AHAHAHAHA! your forgot to mention he does so while perched upon his high horse!Westy said:No, SS is just too busy on the internet telling people that the things they do/like suck.
narlus said:
Agreed, at least i didnt buy that one, i just bootlegged it. Too slow and droning... maybe good music to fall asleep to, but not the most energetic effort.

Everything Snoop has put out in the last several years has sucked ass.
i saw those guys open for Thee Headcoats and they were pretty OK. any band which names themselves after the two Can vocalists has at least that going for them.ROCKLAND said:
am curious as to what people think of the following bands:
Ash
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Spiritualized
I dont buy bad CD's... i usually know exactly what i want, and have listened to it as a sample or something.
BUT, ive borrowed some pretty crappy stuff recently.
Black Label Society..... just about cleaned my hard drive of that crap.
Metallic St Anger...... I know its old now, but i never had the desire to get, and when i did finally borrow, it was deleted within hours.
Avenged Seven Fold.... heard some good stuff on a sampler, borrowed a new cd, and disliked. Guess the singer destroyed his voice so he sings now... instead of screams...

I've Ash - 1977. It's o.k. Very power-pop. I had a roommate several years ago from England and they played his school (UEA) every year.narlus said:
i love that tune "Kung Fu". the reference to a teenaged lobotomy is great!
I can't stand this band. This stuff is metal/hardcore for kids. Hot topic crowd. Metal should be dangerous not cute and cuddly.oly said:
Ash - Don't knownarlus said:
BRMC - Yes, at least what I've heard, but very much. I always forget about these guys, I need to get one or two of their albums
Spiritualized - A big Yes, especially the album "Ladies and Gentlemen, We are Floating in Space"
I've been buying up CD's recently, and there are two that fell short of what I'd hoped:
Fu Manchu - Start the Machine, I was in the mood for some straight ahead stoner rock, but it's just too straight ahead and uninteresting
Refused - The EP Collection, I LOVE Refused, but there are only a couple tracks on this that I've never heard and I actually like.
Also, I bought the new Reverend Horton Heat and Social Distortion albums a while ago (two bands that seldom disappoint me) and I'm pretty disappointed with both of them, especially the new Social D. Sorry, Mike.
The good ones recently:
International Noise Conspiracy - Survival Sickness, former Refused singer, I like these guys
Emmanuel - Soundtrack to a Headrush, I wasn't sure if I'd get into this album, but I bought it on the strength of "The Willing" and I really like it. I guess it's Emo, but they keep the rock in it pretty well.
Von Bondies - Rare and Raw, I love these guys.
Gomez - Out West, I'm down with Gomez, good live recording.
Hijack Over.
Probably anything that i took a chance on and that Narlus would like... :eviltongu
wow i cant fathom thinking like that, there is sooooooooooooo much good stuff out, its just that none of it is played on the radio, you gotta get underground a bit...man i dont know what id do without some of the new stuff...Kornphlake said:
Right, there was alot of good stuff that came out of the 70's but most people don't know anything about it, they just remember the mainstream "disco and cheese." In 20 years my kids will only know about Linkin Park, Nsync, American Idol stars, maybe some other crap music that I can't stand to listen to long enough to even figure out who sings it. If that's what the media is keeping alive now, they'll continue to keep it alive for the next 20 years. Again my kids will think that the last decade was noting but bands like Green Day, 311, Bare Naked Ladies, Hootie and the Blowfish, No Doubt... I imagine there will be those who still like these kinds of bands in 20 years, just as there are those who still like the Eagles, Steve Miller Band, Bob Marley and Elton John today. The majority will think today's music is all "Boybands and cheese" 20 years from now though.narlus said:
Whenever the local stations claim they're playing something that they last heared on college radio, that's an automatic cue to change the station. I don't like unpolished music, I don't like screaming, I don't like guitar solos that sound like somebody raking a fork across the strings with the distortion pedal maxxed out and I don't like lyrics that make a feeble attempt at poetry or irony or whatever and come across as being babble. I guess that makes me sound like a country western fan, but I'm not. I just don't "get" alot of the obscure stuff. In the case of a magazine or website, even college radio to an extent it's still media telling you what's good music and what you should like.
Maybe my perspective is warped because I pretty much quit listening to music when I graduated highschool 8 years ago, I never got into the type of music the radio stations were playing in Utah (mostly hip hop and Top 10,) where I went to college, and there wasn't a college radio station. By the time I moved back to california I was pretty disgusted with radio all together, add to that the general lack of taste most of the San Diego DJ's have and you see my predicament.
When almost all radio stations are owned by just a few corporations do you think that DJ actually get to select the music? I thought programming managers started taking over the industry back in the late 70's.Kornphlake said:
One that I bought sort of recently that positively made me angry it was so bad was Superjoint Ritual. What do you get when you throw Phil Anselmo and his bandmates/heroin buddies (allegedly) into a studio together? One of the worst metal records ever. Bad songwriting, bad vocals, bad production, etc. The worst part is they probably think it's the best work they've ever done.narlus said:
HAHA..... Ive never thought of that record that way, but yea..... pretty good description.... i still like to crank it on the freeway, but its probably one that gets put on the bottom the CD rack,...kinda like System Of A Down......Lex said:
Fair enough, at least 10 years ago I at least somewhat agreed with the exec's tastes in music.Westy said:
