[White Man]

Limp Bizkit and Staind

i.e. The people you'll be heralding as musical geniuses next week?

EBW/white man - you ain't gonna change anyone's opinions of a band just by bagging them and suggesting some unrelated alternatives

When did I ever suggest an alternative? I'm pretty certain nobody here would be interested in most of the stuff I listen to. I just do the bagging part of the equation.

 

[Sullichin]

Two things I don't understand about this thread:

1. Why did anyone bring up Radiohead? Yeah, they're great, why are we talking about how many albums they've sold? :lol

2. How can anyone possibly think that albums like The Downward Spiral and The Fragile are similar to any rock music of the 90s? Are you fucking retarded or something? Seriously.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

how the fuck did radiohead manage to pollute this thread?

Anyways back on topic the one problem i have had with both billy and trent is that sometimes their songs sound a bit overproduced and lose the rawness.

 

[Diablos]

Ween, The Wrens, Hot Snakes. You could probably take my top 10.

To say that Radiohead isn't "mainstream" is pretty much ludicrous.

Read julls' post, ok? No need to explain it again.

Just because Radiohead is more popular than Ween, The Wrens and Hot Snakes does not mean they are god's gift to rock music.

i'm not sure actually - i think it was diablos, strangely.. or maybe enjoy bell woods, somehow he pushed mercury rev into the discussion, after it had already been pushed into being about billy corgan (again)

Come on, White Man. :rolleyes

bell woods is the firestarter.

I like some of the Downward Spiral. It's as bloated as a 300 lb corpse floating down a sewer flooded by crisco, but there's maybe a half hour of good material there.

I'm not saying he's not a competent studio engineer, I'm saying that he's not a studio genius.

 

[Diablos]

Take it to Pitchfork.

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Come on, White Man. :rolleyes

That was my favorite CD when I was in sixth grade.

That's something Trent wanted to be different on With Teeth.

Shit, man, even Pitchfork gave TDS an 8 :lol

 

[Diablos]

hahahaha

NO SOUP FOR WHITE MAN

edit: I didn't push this into being about el Corgano. In fact, I said a somewhat degrading thing about the Pumpkins - their shows weren't always that consistant in terms of rocking the fuck out or being sloppy.

i was referring to both of you
what do you listen to anyway? just out of curiosity.

 

[Gantz]

NIN is one of my favorite bands of all times but he has gone weaksauce after The Downward Sprial.

 

[Diablos]

I am afraid to reveal my bands to TEH COUNCIL, they may not APPROVE!

AND THEN I'LL FALL VICTIM TO 10 PAGES OF DIABLOS BASHING!

This grows BORING.

How about this, Diablos: You, julls, and Sullichin vs me, EBW, and Lambtron at basketball.

At least you're not an Apple or Nintendo fanboy. You could be much worse than you currently are.

Xiu Xiu? Sitting through that album was a painful experience.

[Lambtron]

U2? :|

C'mon, man. I can almost sorta accept "SOAD," but U2?

Hint: I will pick something that nobody will enjoy.

But I love Merzbow.

 

[Diablos]

What's wrong with old U2? I think they're great. Corgan said they ripped off Echo and the Bunnymen. Is this true? I've never heard the band. Either way, I <3 U2.

[Dead]

How can YOU not have heard Echo & the Bunnymen :|

 

[White Man]

But I love Merzbow.

Ohhhh, you! <3 <3 <3

Also, multiple people in the car would enjoy Xiu Xiu, so that's out.

Hmmm, I DO have these Yoko Ono solo albums I picked up cheap. I'd be willing to burn these and inflict them on people.

i have approximate infinite universe.. it's.. interesting :|

 

[Lambtron]

What's wrong with old U2?

U2. Bono. If I put a contact mic on my ass and recorded myself shitting after eating Chinese buffet, I would put out a better album than anything U2 could ever hope to record.

Ohhhh, you! <3 <3 <3

Yeah, well. I rule. Do yr worst. Nothing can compare to having to sit through 45 minutes of Dashboard Confessional opening for Beck while being serenaded by a bunch of jocks screaming along with the lyrics.

 

[Diablos]

Xiu Xiu just freaks me the fuck out. I don't know.

did beck wear a spangly leisure suit? *shimmy*

edit : list fixed

 

[Lambtron]

Jamie would probably give you a handjob if you asked nicely, does that sway you to listen to more?

 

[White Man]

Xiu Xiu just freaks me the fuck out. I don't know.

Jamie Stewart is the nicest, most approachable guy ever. You'd never know that someone that wrote the lyrics H-I-V A-I-D-S I CAN NOT WAIT TO DIE CAN'T YOU TELL CAN'T YOU TELL CAN'T YOU TELL is a nice guy. I'd let him fuck my daughter.

EDIT: One of the stories from his book: When he was in IBOPA, major labels were lightly courting the band, although they were turned off by the direction of the band's lyrics. Jamie Stewart felt legitimately bad about having to say he wouldn't change his lyrics to one A&R flunky, so he offered to give him a blowjob. And in the end, Jamie ends up giving him a blowjob with his teeth knocked out, and later Jamie's girlfriend calls while he's having sex with the A&R dude.

 

[Diablos]

WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT THE PUMPKINS IN YOUR LIST Y)_SEUIOFSFPLSJKFSL:KJFLKSUFLKJS:FLKJ:SLJK:FSFJ

Yeah, well, Jamie Stewart is weird.

You don't have a daughter. :lol :lol

 

[enjoy bell woods]

They didn't. Listen to Echo and the Bunnymen. They're the fucking best.

 

[Diablos]

Haha, you only say that because Corgan said they did. :lol

 

[Eminem]

i didn't know you liked SOAD, diablos. rock on.

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Haha, you only say that because Corgan said they did. :lol

Seriously. All things aside, listen to them. They rul.e.

 

[Diablos]

Their music is such a rush, I love it.

I can't listen to anything else afterwards, 'cause it's so fucking fast and intense.

 

[Eminem]

what'd you think of Mezmerize?

U2 has a nice set of influences, but their music is crud. Brian Eno's greatest achievement is making that malarkey palpable.

Earnest vocal delivery and a cheesey, Steinman-style orchestral sweep does not make for good music. A pity that the Edge's talent is wasted with a bonehead like Bono.

Where's Bono's Mark David Chapman, America?

EDIT: Wait, were you talking about SOAD? They're not bad. U2 still sucks.

i'm sure his intentions are good - but bono acts like a fucking messiah. i can't stand to watch him
