A failed music career.
A failed Z-list movie film career

Now wants to be a bodybuilder (again).

He forgets to realise that he is now too old.

Poor old kev, eh.

what exactly have you got against this man?

well at least he tried and succed at some things in life, think of all the people (and maybe yourself) that didn't have the balls to try and do what they wanted to do. And they did was sit and home and think "What If". Kevin actually put forth some effort .I give him props.
 he's been in what, 3 movies? He has had more roles than most of the model/waiter/actors in Hollyood


exactly

every guy here putting him down has achieved far less

Did a math degree 10 years after school. Got a first class honours classification and am now a math teacher. levrone would not have the intelligence to do that, hence, he'll just have to try and rewind the clock. Not much chance of that though, at what, 43 ?

hahaha a math teacher, i'm sure he's jealous of your christmas and summer vacations ::)

Success is persevering and learning from one's failures.

The only true failure is never trying.

Some of you guys need a Tony Robbins seminar or two.

if that was true then it  would be Ferrigno that did all the blockbuster movies instead of Arnold. he was pushed harder and more mainstream sooner.

no. arnold was much more charismatic than feringo.. i am not saying arnold was not special, i am just saying that for each era there are new standards of "the hero"..

he is referring to his role in 'the villain'  where the critics said his horse was a better actor than he, and 'this muscle head should stick to what he knows, weightlifting'



PLEASE, Levrone would have died to have a major role in a movie with a Kirt Douglas type of caliber in the cast....
How come nobody and I mean NOBODY has critized Levrones work on the big screen for good or for worse?


Thats a homework for u.

Has anyone here actually seen any of Levrone's movies?

If so, are they any good?

Not as good as his music in Rock band FULLBLOWN.

Kevin's bodybuilding career did quite well, and argueably, he could of been Mr. Olympia once or twice.
Kevin's way of getting in shape, gaining weight as he got closer to the contest, was vastly different than many other bodybuilders.

I agree since I never liked Yates physique anyways,  Shawn Ray and Kevin could have taken the tittle from 92-97 IF it was up to me.....

The thing is that he failed as a rock star (wich i have nothing agaisnt)...then he went down to 145 pounds to move on from bb and  pursuit a Motion Picture carreer ....

And now all this "Youtube all day long Project" ..... Just for the sake of getting the attention he had failed to gain in show biz.

I can only wish him good health
At least Yates knew when to say when.

Same goes for bodybuilding. Kevin Levrone in bodybuilding has achieved more than what you've achieved in mathematics, is well known all over the world and will always have his legacy. He's not the first person to try his hand at things like movies and fail. That's nothing to be ashamed of.

What exactly about your being a maths teacher (if you are indeed one) puts you so much above him that you have to mock his attempts at making something of himself after his stint at bodybuilding? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

If you view mathematics and bodybuilding as fields of "equal value" you can say that Levrone's achievements are far greater than Determinators.

If you take a more realistic approach and seeing mathematics as part of the group "mankinds finest intellectual pursuits" and seeing bodybuilding as part of the group "monkeys sticking needles up their ass, blowing sugah daddies cocks and taking years of their lives while posing for fags and teenagers with latent homosexual tendencies", then it is not far fetched to claim that mathematics is a far more worthy pursuit than bodybuilding.

With this in mind, claiming that Determinators achievement is greater than Levrones = not far fetched either (this is of course given that we are not judging by a sense of personal satisfaction that one get from attaining mastery and success (by witch sand castle competitions would be comparable to physics breakthroughs. The standard for comparison between fields and for assigning values of importance in this case  must be the criteria given in the second paragraph).

While Levrone is a part of a bizarre subculture where he really contributes nothing to humanity besides inspiration to a few fags with punctured arses, being part of the mathematical community (and getting a honors degree, quite an accomplishment) = being part of the tradition of brilliance that makes humans great, and one of the biggest reasons for the development of the modern civilization.

Determinator can do many things with his mathematical ability, and using his good intellect for something productive (like shaping the minds of young hopefuls) puts him in a position where he is absolutely "allowed" to make fun of former roid monkeys with an alcohol problem.

In Kevin's defence, at least he is trying to do something, and his odds of success does increase with every attempt. Unfortunately, even though the odds = increasing, it will still be pretty low as the man from an outsiders point of view = not very talented in music or acting, and there has been questions about his work ethic, an extremely important ingredient in reaching the pinnacle of any area. With his age and "late start" in mind, it is doubtful that he'll ever get the quantity of training needed to become successful in his field (and his charisma (the thing that probably carried Ahhnold to the top of Hollywood) is practically nonexistent, so unless his personality magically transforms, he is screwed.

Important question: What can Determinator contribute? He can shape young minds, he can help cracking engineering problems and so on. What can Kevin do with his skillset? Not much. For once: He is an absolutely crappy musician ;D

And please don't use this post to analyze Arnold. Arnold is a different specimen and his bodybuilding legend should be viewed as a byproduct of a man with fantastical abilities and work ethic competing in an era where bodybuilding could be viewed as something more than an obscure drug fest. Arnold got himself to the top in 4 different areas, and should be worshipped for the personality attributes that made him great.

But let's not forget themain reason for this rare Debussey post: To deliver a message: Kiwol is a penis.

Kevin went back to what he knows best.  I don't think 44 is too old to come back and be successful enough to make some money in the industry.  But he would have to be smart enough to save what he makes and invest it wisely.  Vince Taylor had issues with money and bills to pay which he mentioned in three separate videos that I watched.  I found it kind of sad.  It doesn't look like Ronnie saved very much either.

There has also been rumors about Kevin not repaying money that he has borrowed.

LOL @ the message!

Anyway, I don't think maths and bodybuilding are fields / pursuits of equal value, cause the concept of value always raises the question, "Value for what and to who?"

You can say maths is of more value to humanity than bodybuilding in one way (although one could argue about that at length), but even if that's true, that doesn't necessarily or automatically make Determinator more valuable a person than K Lo, simply because he practices it for a profession.

Bodybuilding has been reduced to a whole lot of assclowns abusing drugs and making a circus freak show of it, but that's not all there is to it. 99% of the people who start bodybuilding don't do it cause they are motivated by all the sordid happenings of the industry or what some of the meatheads get involved in. They do it because it's all about improving one's self, body, image and mentality. I'd say bodybuilding is just as great as maths, albeit in a very different way.

K Lo may be a drug abuser and all, but his physique has inspired countless people to improve their own, while giving them a vision of what is humanly possible. I'd say that is much bigger and grander an impact than Determinator could have on his students. Between the 2 of them, Kevin has achieved way more than Determinator has, in just as difficult a field of pursuit to be successful in, financially and otherwise.

Debussey wrote a semi-serious post hoping for you to engage in some serious non-productive discussion, and you come up with THAT? Where is your master-debating competitive spirit you fuckface? DEbussey thought this could become a hard headed argument  >:(


You are right in that evaluating the importance and value of a field = difficult, but in this case you have to try to look at the total effects on the "human system" as it serves for a good standard (and it touches strongly upon the question you write about importance).

Let's just say that if you removed bodybuilding from the planet tomorrow, the impact would be miniscule compared to if you removed all of matematics tomorrow (haha, defining how this should be done and what should be removed = extremely difficult, but lets keep it simple for the sake of the example). If all of mathematics were removed, the human civilization would collapse and regress back to the stone age (no more technological development, no maintenace of existing technology, collapse of markets ect). If you removed bodybuilding, you'd get rid of a few roid monkeys and parts of the fitness industry, but the impact would be breadcrumbs compared to the civilization destructor called mathematics removingitis.

In the future, the world economy will become more and more based around technological improvement, and mathematics = key component in practically all of that. Hell, mathematics is a key component in the world economy itself, and it helps run practically all of our sciences in one way or another. What does bodybuilding to to rival these things?

And your example of Kevins inspirational power is not a good one.
There are tons of inspirational characters out there, and Kevin is not a well known one in the myriad of them, even if we limit ourselves to the sports world. The actual impact his accomplishment has had on no-roid monkeys = not that big, and it could be assumed that he has also inspired thousands of men and women to turn their bodies into laboratories for underground bacteria filled injectables. Since he was one of the top BB's, his inspirational power to the hardcore roid monkey would probably be insane.
So Kevin might have been the inspiration for criminal activtiy, Gay for paying, drug abuse and reckless living too, but at the same time he should get some credit for the share of healty people he might have helped "create".  

Hell, his inspiration might have caused more harm than good ;D 8)

Addition: Debussey does not include the average "gym goer" in the definition of a "bodybuilder" here.
