If they're a 'classic rock' band I probably won't like them.

ZeppelinAir 02-04-2007 03:53 PM

not classic, 90's, alternative rock, there pretty good

_Spinning_ 02-04-2007 03:56 PM

Live are awesome.

Crowe 02-04-2007 06:39 PM

Crowq you need to get in touch with the roots of rock. I don't believe you've never heard of Robert Johnson or Canned Heat or the Eels (not really rocks roots but still) - why don't you like classic rock?

Its just not really my thing, i've just never been able to get into any classic rock. I liked the Doors for awhile, and I love Dylan but thats about it.

A_Perfect_Sonnet 02-04-2007 09:00 PM

AC/DC - I think they are pretty gimmicky and what not.

Amon Amarth - ODIN GUIDE OUR SHIPS. Lmao @ their video, the simultaneous hair swinging cracked me up.

Andrew WK - I regretted buying his album the second I listened to it. His and Tenacious D's.

Apocalyptica

Avenue Q

Black Sun Empire

Children of Bodom

Coal Chamber - I always saw the "goth" kids in middle school wearing these shirts. No big surprise that they suck.

Dark Tranquillity

Devildriver

Dimmu Borgir

Draco and the Malfoys

DragonForce - Shredding and singing about fantasy kingdoms does not make you cool.

Electric Six - Okay, you listened to "*** Bar" and thought to yourself, 'Man these guys really rock!" Nuff said.

Flogging Molly - I enjoy them, in small amounts.

Frank Turner - He is the man.

In Flames - They have a little too much of that "metal-vibe" going on, but some of their hooks are pretty darn sweet.

Mastodon - I have Remission, it's okay.

Motorhead - I can fault them, but I don't listen to them either.

Opeth - So I was trying out for this tech metal band, and they were all like "Can you make yourself sound like the guy from Opeth?", and I was like "Well I can try, I suppose." So I'm trying out and I really hate the music and everything, and towards the end (with obvious sarcasm) I say "Would it just be easier on you if I were singing in 3 different time signatures during the chorus while you play a blast beat and he chugs a breakdown?"

Get this, they said "That would be awesome!" In short, I don't like them.

Patrick Wolf

Queen - Freddy Mercury = my hero.

Rammstein - Industrial music shouldn't exist. These guys blow.

Rob Zombie - I listen to him in my car when I feel like acting stupid. He isn't very talented.

Rockapella

Sepultura - Bad and a half.

Sevendust - Ugh.

Slipknot - Corey Taylor is... awful. They don't need 10 members either.

Soil

Soilwork

Static X - You're kidding right? They collabed with the Linkin Park guys. All I need to say.

Stephen Lynch - He isn't funny, and people should just accept that.

System of a Down - If Serj wasn't trying to sing like he was trained in opera (yeah, I know he was) I wouldn't dislike this band AS much.

Tenacious D - Well this is funny, I guess you can refer back to my Andrew WK comment.

Thin Lizzy - I dig this band.

The Who(?) - Exactly.

sleepy jack 02-04-2007 09:19 PM

Apocalyptica - Don't they do metallica covers?
Children of Bodom - I never saw the hype over them they're okay.
Dark Tranquillity - <3
Devildriver - Eww
Dimmu Borgir - Dont like
Draco and the Malfoys - theyre like a funnier version of harry and the potters
Patrick Wolf - One of my favorites, ever
Soil/Soilwork - one of these two is a terrible nu-metal band.
