The Most overrated Band ...

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Tell that to Axl man.

mmm Nirvana and their screams.

[Izzy]

Nine Inch Nails. Trent is talented, but he's no genius.

apart from the 'is talented' bit i agree

[Jamie]

but I think they are trying to much to experiment with music that at the end they have lost that je ne pas? that makes rock great

Not trying to be picky but doesn't je ne pas mean "I am not"?!

People dont wanna give Kurt credit, now overrated guitarist maybe but I dont think he is overrated at all.

Nirvana crushed hair bands, I mean think about that, Nirvana crushed the hair bands and ushered in a new wave of music, how many times has a musical revolution like that happened? just a few im sure.


Oasis outside of Champagne Supernova have never appealed to me, granted I havent heard a shitload of their songs so Im probably missing out on them and radiohead, I do dig Creep by radiohead

i downloaded a few Radiohead songs a while back though and never could really get into them.

D... you are giving Kurt and Nirvana WAYYYYYYY too much credit (hense, the title of this thread is very appropriate when speaking in terms of Nirvana.)

Nirvana did NOT kill hair bands... they were pretty much destroyed when GnR hit the scene and made it ok for rock to be nasty again.  Before GnR... thanks to Bon Jovi and the other hair bands, the hard rock sound had become too mainstream and too nice.

What Nirvana (along with others -- Pearl Jam & Alice in Chains come to mind) did do, is usher in a new style of music.  They helped create the grunge sound -- the angst ridden sound that reminded us that life sucks -- which was just as effectively killed when Kurt killed himself (or someone killed him).   Grunge was probably the shortest lived musical style in history... I think that Disco even lived a longer life than did grunge.

However, that is nothing exceptional.  It's no more amazing than when Punk Rock stamped out the disco flames in the late 70s.   

It happens all the time... something comes along to kick mainstream music in it's collective ass and all the sudden the musical tide changes.  And it has just as much to do with who is listening to the music as it does to who is creating it... because as the current mainstream generation gets older, they get replaced by a younger crowd who have different musical preferences.

 

Yeah i guess emo is the new grunge. Maybe the next musical revolution can be something good again...like the ressurection of real rock music and real metal, no grunting crap.

I don't know! You could have been right in the first place, but I do French in school and it just didn't sound right, but I'm shit at it so I dunno!

Dream Theater. they think they would be the next "Yes".....come oooonnnnnnn!!!? ?

Agree with you my friend, they think that they could be the next Metallica or Megadeth or something that is supposed to be the next, but I think they are trying to much to experiment with music that at the end they have lost that je ne se pas? that makes rock great

I saw them live last summer opening for Megadeth and I almost fell asleep.  Once your average song is about half-an hour long it gets to be too much.

[mrlee]

yeah...metallicas early albums had 8 min songs which is fine....dream theater have 20 min songs.....kinda too long.

[RichardNixon]

Not a huge Metallica, Megadeth or Pantera fan..."rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm angry!"

Yeah, I get it.
