Producers don't hand out one or two million dollars to make a music video these days like they did during the 80s and 90s. MTV and other music channels alike dropped airing music videos during the mid 2000s in favor of reality TV shows.

^ so much this and so much sadness.
The 'M' in Mtv was supposed to stand for Music but now they're just another crappy network playing Reality shows.

Even when I was like, 9 or ten years of age, I had this thought while watching MTV and the grunge bands I was in to, that one day, MTV would become this pathetic excuse, or rather a completely different network than it was in the 90's.

I was pretty young, but like many others that thought the same thing I did, I was right about MTV. The M should be replaced with an R, to reference Reality TV Network.

No I'm just talking in general. It was sort of a rant based on what you said about music videos. I don't like music videos because of how they slightly altered the industry. My views are exactly the same as Urban's on this matter.

I didn't mean to derail this thread.

This thread was derailed pages ago. But that's what is making this thread entertaining!

Bush certainly weren't.

lol, go away Scrooge.

As far as "The People That We Love" and the rest of Golden State, I don't see the similarities to Nirvana at all. The riffs are totally different from something Cobain make. Cobain's riffs have that edgy, lo-fi, noise-rock-infused, sludgy tone to them. Bush never has that, and they pretty much do the opposite. Furthermore, that song is the only thing from Golden State that is even remotely similar to Nirvana.

I don't understand the comparison between Rossdale and Cobain.

It's funny how people keep saying something like this when I said so many times that I'm not comparing them. I simply asked who people preferred, Cobain or Rossdale, it's mostly everyone else that turned this in to a comparison game lol.

But I knew it'd become that, inevitable.

In my defense, I had forgotten what this thread was about when I made that post.
