Unpopular Music Opinions (singer, fan, quote)

^ I'm curious as to what Nu-Metal is good. ( Not saying you're wrong)

Also I have to agree with you that some Pop-Punk is a guilty pleasure of mine, such as Blink 182's dude ranch and Chessire Cat.

But I'm going to have to disagree with Foo Fightersbeing better than Nirvana, I think the Foo Fighters are pretty generic. Also I'm a big Soundgarden fan, talent wise I think they are better than Nirvana but I don't connect with them like I do Nirvana. Also, Soundgardens drummer is really underrated.

well, anyway, it's an opinion. and in my opinion i like Nu Metal, alot of it really has that kind of groove that i can get into . i guess it's a preference thing

as for who i connect with more, i felt much more with Soundgarden, especially on a album like Badmotorfinger than i have listening to Nirvana.

and Foo Fighters, i can agree they're not the most original band, but being original doesn't always mean being good. they're good at what they do, and that's better than trying to be original and ending up with a ****ty sound.

with that said, a few more

-Nu Metal is more groove dependent than technically, which may be the reason for some of the hate; some people just dont know how to get into a groove

.

-not saying every groove music fan is supposed to like it, it's all about preference really.

-"originality" is overrated. not saying being bland is better, but you can be an interesting and enjoyable group without having to change the whole music industry.

-although if you can do both, that's great

-Pearl Jam's album Ten is pretty "meh" to me. i much more like their other album Yield

-Synyster Gates is a really good guitarist, albeit a little sloppy.

-Limp Bizkit would've actually been pretty good if Fred Durst hadn't ****ed it all up

-Giant Steps > anything Miles Davis has ever done

-Stone Temple Pilots' musicians are very good and highly underrated

-BOB MARLEY ISN'T THE ONLY REGGAE ARTIST OUT THERE!!

-I'm really not into Dream Theater, but Take The Time is a great track. the rest of their stuff can **** off.

-Cynic need to be a hell of alot more recognized in the metal community

-Billie Joe Armstrong is a good guitarist, if you don't believe me look up the songs "At The Library" and "The Judges Daughter"

I gotta agree, Limp Bizkit has some pretty talented members minus Fred Durst.
What Nu-Metal bands do you like?
and one last thing, favorite track off badmotorfinger?

And to be completely honest, I don't think soundgarden and Nirvana are all that similar. Yeah they're both "grunge" but when you think about it, what do the Stone Temple Pilots and Mudhoney have in common?

Antonio · 09-12-2009, 05:22 PM

Korn, Slipknot, Mudvayne(L.D. 50 is a really good album)

favorite track off Badmotorfinger-Searching With My Good Eye Closed

That's interesting, from you're last.fm chart it looks liek you have a pretty eclectic taste.

Antonio · 09-12-2009, 05:33 PM

well idk, i like to give groups a chance. the way i see it, you can find what you like in any genre as long as you're willing to look.

Some good points all over but I'll point these out especially.
