lol i've read that and its very funny.....regarding your earlier post it did make rock too serious but again i don't think any of those bands had an agenda to do that.

true. but the facts still remain that the "revolution" in music occurred and they were the leaders, however unfortunate that may be

secondly is there a problem in poison and motley crue being has beens at that point? a band like guns and roses would still have done very, very well if axl had not caused the band to implode.

point taken. but i wasn't very old at the time all that happened. all i know is i like alot of that stuff better than some of the stuff on the air these days.

besides soundgarden had a lot in common with bands like black sabbath and led zeppelin anyway who were uber-serious.

i don't disagree that those last two bands you mentioned are quite serious... but would you compare the grave seriousness of Creed, etc to them? it's a whole different mentality in music these days. i think it might be coming around, but then you see bands that make you want to Blow Up the Outside World (damn, i'm fucking witty)

Speaking of Puddle Of Mudd ... ugh. Kurt look alike, Nirvana sounding music ...

you definitely ain't lying
i remember when i first saw the music video for "Away From Me" last year, and I thought: "wait... isn't Kurt Cobain dead? and Nirvana's broken up... this is surreal"

true although i think a correction needed to happen around that point cause there were so many "hair bands" with wanky guitar solos and songs with the depth of pamela anderson. it probably went too far but i don't think there was any agenda from the seattle bands.

i wasen't very old either and i too like a lot of the stuff before it a lot better. i wouldn't have said that even a year ago but bands there really popular just prior to that like judas priest and queensryche and the gunners fell the by the wayside (the gunners imploded though). anyhow this is yet another thread that has gone way of course! lol

Well Creed took it further still with Stapp's very spirtual and insular lyrics. lol at your corny joke......

Okay.

U2 is overrated... and someone needs to tell Bono to that he's not a politician. He needs to stop snooping around important political summits telling people that he's the only one who's concerned about AIDS. U2's Joshua Tree material was great... now it's bland and repetitive.

Oh well that's a joke. He doesn't think he's a politician, he's the only artist out there that has enough balls to express how he feels about today's society. And if you think that Bono is selfish about AIDS, if you can see bad in the huge heart that the man has, there is something wrong with you. No offence.

Lol. It just cracks me up because he looks so much like Kurt, has the Kurt attitude in some ways.

80's rock is the daddy of all rock, nothing beats it. Compared to all of the new age 'rock' bands out there, no talent, no emotion. (In my opinion). Give me old rock anyday.
