Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

Eminem is the Bendis of music. You know he's intelligent, you know he's funny and has a lot of potential. He's just gotta work a little harder and think real hard about every aspect of what he's doing to be truly great.
Not everybody is perfect from the start, but doesn't mean you can't work at it and become a better performer (or comic book writer).

Hey Buried, don't know if it makes sense, but I tried.

Avril Lavigne will die and decompose one day.

[Deathstroke]

Leave Avril Alone!

Well, at least Beyonce hasn't killed anyone.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Phil Collins doesn't molest puppies and eat small children.

At least not so far as I've heard...

[Deathstroke]

I like Phil Collins!

In an interesting twist, I actually brought his solo albums to work with me today.

the Black Eyed Peas are very culturally diverse.

[Adam Crocker]

Unfortunately it looks like we will replace outright condemnation with damning with faint praise. ;)

The Eagles have nice, tranquil melodies.

[Ayo]

the Black Eyed Peas are very culturally diverse.

Actually, sans girlmember, The group is very good live. They opened up for De La Soul at my school a couple years ago (The Roots cancelled, and De La+Black Eyes took their place).

They're incredible live performers, great dancers/breakdancers.

Their songs are generally bland/horrible, but their live show...I'd pay to see them on purpose after having seen them on accident.

Jay-Z is a good rapper.

He's got a very good flow, and occasionally really funny/clever/poignant lines.

I suppose someone has to.

Phil Collins was once the talented drummer of the great Peter Gabriel-led Genesis. then he was the horrid frontman of the sadly Gabriel-less Genesis. Then he made "Against All Odds."...well, at least the first sentence was something nice.

[Deathstroke]

Bunch of Phil Collins Haters!

And I liked the Phil fronted years of Genesis too!

[JeffreyWKramer]

Bunch of Phil Collins Haters!

My previous statement stands.

I think the best thing Phil Collins has done since he and Gabriel were together on Genesis (and even that I consider over-rated) was the episode of SOUTH PARK that he was on.

And yes, I know that wasn't really him. Which is probably why it didn't suck.

Nope. Can't do it. Sorry.

The only thing really wrong with the Doors was Jim Morrison. As individual musicians, they were fairly interesting (in a sludgy sort of way) and definitely influential.

[Ayo]

i would sit through them monkeying around on stage to see De La. just think it's pretty funny how they went from being hailed as the next Native Tongue type crew when they first came out to "let's get it started"-ing...

Yeah...When Dilated Peoples and Jurassic 5 were just starting to make it big, the Black Eyed Peas was always mentioned along with them. But I never could feel those cats because they had no DJ. How are they going to play "old school" when the crew doesn't have a DJ?

They are great live, even with Fergie. They played with NERD a few months back, and they really hyped up the audience.

I was referring to the fact that she wasn't in the group when I saw them. I don't imagine she'd impede their show in any way.



Oh funny story: at all the school's concerts, there's guys screaming at the artists to come to their parties. The poor Black Eyed Peas thought that there was really going to be a serious afterparty (backstory: R.I.T. is famously rated as the second-to-last on a nationwide list of "party schools").

So I went to a lame party after the DeLa/BlackEyed show, and sure enough the group showed up. I was standing right next to one of them and I had to snort/laugh a couple of times...I mean I GO here, what's YOUR excuse?

I have to agree with you on that though I don't know if I find the instrumentals as interesting as you do, but it has been awhile since I listened to the first Doors album which I have since given to my brother. Definitely influential though.

However in the spirit of the thread...

...Morrison's lyrics did lead to many songwriters to push more at the boundaries of rock songwriting. (X, Phil Lynott, Ian Mulloch of Echo and the Bunnymen, Nick Cave, among others.) Moreover, his wild, confrontational, and theatrical performing style (and even his baritone voice), when not completely knock-down drunk, did influence many rock performers such as Nick Cave, Robert Plant, and most notably, Iggy Pop.

Heavy metal music is a great way to release adolescent aggression that might otherwise be channeled to more destructive ends.

It was directed at Crocker, but now that i know there are two joy divison fans, consider yourself targeted by my comment.

[Dennis K]

I've never listened to Joy Divison, but then I've never been able to get past a band that has a Nazi inspired name. I guess it's just me. (Of course I could be wrong, I like history, but I'm not an expert)

I've never listened to Joy Divison, but then I've never been able to get past a band that has a Nazi inspired name. I guess it's just me. (Of course I could be wrong, I like history, but I'm not an expert)
The story is that the band named themselves that when they saw the words "Joy Division" scrawled on an alley wall in France. When they found out what it meant, they considered it an appropriately ironic tag for their music, which, like Nazi prostitution-camps, has little to do with joy.

And there's three of us, Alex. Three.

Pink Floyd and Toby Keith have sold a lot of records.

You don't like Pink Floyd? Too bad, they've got SO much great stuff. Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Pigs on the Wing, What's Ah The Deal, Breathe, Thin Ice. But wait, you probably hate all of these songs.

Now it's my turn to say something nice.

Rush is composed of very talented musicians. Getty Lee is outstanding and Neil Peart is a demi-god. Alas, I cannot get into them.

Britney Spears is really rather hot!

Nyahaha, that was easy! :D

Well, okay that's cheating so let me see... Norah Jones may release tepid, uninspired and very limited music but holy crap is her voice loverly!

Just as well you didn't title this thread "say something nice about a band/artist you despise" because then I really would be at a loss for words.

I am not the least bit fond of the music of Garth Brooks. However, in my brief interactions with him many moons ago (in regard to a charitable cause), I found him to be an extremely pleasant and genuinely nice and generous person.

[Adam Crocker]

I've only heard Substance, and I can safely say I like a few of the songs on it like "Ceremony," "Blue Monday," "Temptation," "Bizarre Love Triangle," and "True Faith." And that's about it.

So is Power, Corruption and Lies worth getting?

Which is why I look forward to reading interviews with him! ;)

However, since this is a thread for getting away from the negativity...

...soft-rock/adult contemporary Eric Clapton has probably introduced many listeners to the blues who would otherwise not have paid notice to it.

Nirvana introduced a great many people who would otherwise not have heard of it to punk through its music as well as to many of the great underground bands of the 1980s (ie; Husker Du, Meat Puppets, Melvins) through name dropping and its selection of support acts.

And "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a good song.

I don't think anyone is trying to censor your opinion. Like I said before if you start an anti-Nirvana thread, ain't nobody gonna care.

The point of *this* thread, the one we are ALL CURRENTLY POSTING IN, is, as I see it, is to prove that you have the critical intelligence to figure out why music that doesn't inately appeal to you *works*. It's an intellectual excersize, basically.

[Romero]

Toby Keith usually keeps his beard well-groomed.

As I said, I only know them from documentaries, so my perspective may be skewed.
I'd not heard about them suing their fans. Whom are they suing, and why?

In general, I hate country music, but most country singers actually have extremely solid voices.

If I recall correctly, it was actually the record label suing the fans but Lars ulrich was the main speaker when he went after Napster.
----------
Axl Rose had some good bandmates that made some good songs as Guns N Roses

Kelly Clarkson is a big Metallica fan.

Chad Kroeger looks like a Jesus muppet.

[FanboyStranger]

Iron Maiden is great if you tune out the singing.

(I know this is going to get me killed, but that's just how I feel.)

[howyadoin]

Iron Maiden is great if you tune out the singing.If you're a fan of skipping and hopping, their concerts are awesome.

[escapegoat]

Flo Rida sure knows how to play up to the lowest common denominator of hip hop fans.

[jdwrocks]

Ozzy was once a great singer in a great band.

[hawkeye comeback]

Ian Curtis (Joy Division) was piss-funny when he danced.

How can you not like joy division!
Right on to saying something nice
Michael Jackson was part of the Jackson 5
Dave Grohl likes was in a good band once

[pariah-1972]

Creed has broken up (yay!)that's something nice right?

[Adam C]

Yay, let's celebrate a band that sues its own fans!

I'm confused. How does suing another company (Napster) for copyright infringement equate with suing one's fans?

[Adam C]

If I recall correctly, it was actually the record label suing the fans but Lars ulrich was the main speaker when he went after Napster.


The band did sue Napster before the other record labels initiated proceedings against the company. Metallica also compiled a list of users on Napster's server who were sharing their music and had Napster ban them from the service. That said, Lars' statements weren't made at a court case but to a Senate Judiciary Committee on copyright infringement.

Kelly Clarkson is a big Metallica fan.

And she got Mike Watt to play on one of her albums.

[justinkos91]

Hinder makes other mediocre acts look like Gods

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Vince Neil made for a really funny joke on The Venture Brothers.

[Karl H]

Bono...

Bono...

Bono...

No. Sorry, can't bring myself to it.

I like that he didn't get let into a nightclub in Noosa for wearing Flipflops. That's not nice though is it...

Iron Maiden knows how to make catchy melodies and do their parts well.

[Crowforge]

Vince Neil made for a really funny joke on The Venture Brothers.
What was it?

[Crowforge]

Kiss provided some good songs to cover.

[HectorP]

King Africa can't cover all the songs in the world.

[Ontir]

Rod Stewart is now the greatest cover band ever!

[mailedbypostman1]

Neil Peart has balls to sing with that voice.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

What was it?

King Gorilla: "You and your Guild can go screw. Ten years of payin' dues, and what do they do to keep me outta here when I got caught?!"

Phantom Limb: "What could we do, King? You eviscerated & sodomized Vince Neil on national television!"

King Gorilla: "I only sodomized half of him."

[howyadoin]

Neil Peart has balls to sing with that voice.I don't think I've ever heard him sing.

[pariah-1972]

Neil Peart has balls to sing with that voice.Uhhh the drummer is Neil the singer Is Geddy Lee

[howyadoin]

Vince Neil made for a really funny joke on The Venture Brothers.Was it his own joke, or did Nikki Sixx write it for him?

[pariah-1972]

Was it his own joke, or did Nikki Sixx write it for him?Id be shocked if the joke was even in tune.

[Spike-X]

Ha! That's not bad.

[gunnerfan69]

I didn't vomit uncontrollably last time I heard the music of James Blunt -- is that nice?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0UT2MpdWnc

Not sure if that counts though...:cool:

[jdwrocks]

Since I am a Hockey fan, "Five for Fighting" is a cool thing to name yourself after.

[Ontir]

It means you're addicted, and there's no goddam patch for that!

[Adam C]

Eric Clapton has shown real generosity in establishing the Crossroads Addiction Centre. He not only set it up against the advice of his accountant and helps raise funds for it through a music festival, but even auctioned off most of his guitar collection to help pay for it. And all with the goal of making sure that as many of the beds as possible go to poorer inhabitants of the Caribbean.

Oh, damn, I knew something was wrong when I was writing that. However, IF neil peart sang, he would have bigger balls for doing so.

[pariah-1972]

Oh, damn, I knew something was wrong when I was writing that. However, IF neil peart sang, he would have bigger balls for doing so.Well he writes the lyrics and he is an amazing drummer so let's not push him too much ok?


I do admit that Geddy's voice takes some getting used to (it's even worse live when he goes off key)

So you don't think this was shitty behavior to their own fans?

[addison13]

Fall Out Boy. Wew, they are famous especially here in the Philippines.
They tour here every year and always watched by many except me. :biggrin:

Paul Rodgers really makes you appreciate how brilliant a singer Freddie Mercury was & irreplaceable he is.

Queen + Paul Rodgers = great music & backing vocals.

[christoph68]

That's the thing that doesn't make sense to me is that lead singers aren't replaceable like (most)drummers.

actually some singers ARE replaceable if you look at some of tribute bands there are many singers that sound like the real deal from said group.

listen to ripper from judas priest he nailed robs voice. imo that is
eric singer has a voice close to peter criss but not as raspy.
when ac/dc were auditioning singers many came that sounded just like bon,
but that wasn't what they were looking for.

the thing with voice versus drums, guitar etc. is that each persons voice is unique in its own right ie: timbre, range, pitch etc. all that is very hard to replicate into sounding the same but it can be done.
with drums, guitars etc. it's practice and equipment though some are better than others on eachs instrument i think that practice is a major force in ability to play.
many say that eddie van halen was the first to use the finger tap technique
but if you litsen to or see a video of tommy bolin he was doing that back before he died in 1976 [though not exactly the same as eddie or as much]
the same goes with ace frehely back in 1974-1975 during his soles and that was before gene simmons heard or saw the early version of van halen daddy long legs.

Yes but just cause you can get someone to soundlike Halfrod doesn't mean he is going to have his stage presence or his songwriting abilities.

.I agree with that part.
Although i don't think i have ever seen anyone be able to completely replicate Bonham's drum style maybe except his son.
