I know, that moron is like some snooty New York film critic ripping all over "piffle in the theatres today, which reminds of a decade past, when all I've been waiting for is the grand return to the mid-80s style -- which brought us such classics as Police Academy 4, and Short Circuit."
Oh, so you put Nirvana and Pearl Jam right up there at the same level as Led Zeppelin, GNR, Iron Maiden, & Black Sabbath? Dont be ridiculous. Do you deny that most second tier hair metal bands of the 80s had better musical chops than most of the popular grunge bands? Anyone with ears can tell that. Oh, I guess bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana could play well if they tried right? But frayed chords and sloppy guitar playing sounds so much better right? Get a clue.
Yeah, I'm sure the vast majority of people, when looking back 40 years from now, will believe that Cinderella is better than Nirvana or Ratt is better than Pearl Jam. You know, if you're going to have a shtick, you're going to have to do a lot better than this. It's really embarassing.
Dude, I can't flippin' STAND Nirvana, and spin a Sabbath/Zep disc 112 times before I spin a Pearl Jam one, and I like PJ. Don't try to pass this off as a "chops" argument. If you REALLY were into chops you'd be deep into a Winton Kelly vs. Red Garland argument. If you really want to get into a talk about chops and nuance and taste, I'm ready to hear what you have to stay. You'll have to leave the two-handed tappers at home, though, those are what we call "annoying wankers." You're still pissed off that you had to hear "Heart Shaped Box" a trillion times in the 90s, can't stand the fact that people actually liked that stuff without payola being involved, and wish everyone would just quit whinin', have some fun, tease the hair, and bust out the pink Kramer guitars with one pickup. And when you really want to mellow out and make it serious, you bust out some Creed ...
yeah, dave grohl is a hack. you suck at life. on a lighter note, Wolfmother f*cking rocks! ps - who wants to bet that ace still wears a denim jacket?
dont forget silent night deadly night 1-4 GARBAGE DAY!!! oh and i'll see RM95's Winger and raise you Accept's Balls to the Wall.
depends on what you consider hair bands. some ppl consider all bands from the 80s that had long hair as hair bands when nothing could be further than the truth. and...he is right to a certain extent...grunge did suck much worse than the style of music it replaced. and yes...I freely admit that I spend what little radio time I spend that isnt Sirius on classic rock radio.
which bands are to be considered? i'd list: whitesnake scorpions def leppard mötley crüe while i wouldn't count queensrÿche or judas priest and obviously not metallica, megadeth, iron maiden, or slayer
