lol they really don't make good music anymore,regardless of genre.the rock sucks,the rap sucks..been listening to the same bands my whole life
Yes, temple was great. Pearl Jam and soundgarden were great and nirvana was great. Alice in Chains blows them all away thought as you say. Tool is great too. That was a good time. Good music and less people surfing.
[video=youtube_share;Z2qUO6k0F34]http://youtu.be/Z2qUO6k0F34[/video] You're a goddammm idiot. He's without a doubt as good or better than Bonham as a drummer and the most successful musician post-most successful band since Paul McCartney. Just listen to the drumming in very ape and radio friendly unit shifter-it's transcendent. I also think that if you appreciate him as a musician, you can appreciate the path his music has taken from scream to now. He deserves his own wing in the rr hall of fame along with McCartney and Lennon. Go huff some more paint, moron.
I gotta go with your pier, Grohl is a badass mofo! Dude is super talented! You don't have to like his music, but as a musician, the guy is badass. He vacations here in DE all the time and apparently everyone of my damn friends have seen except me. dammit I did hang out with Judd Nelson for a bit one night in Dewey
Don't give a fvck what anyone says Gish was the best release that year. Can't stand most Pumpkins later albums with Billy's whining. Saw Alice and Chains more than once live and they were gawd awful. I'm pretty sure they were smacked out of their minds. IMHO the way music is recorded in this day and age suxs the life out of the music. Most music is over compressed and pro tooled to death. I've heard many bands live that I like but their recordings don't capture what makes them good. The Foo Fighters are a prime example to me. The sound of their recorded works sux to me but they are badass live.Temple of The Dog (E Vedders voice in general) makes me want to punch babies. Love the rest of Pearl Jam. If I could sing like Chris Cornell I'd be an even bigger a-hole! Just my random .02
Went in '92, '93, '94, and '97. If I wasn't hitting a Lollapalooza, I was hitting other summer rock festivals. Saw every band I wanted to see during this time period, except Nirvana. Smashing Pumpkins were cool until, "melancholy and the infinite sadness." That's some whiny sh!t right there... even the name of the album... WTF?
Anybody ever see Helmet live? Tight as a gnats ass. They could make you're grandma slam dance. Wish I coulda caught Nirvana live. So while we are on the subject of music what's the worst band/concert you've ever seen? Me, The Cowboy Junkies at The Music Farm. Acoustic, no amps, art ***s everywhere. Everybody was supposed to sit on the nasty bar floor and be quiet so you could here the chick warble. Aw the things I would endure for a chance of some nookie.
Depressing as fock. In fact driving around the peninsula is depressing as fock. Once you got out of the parkl it was miles and miles of clearcuts and stumps interspersed with poor depressed towns. At least it was in 95.
I miss men at work from 'down under' to 'its a mistake', catchy 80 tunes that you can sing along too...... but for 90's nostalgia, you gotta love pink floyd division belle toure I was 16 when they hit up the Vet, bummer I missed it
Back in the day yes. And I was huge Helmet fan, Meantime and Strap It One were fantastic...but Betty and everything after sucked. Went to see them a few years back, it was terrible. Tix were ridiculously expensive, set was super short, and Page was talking smack to the crowd putting people down. I wanted to punch him in the face. Never felt so ripped off at a show. They've come around 2x since but sorry, not getting my $$$.
Y'all that are complaining there's no good music anymore...there is you just won't find it via any mainstream outlook. Radio sucks. MTV doesn't exist. Ya gotta go hunt and to the leg work. Relapse records. If you like heavy music, you're bound to find something there. No cookie cutter, compressed, autotuned, record-exec lackey bands there. Saw these guys a couple weeks ago open up for Red Fang. http://whores.bandcamp.com/
Some good memories of the paloozas. Saw the weirdest pit ever break out when AinC was playing Sickman. Everyone ran off in different directions and left me and one other dude standing in the middle of the hill with no one around for like 50 yards. We looked at each other and said "wtf just happened?". Unintentionally KO'd a marine who was hanging on the outside of the circle pit cheap-shotting people. Vedder climbing up in the scaffolding and swinging like an ape 40ft above the stage. Ministry...epic. And yes, SP had some good songs, and Billy is talented and worked his arse off to get where he was, but he's the whiniest lil pr!ck ever.
I was in a mud mosh pit in '97 when Korn was playing. I was covered in mud so I stripped down to black boxer briefs and then put on a black bra that popped off a chick who had crowd surfed over me earlier. Was seen by a group of students from the school where I teach... It was the start of my second year there. I thought it might cause some problems, but strangely enough, it actually helped!
Saw them right after Betty released...band names Skeleton Key opened that had a trash can player...they were both great. Great crowd too, hard moving, but not stupid jock bear down slamming, you know what I mean? Worst band? Almost too many to name/remember but blink-182 opened for rancid (obviously small club, as they were the opener) voodoo glow skulls-awful. The get up kids...thankfully I got introduced to at the drive in though as the opener. Best all around shows- Blues traveler, soundgarden, pearl jam, Neil young '93 Suicidal tendencies, Danzig, Metallica '94 Branch manager, fugazi '95 Rhythm of black lines, at the drive in '00 Never made a lollapolooza, but wish I had. You know what your always disappointed? The warped tour. Great premis, but it always seems to miss for me
