The foo fighters also seem to get them goin. Its just hard to be really into a band when its associated with the future frat boys of america XD I do like both bands though, just not actively or vocally XD. |

damn, that was good and true. It really does take the effort and passion out of it all, which has in my eyes taken alot of the genuine(ness?) and sincerity out of a good portion of music. BUT for the listener and or musicmaker the internet has definitley made music more accesible(i wouldnt have found out about over half of artists i like) and at the click of a button. Its like every other day i got a new favorite artist and shit |

LOLZ but i freakin love the chili peppers, i just grew up listening to them EDIT: i know what u mean though, there are a few bands that i secretly love too |
Yeah I get that side of it it to. It really is a love hate thing for me. I discover alot of new artists through it, but it doesn't seem like many of them have much real intensity.
to me.. you can play as heavy and hard as you want, but if you don't feel it, than you can't really get under my skin. And like I said, I think the new found convenience modern bands have found in the internet has taken some of that away. It really is a ying-yang sort of thing. |

What's your favorite album by the chili's? |
By The Way is sooo boss and same with Blood Sugar. But to me theyre all classics and good as shit. Dave Navaro wasnt shit compared to john frusciante though. I really dig their shit from way back with like Freaky Styley and Uplift Mofo too, its so fun. But i have to admit that their singles arent always the best(but i love them too)

I know what you mean, this thread is really telling it like it is |
Quote:
You really can't argue with Blood Sugar, they kind of perfected their craft with that one. I always thought their really early records sounded kind of weird, can't tell you why though... just always have. |
Quote:
yea i hated it so bad before. It sounds wierd because they were really wierd, they were literally like half insane back then and on drugs. Im reading Anthony Kiedis' biography currently and it is awesome, its so hard to put down. |
I've heard it'll kind of make you think differently of them
|
yes indeed, they were some real free spirits back then. They just lived for fun and did whatever, whether it be jumping off an 8 story building, banging your drug dealing dads girl at like 12 or shootin up
I know someones gonna be like "this is so off topic omg" |
chili peppers suck... they do cover beefheart live though apparently..

the locust are one of the worst bands i have seen live. the only record of theirs i can ever listen to is their first 7 inch anyway. |
They were great live when I saw them.. really full of energy and making fun of everyone and it was actually funny instead of their usual brand of "we're more scene than you so let's joke about how scene you are" bullshit. I guess in retrospect the show seemed more awesome because I just watched their drummer. But yeah, shit band.
Everything I love and hate about music can be summed up with this quote: "I am an antichrist, I am an anarchist." |
Quote:
yeah the only thing i liked about them is when they made fun of everyone and pretended they were on coke. i saw them with combat wounded veteran and they sucked even worse live then the locust. even though i did like combat wounded veteran the first time i saw them live with reversal of man. |
haha cwv.. ew.

you're mostly talking out of your arse |
Yeah, I don't really agree with any of that. Don't use the internet to discover music if you don't want the joy taken away.
I think there is a lot more inwardness in our society in general thanks to the internet, but most people don't even use it to its full potential anyway. Most people only look at porn or personal ads I'd assume... but it is true that anything you ever wanted to know about anything is a click away. Which is more awesome than awful in my opinion, though I do eventually see our entire society existing almost exclusively online... |
I like that music has a greater variety than ever. If I want to find a band that sounds like _____ but without the _____, and maybe a little more _____, it's probably already out there.
I hate that the proportion of good music to bad music has become increasingly worse. |
Quote:
I rarely ever talk about music with anyone in the real world, unless it's with people I have met from here. I'd rather discuss porn and people than music. |
Right now?
How every so called Indie band sounds the same. They all sing with British accents and it's just terrible. |
Hate: I don't have the money to buy all the music I need.
|
Oh and also this new thing where the singer "sings" some quirky lyrics that don't rhyme or have any rhythmical significance in relation to the song. I listen to Triple J a lot, and they never stop playing those kind of songs.
If you've heard Thou Shalt Always Kill by Dan Le Sac or I'll Kill Her by Soko You'll know what I mean. |
Love - Listening
Hate - Reading long posts about it |

I love the fact that my hearing is so fucked up from the MBV gig that I can't hear the shit spewing from the radio that is on at work.

It was probably something to do with trying to invoke a heirarchy of anger in music which is rationally untenable and largely hyperbolic at odds with the generally very personal associations of 'anger' within music. Viz, I hear Black Flag and hear bored Americans. I hear other things and hear rage. Doesn't mean it's there for you or absent for me, just it's a bit of a non-sequitur. I should've thought that much was obvious. |
It wasn't just anger, more just pure intensity and genuineness than anything.

I agree with T&B. |

I actually love this. I never run out of stuff I like. |
Quote:
'Intensity' and 'genuineness' still mean nothing lad. Not laying into you or 'owt, just suggesting that not everyone agrees with you. 'Genuineness' really means fuck all. I've met a handful of big bands (no name-dropping, I'm afraid) and most successful/ career musicians are entirely honest, earnest, and genuine about what they do, regardless of whether that come through to you as an individual. I have absolutely no doubt that Celine Dion genuinely believes the music she makes to be amazing and true and genuine and 'good'. |

I get what your saying.
I don't know, maybe I'm just one of those idiots who thinks everything was better way back when. There is good music now, just very little of it hits me like most of those old albums do. |
I don't know, modern music trends confuse me. People adore John Mayer in the popular world, and despise him underground. Jeff Buckley is virtually ignored by pop listeners, and worshipped underground. In reality, they're pretty equally talented and not all that different stylistically. It's not about "good" or "bad" or even "style" anymore. There are too many elements that affect us unknowingly.
