  • Sleater-Kinney are actually pretty phenomenal, but I guess PJ fans who only enjoy PJ, AIC, Soundgarden, and Nirvana wouldn't understand a band as talented as they are.


    It's a shame Eddie wastes time in trying to find good openers when the stupid 25-40 year old fans just shit on them because they don't understand.

    You're on glue.

    I'm in that 25-40 range and i don't ONLY enjoy PJ, AIC, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. In fact, i can't stand Nirvana. Also, it's not that i "don't understand" i just think Corrin Tucker's voice is the worst noise my ears have ever come across.

    EF you S-K haters.


    MMJ and KOL are possibly the most boring and lame rock bands out today. I have no clue why PJ enjoy them.
    WHAT?!! Kings of Leon fucking rule.The best stuff I have heard in years besides Pearl Jam.

  • Mike's playing is just fine, and like you said, Kiss was an earlier influence on what his does. He branched out later. He hasn't "stuck" with Kiss, although you can still hear the influence.

    Mike's playing isn't fine in the same way I'm talking about...

    Listen to Mike play that solo at the end of 'Alive' on Ten... Now, seriously.. Has he really gotten better since he pulled that off? That was over 15 years ago & it doesn't sound like his playing is any better than when he played that - I think he's about just as good as he was 15 years ago. That's why I'm saying he should branch out more & find more influences in guitarists.

  • Why do people not like U2???

    I friggen love them! My second favorite band ever! "War" is amazing!

    Songs like "Seconds" and "Drowning Man" send chills down my spine!

    Because their songwriting & emotion hasn't felt real since Achtung Baby.. May be spelled wrong - but I've heard it & albums since.

    Sleater-Kinney are not bad. They are pretty clever actually.

    Some bands they like that are suspect:


    Wallflowers
    PeteTownsend (solo..let my love open the door is suspect,sorry Pete, otehrwise solid of course) Eddie should not acknowledge his post Who solo stuff, IMO.
    Black Crowes

    I just thought. What if someone said Neil Young. Wouldn't that be grounds for an instant banning.

    i really don't care for most neil young. amazing songwriter. but i have tried and never been able to sit down and listen to an entire neil young album.

    Yeah i am with you on the My Morning Jacket, and Kings of Leon and Slater Kinney. I think all three of these bands are crap. Might as well lump Sonic Youth back in there as well. I was finally glad to see a decent opener at Bonnarroo in Jack Johnson. After I saw them at Lollapalooza and I had to sit through My Morning Jacket I was so relieved to hear them play Why Go.


    wait, those bands suck and jack johnson is a good opener?? i SO have to disagree with you there. jack johnson's music should be packaged and sold as a sleep aid. it's not bad, it's just the most boring music ever.


    *as a side note, is your user name referencing the mutant deadpool?? if so, you're awesome.
  • First off, just want to say that this is only my opinion, so don't take it wrong. But I would say Bruce Springsteen. I think that maybe you have to be an american to love him as much as most of you guys seem to. Up here in Canada I know noone who likes any of his stuff. Once again only my opinion.
  • i think his entire discography is given when you pledge a frat or sorority.

    Kiss isn't that bad, they have a lot of good tunes, and say whatever you want but you know damn well if you grew up around the time when Mike and Stone grew up, you'd be into Kiss as well
    This is very true. two of my very best friends grew up listening to KISS and have seen the band live multiple times, including Ace Frehley solo just recently. the movie "Detroit rock city" is actually what got me interested in KIss's music. I don't love them as much as my friends do, but I would like to see them live if they ever tour again.
    Dimebag Darrell was also a huge KISS fan and he is buried in a KISS coffin made by Gene simmons himself and it's signed by all the members.
    Kiss is a huge influence on many many bands.

    Not a fan of several of them but the one that sticks out is SK - no question the worst IMO

    The lead singer of that group would nearly throw me into seizure with that voice. Sad thing is how many songs were ruined when she took the stage to join Ed. Oh how she massacred songs!

    I definitely agree. Maybe I didn't listen to them much...but after hearing her guest with Eddie, plus the Hunger Strike, and trying to listen to a handful of downloaded songs...my ears hurt.

    Kiss sucks... terrible, just terrible.

    I can't believe people are actually defending them... I can see them as someones guilty pleasure or something (like enjoying '70's disco) but I can never se them as a great musical... anything

    I only see make-up, pyro, and loads of cash made from people who'll buy anything that their friend's would buy
  • So am I the only here who actually loves Sleater Kinney, My Morning Jacket and Kiss, and like KoL a whole lot too?
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    I could never do the "glam" rock thing.... Anything that involves makeup is usually a no go for me.. musically speaking..

    So am I the only here who actually loves Sleater Kinney...?

    No - I love Sleater-Kinney! I appreciate that Corin's voice is not to some people's taste. However there's no need for any sexist comments (how else could that one have been taken?!) and I'm not sure Carrie was ever known to attempt a Mike-style solo! I wonder how many of the anti-SK folk have listened to a full album rather than just the live stuff they did with Pearl Jam.

    I agree about Jack Johnson though. Just so dull to me. I was travelling in Australia when In Between Dreams came out and it followed me everywhere. I went from being bored by it at the start to being absolutely bloody sick of it by the time I left!
    Try to tell me that you love me, throw your little punches at me...

    Kiss rules.

    Also, the answer would be Kings Of Leon and My Morning Jacket.

    This is officially the dumbest post I have ever seen on the board. Good grief.
