I actually have one of those things in my room too, its my friends and he continually leaves it here despite my objections...

Ah yeah, the gross 80s hair metal guitar. Good call.

the 'one of my parents was famous' guy



expands to include any member of the marley family

The shredder's gurn:




"Classical music can be fun!"








The continued and inexplicable inability of this cunt to kill himself 40+ years ago

yes.

another pop musis train wreck....






explain that to me

didn't we get enough of this




back when those guitars were popular? did we need a comeback?

Black Metal! - what makes Black Metal so hillarious is the artists' total lack of humor and irony over what they do.





Guitar wankery and 80's Metal - The 80's gave birth to the Yngwie Malmsteens, Joe Satrianis and Steve Vai's of this world...




.....and in doing so they have created a whole new generation who wish to follow in their footsteps. Bands like Dragonforce writing bullshit boring songs about magical beings, dragons and wizards ...

Also bands that are 'Oh So Metal'





"SERIOUS FACE"

Superfluous strings/ session bassists:



Corpse paint [proviso - this is so awful it's actually brilliant]



"Get some gospel singers in, that'll make it a bit less shit. London community gospel choir, they'll do [it's always them that'll fucking do]"



"The Beach Boys had a theramin - that'll make our songs less shit as well" [NB - does not apply to Add N to X]

Ha. Great minds, Mr Machine.

The beach boys didn't use a theremin..

THis thread is mazing it makes me want to laugh and then commit sucide and then take an axe to one half the people i know and one third of the gutarist i know

Yes yes, Herr Muso, but the accepted wisdom amongst much of musician-kind is that they did.

The now ironic lighter in the air during a power ballad thing.




Made 20 times worse with the non-ironic cell phone in the air.

listen to Good Vibrations.

Thats one of these bad boys, a singing saw. They sound about the same.

Power ballads

Lighters in the air

Closing your eyes when singing a slow song

"I can't hear you!!!"

Going off stage having not performed the only famous song you have. Oh, I wonder if there'll be an encore.

Keyboard guitars.

Katrina and the Waves' Walking on Sunshine

Saxophone solos in the middle of every pop song (you probably had to be alive in the late 1980's to appreciate the annoyance of this)


Rap breaks in the middle of every pop song (you probably had to be alive in the early 1990's to appreciate the annoyance of this)

bahahahahaha.
This was not mentioned soon enough.

I quite like this song now, hated it at the time.

Has anyone mentioned inflatable penises, dolls etc, yet?

Nothing wrong with these things. Nope. Nothing.

Inflatable satan!

The only time it looked cool was when I seen this band called Kids In Glass Houses do it. But they had an inflatable palm tree. The only thing was the band was a slightly shit emo band from the infamous South Wales Post-Hardcore scene. So yeah Inflatable objects invariably mean the band is utter shite.

How about I am making music here to shock your views.

Oi!

haha.. Shaun has some good shit mane. Dont be hatin. Julian, now that is "I try to sound just like my Daddy" son of bitch

Speed-widdle guitar merchants trying the play the blues - why do these white guys think they can channel the spirit of Robert Johsnon through their over-tapping fingers? Stand up Messrs. Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen and gawd knows how many others.

Ok, not strictly a traditional band, but they are involved with music and they are annoying.

The 'novelty' stage-show:

Having seen those two pictures together, I reckon that someone, somewhere is just waiting to have a novelty stage show involving both stomp and riverdance, and probably Bono.

Religious provocation might seem to work for her, but it only makes me yawn.

Bowie's Glass Spider antics caused traumatic dreams in a young sarramkrop. I can't find a pictures of that stage atrocity, but here's David during the show:

That's one trend in pop music that I hate more than almost any other.

And a gigantic lemon! Why do people think it is amazing to be covered in toilet paper by a bunch of blue-faced twats?

the 'fuck it, just stick jim morrison on the cover' music magazine

Wireless guitar systems so assholes can run around and around on stage and never trip over a cord.

PRS guitars

Citing Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, etc as influences

Kind of defeats the purpose when the other four are all the same length and number of strings.

Adverts becoming records - no, never. There's a band who were designed with the express intention of advertising haircare products, but I can't find the article. Rubbish.

Actually, I believe the "Theremin" in Good Vibrations is an Electro-Thermin, also known as a Slide Theremin or Tannerin. It sounds like a Theremin, but uses a side-to-side slider pitch controller and is therefore infinitely easier to hit notation with than a proper Theremin.

The Rolling Stones Magazine.

maybe sonic should invest in these and save habib the trouble
