Okay folks, getting into it with someone who was BORN during the Bristish Steel / POE era doesn't hold as much weight as would an opinion of someone who were in their teens, growing up while it was fresh and new to the world, and the era leading up to it. It's all a history lesson to them...not to say one can't learn and understand that time period, but it's not the same as living it. I personally have a lot of respect for what Joe brings the table here at JP.com, though he doesn't ask for it, there are some of us who are more than the casual fan, and we know shit for what it is, shit!! One thing I will agree with is that the last couple of generations have been spoon fed a lot of shit music, so I can hardly blame the younger generation for not having the appreciation for quality music as most of us do, It's not entirely their fault...but they shouldn't throw stones either!!

They think there musical tastes and likings are "elite" and above everyone else because THEY like it. That doesn't mean its good if Rolling Stone likes something. Notice how they slag EVERYTHING that IS good? I mean come on. Seriously. There music CRITICS and JOURNALISTS, they're obsessed with their own opinions because somebody reads it.
The Mars Volta might be good technically as musicians, but that Tetragrammaton song is fucking HORRIBLE, its just NOISE.
I don't care HOW good you are, if you can't write a song that actually sounds like a song, don't write music.
I'll never understand these modern rock bands. Its all just mindless power chord strumming nowadays with WHINNY lyrics that aren't even cool, there boarder line emo. Why play When You Were Young when you can play Fight Fire With Fire?
#1 Its better technically.
#2 Its Funner.
#3 Its not fucking whinning, its badass.
Maybe thats why everyone nowdays are such fucking retards, the media is shoveling literally shit down our throats and labeling it as acceptable musical talent. |
