The Official Rage Against The Machine thread (career, solo, band)

**boo boo** · 05-07-2008, 06:28 PM

Lyrics are not a make a break for me, if I like a bands lyrics (and in this case I do like RATMs lyrics but I wont defend it as being anything special) then thats great, that makes me like the band a little more.

But if the lyrics are bad and the music is still great then I could care less. I love Van Halen and Guns N Roses and I think thats all that needs to be said.

Though as a proggie I also love ELP. A band who has written lyrics such as "Can you believe, God makes you breathe.
Why did he lose six million Jews."

Once. I'm too lazy to change my signature constantly every couple of hours.

you assume far too much based on my dislike for RATM and my poor opinion on tom morello.

hendrix on an acoustic still sounds like hendrix. morello without pedals doesn't sound like morello.

you going to make any more assumptions about my tastes based on this comment? continue to ignore how i base my opinions on your boy morello so you can keep crapping on my character?

right. but when you take an acoustic based audioslave song then drop a distorted RATM riff for the bridge in order to stick in a trademark morello solo does it still sound like a natural fit?

Well for one, you're continually arguing with a RATM fan on a thread for RATM fans. I think based on that, I can probably assume that you have some kinda problem.

You also cast the first stone by calling me an idiot.

i'm just bored

i called you an idiot based on your smart ass response to my comment about pop music being something created for a specific teenage demographic. i figured one smart ass comment deserved another one. your 'proof' by showing how music has been marketed in north america over the last 50 years definitely accounts for 90% of the music in existence today...

Have you ever stopped to think about the meaning of the word hyperbole?

I see your point... in the end it's all a matter of taste.
