hmmm I can honestly say that I personally would much rather listen to the rap crap rather than the boy bands and hip hop crap! I like Kid Rock, Disturbed, Enimen....but other than that...I'm pretty bias to heavy, bang your head, metal. I also enjoy alot of the new rock bands. Saliva being one of my favorites. Country music is definately OUT. If you are going to make me listen to that...you better hand me a gun! Icky icky icky music. I have found that my two daughters are little head bangers too...although they have been known to put on their head set and listen to a little weirder stuff! :laugh: By the way...Joe Santriani ROCKS!:grin:
Woah!!! Another S.C.O.T.S fan!!! Sometimes I think I am the only one that has ever heard of them. I know I am gonna hear it for this but I like rap. I grew up in NY in the 80s when rap was first starting up. I grew up listening to groups like Run DMC, LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Doug e Fresh and others. Heck, I remember when the Beastie Boys were a punk band. I also listen to everything else you could imagine. Everything from classic rock (The Stones, The Doors, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, KISS) to 80's metal (everything from Anthrax and old Metallica to Poison and Bon Jovi). Modern stuff that I listen to.. Stained, Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Eminem, Korn and whatever is on the modern hard rock and alternitve stations. I am one of those people who has to include a good audio system in any car that I build. I like to feel as well as hear my music (and entertain anyone withing a block or so :laugh: ). BTW I am 29
I CANNOT stand (c)rap or the hip hop bull. I think Kid rock and M&M ( or how ever it is spelled) should be shot . They are no talented a-holes I myself like 80s metal, older rock, IE Kiss, posion, the crew. aerosmith, also the 50s and 60s cruising music and even some of the 70s disco and dance. XM radio chanels 6( 60s) 7 (70s) 8 ( 80s) and 46 top tracks. Tim
What I hate most about it is, how they and their wanna be fans act, just watch Jenny Jones and you'll know what I mean. It makes me physically sick when I see young kids (and I will say it especially the white kids) act like that, though I don't have kids, I KNOW I can not respect someone who acts like that, not even my own child. Every time I see Nelly I want to hit him in the face with a 2x4 so he'll have a reason to wear that band aid. How about that one 12 year old (lil bow wow or something like that) they showed him with his $120K Mercedes and he can't even see the top of the dash! I will say that the few that have had a unique sound that I can tolerate them. Rap seems to be the same phenomena of the hair bands of the 80's. I eagerly await their demise like most of the hair bands faced. I'm stuck in the 80's HEAVY (not hair) Metal generation. Long live VENOM! Dave P.S. They seem to be doing a moderate job of killing each other off though. Self regulation I guess.
Dave, if you are in to Venom, then I know you were also in to other bands such as Slayer, Exodus , Megadeth, Celtic frost and etc. ( there's a reason I left out Metallica ) ie: they used to be good. :moonu: Sell Outs !!! You're definatley HARDCORE!!! John:TU:
Personally, i like all kinds of music. in fact my cd case is a wreck if some of yall would look at it. it has everything in it. being in high school in the 80's you can guess what rock groups i have. Def Leppard,and Whitesnake for example.... but as far as rap goes i DO have a eminem cd and a couple kid rocks' in there. not much else. the quote pulled from John above is to forward a response............that being............YES. they did sell out !!!! they sold out Denver,they sold out L.A., they sold out Houston, they sold out Dallas....etc.,etc. some people dont like the way Mettalica has gone. but the music is still there, you just have to listen to it. granted it isnt as good as it was(and will never be again).but it's still there. as far as country goes, i'm a country "hick" i have been told. but hey thats ok . i have learned to live with myself. and besides, most of the country of today would have been rock 15-20 years ago. i aint talking no Alan Jackson or Dwight Yokem ,feel sorry for me crap. listen to something like Travis Tritts T.R.O.U.B.L.E. that definately isnt the country that the old folks like. one more thing about rap....................i heard today on the radio that MC Hammer was arrested AGAIN,for drugs AGAIN,and trafficing AGAIN, in Atlanta AGAIN....... man how hard is that to figure out ? if i were him ......1- i would have to think about a major career change, and 2- theres NO WAY i would even think about the state of Georgia in any way shape or form. later.....................................
Nope! There's two of us! :laugh: Soul! City! Soul! City! It don't matter if your wigs on straight..... Hey! Is that rap!?!?!?! ou: :laugh: :Brow:
About the only rapper that I can stand is Will Smith. There's probably a couple of other exceptions, but not many! I really can't stand most rap or hip hop!:blast: Seems to me, the only fans of rap and hip hop are GM and all the jewelry stores!:grin: That, and aftermarket rims and other accessories!! Cadillac probably sells every Escalade they can build!! And how about rap videos!?! Seems like they are directed by the same guy!! Just how shallow and materialistic can they make these guys appear??o No: The eighties are looking better all the time!:Brow:
I always figured that if I wanted to listen to rap music, I would just throw my nice steel toe boots in the dryer. Try it. You'll see exactly what I mean!:laugh: :moonu: I get up in the morning, and I'm walking to the sink, I gotta get my tooth brush 'cuz my funky breath stink!ou: Now there's a rap lyric that makes some sense. None other that I can think of, unless you listen to Cletus T Judd's version of "Cowboy" entitled "Plowboy".p Now that's some funny chit!!ou:
Oxymoron::: Rap = music Sorry, but music has to have melody, and rap has none. I guess some would call it an "art" form. Me, I call it S#@T.... Russ Waters:blast:
OK........some of you guys have mentioned country music. What the heck has happened to country? Have any of you guys seen Shania Twain's new video.....the one where she is riding some futuristic motorcycle, looks like a scene from Tron? That is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. In fact, all of her songs are terrible. It's just amazing what a hot chick can get by with!
HA HA HA HA ! Thats hilarious! I have to remember that one! I figured it would go the way of disco back in the 70's but it's still here. You know, I guess what strikes a nerve with me and country is it has to be the most commercialized music of all the genres. Theres this soap opera story line that the record companies seem to use to sell it. When we visit my mother in law, and my wife and her start talking about country music, it goes something like this. "You know, he wrote that song about his wife who died from MS while he was cheating on her in the tour bus parked next to theirs, while they were doing that show in Branson. And the husband of the woman he was cheating on is the one who found her body". You don't find this in any other music. I like the old stuff much better. Hank Williams, Johnny Cash Etc. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying anything against people who enjoy it, whatever floats your boat is fine with me. :beer
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :beer What a goof. I sense almost as much hate and disdain for (c)rap as I have. :TU: I am unbelievably 40 years old. My how time flies. Don't worry youngsters, you will be there eventually with any luck, so don't make fun of the fogies, you soon too, will be one. :Smarty: That said, if I see one more (c)rap artist get in my face on TV and grab his balls while waving the back of his hand in my face from the perspective of me laying on the ground looking up at him as if he is some kind of superior being, I think I'm going to go out and help Dave with the 2x4 scenario, except I'll use pressure treated because it's alot heavier. :blast: Bob Seger said it best, "rap is short for CRAP!" My personal faves, if anyone gives a rats tush, are both popular and obscure. I love blues. I'm a huge Neal Schon fan. He is an excellent guitarist and musician, (Journey fame), Santana, Led Zeppelin, Joe Walsh, Eagles, Boston, Kansas, Bryan Adams, ELO, Bowie, I could go on and on and on and on....you get the picture. I also DO like some country, I used to HATE it, but I have actually grown to appreciate it's uplifting tempo over the years. I love jazz fusion too. I also am a Satriani fan. He makes Eddie Van Halen look like an amateur. Today's music , I'm sorry to say, whether you agree with me or not, is so very completely bland and vacant in substance compared to it's predecessors. Everything sounds the same, I know it sounds like a cliche, but it's true. It all sounds like blah with distorted guitar and either that droning Curt Cobain scream or that wanna be Pearl Jam type voice. It's so boring and mundane and the same as everything else that comes out, if I were a kid growing up now, I would be lost music wise. Years ago (I hate when I say that) when Boston or Kansas or Zep or Floydd came on, in 2 or 3 chords, you knew who they were. They had their own indentifiable, unique sounds. That is so not the case now, because individual sound and talent is non existent, or at least the record companies are not recognizing true talent because it can't make them rich enough. I just can't believe the kids today would want to listen to the sh!t that spews off the airwaves. They are getting so short changed when it comes to good quality talent and music. They are settling for garbage, and the garbage messages that are sent. We live in a day of manufactured music. Girly and boy kiddie bands, manufactured by the record companies. One is a carbon copy of the one before it. What baffles me is that the American youth does not demand better. They just keep on buying it. I guarantee, years from now, members of these manufactured group bands or whatever the hell you want to call them, will look back at themselves and be embarassed that they were even up on stage doing the cutsie little fag shows that they did. You don't see Robert Plant looking back at clips of The Song Remains the Same with embarrassment.:Smarty:
Truely good Music spans the generations of time. Lincoln center here in NYC has Mostly Mozart all summer long.....every summer. That was written 300 years ago !!! Irving Berlin ......Jelly Roll Morton.....Count Basey.....Rolling Stones..... Do you honestly thing Anyone will be listening to 30 year old RAP songs......30 years from now ??? (of course i said the same thing about Disco.....but it lives ono No: )
If you want to see a good band that is truly unique That is if they make to your town at the local bar. Go see Ol' Yeller They Kick Butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The guitarist Rich Mattson is one of the best songwriters I have ever heard. They definately have their own sound. http://www.olyellerband.com/ and his old band http://www.olyellerband.com/glenrustles/index.html
Neal Schon is an awesome guitarist. I was listening to Joe Satriani coming in this morning. He never fails to blow me away, I don't thing he is human.
