I was merely mocking how people claim that SLTS is a ripoff of at least a thousand different songs.

Truth is many of these bands use the same generic chord progression, but none of them are exactly the same. SLTS may be a generic riff, but its not stolen directly by any song.

You can name drop any song you want, More Than A Feeling, Debaser, Godzilla, Louie Louie, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. I've heard them all.

I go to the gym and work out three times a week so that sometimes when im drunk enough I can knock at least three teeth out of the face of any pretentious suit-coat-over-t-shirt jackass who starts sentences with "well actually they stole that idea from..." or any variation there of. Then I recite my favorite lines from Paradise Lost, just to throw that in their faces. And I look them right in the eye and say "you're a soulless hipster who steals everything from someone else." If I make it to this point, then im promptly throw out.

Lets get serious fellas, do we really need to have a "who stole what from whom" conversation every time some great band in mentioned somewhere? We know you don't like Nirvana/Zeppelin because its cool to do that. We also don't care, go posture in front of someone 5 years younger who doesn't know you're not a revolutionary prophet.

how many of you heard SLTS and thought "whoa, since when did BTO write new music...with passion this time?" none of you did, and no one else did either. no ones ripping anything off expect this weak ass argument that i've had to endure a thousand friggen times over since the strokes decided to ruin my life by making an album. Jesus....

To you and the 8 other people who got their spam deleted, do you realize that we don't think you're intelligent or above anyone for hating popular things?

And if you "really do hate Kurt", then why post. Its getting old.

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN 08-02-2007 05:38 PM

I don't hate Kurt Cobain. I just found it amusing that he "misses him and finds it hard to go on without him" when he probably didn't even know him.

boo boo 08-02-2007 05:49 PM

Well its like Elvis and John Lennon, even people who didn't know them personally were deeply affected by their loss, thats just how much their music meant to people.

Yeah, I just compared Kurt Cobain to Elvis and John Lennon. Deal with it.
