mylife, your pic isn't working. Anyway, you are kidding right? You dont really like Avril do you? Didn't I read that you like DJ Shadow? How can you like DJ Shadow and also like Avril? Do you like Michelle Branch as well?

 

[PoyeBoy]

Okay, I was just kidding aboot da tool thing, it was just a stab, I actually like them, I love the deftones but they need to come out with a new cd

I wasnt kidding aboot ozzy or led zepplin, Ill add the doors and the rolling stones in that batch as well

You should at least respect where all the music you like comes from. Without Ozzy and Led Zep there are no hard rock bands. To say Led Zep or the Doors are "played out" makes you sound like your 15. You are proving what Poink and I are talking about. Do you think bands like Good Charlotte would exist without Green Day? Every gay pop punk has based themselves on Green Day. Do you even know your punk history? How much do you know about reggae? You do know that the old punks used to listen to mainly ska and reggae right? Is this too far in the past for you? Are you one of those kids who is anti classic rock on the basis that its "played out"?

All I can say is I like what I like, everybody has opinions.

Im not saying that the doors or led zep suck at all, im just saying Im sick of hearing them. I dont know how many times I have heard "stairway to heaven" or "come on baby light my fire"

And why should I care about the history of my music? I dont.

I dont know why anyone take the time to find out where the music they listen to came from. Id rather look at porn dude.

All this crap music just shows that punk is deader than disco and has been for 25 years.

If punks back then had thought that kids now would be defining themselves emotionally by identifying with corporate co-opted canned rebellion, and buying said plastic, neutered identity as a product.....Actually come to think of it they did know. At least the Sex Pistols did, that's what the Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle was all about.

well worded.

I'm always entertained by the self-consciously "real" punks I see, who are really making an effort. Americans just don't make good punks. It's always middle-class kids, which isn't very punk. And they're always clean! Even their clothes are clean. 18 years of expensive preventative dentistry kind of counts against you when you decide you're a punk one day. And they do things like go to college! And have jobs! They lack conspicuous substance dependencies - not even glue! The women are just as ugly as their flea-bitten counterparts in London or Berlin though, I'll give them that.

america did/does punk harder, louder, and better... you cant count anything on MTV as punk.

 

[gettinlarger]

I agree with everyone.

Blink sucks. Sum 41 sucks. Avril sucks. Charlotte sucks. Anything ever on MTV with most likely suck.

That's why I stick to bands that nobody knows that get no airplay. Much more talent.

Tool is a good band IMO - Schism may be one of the "tightest" songs i've ever heard, in that the guitar is in sync with his words so well, as well as the drums at many points, i swear if you listen to it w/ headphones it is unreal, the cymbals sound like they were ran through a flanger. You can go all the way back to the start of them and listen to Opiate, and damn, its not like the newer stuff but still its awesome.

BigRedCat... do you really like Disturbed? Man I agree with you on a lot of that, but disturbed, you can't really point fingers at the explosion of pop-punk when disturbed rode the wave in with the likes of godsmack, saliva, soil, the whole heavy-garbage scene that flooded radio stations for a good year or 2. I went to a godsmack show a year and a half ago because 2 buddies really wanted me to go with them, i'm usually open to something i'm not super fond of, if so many people like it, there must be at least something about it i can like right? It sucked. I know you are in a band and stuff, but face it, all this shit is subjective, if your band was on the radio, do you know how many people would go "Man - this TOTALLY sucks." but then there would be some who like it too. not everybody is into your stuff, they haven't approached music from your angle.

I still agree though that tool is a good band.

Truth

My gosh... this thread is getting really fucking retarded... Ozzy is, and always will be, the man of rock and roll.

saying ozzy has more talent than avril lavigne is like saying the raiders are better than the bucs.

ozzy is not famous because of his music. he's a star because of his on stage antics and off stage behavior.

avril is still young. by the time she's ozzys age she'll go down as a bigger icon of rock than any other female and most males, namely ozzy.
