Controversial music takes (2 Viewers)

well, metal hates you even more.

Probably - yeah.

To be clear, I like some proto-metal. And some sort of fringe, maybe prog metal.

Here's one: synthesizers rule, and if you disagree you aren't a good person.

Moog rules!

Grunge is generally considered to be bands from Seattle.

Grunge is not even a genre of music

I second this.

I saw them live. Fishbone, STP (original line up), RHCP. All of my friends were so excited about RHCP. I thought I knew a lot of their stuff, but I guess I really didn't.

We get to the concert venue (The World amphitheater in Chicago). We see one or two of the guys from Fishbone running laps around the parking lot. I think the guy ran 3-4 miles. Before their show!

I didn't know a single song of theirs, but it was fun and had good energy.

Then, STP hits the Stage and puts on probably one of the best 45 minute sets I've ever seen. No lighting, no pyro, just great music, and a ton of energy. Scott Weiland was a slithering snake force of nature. I didn't own a single one of their CD's.. I realized I knew everything they played, and I loved their music. I bought one album within the week, and I think another soon after.



Then they're done.. audio equipment is being swapped out. .the sun is starting to set.

RHCP finally take the stage. Pretty cool lighting. I knew like 4-5 of their songs.. the rest were pretty boring. The only interesting person on stage was Flea. Flea is another force of nature.. everyone else sucks. maybe they used to be fun, or interesting, but they were just sorta chill, except for Flea. The thing I loved about Flea was that he was the "filler" between almost every song. But by the end of their set, I had started to get a headache (no drinking, maybe from a long day in the heat), and their music was boring me. Their final song was some sort of slow jam song, that ended with just a ton of guitar feedback/distortion.. sounded awful.

I seriously felt like STP should be the headliner.

Something close to this, without the lighting.

I kinda agree with you.

I did see the rhcp a bunch over the years. Saw them at a tiny club Jimmy's in new Orleans on their first tour I think. Might have been 40 people at it.

But I have to say one of the best concerts I ever saw was them in 91 and it was not them that was good.

That was a great tour. Pearl jam opened then smashing pumpkins then the rhcp.

Needless to say the other two rocked the house. It was before anyone knew who they were.

Great show.

Oh fishbone is one of my all-time favorites. Just a fun band if they are on their game that day. Figured them out if they played tips twice go to the first one. Because the second show they were hurting from being here.

I don’t really like metal. It insists upon itself.

I can't stand Neil Young. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard. ALL of his songs are nothing but whining and complaining.

That my friend is just about the craziest thing I have ever heard!

He is an absolute God!

 

[The Moose]

Yup
Elvis hella sucks

Yeah I agree but that dude got Ann Margaret.

The bye bye Birdy ann Margaret.

So I have to say he at least did something good.

Metal overall? Or the homoerotic hair band stuff?

Your opinion makes the baby Jesus cry

Let’s be honest - it’s all pretty homo erotic.

Easily the worst concert I have ever been to was Aerosmith. Just awful. I'm glad somehow I only paid 10 bucks for two tickets.

There are/were two Aerosmith's. Pre 1978 they were an excellent rock band.

In the 80's they became a hair band.

Pound for pound, Echo and the Bunnymen is one of the best bands of all time.

 

[Saint_Ward]

Not sure if this is unpopular.. the first half might be.

Drugs (or drug use) has probably created some of the best music and also destroyed the most music (either by deteriorating performances or death) than anything else.

Are they tiny?
