Hey...It comes on, people are cranking it, and signing along.

Come on, man....HEAVY POISON DENIAL GUYS!!!!!!

The point I'm trying to make is that bands like Poison are certainly not brilliant music. CC Deville is one of the worst guitarists ever. They suck live. (Saw 'em twice- once opening for DLR, other time on one of those summer metal tours) But they have catchy songs and if I'm on the porch, drinking a beer, I'm choosing a so-called hair metal band anyday ahead of a Nirvana cd. Even Nevermind.

I did see Poison once at a backyard party in Whittier (back in 1985)!

That's actually kinda cool, truth be told...I saw...um...fuck, who was it...?????

Oh yeah, I saw Alice in Chains and Candlebox prior to their "breaks"...and that one band that had that song...with the girl in the bee outfit..."All I can say is that my life is pretty plain - I like watching the puddles gather rain..." - whatever their fuckin' name was, I saw them prior to their one hit wonder, too...

Hmm.

I'd weigh in, but I'm not allowed in this thread.....

NIRVANA. One of my very favorite bands...maybe tied for first with one or two other bands.

Incredible stuff.

Their stuff is utterly timeless. Extremely ferocious.

IN UTERO is probably my favorite...or maybe it's BLEACH. I just love that hard-edged fucking heavy punk/metal sound they had. NEVERMIND didn't really represent their sound.

Favorite songs:

BIG CHEESE
NEGATIVE CREEP
SCOFF
SLIVER
LOUNGE ACT
ON A PLAIN
OLD AGE (NEVERMIND outtake, on the box set)
CURMUDGEON (great b-side)
OH, THE GUILT (great one off single with the Jesus Lizard)
AERO ZEPPELIN
SCENTLESS APPRENTICE (favorite NIRVANA song)
FRANCES FARMER WILL HAVE HER REVENGE ON SEATTLE
MILK IT
PENNYROYAL TEA
TOURETTE'S
LAKE OF FIRE (Meat Puppets song, from UNPLUGGED)
YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT (my second favorite NIRVANA song...their last ever)

Just unbeatable. And so raw and uncompromising live.

People thinking that simple songs aren't some of the greatest are dead wrong. I've always believed much more in a punk rock mentality than a metal one.

NIRVANA were it.

Sorry Rikk, but that's gotta be the funniest post I have ever read on this site!

Timeless?? Ferocious???

BHHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!
