:D that makes you wonder how all of them "Indians" got to the Americas..
My sister theorizes that India was once a part of the Americas but broke away.

:o Remember kids, it's Native American,
Not Indian. :D (does a little indian dance)

Yeah, I can see it now;

Razi-"C'mon BITCH!"
McBean-"Er, um...look Razi! Lights!"
Razi-"Eeee!!! Colours!"
*dancing ensues as glow-sticks emerge from his pockets*
*McBean nails Razi over the head with a blackjack*

Or you could play Ben Folds Five and make me go deaf!

...dude I was talking about Creed and Nickleback.

Wiebe · Post by **Wiebe** » Sat Nov 02, 2002 10:54 pm

Oh, there's still some difference between Creed and Nickelback... But there's this other new band... I don't really care what they're called... Sound a hell of a lot like Nickelback.

I really hate to see rock go in this direction. Right when I think it's making some sort of comeback it goes back to some crappy manufactured pop $|-|1+ we've had to put up with for the last 5 - 10 years...

The members of Nickelback wear cowboy hats/boots and still call themselves rock... *shiver* While we're talking about artists *up there* that should die, might I suggest Sum41? Avril Lavigne? Nelly Furtado?

Face it, people. Rock 'n' roll is dead. Exhausted. Over with. We're going to be in a sort of musical "dark ages" for a while until someone discovers the next big thing.

I don't know what it'll sound like, but I suggest that we name it "poodle-doo".

Smoot · Post by **Smoot** » Sun Nov 03, 2002 5:12 am

it's not so much as dead, but "alternative" is now mainstream and so the people who were alternative are now needing an alternative to the alternative.

i just live in my nice little world with old cds, and ignore the music industry. and will continue to do so until the day when repeating-the-same-words-over-and-over-and-OVER-and-pretending-it's-a-song shit is well and truly dead.

even triple j (a national australian radio station that doesn't generally play commercial music. i remember when hanson where big and they absolutely refused to play then, and got so sick of ppl calling in and asking them to play it that they announced several times that they would, under no circumstances, play them) isn't as good as it used to be. *cries*

Sortelli · Post by **Sortelli** » Sun Nov 03, 2002 5:41 am

S'funny... I was just wincing through that godawful City of Angels single with that screaming drunk honkey chick and thinking to myself that Rock is Dead. I am loath to admit it, but the best it can be described as right now is comatose.

We got Pussy Rock, bands like Weezer (who I actually like) that would probably get killed in a streetfight with anyone from Mother Teresa on up, and is sadly the best of the lot considering that these guys give me the impression that they couldn't take on a blade of grass even if they caught it by surprise and had Jon Bon Jovi to hold it down. (Y'see, Jon's been wrangling with that damn blade of grass for years and it still kicks his ass every time)

We got Whiney Bitchy Ass Pussy Dumbfuck Teenage Angst Bullcrap I Hate It So Much Rock: Papa Roach, Staind, Lincon Park, nuff said.

In comparison, there is Shiny Happy Positive Rock, like POD, which makes the above music seem suddenly attractive. "I... feel so alive!" No wonder people put up with the goddamn whining.

We got Incubus, which isn't even rock at all. Incubus is like... Not Rock. I could put a baby to sleep with Incubus. Everytime I listen to a song by Incubus, I feel my testosterone levels drop dangerously. "It's so much easier when everyone is in, are you in?" These guys are getting to be like scary Hare Krishas, luring us into their evil cults and encouraging us all to castrate ourselves with their bizarre soothing elevator music that sounds like it has the potential to rock but never, ever actually gets there. Throw 311 on that pile too, because "Amber" isn't "the color of your energy", it is "the color of why we suck so bad". And Hoobastank too. This is Limp Wristed Rock.

We got Rage Against The Machine, which is a good band name because every time I hear them I am filled with rage and a desire to break their guitars before the show instead of after so they can't play and have to shut up for a goddamn second and stop shoving their pretense down my throat. The Machine I Rage Against is the bizarre notion of "protest rock" and the labels who profit from it.

On that note... Memo to Eddie Vedder: I stopped listening to Pearl Jam because you pricks kept sending me political propoganda with my concert tickets. Scalped the tickets and had a good time with the money. No one listens to music because of the political beliefs of the artists regarding the cause du jour, you moron.

And then we have the new "Saviors of Rock..." the Vines. The front man needs to be taken to the vet and euthanised because his brain isn't functioning. Greasy frizzy haired half-lidded idiots, their shouting incoherent garage music is much, much better than the above alternatives, which just says how Dead Rock Is. I'm getting sick of having to constantly get up to shut off the radio because of all the crap it pumps into my ears between the stuff I want to hear.

Thas righ' this is th' shitty... th' shitty of anguls andalliseeisglavenglavenglaven aaaa-aaaa-aaa *for a second the band harmonizes, and then the song degenerates into more mindless drunk trailer trash slurring*

Sorry about that. If anyone actually read through this rant, I will award you an award.

i read through most of it, till i got to the vines.
does that count?
i want an award!

wow! thanks! bold text!

now i know i'm special.

Odd1 · Post by **Odd1** » Sun Nov 03, 2002 11:48 am

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just yours is wrong, Sortelli

It's hard to take sides here though, since I apparantly listen to "Whiney Bitchy Ass Pussy Dumbfuck Teenage Angst Bullcrap I Hate It So Much Rock" and "Limp Wristed Rock"... but equally like Stone Sour, Tool, KoRn, Meshuggah, Slipknot, etc. Not to forget SOAD, which falls under "protest rock" i suppose?

How very dull the world would be if everyone liked the same music.

Tyndal · Post by **Tyndal** » Sun Nov 03, 2002 12:26 pm

Yeh, If everyone liked the same music, how could I listen to alternative? It... wouldn't be...

Seeing as 'alternative' is mainstream, its not really 'the alternative' anymore, is it?

KODAMA · Post by **KODAMA** » Sun Nov 03, 2002 1:21 pm

:D Everyone should listen to the music I make... haha

I don't know anything about music, 'cept what I like, and I'm not going to post that here lest I be flamed.

Except, I will say that I like E-type, Don Henly, some U2 songs, and some Bruce Springsteen songs. Blah de blah.

And Sortelli, I also read your whole post, though it felt to me like reading a technical manual or a math book (as I couldn't understand it), so I insist on a "bold award" as well.
