Actually, they did better music before 2000 and 1993
Word. I saw them live in Rome on the Joshua Tree tour, and they smoked. Then they started going downhill, but this doesn't mean they never made good music.

Once again Mr Lemming your posts regularly have me in stitches or at least raise a titter (Oooh no missus titter ye not! ) Bless you!

Man, for me, they are playing the same song since they begun... and yes, I know they discography, my brother has like 10 album of them, especially the old ones... but for me it's like the same song over and over again... and according to you, they have 17 years of doing bad music... it's enough to angers somebody don't you think...???

Gong: Never understood the appeal behind this band. I have listened to both Angel's Egg and You numerous times and still just can't get into their music. I actually prefer the little that I've heard of the Gong-Expresso material. I know their fans are extremely devoted and there are a great many of them here, so I guess I'm on the minority here.

U2 (Bono) - crimes including the wearing of shades indoors and the flashing of numerous pointless V-signs Lily Allen - A pretend chav singing cod ska Massive Attack - sixth form politics, annoying "moody" expressions and stupid facial hair

No band grinds my gears more than Nirvana. I know it's cliche, but I want to rant whenever I see a fellow teenager who thinks that Kurt Cobain is the second coming of Christ. I also hate how he name-dropped good artists like King Crimson as his influences, when his music sounded NOTHING like theirs. Bubblegum pop with a feedbacky guitar.
I can't really listen to Smells.. anymore because I've heard it so many times. In fact, I barely pull out my copy of Nevermind anymore. Overplayed. I prefer the more uncommercial raw sound of their first and third album.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...
Interesting responses. I am a little surprised to see someone say the Smiths. I actually quite like them.
I also used to like Nirvana quite a lot. This was before I became a proghead, of course. I haven't listened to them in ages. I actually preferred the more raw, aggressive sound of Bleach and In Utero to the more commercial Nevermind. But, yeah, a generation of kids thinking Cobain invented rock and roll does annoy me somewhat, when there are so many better players out there.
Green Day annoy me since they became massive. I didn't actually mind them pre-American Idiot when they weren't completely in the mainstream.
I don't hate U2 or Coldplay, per se, but they do write music with no real ambition. It's just formulaic and written for mass consumption, not for the art. A shame, because like Green Day, U2 were OK before they became massive.
Emo, like Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance, annoys me to no end. I just don't get it. I'm not even that old. I'm 27. All these kids wearing eyeliner, it just goes right over my head. And screamo? I find it unlistenable.

^ well I usually do that but I'm still not so found of that sort of activity (I have friends who enjoys it verry much and are not afraid of blood (to get out their inner Viking probably). i guess it has to do about getting out agression and energy (but then start boxing or beggin triathlon)
but yes metal concerts are also good to see from beheind the pit, where the sound is better, I avoided nicely the pit when I saw Slipknot but I went nuts for myself and jumped around and danced (verry fun band even though they are nu -metal band)
Yeah, getting out aggression is good. I mean when I'm going to see a band I'm going to see the band, not to go nuts. But if the opportunity comes along to shove someone about that you don't know... well I personally wouldn't turn that down
I must admit though, I do enjoy the music from the back. It's a lot clearer I find. Slipknot? Ah man I couldn't go nuts for them... Not after seeing Decapitated and also Suffocation last year as well Just wouldn't feel right...
Totally agree with you Alex... music is better on the back... but if you go to see someone you really like, at least I love to be in first row and see the action...
About hitting unknown persons... I do agree with you... it's nice... but I'm too short so I have more risk to end up more hurt than anyone... so... it depends... If I don't care a hell about the band... maybe I join the pit for a little agression... but with slow-metal bands like that.. nope... it has to be trash or speed metal... I guess..!!!
Or DEATH METAL.
Or even GRIND.
In fact, Grind's probably the best to hurt someone to
Which band are Grind....??? sounds like I want to know them... jajaja...
This band
Great music, crappy video I must apologise. I can imagine myself headbanging pretty heavily to this live.

Personally, I see them showing up on reality TV 20 years for now in programs like I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, but who knows.
May be a bit premature to call the Jonas Bros the early Beatles of today until they make a radical change in musical direction like the Beatles did. I don't know of many bands other than the big B that has done that. Todd Rundgren had a somewhat brief flirtation with prog with Utopia after a very successful career in pop. Any others come to mind that I've overlooked? [/QUOTE]
"I know the Beatles, and you sir, are no Beatles". It is really their effect on teenage girls that I am referring to. To be honest, I've only seen them play 1 song and that was live on New Years Day last year because they were on Dick Clark. The song kind of reminded me of the type of song that the Beatles wrote in their early days. They will most probably fade into obscurity like most every other boy band that grows up, but ...

Why is it that whenever a pretty girl becomes popular in the music world, people start alleging she's a dude? I remember the same thing happened to Gwen Stefani back when No Doubt made it big. I don't understand this.
As far as gimmicks go... *cough* Peter Gabriel *cough*
Specifically my kids said that......not me....I don't think she is a dude. Never heard that about Gwen..she's hot.
IMO, Gabriel was in character on stage....and then "normal" after the shows. yes or no? Alice Cooper...same deal, I doubt he walked around the streets cutting his head off all the time or a snake around his shoulder. Whether on stage or not Gaga is wearing wires and stars all the time......Hey props for her if she feels the need to be always in "character"........but I don't get it.
