“It’s the way I live, I grew up looking at rock stars. It’s in my blood. I think aggression scares people. But if you’re scared, you’re feeling something. Yeah, there’s loud guitars and drums. The reaction, it’s really kind of sad … [I'm] trying to reinvent and bring back rock ‘n roll.”

Taylor Momsen, who turns … 17 today, on how her stage persona is also her real-life persona, and how she’s trying to reinvent the wheel rock and roll.

You go, girl. Really. Go. [Points to a gaping hole in the earth's crust, where you can see right down to its blazing, fiery core.]

    At least the girl has ambition. She may try to act twice her age, but she’s actually going somewhere with it. Sorry, Sarah.

    And that last line? who the fuck talks about a 17 year-old kid that way?

  2. Joy says:

    She kinda looks like a mini Cameron Diaz in that picture.

    And in completely unrelated news, Mick Jagger turns 67 today.

    Is this broad serious?!?! What’s next? She’s going to bring back the wheel? Please! Were are her parents when she’s dressing like an emo prostitute to go on stage?

    Well, you know Sarah, you can mock her as much as you want, but the girl’s well talented. Have you listened to her band? She’s got a great voice, and her song “You Make Me Wanna Die” was included in the Kick-Ass soundtrack. And yeah, it’s a kick-arse song. So criticise her as much as you want… she’s good at this.

    Rock n roll doesn’t need to reinvented. It was fine before you even came along little girl.

  7. anon says:

    at least she’s trying.

      No she is an unoriginal TRY hard and an attention seeker of the worst kind, she has no morals and is part of the sickening culture of sexualizing girls at a young age, her latest video makes me sick, this stupid girl is barely out of nappies and crawling on table in a short skirt so old men can see up it, I have tried very hard to get the clip removed from You Tube, but they must be on the payroll or something.

      The video clip is clearly suggestive and goes against You Tube’s policy of “videos featuring minors (18 and under) should never be sexually suggestive.

      It is Pretty Reckless-Miss Nothing

    I never noticed before that her eyes are amazing. I guess because they’re always caked in black. She’s really pretty..

  9. Katrina says:

    why do young girls this it’s hot to look like a crack whore?

  10. Che says:

    I don’t really have anything against this girl.
    I like her voice, but the lyrics in her songs aren’t anything out of the ordinary.
    However, that ‘reinvent’ rock comment is stupid. It doesn’t need to be reinvented, no one can beat the old rock n’ roll groups of the past.

    I used to dislike Taylor….until I actually listened to her songs. They’re good, she has a great voice and it isn’t some sort of nasty bubble gum pop. Screw people who are judging her just because of her age and what she wears. Just because she’s young doesn’t mean she can’t sing about mature issues, years don’t automatically gain you maturity.

  12. i hate taylor says:

    fugly bitch with racoon eyes!!

  13. Brian says:

    She looks a little cracked out. But I’d still bend her over and bang her for a rock!

  14. soph says:

    LOL, she’s so funny. poor little thing. she’ll look at this 10 years from now and think “what the fuck was i thinking?” so pathetic. just stop.

    (and i bet every person who thinks she’s cool is 14-18 just like her)

  15. Lizzyy says:

    Ohh god this is really sad! I’m 15 by the way and even I think she’s putting shame to all teenagers put there!
    I love rock and at the moment we have no one bringing back
    rock n’ roll so some 17 year old gossip girl Emo slut thinks she can reinvent it!! It makes me sooo angry!
    God I hate her! She’s 17 she hasn’t even lived yet or experienced anything other than fame!
    She needs to get her head put o her arse and realise that she can’t be bad ass. Instead of her, rock n’ roll fans, need a new saviour! Like kurt cobain, jim Morrison and more bands like ac/dc and the rolling stones not the pretty reckless!
    Go back to gossip girl you prick!
