80's hair metal... - Page 3

**Barkworm** · 08-28-2003, 12:31 AM

I think it was ridiculous to compare them because their music is way differrent from each other.
BTW I love Metallica!

*Dr. Doom* · 08-28-2003, 12:34 AM

I could tell.

In high school I listened to Bon Jovi, Metallica, Offspring, and Guns N Roses almost equally, and almost nothing else. I had like a million CDs I listened to but nowhere near as much. That stuff all felt very powerful and personal to me back then.

Only someone from f*cking New Jersey would say Bon Jovi had a powerful message. Yeah, yeah... "Raise Your Hands", that sounds about right...

*That Matt Guy* · 08-28-2003, 05:14 AM

70s rock is so much cooler.

Haha, that song is pretty good too.

Who here remembers gettin' the "Slippery When Wet" album at a young age and keeping the beginning part of "Social Disease" with the volume down to low or even mute so their parents wouldn't think they were perverted or something?

*raises hand, from New York to Tokyo*

**HorseTechie** · 08-29-2003, 12:32 PM

Now this all has me wondering... just what is it that defines "heavy metal" rock music then, especially if what we think is hair band music, is not.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-29-2003, 03:22 PM

It varies from person to person

1) Hang the Beatles

2) Lynrd Skynrd

*Dr. Doom* · 08-29-2003, 04:06 PM

Hang the Beatles?!

Well, that's it. Any once or respect I might've ever had for you just ceased to exist.

I'm sorry, am I breaking some unwritten law by not liking them?

*Dr. Doom* · 08-29-2003, 04:20 PM

Well ****, you can have your opinion, but you shouldn'ta put it that way if you didn't expect some recoil there, slappy.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-29-2003, 05:16 PM

Actually Rez, I can say from experience that by saying the Beatles were anything less than Godlike, you are indeed breaking some unwritten law shared amongst damn near everyone who ever lived.

And guess what?

I THINK THE BEATLES SUCK TOO.

Seriously, it's like they're the ONE band that NOBODY is supposed to criticize... well, screw that, except for one or two songs nothing they ever did ever moved or spoke to me in any way. "She loves you, yeah yeah yeah..." or "I wanna hold your hand".... Nope, sorry, does nothing for me. "Cars are crashin' every night / I drink and drive, everything's in sight / I make the fire but I miss the firefight / I hit the bullseye every time"...... that stuff actually means something to me.

Plus I automatically hate every band whose audience is or ever was mostly female.

Other bands/singers I don't like, just to get it out of the way before anyone asks:

Grateful Dead
Hall and Oates
Linkin Park
Backstreet Boys
N Sync
The Eagles
Eminem
50 Cent
D12
just about any rap/hip hop/RnB performers since 1991 except Naughty By Nature

There's a bunch more, I just can't think of them now. I probably hate the Dead more than any group who ever lived, though, and Eminem is like right below that.

Can somebody say "paradox"?

Some of those I can understand whole-heartedly, but Grateful Dead, Linkin Park, and The Eagles? You might as well say sh*t tastes better than chocolate if you think that

Uhhh, actually, I'd just like to know your reasons, simple as they may be. Nothing more

I'm not here to preach anything, and if I were, I sure as hell wouldn't be talking to Leo as civily as I am right now

~~Leo656~~ · 08-29-2003, 08:23 PM

The Grateful Dead I despise because for one, I have been forced to hear them every day since birth, and I never liked them much to start with. For two, they just lack anything resembling talent. I mean, I know that dirty hippies getting together and getting so completely obliterated on drugs that they can't even remember what song they were playing from one minute to the next was all part of the times, but I thankfully missed that whole time and I have no desire to hear the off-key, out-of-tune caterwauling of the Grateful Dead ever again.

Linkin Park just annoy me to death because a lot of their stuff just sounds too similar, and all their "angst" just seems like more MTV pre-packaged nonsense. When I see them, I imagine a group of old, fat record execs going "Hmm, we should make a group like the Backstreet Boys, and they'll be good-looking but DARK and ANGRY". It may not have actually happened that way, but I can't see or hear them without thinking that.

And The Eagles I don't *hate*, they just never impressed me. I mean, I never thought "Hotel California" was *that* good a song, and yet every day, it's on the radio SOMEwhere...

And before anyone asks, it should be pretty obvious to most people why I hate Eminem.

*That Matt Guy* · 08-29-2003, 08:34 PM

Styx beats the crap out of all of these bands.

um ok, but i grew up with the beatles all my life. its worthless to fight about which band is better or whatever, but yes the beatles are not godlike, but music wise yes, well nirvana wouldnt be the same with out them.
and many other bands, the beatles started many new things, and durning there time, and what I believe still are the best.

but rez saying the beatles should be hung is a huge insult not only to me but any one that likes the beatles.
considering john was killed by some one that thought he was "john lennon"
and george died of if I remeber right heart problems, or cancer.
so rez you can see how its a insult(hope you do) I cant think how to word must of what im saying. so I hope that made some sort of sence?

~~Leo656~~ · 08-29-2003, 08:55 PM

Well, I don't go so far as to wish death on people, but I do think the Beatles suck.

As for Eminem, I wouldn't mind killing him but I wouldn't really wish death on him otherwise.
