Overrated and Overplayed

[FORD]

Dave Navarro. Totally overrated and sucks as bad as Slash does.

Navarro was good with Jane's Addiction, but the album the Chili Peppers did with him was awful. Just not a good mix there.

[Nitro Express]

Another Sucky Dan outcast... and the one who brought Mushmouth into the Doobie Brothers. And if that wasn't bad enough, he became a right wing "defense" contractor wackjob when his musical career faded away.

Hired by Pentagon brass to be an imagineer of war like how Disney hires imagineers to bring forth new ideas to keep the Disney image from getting stale. Skunk and his employers are the types who can't see the forest through the trees. The real enemy is at the top of the pyramid they exist in, not the goat herders and peasants they stay awake at night figuring out how to kill with the best weaponry the propeller heads at MIT and Cal Tech and come up with.

Exploit the nerds and exploits the failed rock stars I say. The perfect blend of intelligence and stupidity. Maybe Ted Templeman should be brought in to lead things. Everything seems to go to shit without him.

Navarro parlayed a little musical talent into a hosting gig on a reality show where he shows even less talent...

Dave is qualified to be president now. He has created a fake image and has experience on television. Dave's biggest accomplishment is not only screwing Carmen Electra but managing to get her to marry him. Lucky son of a bitch. I hate him!

Are you guys telling me you don't like Jane's Addiction?

Dude, you're obsessed with politics. I don't give a fuck if a musician is black, white, conservative, liberal, gay or straight. If I like their music, I like their music. I don't have to like them or whatever they do when they're not playing music. There's more to life than politics.

[DLR Bridge]

Yeah, I'm with Binnie on this one. As much of a tool bag as Navarro may be, I loved his playing on the three main Jane's A CDs. After Ritual though, I've got little interest in him. Some of the newer Jane's A is pretty good, but primarily because of Perry and Perkins.

[Nitro Express]

Are you guys telling me you don't like Jane's Addiction?

No because Jane's Addiction is a composition. Dave Navarro was just one element in it. It's like Eddie Van Halen was great when he was on the classic Van Halen team. That was a great composition. Ed sucked when he had all the creative control. Listen to "How Many Say I" if you don't believe me.

Jane's Addiction was a nice journey into madness. Kind of like Nirvana. Nothing like a bunch of fuck ups spewing their madness in creative ways that are actually enjoyable to witness. Something unique there.

Dave on his own is ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

If people were in Skunk's shoes and were offered his defense gig they all would take it. Anyone who says otherwise is a lying mother fucker. Clearly someone wanted consultation from somebody who came from left field instead of the traditional kiss ass academic route. I would give the person who hired Skunk an all day sucker for thinking differently. LOL!

Two more for my overrated listed: the beatles & CS&N/CSN&Y

As far as the beatles go, yeah they we're groundbreaking, yeah they were influential, yeah they have some good tunes. I just find 90% of their stuff uninteresting. Bump that 90% up to about 98% and that's how I feel about CS&N/CSN&Y. And bump solo McCartney up to 100%

[cadaverdog]

Santana wrote one great song and then called it different names and played it over and over. Hear one Santana song, you've heard them all.

Yes and no. I'm not a big fan either but Santana has a little more variety than that. You can't say "Winning" sounds like "Black Magic Woman" or "Oye Como Va".

[Kristy]

The Beatles were never overrated. Lennon & Co. knew how to write pop songs until they grew tried of the formula they created. Even they grew tired of the image that was the Beatles. If anything, The Beatles are over marketed.


That fucking logo is everywhere to the point where it has become another corporate whore like Coka-A-Rotten-Cola. I've seen it slapped on just anything from t-shirts to coffee mugs. I can't blame Lennon & Co. for this as much as I can EMI (speaking of corporate whores) who retains the rights to all Beatles images.

Some of the newer Jane's A is pretty good, but primarily because of Perry and Perkins.

That lead singer is a complete loony tune. I read a interviews in some magazine, some time in somewhere where he stated he was living in some really shitty apartment in downtown L.A. He spoke of a roommate who kept on eating his food to the point where Perry instead of confronting the roommate directly claimed to have masturbated all over his roommates food and never told him about it.

They always sucked. Except, maybe, 'Pigs In Zen.'

[FORD]

Yes and no. I'm not a big fan either but Santana has a little more variety than that. You can't say "Winning" sounds like "Black Magic Woman" or "Oye Como Va".

That's because "Winning" sounded like fucking Journey.

Which is ironic because the other two songs actually had members of Journey playing on them.

[Kristy]

Santana did once do a beautiful instrumental called 'Aqua Marine' which sounded a like lot poppy jazz crossover Pat Metheny.
