I envy you, more than you shall ever know Pingfah. I didn't know that Weiland was kicked out of Velvet Revolver. Without him providing the sole musical talent, Slash n' the Rosetards can finally fade into fail. I initially thought that Weiland was terrible in VR because he quit drugs (turns out THAT was wrong.) In reality, he just needed to quit headlining a shitty band.
But it was a pretty solid album (one album wonder bands are OK. I honestly don't think Live can be blamed for what followed as much as Creed, which was inspired as much by Hetfield as Pearl Jam). I've decided (since we can't ban outright shitty bans) that I wouldn't erase anyone. As much as I hate hair bands, they became so oversaturated that there was a backlash and other bands that were inspired by good 80s music could actually get mainstream attention.
OMG! A Crash sighting?! And I missed it?! The world is cruel, and full of shitty bands, apparently. I blame this on Pingfah because I can.
1. Linkin Park - Music ruined by a bunch of rapper posers I knew back in High School. 2. Limp Bizkit - No explanation is necessary. 3. Def Leppard - Reminds me of a obnoxious boyish girl I knew back in College. Plus their songs are about how much love hurts. Get over it! 4. Evanescence - fuck angst. 5. Chemical Romance - see #4.
Kaiser Chiefs - not important Coldplay - so boring and up their own arses Mark Ronson - lets take a Zutons song and ruin it Robbie Williams - vapid James Blunt - is a
I agree about Limp Bizkit - at least after their Significant Other days - but Korn, Linkin Park and System of a Down? What did they ever do to you? At least they aren't polluting the airwaves constantly, unlike some other bands. Oh, and if I was allowed to erase a sixth band, I'd pick AC/DC. Just recycle the same crappy guitar riff and complement it with the same crap yelled vocals, and hey presto, it's a hit for over 30 years! I like to call it music for the moronic masses, so at least on some level AC/DC have to be geniuses to have hit the music jackpot.
Some people are just aren't ready for songs about pogo stick orgies, the American prison system, sad statues and fucking the system! And are you seriously saying Linkin Park don't pollute the airwaves where you live? I envy you my friend. Although I suppose since Nickelcack and Kid Twat released their respective cringe-fests LP haven't been on too much. Double-edged sword that.
