what band do you think licks ass but everyone else loves?

[BangoSkank]

peter frampton... aaaaaaaaaaaaagh ::dies::


big whoop dingus your guitar can talk... anybody with effects can do that.



whats everyon elses?

[mrlee]

anything like 50 cent or hip hop. Or any mass produced shite.

[Genesis]

DreamTheater. Great musicians, but the songs... 

[Buddy J.B.]

I feel that way about hip-hop music and Nirvana.

[Axls Locomotive]

coldplay and radiohead...i wish theyd go depress someone else

[Jamie]

Green Day, and emo. Perhaps the biggest pieces of shit ever to be produced by the music industry.

[Sakib]

coldplay, oasis radiohead, stereophonics

[makane]

Metallica

[mrlee]

Green Day, and emo. Perhaps the biggest pieces of shit ever to be produced by the music industry.

agreed 100% on the emo!!!!! Not on green day since they did do one good album imo.

[BangoSkank]

how do you guys hate coldplay... i mean damn, chris martin knows his shit on piano

[Slipdisc]

Never been a Coldplay fan either. Never understood the hype. It's obvious that those people are good solid musicians, but it (watch out opinion coming) just sounds so boring and whiny (don't even know whether that's a real word). Really don't like the vocals and the way the songs are arranged. I have similar feelings towards U2, I can clearly hear that Bono has a very strong voice, just don't like the way he uses it. This melancholy voice is just to much for me, very depressing...

I wouldn't say they 'lick' ass, just not my cup of tea...

-PEACE-

[badapple81]

U2 - have never been able to get into them, and think they are very overated 

[Aava]

M?tley Cr?e

Someone described Coldplay as "music for people who cry as they masturbate". Somehow I find that amazingly accurate.

Yes. Congratulations

[MadmanDan]

There are lots of them , but Nirvana, Radiohead and Coldplay come to mind.

Oh, and I never was a big fan of Iron maiden..I find them rather boring, and with completley retarded lirycs

[Evolution]

I agree with Coldplay. What a snore.

[Bridge]

I would say Van Halen.  I wouldnt necessarily say that they "suck", but I hear people rave ass about them and give them more praise than they really deserve.  I have listened to them extensively because I want to like them.  I want to like them since they're regarded so highly, but I just can't get into them beyond a few tracks.

[Izzy]

Oh, and I never was a big fan of Iron maiden..I find them rather boring, and with completley retarded lirycs

I agree - i like a couple of their songs, but their albums have so many sub-par tracks and the childish lyrics - all seems rather silly when its supposed to be metal....

[John Daniels]

Coldplay is an excellent choise. and what's the the thing with metallica here? does metallica really suck ass or is it just a trend to hate metallica type of thing going on..?






edit. Nirvana sucks ass too now.  even if I'm not the biggest fan of Nirvana I wouldn't say it's a fuckin terrible and pointless band.

[makane]

No it's not a trend, their songs are just highly overrated. It's just a band almost every kid admire when they start playing guitar, until they find something better. Then they realise Hammet's also very overrated when they get there's more than playing scales fast without a head.
praise to blues-rock.

alright then?


edit..okay, I agree you with the Hammet comment..

[vietnow138]

I could never really get into hardcore or death metal.

[Walk]

Iron Maiden rules. They're one of the few bands that is respected in both the mainstream and underground scene. Their lyrics are brilliant and their dual melodies absolutely destroy the boring solos of most other bands. They are one of few bands that can claim to make 7 classic albums in a row, and none of them sound like the next! They are diverse and interesting from album to album. Their best songs, of course, are the ones less celebrated, like Revelations and Infinite Dreams. It's almost impossible not to like an Iron Maiden album!

So, I'm going to say Judas Priest, Maiden's archrival, is stupidly overrated. From Stained Class to Painkiller, there's only one great album in the middle: Defenders of the Faith. That's about 15 years, 7 albums, and only 1 that's overall a great one. Killing Machine, British Steel, Point of Entry, Screaming for Vengeance, Turbo, and Ram it Down are all subpar compared to the rest of Priest's albums. They're generic pop-metal. I don't know how they get so much credit. They have lots of great stuff, but a lot of filler, too...

Metallica hasn't been a good band since 1988. They have 4 classic albums and 4 abortions. Overall, they're absolutely mediocre.

[Metallifuck]

Don't their live tours throughout the '90s mean anything to you?

[Skeletor]

What's interesting about Metallica is that they'd be ridiculously respected (albeit not as famous) if they had, e.g., all died on that bus with Cliff in 1986. The question is, does a band's present actions nullify their glorious past? I think calling Metallica mediocre is a bit over the top, no matter how much their latest album(s) sucks balls.

how about that he had not of died and we would have had better albums after the great master of puppets.

[damien24]

what if they never kicked dave mustaine out of the group?

i agree about coldplay too-    whiney voice- boring guitar and piano-    the singer and his wife annoy me to no end-  i wish they had their own TV show so i can have the satisfaction of watching something else.

for myself-----the one band that everyone loves, but i just can not get into the music-   The Beatles.     whats the bfd?

and whats up with these Guns N roses fags?  (j/k)

Their first 2 albums had a lot coming from Dave Mustaine. Kirk's Exodus experience also probably lended a few riffs. After KEA (a true masterpiece) and RTL (decent follow-up), the band started to stagnate. MOP has Orion, the title track, and Battery, and that's it. Filler doesn't count.

AJFA is the only good "pure" Metallica release. The others were either bad or had someone else's influence. The band just isn't that great compared to Overkill, Megadeth, Slayer, Sepultura, Dark Angel, Destruction, Death Angel, Sodom, Tankard, or just about any other thrash band from that time period. They're better than Testament, and that's about as far as it goes.

Cliff's death doesn't prove anything because Metallica still had 1 good album to put out afterwards. If all of them died, we would have missed out on One, Dyer's Eve, Blackened, To Live Is To Die, etc. They all died in 1990 anyway, as far as I'm concerned.

Their new material doesn't take anything away from their past, which is great. It's just not as great as the legacy of all the other bands I mentioned, and then some.

[-Jack-]

Nirvana, Coldplay, Iron Maiden, and emo. (Emo must die)

The Killers - I just don't get it?

100% hate the killers

[Izzy]

Their lyrics are brilliant

Goblins.....*shakes head*

and their dual melodies absolutely destroy the boring solos of most other bands.

Dance of death (the album) is without doubt the most boring guitar rock album ever released - 3 guitarists and thats all they could manage?!?

They are one of few bands that can claim to make 7 classic albums in a row,

Not even they claim that....maybe u've forgotten about the rubbish that fills Number of the Beast?

It's almost impossible not to like an Iron Maiden album!

True - because they always have one great song, its the only 8 or so that bother me

U spent every post up to this praising them as the bets thing ever - u hold the record for the most mentions of Rob Halford. And now u change ur mind......

[*Izzy*]

Coldplay, The Killers, Foo Fighters (Currently)

[Walk]

Goblins.....*shakes head*

Iron Maiden made a song about goblins? That's news to me. Besides, they have enough serious songs to excuse a little fun sometimes. Think of Paschendale or Hallowed Be Thy Name. Those are excellent songs with excellent lyrics.

Dance of death (the album) is without doubt the most boring guitar rock album ever released - 3 guitarists and thats all they could manage?!?

It has filler, of course, but it also have its high marks. Paschendale, Montsegur, Rainmaker, Dance of Death, and Journeyman are all great songs. The album is about 50% filler, I know, but it's a 70 minute album, so it turns out to be a reasonably solid release. Those 35 minutes are well worth it! 

Not even they claim that....maybe u've forgotten about the rubbish that fills Number of the Beast?

I haven't. It's importance for its influence and transcendence of the NWOBHM scene, even if it's a little rough around the edges. It's Bruce's first album with Iron Maiden, come on. Besides, it has Hallowed By Thy Name, Maiden's finest moment!

True - because they always have one great song, its the only 8 or so that bother me

Almost every Maiden album has at least 4 classic songs on it. You're not looking hard enough.

Schizo

I'm keeping with the topic there so I won't be off-topic.

U spent every post up to this praising them as the bets thing ever - u hold the record for the most mentions of Rob Halford. And now u change ur mind......

They are one of the greatest bands of all time. Their albums Sad Wings Of Destiny, Sin After Sin, Stained Class, and Unleashed In The East are the greatest metal albums of the 70's, maybe even of all time! I just believe their 80's period is bad, especially compared to their previous work.

Luckily, they put out Painkiller in the early 90's, so they're forgiven. 

[Sakib]

i h8 Kaiser Chiefs and franz ferdinand

[Cubb]

good charlotte!!! i hate them with a passion!

i kinda have to agree with the metallica(my best friend is going to kill me) i liked a couple of their songs but i dont think they are really all that great!i think theyr gud dont get me wrong but jus not that good.

its like nirvana aint it,if kurt hadnt died ther wudnt be so much hype about them.

[Buddy J.B.]

I used to be one of those people ,"Metallica are sell-outs, to hell with them," when I was younger but I think what it is they just lost interest in the metal scene, I lose interest in things too, it's just part of life.

[mrlee]

Nirvana, Coldplay, Iron Maiden, and emo. (Emo must die)

     -jack

Apart from the Iron maiden comment, i totally agree..........especially the emo scum!

[the dirt]

Radiohead

Wallflowers (are they still around?)

[Stones]

simple plan... the worst band. ever. period. musically it sucks majorly... lyrically its worst... stuff like "i crashed my dad's car, god must hate me..."     "i'm just a kid and life's just not fair..."   wtf...

ROFL DIE EMO SCUM!!!!!!!! KILL EM ALL!!!!

[lynn1961]

Greenday, for one.  I don't get it - why they are so huge and have won all these awards?  Nickelback & Linkin Park.

And, (I know I'm going to be slaughtered for this one) Ozzy. I don't even like some of the old Black Sabbath stuff.  His voice sort of irritates me, has kind of a whine to it.  Then he sold out by doing a reality show, which sort of destroyed his image of big bad ass rock n' roller.  Now, I think he just looks like a little old man, kind of a pathetic one, at that.   

[Mandy]

Definately Nirvana and Coldplay - their music makes me wanna puke!!? ?

[The New Fiona Apple]

My Chemical Romance, I hate emo music period and I hate their self loathing in specific.


The Frontman is pretty decent though, but he would need to be in a punk,metal, and cock-rockish band to really shine.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I agree - i like a couple of their songs, but their albums have so many sub-par tracks and the childish lyrics - all seems rather silly when its supposed to be metal....

Really? from someone that likes Deff Leppard it's kinda weird that you hate Maiden

Goblins.....*shakes head*

I think maiden is more than goblins, songs like Still life in Piece of Mind album, The evil that men do in 7th son album, Afraid to shot a stranger in Fear of the dark album, are a great proof that they write almost about everything.

Dance of death (the album) is without doubt the most boring guitar rock album ever released - 3 guitarists and thats all they could manage?!?

Yes that album doesn't make fair appreciattion of the good music they can make, but Brave New World is not boring at all, I recomend you to listen Dream of mirrors, The thin line between love and hate, Fallen angel; are great songs on that album. And that album also have 3 guitar players

Not even they claim that....maybe u've forgotten about the rubbish that fills Number of the Beast?

Rubbish?  are we talking about the same record?, 22 acacia av, children of the damn, run to the hills, halloweed be thy name, number of the beast and yes is a 8 track records, so I think for someone who doesn't aprreciate much Maiden it's quite a great album. And I leaving behind Inviders (great intro for an album), The prisoner (another excellent song), Gangland (great drumming, even though Maiden didn't like it either, so I give you a point for that).

[Katrin]

first of all, can anybody explain to non native english speaking people like me what "emo" is?

well, a list of bands I don' t like:

50 cent and hiphop in general
greenday
U2
good charlotte, simple plan etc...
metallica... I think they' re kinda boring...
franz ferdinand and stuff like that

i could go on with that list, but that' d be too much 

[Rob]

Gotta go with Nirvana.  Why do they get all the credit when Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and STP were superior bands?

[Jamie]

first of all, can anybody explain to non native english speaking people like me what "emo" is?

Emo is my chemical romance, and all those other moany assholes.

[Chris Misfit]

Emo = Emothional Hardcore. Swaying away from traditional hardcore, lyrically emotional and musically more experimental.

Check out Dag Nasty, Embrace (not the indie band), Rites Of Spring and Verbal Assualt.

The media have labelled alot of todays bands EMO, and in some ways they are quite the opposite. All though, are shite.

[journey]

Air Supply is my favorite EMO band.

[lynn1961]

Oh God...I had so forgotten about Air Supply, and would like to keep it forgotten!  Another bad band.   Speaking of 70's, a lot of people liked REO Speedwagon, but not me. 

[journey]

Oh God...I had so forgotten about Air Supply, and would like to keep it forgotten!?   

Lynn, you know you're a closet Air Supply fan. Stop fronting!

[Katrin]

Thanks for explaining 

[im rickjames bitch]

the killers, radiohead, crap sing, slow,boring depressing songs, U2 (i like some of their songs but i dont know why they are so big)

[lynn1961]

Oh God...I had so forgotten about Air Supply, and would like to keep it forgotten! 

Lynn, you know you're a closet Air Supply fan. Stop fronting!
