And how do you assume they know nothing about the band?

And how do you assume they do? Jamie Pressley knows alot about KISS? Godsmack knows about Judas Priest?


Quote:
Thats because Kurt actually had interesting things to say.
Proves my point, that you'd have been upset if they cut him off.

Quote:
Gene is just an arrogant jerk who talks about how much he loves money and how much he "earned it" and how music should only be about partying and having a good time and blah blah blah.
Whats wrong with any of it? If you had his bank account, you'd agree?



Quote:
That dosen't warrant calling these bands non-credible.
It doesnt warrant calling them credible, so I guess we're even.



Quote:
Thats what I said.
We agree on something? stupendous.



Quote:
Yeah and that dosen't apply to any of those bands.
Maybe not, who knows?



Quote:
Well that was Godsmack, and they're horrible.
WOW, we actually agreed on 2 things, thats amazing.



Quote:
Whats wrong with being prolific? It worked for Zappa.
And what happened to him?



Quote:
Ouch.

I've always hated that Incubus are lumped into the nu metal crowd. Nu metal has always been either about "Hey we're macho and can totally kick your ass" like Limp Bizkit or "woe is me my life sucks" like Linkin Park. Incubus took the exact opposite approach. Unlike any of those bands you mentioned they are actually very talented musicians and they're only lumped into the nu metal category because they have a DJ and used to sport dreadlocks.
Hey, this fits Nirvana to a tee. It was ALWAYS Kurt saying "I hate our success", but yet, he didnt seem to mind cashing those checks, and releasing music year after year?

Quote:
Agreed, especially with my last statement.



Quote:
I'm pretty sure not all Nirvana fans are 12 year olds.
Can you say the same for most of these ****ty little "Punk" bands out today? surely you cant tell me anyone credible who'd actually admit to buying a:Good Charlotte, or Sum 41 cd?



Quote:
Well I prefer Nirvana by a whole lot.
I'm glad you do....that's your right.

Quote:
To me KISS were just an average bar band who became superstars because of their stage antics.
I have to say, I agree with you to an extent. I've never claimed them to be the greatest musicians, or the endall beall of bands, Just a good band, who many have stolen show ideas from. Like I said before, just about everyone's: stolen/copied/borrowed something from their stage shows.



Quote:
Then by that reasoning you shouldn't call any successful band crap.
As you shouldnt either? You claim Godsmack is horrible? yet, unlike the two of us, MANY folks apparently do like them?

Lets be honest, alot are, why do you think the labels are in so much trouble? fans finally realized: most of the music today: SUCKS.



Quote:
And you're comparing Flaming Lips, Pearl Jam and Incubus to these?
Im not comparing anyone to anyone, just saying that neither FL , nor PJ are bad bands. Don't assume anything.


Quote:
Where do you live, because if its anywhere in America it's probably some old fogeys who listen to Ram Jam all day and wouldn't know a good modern band if one bit them in the ass.
True to an extent.

I live in Vegas, the land of ****ty: House/techno/hip hop music being played in EVERY CLUB, "ultralounge", or bar, or anywhere else you walk into in LV,.....YUCK!!!!



Quote:
I'm sorry, you said the Foo Fighters were the only good thing about it, that implies to me that you seen it. Obviously you don't even know what you're talking about.
I do know what I'm talking about....just a difference of opinions...I'm sorry it doesnt fit what you think/believe/feel towards the show. Not everyone digs the same bands you do, nor do they w/MY bands, thats fine. I simply voiced my opinion on the show, YOU took offense to it apparently? Don't get yourself into a quandry, or beat yourself up over it, it's not the end of the world.

You liked the show, I didnt watch it, why? b/c i saw all i needed to the first show, to know what it was about, and know I didnt want to watch any more.
