Band Bashing Thread

[lostpilot]

Yes, I am not a fan of the Beatles too, but I don't go around spreading hate. Guys, tastes differ - be mature.

[theis]

I'm not a fan of The Beatles either, but to say they suck is simply pure and plain ignorance.

Their influence is undeniable.

[DenOndaNissen]

All you beatles haters will grow up sometime too!
No one can say that they suck, their music is timeless. Feels fresh still.
In the next 40 years, i dont think many of the bands we are listening to today will be remembered.

well this is short-sighted.

To anyone who hates the Beatles...have you actually ever picked up The White Album and put it on? 

That's all I'll leave you with.

Yes. It's possible for someone to not like something that most people revere.

[ben]

If you have, fine.  I'm just suggesting people do that who have not yet.

[E-Money]

Abbey Road too.  The Beatles are legends cmon guys...

[bright lights, big city]

yeah Helter Skelter is fuckin metal, dudes.

[Sinatra]

I fucking hate Coldplay and how there is a constant comparison between them and radiohead. They are not even on the same fucking level. Radiohead could shit out a song and it would still be a million time better than any Coldplay song ever written. (although I do like "trouble") *cough*  lol.

[defTHE1s]

I FUCKING HATE GUNS N ROSES !!!!   

Add one.

I'm going to have to agree with you there. As a fan of heavier music I'm always a bit confused by trendy bullshit that can't hold water.

Exactly why do you think he's a douche? You know him personally?

And also, even if he's a douche how does that stand in the way for you to like his music? Have you actually listened to any of his bands?

Not trying to assault you or anything, but I just don't see any reason in hating one of the best musicians ever because you think "he's a douche".

I watched Faith No More live last summer and some of my friends, whom never had listened to any Patton projects, were immediately converted by his genius. Really, see him live. It'll most definitely change your perspective of him.

I've tried listening to all of his music and I fucking hate it all.  But there's no doubt he's talented, wouldn't put him in the genius catagory tho... 

Yea i tried really hard to like his stuff, and NOTHING HAPPENED. I've heard so many great things about him and his "genius", and i'm not fucking hearing it, and not for a lack of trying. I understand a lttle of it when listening to something like "epic", and considering when it came out. I have no problem with that song really, but how much of it is his doing? Mainly i really love that piano line with the distorted guitars behind it...was that his fucking idea? If people are going to demand reasons for not liking him from others, i say put your money where your mouth is and explain why. Seriously why and how is Mike Patton a genius. And "everyone says so" is not a valid reason.

Because he can basically tackle every genre of music and make something great out of it.

He is one of the most versatile vocalists alive and can do about anything with his voice; singing, crooning, falsetto, opera (listen to the end of Faith No More's Land of Sunshine), screaming, death growl, rap, beatboxing, etc. You name it.

And on top of that founded and runs Ipecac Records which, IMO, is one of the most interesting record labels (together with Hydrahead) today, spawning bands like; Bohren and Der Club of Gore, Isis, Melvins, Zu, The Locust, Desert Sessions, etc.

So yeah, he's without a doubt a musical genius.

[bodywars9000]

Yea but from what you just told me, he's a very talented singer, which i don't disagree with, though i don't particularly find it appealing.....
and that he runs an interesting and eclectic record label. OOOOkay....

How does any of that make him a "musical genius"? I'm sorry, thanx for trying, but i'm not convinced. What has HE written, does he compose his own music? If he does, where can i find it, i'll give an honest chance. Even if it's not my style but is very well written and/or performed i'll respect him. Cuuz right now i still don't respect him at all. By the way what are you using to define musical genius?

[theis]

Christ, you're starting to sound like a moron now. If you're so interested in "giving him an honest chance" why don't you do a little research yourself? He has composer, a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, etc.

Have at it, hoss.

[bodywars9000]

Oh christ was i? I really must apologize! Thanx for pointing that out though, really. You know what, i'm about as interested in sifting through his library as i am in researching the process of excrement dissolving. The reason i asked was out of convenience. Truly though, thank you for being so understanding, remind me to ask you next time i need a question about Mike Patton, which will be never. Sorry i insulted your idol, don't take it so personally.

Unless, wait, are you Mike Patton? Damn, okay, i swear THAT was the last question.

do you have ears? mike patton is BY FAR one of the most important figures in music of the last 30 years. plus he's done everything under the sun from jazz to metal to hip hop to film scores to sound effects to classical influenced music. you've obviously not done enough research into his work. he's literally done something for everyone and if you can't at least respect the mans achievements you'd have to be completely ignorant or have the worst taste ever.

[E-Money]

Patton is a great artist.  I just don't like his shit.  At all...



I cant believe Deadmau5 has gotten so big.  His music is boring to me.  So much better electronic music out there.
