Kid Gleason Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 No it's not. The style you're looking for is post-grunge, which is closely synonomous with utter crap. Nu-metal is the fusion of rap and rock, more or less resulting in awful music. Good lord man, you just can't let people like what they like without bashing it, can ya? I rarely get into things with people, but this is ridiculous. You know, many bands out there do NOT make music for the sake of "pushing boundaries". But rather, they join and form bands to reflect the music that they love and have enjoyed listening to. Commercial pop bands will probably gladly tell you that they grew up listening to stuff along the lines of The Outfield, Boston, Journey, etc. So that is the style they play. Are they selling out? No. Are they playing bad music? To you, yes, to them, no. Nu Metal, whilst bad to you, is a hybrid of numerous styles (Rap and NY Hardcore being major parts and elements), and many of the kids doing the stuff now grew up on either of those styles, or on other Nu Metal bands such as Korn. People do play the stuff they love, not everybody is out to be "daring" and "adventurous" in their musical tastes and performances. Nobody is killing music by making Pop or Nu Metal. The Underground will always survive, I should know, I have lived there for the past 25 years now.  Bagging on bands and people for what works for their ears is just wrong and pointless. Be glad people listen to music for crying out loud, no matter what the music is. My wife loves Hip Hop and Rap. I detest the stuff more than anything. But hey, she is enjoying music, and that is cool with me. My daughter loves stuff like Avril Lavigne, Britney, Christina, and all that stuff, and that's cool. It's music.

Cerbaho-WG Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Attention people. Cerb is an asshole. Some of you are just now finding this out, the rest of us have learned to live with it. Or maybe you're one of the only people on here who has a problem with me considering you've called me everything from an asshole to a plagiartist with no support whatsoever.  Hey Spiff, I remember a while back when you said all I did was steal from Baseball America, ever find any evidence to back that up or did you just pull that out of the sky like anything you ever level against me?

Another one I like is "One Borboun, One Scotch, and One Beer" (hmm I think I see a theme here...), he just goes off at so many different points with nasty solos.

SuperSteve Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 The entire point of music is not to sell out and make money, it's about making good sounding stuff. Just about every band listed here blatantly uses reguritated s***, changes very minute chords/beats, and calls it their own. These bands are not pushing the limits of music, rather they are making the populus comfortable within a sphere of complete s***tiness. Music needs innovators, not garbage bands that have no creative thought process whatsoever. Many of "my" bands aren't "huge" at all. Could Radiohead easily make marketable pop music and make even more money what they make now? Of course they can. But why don't they? Why didn't they stick to the form of success that made OK Computer the best album of the 90s and continue making records like that? Why instead did they dabble in IDM/Electronic-Rock with Kid A? Because it pushed outward the boundaries of music.  I find it funny that you assume I hate everything mainstream. Does R.E.M. or Radiohead, two of the biggest, most successful bands of last decade, ring any sort of bell with you? Sure, everything else is obscure, but that's because mainstream music doesn't whet my appetite. I want to hear music that is innovative, not garbage that is merely just marketed to make s***loads of money. And just because something is obscure doesn't mean I hate it. I listened to a bit of Experimental Audio Research recently and hated it. I think that a lot of "my" bands have made mistakes in song selection, releases, etc. While I do not believe "my" bands are infallible, they're miles upon miles ahead of anything listed in this thread. God forbid one wants innovation.  Am I an elitist? I prefer to be called avant-garde. Just let people like what they like. I think Charlie Daniels steals all of his songs, that's a no-brainer. Seriously though, there are multiple points. There is a big deal when it comes to money. I could careless if people have heard of the bands. I like what I like because it is what I like.

Kid Gleason Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Well, anybody who knows of the bands on my list deserves a in return! Â ***shameless plug*** Â If you like the stuff keep an eye out here on this board for when I launch my "fanzine" thingy hopefully by the end of the year. The debut issue will be a Wrathchild feature covering their history, and what they are all doing now days. Each issue will pretty much concentrate on just one band at a time, with the only real area being dedicated to other bands being the album review area. Gotta push the new stuff someplace. The name of the 'zine is Sonic Ruin, and as I said I hope to have it ready by winter. Â ***shameless plug over*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I'll look for the zine, definitely. Is it going to be an e-zine, or an actual paper publication? Sonic Ruin is a cool name too, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Actual paper. I asked around to a bunch of people as to what they would prefer, and almost everybody said actual hardcopy style. Something they can take with them. Â Cool ya like the name. If I ever get a band back together, it will probably also use that name. I'm so original.

Soxy Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Didn't want to start a new thread, but I thought I'd just bump this one instead. Â I got an old Joni Mitchell cd for Christmas (Blue, I think) I just got around to playing it recently--and wow, I really like it. Crazy that I'd never heard her before. Â I also just got a Nat King Cole cd--that is seriously a cool and suave cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
