I just heard go with the flow on spotify and i can confirm right now that I still think they suck. The song is a 3 power chord riff that never stops until the song finally ends. There's no different part for the chorus or even a bridge too make the song even a little bit more interesting. If that were just a lesser track on the album maybe it wouldn't be that bad. But the song was the first single off of the album and it even had a music video. If that's the best they can do they obviously ****en suck. That song makes green day's songs seem technical. I've got nothing against Josh Homme personally. I just hate his band and music. I don't think they or their music deserves the attention and praise it gets.

Then you better chuck all your rock and/or roll music in the trash and go listen purely to jazz and classical. Technical ability is irrelevant unless you're trying to make technical music.

Boy, he'd sure hate krautrock, ambient or drone.

The song is supposed to have this constant, driving, forward movement. The music video is a car driving non-stop on a straight line road for a reason. It would be boring if all their songs were like this, but it's the only one and I think it's a really cool song that makes great use of this simple idea.

You're right that constant forward movement is probably the only good thing about the song. That's not enough to keep me interested in it. And anyway I hate the other single they released from that same album as well called No One Knows. I also think that the production quality is pretty flat, they should remix and master it maybe that'd make it a little bit easier to tolerate.

Generally not a fan of the way the album sounds. Kind of cardboard like. I looked it up and was surprised to see that it wasn't produced by Nick Raskulinecz. Sounds like the kind of over compressed, flat production job he tends to do.

I will give this guy a lot of credit, unlike Nick, he actually responds to people rather than running in circles and repeating the same bull****, he doesn't come across as having angry old man syndrome, and has legitimate reasons for disliking the bands.

Keep it up, ni��a. Learn how to paragraph better, and you'll be a fine addition to this forum.

That's why I picked the bands that i brought up because I wanted to mention only bands that have reputations as being great even though they actually suck. If I was gonna mention bands that everybody already knows sucks like Nickelback the list would have gone on for days.

Yeah but you ranted. You didn't present any real arguments, just a string of "I hate this band". Another thing you did is that: every time you changed to another band you hated you started with "another band I hate is.." so it all looked sort of cut-and-paste, and your opinions, while yours to have, didn't really stack up. You need to realise that you may be (and in fact were) trashing bands others here might be fans of. And yeah, the paragraphs thing, dude. Holy ****ing ****. Do you know how hard it is to read one massive block of text? I'm known for my Walls of Text, but even I use page breaks and paragraphs.

Yeah fair play I guess. But it's going to take more than just proper formatting to make the OP one of us. He's going to have to learn to take on board the opinion of others, debate rather than rant, and of course, as we all have done, walk a high wire unaided across two buildings at midnight. Man, I hated doing that, but we all had to do it! :laughing:

Bump this thread 15 years after I’m dead and gone. You all will be bitching about crazy young man syndrome.

But I have to admit growing old does make you crazy. The longer you stay on this planet the crazier you’re going to get.

When I was a kid 2001 was the impossibly modern distant future but now 2018 is like an even ****tier 1975. Tell me that wouldn’t drive you crazy.

PS The White Stripes were one the better Zeppelin tributes.

Saw them twice. Once in a small club and it was great and once on a huge festival stage where it didn’t feel like they had enough presence.

They have a few good songs.

Welcome to MB Nathan!

Unfortunately nobody gets the fact that your OP is an ironic post-modern reference to the format used in Bob Dylan's Tarantula:-

Hey, all I was going to say was that he misheard: we said he had to get drunk off his ass, not ....

@OP: Word to the wise from the not very wise - Never a great idea to make your first post a list of bands you hate. Remember, you're coming into a brand new forum (to you) with people you've never met. You risk alienating and upsetting some of them by pissing on their taste, even if accidentally or unknowingly. This is why we have the introduction thread. Makes much more sense, and eases you in better (shut up, both Batty and Hawk!) if you say who you are, what you LIKE as well as what you don't like, and make a much more balanced post. Coming in like you did just makes you out to be, well, another Nick1976. And believe me, you don't want that.

If people know what you're into, then they may react differently when you say what you don't like. If you're a proghead like me, they'll just stuff you away in some unobtrusive corner and ignore everything you say, knowing you have **** taste and are not worth talking to. If you're into jazz or experimental or drone or whatever, you may make new friends. If you're into indie rock they'll realise you're a twat and so on. Better not to rant, at least not at first, but if you must, then better to know who it is that's ranting so that they can be responded to appropriately.

Most importantly, if you're staying here, be sure you understand that everyone here has different tastes, and though you may hate, say, extreme metal, others may love it. Don't piss people off either through ignorance or arrogance: you only get to do that after you've been here a while. :laughing:

Suck balls. The problem is not that you like prog, the problem is that the prog you like is often bland af. You know full well that many people here dig the genre.

:shycouch:

I could go for that right now.

Here are some more overated but ****ty bands in my opinion.

Avenged Sevenfold are a very accessible metal band that have been around since 1999. They have been around making album after album trying their hardest to make a dent in popular culture and have a successful crossover hard rock/metal album in the charts.They have not succeeded although they were nominated for a grammy this year which they refused to attend because they found out that the grammys weren't televising the best rock album category. Avenged Sevenfold are true metal fans dont get me wrong, those guys are decent fellows but that doesn't mean that they don't ****ing suck. Their first albums were in the metalcore genre and if you listen to it you can clearly hear how ****ing terrible it is. But then they moved on to a more commercial and accessible sound. Their sound of the bands most well known songs like Seize the day, Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country and MIA you could describe as Alternative Rock, Pop, and maybe even hard rock. Despite being influenced by legendary hard rock and metal bands Guns N' Roses and Metallica Avenged Sevenfold's sound is so mediocre and average. They also have a cartoon character vibe about them with their ridiculous names like M. Shadows, Synester Gates and Zacky Vengeance. Their ballad Seize the day was an alternative pop rock track that sounded like it could've been written and performed by Pink. The video was a ridiculous attempt at redoing November Rain. Avenged Sevenfold are a very overrated band in the Metal community. They seem to have such critical acclaim and respect as a metal band even though they've tried so hard their whole careers to be a pop rock band and be mainstream which has never worked. Any album they have done or will do in the future is not even worth checking out. It's below average canned crap.

Tool are a band that started in the early 90's. They are a very overrated band that are incorrectly labeled Alternative Metal and Progressive metal. Their fans talk about Tool as if every work that they've done is absolute genius. I swear to god I've tried to like it but it honestly sucks. It's just badly organized drop d riffs with barely any decent song structure. They aren't even a metal band and I checked on google they're considered one of the best Metal bands of all time. If anything they are Alternative rock and maybe Hard Rock because they have distorted guitars. Another thing is the fact that the band similar to Slipknot seem to be embarrassed to show themselves in music videos or pictures. I don't think they even appear in any music videos. Their music video for Sober is talked about and shown allot on music video tv shows. The only thing I like about Tool is that they seem like down to earth nice guys. I've seen an interview between Lars Ulrich and Maynard James Keenan for the show beats 1 where Maynard really comes off as a really intelligent and articulate man, if only his music were actually good. Just to prove that Maynard sucks musically just listen to his terrible side projects A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. It's downright terrible crap.

Pearl Jam. Well I probably will take some **** for this one but I actually think Pearl Jam are not that bad. Their first album Ten was the only decently good album they ever did and everything after that is just forgettable and not worth listening too. They basically spent their entire career living off of the success of one album. They spent the early part of the 90's trying to live up to Kurt Cobain's expectations of how an anti commercial alternative rock band
should behave even though he made it obvious that he hated them. By stopping doing music videos and boycotting ticketmaster who they accused of charging too much for tickets or something like that. All those things are very honorable but that doesn't make their music good. Just because you have allot of strong values and artistic integrity doesn't mean your music automatically is considered good. It seems that the more rebellious and anti commercial Pearl Jam became the worst their music got. The album Vs in 1993 was their version of an aggressive and heavy grunge rock album. It was full of fast and direct rockers like Go and Animal and boring slow songs like Daughter. The album sold millions of copies even without any music videos. The album to me came off as a forced and failed attempt to make a grungy heavy rock album which Nirvana did with Nevermind. There are no musical highlights in the album whatsoever. It is just totally boring and forgettable. I guarantee you if the album didn't have the name Pearl Jam on it and wasn't released in 1993 it would not have sold anything close to what it sold. Pearl Jam released the album Vitalogy in 1994. The album was released only a year after Vs which obviously meant that the material wasn't very strong. The album contains what became one of the bands most well known songs Better Man which was written solely by Eddie Vedder before he even joined Pearl Jam. The song is the only highlight on what is a terrible, boring and forgettable album. An amazing thing is that the absolutely ****ing terrible song Spin the Black Circle actually won a grammy award, that pretty much sums up how important the Grammy Awards are. Even the production of the album is bad. The album was recorded as if it were a live studio album, like the songs were done live in one take. It seems to have been an artistic statement the band were making just like Nirvana did with In Utero. Now here is when things go downhill. After Vitalogy the bands music became so ****ing amazingly bad and the band themselves started to become more faceless and reclusive. With terrible unheard and ignored albums like No Code, Yield and Binaural the band became just another band that nobody cared about anymore. These albums are so ****ing horrible, the names of the albums, the boring and forgettable songs and the lack of presence as a band. There's not one person who can name one song off these terrible albums, not one song. The albums are so unbelievably bad that to me If I were them I would have just never recorded or released them. All this didn't seem to bother the fans who still liked them because of their first album Ten. I remember in 2006 I saw their studio video in black and white for Worldwide Suicide. The song was pretty bad and the video is just Eddie Vedder sitting down and singing the song. Through all that Pearl Jam have stuck around and are still together and are now remembered as a great rock band something that I do not agree with.

To be continued. More bands will be mentioned in future posts.

All right. So you've learned nothing. Good to know.

Oh, sorry: you've learned to format your ****ty posts properly. That's something I guess.

Sigh.

Still way too much word-to-paragraph ratio. That's still pretty intimidating to read.

Yep. Almost as bad as mine.

And it's all negative. I hate this, I hate that. Jesus.

I hate this thread because we should be hating on the rappers. Together.

Seriously, hating on any group doesn't go down well here. With the possible exception of Nickelback. Most people here like hip-hop, so, you know, as a newbie, watch yo step.

Why hate on rappers? Rap is fun. Let's hate on Nightwish instead. Boring generic crap.

They're very good at playing their instruments, at least, but I've always thought the singer was a bit boring. At least the lead single off their latest album was pretty good. They might become a good band eventually if they keep improving.

I don't care that they have cartoony names, btw. It's metal... Doesn't just about every black metal act consist of a bunch of LOTR nerds with silly names for example? Metal is cartoony in all sorts of ways, more often than not.

I think Tool are allright, but terribly overrated. The first A Perfect Circle album, Mer De Noms, is pretty good imo

Nothing to say in Pearl Jam's defense. They suck.

Ooh I have an idea! Let's make a thread where we make fun of both and fight about which is better? I'm sure it's not a foregone conclusion at all.

Except the only person in here who likes NW a little tiny bit (me), wouldn't even bother defending them much and the entire genre of hip hop is obviously worth more than one corny Disney Metal band.

Seriously, someone who likes ****ing Nightwish should thread really carefully. I really hope she's 12 (and possibly somehow writes from the year 2003) and just doesn't know better.

Everything they did with Tarja was terrible, but I can find a handful songs on each on their 3 newest albums that are allright. There's a bunch of stinkers on each of those albums as well. What really baffles me is why everyone loved Tarja so much. She's such a bad singer that can't even pull off the pseudo-operatic schtick she's going for.

I just like their more power metal styled tracks with the post-Tarja singers.

You know who likes Nightwish? Ki.
Case closed.
