in my opinion that shit rocks. i only wish i could have seen them in concert.
I dig them too. Dirt is one of my favorite disks of the 90s.
I saw them open for the Clash of the Titans tour (of all the movie titles to borrow, why that one?!!?). The Slayer crowd didnt dig them at all and booed them off the stage after a few songs. It was a good show though...
Speaking of covers, what is up with covering a tune and not changing a thing? i just heard Death Cab playing a Freedie Johnson song note for note.!?!wintershed wrote:I think it's funny that bands are covering songs I hated by the original artists. l:
Now I actually like the original and the cover was fine as far as imitation goes. But why not just record yourself saying "We wish we wrote this song-we wish we wrote this song-we wish we wrote this song"?

some people treat covers of songs by their heroes like they're some kind of holy relic that cannot be altered.johnny7 wrote:Speaking of covers, what is up with covering a tune and not changing a thing? i just heard Death Cab playing a Freedie Johnson song note for note.!?!wintershed wrote:I think it's funny that bands are covering songs I hated by the original artists. l:

that's copying, not covering, and i think it's best left in the rehearsal room.
talk about idol worship.

Help me love again
My own band makes me strangely angry much of the time. I'd blame it on quitting smoking, but I was angry before that.
Nu-country, especially the 'I'm a Super-Patriot', racist, 'I have roots, 'cause I grew up poor' kind. And all the rest.
X-tian music, makes me want to eat babies starting with Jesus, just to make it stop at the source.
Anything nu-metal, bonus hatred for eXtreme movie soundtracks, or anything Spiderman-ready.
Screamy bullshit. Yeah. Your daddy hit you. Talk it out.
Emo-monotone. I will give you something to drone sadly about. Extra rage if you are influenced by Screamy bullshit.
American Idol. Though the fact that the producers and assistants have to listen to the same 16 songs hundreds of thousands of times mitigates it somewhat. A hell of their own making...
Punk/metal acts who think they invented the genre, and the asshole fans who act like they did.
Acoustic guitar songwriters who get a band, and don't change what they're playing accordingly. Or those that don't immediately sever their hands and heads.
Dave Matthews and his followers, many and legion.
Smooth jazz, Kenny G, and things I'm forced to listen to on hold. I will kill you, customer service person.
Any more YouTube covers of the shreddin'-ist Canon in D.
Sad girls playing out of tune Walmart guitars singing songs about how they'll never love again.
Any song using the words, 'Dreams', 'Girl', or 'Forever'.
Any song that refers to itself, eg. "...and that's why I wrote this song". *shudder*
Everything this guy's done. Seriously, check out anything. Rage.
Splash cymbals and 5 string basses, and the drummers and bass players that love them.
Bands that use makeup or masks that aren't KISS.
Bands that are KISS.
Techno or any alternate that encourage the use of hula-hoops, glow sticks, or that goddamn crystal ball that, whoa! he almost dropped it! or did he? oooooh!
White-guy blues, or anyone who lusts after an SRV relic strat.
Cover bands that specialize in Mustang Sally. That song was the reason behind VT, I know it.
Cover bands that play any of the above.
I totally love all your guys' shit though.
