now that I think about the lyrics it makes sense.

about the 70's bands playing 20 minute songs... I remember as an act of boredom one of the bands I was in back in the 90's decided to play Smoke on the water for 2 hours in our practice room. It went from a joke to a competition to see who would stop first... ahh, the days of free time and no bills to pay

looking back though, it was a nice form of male bonding I guess.

40 : Top Pop Hits Of The Time Being Played Over Film Footage From Those Years

If your going to show a piece of film from say 1973/74 just say it's from then , I will believe you y'know . You really don't need to play Tiger fucking Feet by Mud over it to emphasis the point.

Haha post-grunge is always referred to as "butt-rock" or "dude-core" when getting negative reviews, I love it.

And "grunge" wasnt so much a musical genre as an aesthetic, alot of those bands sounded NOTHING like Nirvana, the original "grunge" band. Urbans completely right, all it did was**** over the indie labels in the end, and make millions of 15-something pseudo music fans think they were listening to an 'alternative' to the mainstream, when they were really being forcefed corporate mainsteam rock the whole time.

But I still like Nirvana and that 3rd Pearl Jam album.

They played Ace Of Spades when I went to see them

Oh I don't doubt it still happens now. But I think as far as mainstream rock goes it'll never be as bad as it was in the 70s.

I mean could you imagine someone like The Killers or My Chemical Romance making one of their songs last half an hour.

Urgh

A perfect setlist should have 1 third new stuff , 1 third classics and 1 third of fan favourites that alternate on a regular basis.
