Well I actually watched some of that. Here's what I learned:
The singer is insane and has a really small weenuh. The small weenuh probably explains the anger.
The crowd looked like all ugly dudes who are equally nuts and seem to like to hit each other. I believe they probably all have tiny Honkie Dongs too.
The music was horrible. The singer should have killed himself on stage. That would have at least been entertaining.
FWIW, I liked the grunge stuff, including Nirvana. I do remember there being a ton of hype around Smells Like Teen Spirit and when I finally saw the video/heard the song I remember thinking "that's what all the hype is about?". I liked the song, but it wasn't that great. If nothing else, at least the grunge stuff was guitar based. All things considered, I thought some pretty decent stuff came out of that era. The band Helmet had their heyday during that period, so I'm glad I found them as I really liked their first four albums.
I do think the "grunge killed hair metal" mythology is not entirely accurate. I think it was just more the natural cycle of music styles/tastes changing than some sort of revolutionary call to arms for the nation's disaffected youth. That's always struck me as being a bit of a hokey narrative.
I appreciate how reasonable you grunge guys are, trying to meet us sleaze cockers in the middle, but I'll just put all my cards in the table & come right out saying that I'll always blame John Lennon for every problem humanity faced from the 60s up until the 90s & Kunt Nobrain for all the problems since 1991.
If it weren't for Nerdvana spreading out like a disease & enabling other bands like Radiohead, facilitating the "woe is me" mentality since then, you wouldn't have disgruntled young losers from the west joining forces with the towel-headed dirt monkeys & commiting terrorist attacks.
No one will be able to cuntvince me otherwise.
Nope, didn't miss that fact at all. You just filled a gap where you had to take a logic jump.
If you pay attention to the young adult western retards that join forces with the towel-headed dirt monkeys, they were, indeed, living with mum.
I heard the speech of one of them, the French guy that helped plan the attack on the Eagles of Death Metal.
He was telling the others that they were to shoot everyone in sight, humiliate them, spit in their faces, etc. because that is all they deserve.
Tell me that's not the speech of someone who is pissed off they don't get enough attention. He probably listened to "Creep" before he ran away from homw.
I wouldn't go quite that far in terms of grunge being talent-free genre.
I just tend to look at 1989 as the last commercial hurrah for hair metal, certainly regarding the high-profile US bands that got heavy rotation on MTV. In terms of their best material, the likes of Motley Crue, Dokken, Ratt and the like were already recycling riffs and ideas. 1987 to 1989 had that blast of lesser-talented bands of the genre (your Wingers, Poisons and Warrants). Leppard had shot their wad with Hysteria.
So 1990 rolls around and you're left with Extreme, Trixter, Faster Pussycat...not exactly the cream of the crop. Queensryche and Skid Row were still plugging along with Empire and Slave To The Grind. And the whole hair metal template with the obligatory power ballad had just run out of steam. What had seemed new and exiting several years prior was just staid.
1991 was the transition year, but lest we forget you still had G n R and Metallica (not hair metal to be sure, but at some type of metal) selling a shitload of records that year.
And more than a bit of it was that kids graduating high school in the early 1990s were, by and large, probably too young to have really remembered (or cared) much about the 1980s LA hair metal bands. I mean, a kid turning 18 in 1992 would have been, what, 10 years old in 1984? Back then, to such a kid a Twisted Sister video would have had as much resonance as Pee Wee's Playhouse.
That whole grunge explosion lasted about as long as the hair metal scene, in terms of years. Shit, by 1996 Soundgarden was on their last gasp, Nirvana had already ended, Pearl Jam had peaked and then (much like Winger and Warrant in 1987) your Puddle of Mudd and Bush-type bands came in to mop up whatever residual interest left in that type of rock was left to be found.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
FORD and I have sparred over this before.
White suburbanites cryin' about how bad they got it? Yeah...fuck those guys.
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Hadn't thought of that.
Yes. Yes, that seems like a good idea. A GREAT idea, in fact.
We can increase the efficacy in spotting out potential terrorists while decreasing the number of dead people, innocent or otherwise. Not to mention it's cheaper & a whole lot easier.
And incredibly more dangerous. But hey, that's ONE drawback amidst a sea of advantages.
I can understand Bob Seger - badly!
But Helloween? Who has a beef with Helloween? They always were such a happy-go-lucky band in spite of their many internal turmoils.
All their songs are catchy, uplifting, and... oh... yeah, I can see why you wouldn't like them. Too much fun.
Bud there is fuck all to hit .... " dont believe the hype" asshat destroyed it ages before we got there ......
Tomorrows Telegraph ,,, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...non-event.html
Britain's controversial air campaign in Syria has been branded a “non-event” after it emerged that the Air Force has carried out only one attack on the country in the last four weeks.
Since MPs voted for war over Syria on 1 December, more than a month ago, RAF Tornados and Typhoons have mounted only three strike missions – all in the first five days of the operation.
No RAF manned strikes have been conducted on any Syrian target since 6 December, 28 days ago, it can be revealed. The only further strike was made on Christmas Day by an unmanned, remote-controlled Reaper drone, bringing the total number of British strike missions to four.
The BBC did a live week at the airforce base in Cyprus and everyday these Jets fly out and back and never drop a single bomb.... same as your guys.
Any way back to stuff that matters .............rock yeah \m/
Here, let's make up by enjoying some really good music.
See? If that don't put a smile on your face then I don't know what will. Plus she's hot and has a great tan and great hair. And there's even a Trannie standing next to her. There's something for everybody. And not a filthy Hippie or Talicong in sight.
I would have jerked her panties off the second she walked off stage. That's some 70s goodness right there!
