The Strokes, The Libertines, The Vines, The Hives - What have any of these bands done other than just sound like a shitty garage band? I mean, I have to give points for lack of overproduction. Luckily, all of these bands will fess up to rather hardcore recreational drug use, so eventually they'll disappear. (note that The White Stripes appear NOWHERE in this paragraph.)
Radiohead is such an bunch of whiny bitches. Why in the hell does anyone think that inane bullshit is 'genius'?
I TOTALLY agree that Nirvana would be forgotten had that dopehead not shot up an insane amount of heroin and let Courtney put some supersonic buckshot into his face.
Metallica's new album...Lars, it's callled a tuning key and a putting the switch in the correct position. Try that and more people might buy your new one. Well that, and the complete alienation of your fans by helping the RIAA try to sue them.
Garth Brooks...yes, Garth Brooks. Single handedly destroyed any shred of dignity that country musicians had. That final trace of dignity was then anally raped by Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, and Toby Keith.
Sorry for the rant, guys...but when you work 'in radio' (if you can call my job that)...you get this shit shoved down your throat with Billboard, record promoters, Rolling Stoner...and you can only take so much.
