What bands are most hated by real Van Halen fans?

[09-02-1984]

Just wondering.......

What bands are most hated by real Van Halen fans?

It's not rocket science to guess that Van Hagar is undisputedly #1 by a landslide but are there any others? and why?

Clearly the place is full of 70's and 80's people here when it comes to music so I would say all the current nu-metal shyte etc., plus too cold barbeque weather

At least I hate to barbeque when it's snowing

I hate 80's & 90's rock because it's all a lot of hot air except a few with some originality in their music, their shows & their image which is why 60's/70's rock rules & always will from the Beatles to Van Halen!!!

Speaking of the 80's, how about Europe. Anybody remember them? The worst ever 80's hair "metal" band IMO.

Yeah, the final countdown etc. Popular tune when it came out though.

There where so any 1 hit wonders of the 80's it's hard to name them all:

Europe
Rough Cutt
Accept

And many of the good bands self destructed.

Thinking back, I have always hated New Kids On The Block; or anything similar ie. NSYNC, Backstreet ect ect. The worst hair band were the Blonz.

posion, ratt, pretty much every hair metal/glam/faux-metal band of the 80s

Who, unfortunately for all mankind, are trying to make a come-back.

They're the headline act at some festival this weekend, here in Funland...

Amen brother, what a boatload of shit....

The main difference is for the majority of the music, it just doesn't require the talent (especially on guitar) to play this stuff....

The best way of looking at it is if you had one of these numbnuts trying to play the guitar anthems of the 70's.....

I also think that there are very few lead singers nowadays that can actually sing well [[ See: Durst, Fred.... ]].........

80's hair bands are awesome, and they're full of talent. It's the Nirvana/Pearl Jam and everything after that has sucked the life out of music, and made me put a gun to my radio.

[EmpyreLounge44]

please tell me you are joking by saying 80's hair bands are awesome...that is the most rediculous thing i have ever heard

[Warham]

Nirvana breathed some life into the music business.

Kids didn't understand what kind of life the 80's bands were talking about in their music. Nirvana brought back a sense of realism to the music.

[Hecubus]

great thread, bro!!!

Gotta say:

Any late 80s-early 90s synth pop....especially that moody depeche mode crap....

all of the double downtuned, can't tell what note they're playing shit....

J-Lo
Celine Fucking Dion and the rest of the Divas

I have to agree with Giz Sponge on this one. I hate all

of the wanabees that followed CVH.

And I have to add the WHO.....they did their farewell show in

Toronto 20+ years ago and haven't stopped touring since.
