Band Bashing Thread

[Caín]

I seriously feel like bringing your opinion of Deftones' self-titled record on the table haha, but oh well, we're all different...

Even deftones have acknowledged that s/t & snw were weak records and bad periods creatively in general.

About this - self-titled is their masterpiece. If I had the chance, I would come up to the Deftones guys and  tell them that they should acknowledge how masterful self-titled is.

It may be a masterpiece to some people. maybe they find the bleakness of it exciting, but I think it is a sign of their dwindling creativity. s/t pushes no boundaries, no buttons. it's just bleak and monotonous all the time. and it misses the key ingredience of what makes deftones great: sexuality.

Stop with that kind of shit already. Chino could say that Pink Maggit is the worst song they have ever written, it still would be my all-time favorite track. A band or an artist is not supposed to tell you how to listen to their music.

that's why I love Rebecca Black.

Cain, sexuality is definitely not the only strength of Deftones. For me personally, s/t is great because it lacks the up-front sexuality but transmits hidden emotions like envy or richness of soul; it's a very mature record. The album itself has a wonderful static atmosphere and definitely has unique and mastered sound. But - to each his own. I don't expect you to suddenly love the album as much as do merely because of my arguments. Live and let live

I might have stated this already but, I can't stand the beatles.

[E-Money]

^ I didn't have band to bash until you mentioned Arctic Monkeys. For me they suck. And their one of best examples of shitty mastering affecting music these days. Oh, also Oasis/Beady Eye or whatever the Gallagher brothers put out. Horrible.

so true!

not this argument again.

Who's arguing?

[bright lights, big city]

ok fine. it's on.

later on though, i can't think straight right now.

Which Beatles albums have you listened to, Poofing Acid?  Just curious.

[blixa]

can't someone not like the beatles?

[lukas989]

All through college i had the Beatles forced upon me in our group dope smoking sessions - I still to this day thank all goodness for the eventual meeting of my fellow metal loving dope smoking buddies - as it may have forced me to give up getting stoned.  Ive nothing major against the Beatles to be honest, jst when you're forced to listen to anything remotely poppy for a prolonged period, you cant help but get completely fucking bored of it.  Plus Macartney is a dick.

[ben]

can't someone not like the beatles?

yea

[BillyNo.9]

I dont like the beatles either. Totally overrated and their music is just annoying to my ears.  There was way better music around in the 60's that didnt get acknowledged thanks to the world being retarded for the beatles. Anyone else here ever been to the cavern club, its bullshit IMO. 

[blixa]

i don't like the rolling stones. never have really.

[Sushi-X]

i don't like the rolling stones. never have really.

your not the only one. never have cared for them either

[Corleone]

I grew up listening to the beatles and rolling stones, you guys have to admit that it's way better than the crap that is mainstream today.

[blixa]

anything is better than the crap that's mainstream today.

i do like the beatles though. i'm an avid fan of george harrison.

[Sushi-X]

Yeah I'll agree also that they're better then new mainstream. But just like some people don't like The Beatles, I don't like the Rolling Stones.

Beatles > Stones

To elaborate on my comment, Mudvayne is garbage.  Evidence:

Mudvayne - Dig

I mean look at these fucking tools.  Their music is devoid of any good lyrical content, it's repetitive and the singing is absolutely atrocious.  I'm guessing you're 12-15.  Don't worry, I liked my share of shitty bands too when I was that age.  Stick around here, and we'll get you on a good track to music that isn't stuck in 2002 when the medium almost died and rotted into oblivion.

If I'm sounding like a dick it's tough love.  Get over this garbage.

Im hope you do an analyis on the other shit called Slipknot

[bewareofrats]

The Beatles are great.  Not because of their slew of highly poppy hits but because of the talent and creativity they showed in many of their other songs.

I don't care for:

The Tragically Hip
The Rolling Stones
Radiohead
U2
Pink Floyd
Dave Matthews Band
AC/DC
Guns N Roses
Nine Inch Nails
Nirvana

etc. etc.
