Guns N Roses is one of the best bands of all time. Personally i hate all that metal screamo shit. Dark and "goth" music is the gayest thing ever. "No your parents dont hate you, the worlds not out to get you. Grow Up"!

I think you read my post wrong; The point I was making is that bands with talent nowadays are NOT the ones that make it big, end of story. Mainstream has always been pretty dire, but there were times, in the past were the biggest band in the world also happened to be the best.

Will future generations look back on us as fans of piece of shit "rappers" who couldn't lay down a coherant piece of rap if their lives depended on it.

And there are good rappers out there. And, (I would assume) good metal bands. Fact of the matter is, I have rarely if ever heard of theses guys. I know they exist, It's just that the guys who have the talent aren't always the most freaking marketable. And to get to know the good'uns in a certain genre you need to dig. My genre is history, and I dig for it's greatest bands.

And 99% of music being shit is true. Infact, it has been for a long, long time. Of course it's an exaggeration, but attacking me for using an expression is alittle infentile.

By the way, I don't actually like The Strokes or Franz Ferdinand partically, I just needed to list some modern bands that I could stand.


And don't go and insult a band you seem to have never heard of. Are you SURE you mean Muse when your talking of boring bands? Muse are an extremely loud power driven Three-piece band, you can call them all sorts of things but boring just ain't one of them.


I did not say that everyband in a genre sucks. Infact I was very careful NOT to say that, you just assumed I was saying something that you'd disagree with because of our arguement ealier. I have never heard a metal band I can stand listening to, in any of the many, many different versions of metal.

I've heard quite a few rappers I've liked, but almost ALL of what I hear called "Hip hop" is Mtv bullshit. The powers that be decided the genre was marketable and the result is more shit "rappers" shoved down our throats than you can bare.

I don't know why you used half your post to insult my tastes...bitterness perhaps?

Anyway, all my resoning for mainstream now being worse than ever, is when I look back at past generations of music.

We have 60s, for the youth it's cool to be a hippy...great music backing all that up. 70s, punk movement, great music there, 80s...no comment, this was the start of bad things for music. 90s had Nivarna for awhile, and they were nice. But right now, the "cool" music amoung youth is, in my opinion the worst excuse of music ever concived. It's very easy to blame Mtv entirely for this, so I do.

Let me correct myself, I said 99% of modern music, and I should have just left out modern. Thus, I find the easiest way to sort through the shit is just to ask my elders and find the historically acclaimed artists, because I can't think of any better way to spend my music listening time then to listen to the best music history has to offer.

I just can't wait for the days when an EXTREMELY talented band will come out and dominate music, not because it's marketable, or hip at the time but because it's damn good. A band we can show our children, proudly. We can say we were there when this new music rose...

Personly, I'm gunning for another Punk revolution. Just imagine aloud of really ugly punks striding in and punching all the no-talented mainstream hiphoppers in the face.

I always thought "Nothing Else Matters" was badly produced. Haven't heard the rest of the S/T album, but if it's all like NEM... I doubt I'd like it.

Anyway. Hammerhead, if you enjoy Slayer, you'll like Death Angel. "Act 3" and "Art of Dying" stands as their best albums, but "The Ultraviolence" and "Frolic Through The Park" are also worth checking out.

"Are there any punks out there? You know ... PUNKS?"

*silence*

"You know. Nineteenseventyseven. PUNKS!"

*silence*

"This one's for the punks out there."

- Lemmy at Rock Am Ring 2004

I wouldn't bet on it. Punk is dead, and todays "punks" are about as bad ass as flowers. If any genre were to take completely over, I would bet on metal, as it seems it's getting more and more popular. Especially amongst the anti mainstreamers (you know... those who hate mainstream, but listen to mainstream music...). However, the "metal" that's popular right now isn't reaaally metal. Nu-metal... rap-metal... Linkin Park and such.

Anyway. The first metal band (at least that I know of) was Black Sabbath.
"Its like heavy metal raining from the sky."

Before them, there was hard rock. Led Zeppelin was hard rock.

Hammerhead: Slayer has (or used to have) good lyrics. But it's not really the selling point of the music, now is it? I enjoy the lyrics of songs like Angel of Death, but that's not why I listen to their music. Same goes for black metal and death metal. It's not the lyrics I listen to.

Just for example, I can listen to Ray Charles and then listen to Nirvana then listen to Slayer. None of the same genres of course.

To say metal band never get global recognition is false. Think about it for a second, what about Black Sabbath, what about Metallica. And its funny because you said in the other thread that Led Zeppelin is a metal band, and up above you said they were a band that will never be forgotten.
Ah, you noticed the Led Zeppelin contradiction then? That was my idea of a little in-joke, just to show I don't actually take my opinions too seriously. I make ALOT of these jokes and if any bored sod was to look at posts of mine in different threads around the same time, they'd find them everywhere.

Anyway, I didn't say that a metal band has never gotten recognition, just one that I thought of as talented. Of course you could name Black Sabbith and such, but I guess I was blind to the bands of the past when I said that because my entire arguement was just how bad modern music is. I was more referring to the current metal scene. Sorry, as per-bloody-usual I forget a technicality and accidentally said something that was false. Exaggeration is partly to blame for this.

Anyway, I was more saying that to express just how little good bands are recognised nowadays. Who knows if there are metal bands today that are better than Black Sabbith? I don't, and that's exactly my point.
Then again, this has always been the way. Recognition does not coalate with talent. It's just that the current mainstream "hip" music is something that makes my eyes water it's so bad.

Again, I think the best way to solve this is to have the Punks come back and punch MTV in the balls.
I see, I can understand how you hate hip-hop as I do too, but I wouldnt say they have no talent. As for the nu-metal, its okay, but not great. I mean I listen to SLipknot on occasion, Im not a fan of the lyrics but I like the drums. This also goes for Slayer.

Anyways, its not argument, its discussion. It was good while it lasted
Urgh, people are still assuming that I'm saying Hip-Hoppers all have no talent. I swear, soon a hip hip fan is going to enter this thread and hate on me.

In my own little mind I like to seperate Hip Hop and Rap, Hip Hop being the sort of BLING BLING shiny ass rubbish with the occasional woman's orgasm thrown in, top of MTV playlist everyday bull-shite and Rap as some black guy with talent, rapping about SOMETHING over a beat.
Now, this segregation is incorrect but he helps me remember that dispite all the utter bullshit mainstream stuff, Rap still has SOME credability.

Oh, and seeing that on the rate the band above you topic I'm probably NEVER going to get a band I know to comment on, I'll reply to the Led Zeppelin comments here.

Strickly speaking Led Zeppelin WEREN'T a Metal band...but some of their stuff falls into the hazy catagory of metal, and seeing that they were masters of those particular songs...well hey, I needed SOMEWAY to plug Zeppelin into that thread. Your reply was funny though...

Jimmy Page gettting 8.5 out of ten. Now I won't say anything about people's opinions on music or ANYTHING...but SOMEBODY has to agree with me that thats quite silly.

5 out of ten for vocals is funny too, but perhaps Robert Plant is an aquired taste *shrug*

Oh and to get things clear I am NOT a massive Zep fan, I just wanted to pick something that wouldn't be ripped apart by rabid Metal fans. If I had mentioned my FAVOURATE artists, like Muse or David Bowie..I would have been in for a real butchering.
Okay, Okay there. Now i never said that you said hip-hoppers have no talent I just said I think they do, but its not for me.

As for the comments on my rating for Led Zeppelin. Okay, one thing I probably will never do is rate something 10/10, which is perfect and considering Led Zeppelin is pretty good, 8.5 is pretty damn good rating if you ask me. Im not into the kind of guitar and bass played, Im more into the heavy stuff, remember its all opinion, and in my opinion the guitar is good, but its not the kind of guitar playin I love.

And yes Im not a fan of Robert Plant's vocals, remember, opinion. AGain its not the kind of vocal work I like so I gave it a 5/10.

You rated Metallica 6/10...I would like to see what you would rate them on the criteria, IMO they have the best vocals right now and back then. I just prefer Hetfield over Plant, much because Plant is mellow compared to Hetfield, and I like heavy vocals more.

Like you said, in the end its all about musical preference
Vocals: 7/10 Quite often nice and raw -which is a good thing. Not exactly the biggest range ever, but very strong at times.

Guitar: 5/10 Occasional moments of inspiration but mainly bleh

Bass: 3/10 Never exactly stood out...

Drums: 4/10 Nothing to talk about here.

Most importantly I'd rate their songwriting, the most important factor, low. I'm kind of stuck though, because almost all of their stuff I've heard I haven't liked, but Nothing Else Matters was one of my all time favourate songs.
And seeing that we are doing Zeppelin/Metallica comparisons...

Led Zeppelin 9/10

Vocals: 9/10 Soft when he needs to be gentle, and raw when energy needs to be applied.

Guitar: 10/10 Now I'm not one for giving 10/10 either, but this is my one exception. It was the Violin Bow Guitar Solo that did it. Page wields dark magic through his guitar...I swear...

Bass: 6/10 Never really stood out, and had no right too, considering what Page was offering.

Drums: 7/10 On one hand, awesome drumming, but on the other, 20 minute drum solos. Some things just can't be forgiven.

Bands that will never be forgotten, like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...a particular favourate of mine is David Bowie. That guy hast more talent than all of us, combined then multiplied to infinity.

But when it comes to MODERN music...99% of it is shit, but afew bands I do like are The White Stripes, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, and of course my number one band of all time

Muse.


So my tastes are alittle alternitive: The greatest bands from througout history, and whatever talent I can scourage from the modern music scene. Sadly there isn't much to scavage nowadays.
That is actually rather like my own tastes, i like a lot of the 'oldies' and what not, like The Beatles, Led Zepplen(not a real big fan but a fan non the less), and also some Rock 'n' Roll, like from the late 80's early 90's, the early 90's more of the brit pop area but non the less,

the two i'm going to mention are The Stone Roses, out and out Classic, They put out an awsome debut album, not the greatest follow up, and i'll admit, i only got into them within the past year, after being coaxed into listening to them by my bro,

and the other is possibley my all time favourite band ever, Oasis, Straight up amazing, they put out possibley the greatest debut record of all time with Deffinetley Maybe, the songs on that album are awsome, from 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' to 'Live Forever' to 'Maried With Children', pure, and simpley, awsome, and then the follow up album, '(What's the Story) Morning Glory', that album, blew me away when i heard it, evry song on that album is just quality, pure and simple, i could go on but i'd take to long and its rather late were i am.

but Davion, when u say thaty 99% of Modern Music sucks, it is a bit off, its up there in the 90%'s for sure, but a tad lower, because look at all the class groups out now, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, Razorlight, Maroon 5, Keane, theres many more, Oasis are putting out a new record which looks to be fantastic, ok, so there not really modern, but when you think about it, alot of the acts out now, Franz for one, Travis are bringing out a new record, U2 are back, and i've even seen from your(davions) msn name theres a new Muse song/record coming out, so Music is getting back to good

But there is still the point of dance and rave 'Music'(i am using that word losely), which frankly should be wiped of the face of the earth all together, and Heavy Metal i dont like either, but only the really heavy stuff, i can tolerate an amount of less heavy metal though

Okay, so i kind of trailed of a bit but i think you get the point i'm trying to make
Well, as I explained in one of my next posts 99% is an expression, and exaggeration to express my deep horror in the current music scene. Sure, if you looked at it subjectively and seperated the good bands from the ones that weren't worthy wiping your ass with, then it would come closer to the high 80 percents...but taking everything I say completely literally is the only way to come to the conclusion that I said otherwise.

I'll come clean: I hate mainstream hip-hop. I hate pop, dance, metal, pop-rock pieces of trash like The Darkness...these bands make my insides curdle. I think goth is funny so I let it get away with not actually being pleasent to listen too, and modern "punk" can be pretty funny too so I don't hate on that. Generally nowadays music has to have "alternitive" or "classic "slapped on it's genre to actually be of any trace quality, and thats a sad thing indeed. Were The Rolling Stones alternitive? Were the Sex Pistols alternitive?

Thats what pisses me off. I think with the recent slew of terrible music over the past, say DECADE we desirve at least one band, one band that just dominates everybody else, and is talented and "cool" at the same time. That way we could at least look back and be proud of our generation and it's music.
I don't care if it's controversal, rude, ugly, offensive to every moral we hold dear -all those things would be bonuses.

I think what we need first of all is anti-MTV music. Thing is, there are alot of people who hate MTV, alot of good musicians...but it's kinda hard to make it big when your insulting the guys that decide wether you get promoted or not. Still, it HAS to be possible. Maybe we'll need alot of current big bands, from all genres to start it all up, but somehow I think Mtv being brutally murdered is the first step to saving music. Who knows were we'd go from there...but music seemed to be able to work long before MTV existed so, hey, it'd find away.

Have I hated on MTV enough yet? Definatly not. But I can see your falling asleep, so the rant post will end now.

KoRn does not suck you f***nut they have sold millions upon millions of albums so has static x all metal fans should pick up some of these albums
Just another MTV kid who thinks record sales can buy you talent.

Oh well, stick to that soft poppy/mainstream shit, I guess.
soft, poppy, yet you listen to Nightwish, who is no less poppier than Korn or static x. I mean their vocalist is a girl, nothing wrong with that, but it sure doesnt make them heavier.

Oh yeah and your music is the best because you say it is. All you have done is come in here and bash music preferences, and have yet to say something knowlegable.

If you like Backstreet boys, good for you. If you liek Nightwish, good for you. If you like Metallica, good for you. Its all about preferences and there all different, its just something you deal with, no matter how much it disgusts you.

Again, your ignoreing the words I wrote. "few and far between" -that, at most is only saying that there are a hell of a lot shit metal bands. This, in my opinion is completely true because of all the metal bands I've heard I couldn't stand one. It says nothing about the AMOUNT of good metal bands, just the ratio of good metal bands to shit ones. When did I say talent is not involved? I actually STATED that there was talent there, even though I'd never found it. How in any way is that saying there is no talent?

Your a very confused individal...who seems to hate me.

But hey, we are both VERY opinionated, argumentitive and both seem to have at least a slight dislike for Guns And Roses. Look how similar we are! So why don't we both just forget where our opinions disagree (because lets be honest, this has come down to just our tastes in music differing) and stop argueing for no reason?

Man Spicolli... why must you think you're more supperior than others based on your music taste alone? Everyone is entitled to their own taste man, and it doesn't make you any worse of a person whether you like Avril Lavigne or Slayer or Dream Theatre.

That's the beauty of music, everyone likes it in some form or fashion. It's just there, and its there for you to make the best of it and pick and choose your likings at your own will.

But I do agree with what people have said.. anything after like the mid-nineties I dont even care for anymore. Albums can have all the god damn hype in the world now, and they never live up to the hype anymore.

In the 80's and 70's bands would get buzz, but they would deliver a blockbuster album and rightfully sell millions. These days an album gets alot of buzz, sells alot of records..but the album is shit. It's just mainstream popularity. Fuck it pisses me off.

When will the "Appetite for Destruction" of our era be released? I don't know.. but we need some timeless music. Probabally you music "superiorists" will get a little shrivled up at this but I bought the debut album by Silvertide(Show and Tell)..and it may have been the first album that hasn't dissapointed me in quite a while. What can I say I'm a sucker for strong lyrics and bomb guitar riffs/solos with a little bit of Wah Pedal Action.

Anyways... I like this discussion.
Later oN

Oh, it's not about who is heavier. It's more about who's musically superior, and if you're implying that Korn is musically superior to Nightwish, then god help you.

It's just that i find it hilarious when I see people who call static x and korn their favourite ''heavy'' metal bands.

All you have done is come in here and bash music preferences

Oh, remind me to send him a bunch of pencils and a tin cup. I said korn sucked, and that's that. There's no reason for you guys to be such babies.

I don't bash people for liking A or B music. I bash certain subgenres that show nothing but repetitivity, weak vocals and bad instrumental work.

If you like Backstreet boys

Well, I'm not really a fan of them but they at least have enough talent to make ''that'' kind of music.

Wether I like ''to sound superior'' or not is your interpretation. I'll take it as a white flag, though.

Its all about preferences and there all different, its just something you deal with, no matter how much it disgusts you.

Yup. I think Korn sucks. You're just going to have to deal with that.

In my own little mind I like to seperate Hip Hop and Rap, Hip Hop being the sort of BLING BLING shiny ass rubbish with the occasional woman's orgasm thrown in, top of MTV playlist everyday bull-shite and Rap as some black guy with talent, rapping about SOMETHING over a beat.
Now, this segregation is incorrect but he helps me remember that dispite all the utter bullshit mainstream stuff, Rap still has SOME credability.

Oh, and seeing that on the rate the band above you topic I'm probably NEVER going to get a band I know to comment on, I'll reply to the Led Zeppelin comments here.

Strickly speaking Led Zeppelin WEREN'T a Metal band...but some of their stuff falls into the hazy catagory of metal, and seeing that they were masters of those particular songs...well hey, I needed SOMEWAY to plug Zeppelin into that thread. Your reply was funny though...

Jimmy Page gettting 8.5 out of ten. Now I won't say anything about people's opinions on music or ANYTHING...but SOMEBODY has to agree with me that thats quite silly.

5 out of ten for vocals is funny too, but perhaps Robert Plant is an aquired taste *shrug*

Oh and to get things clear I am NOT a massive Zep fan, I just wanted to pick something that wouldn't be ripped apart by rabid Metal fans. If I had mentioned my FAVOURATE artists, like Muse or David Bowie..I would have been in for a real butchering.
Okay, Okay there. Now i never said that you said hip-hoppers have no talent I just said I think they do, but its not for me.

As for the comments on my rating for Led Zeppelin. Okay, one thing I probably will never do is rate something 10/10, which is perfect and considering Led Zeppelin is pretty good, 8.5 is pretty damn good rating if you ask me. Im not into the kind of guitar and bass played, Im more into the heavy stuff, remember its all opinion, and in my opinion the guitar is good, but its not the kind of guitar playin I love.

And yes Im not a fan of Robert Plant's vocals, remember, opinion. AGain its not the kind of vocal work I like so I gave it a 5/10.

You rated Metallica 6/10...I would like to see what you would rate them on the criteria, IMO they have the best vocals right now and back then. I just prefer Hetfield over Plant, much because Plant is mellow compared to Hetfield, and I like heavy vocals more.

Like you said, in the end its all about musical preference

You're saying it right there! You don't like the genres because talent is not involved. And good metal bands HAVE gotten global recognition.

And I'm not insulting your taste. I'm just sharing my opinion on the bands you listed.

And don't go and insult a band you seem to have never heard of. Are you SURE you mean Muse when your talking of boring bands? Muse are an extremely loud power driven Three-piece band, you can call them all sorts of things but boring just ain't one of them. Oh yeah. They're boring. Iron Maiden is boring. Slipknot is boring. It has nothing to do with loudness. Music of every genre can be boring... even grindcore can be boring.

Edit:

I bet my underwear that gothboy here likes Cradle of Filth.
