Nathanblake719 babbles about bands he doesn't like

Oh yeah the 2000's definitely had some great rock albums but it was far less than the previous decades. I remember when I first started getting into rock in the mid 2000's when I first heard BYOB BY System of a down I thought "These guys must be satanists" but now heavy music like that to me is like relaxing ocean sounds. It's just easy to listen to. Rock was still reasonably healthy at the time with American idiot by Green Day and System Of A down doing well. I remember that's when I first heard My Chemical Romance with the song Helena. I liked their first album but then they came up with that **** concept album Welcome to the Black Parade and Gerard Way cut his hair and dyed it blonde and they wore matching outfits and stuff. I didn't like them after that.

I don't see how they are in any way different from the boring bands you rightfully **** on in this thread.

Well if those bands I like aren't good than I don't know what is. To me they aren't irrelevant
like allot of the crappy bands my friends like. They had a huge impact on rock and music their music is still remembered and they've inspired me to do what I do so I think they must be good. I think there's definitely a difference in quality in the bands that I like and the bands that I listed as being overrated.

If SOAD counts as rock too, then it's a whole other picture. Then I'd say there's tonnes of great rock music happening now.

When I think old school rock music, I tend to think more along the lines of Chuck Berry.

Yeah SOAD are definitely rock. They're probably best described as alternative metal, sometimes labeled nu metal. Well in the 2010's I've gotta say I cant see much good happening. It's pretty non existent right now but I'm hoping that things will pick up for the good of mankind because Camilla Cabello sure isn't gonna come up with anything worth remembering.

The reviews on their 1994 album Live Through This sum that up pretty well. Courtney Love rode the wave of fame that she was lucky enough to get. She milked every drop of fame that was left from being associated with Kurt Cobain well after he died. The fact that she became an A list actor in the mid to late 90's sums up the ridiculousness of the time period. Would that ever happen again these days..... **** no. With ****ty hits like Malibu and Celebrity Skin Hole managed to achieve modest success but by the end of the 90's just like with Courtney Love's acting career faded away. The albums that are considered Hole's best work are even rumored to not be written by them. It's rumored that Kurt Cobain wrote the material for Live Through This and Love even admitted that Billy Corgan wrote Celebrity Skin. Other factors in Hole sucking are Courtney Love's ****ty vocals. She sounds like ****en Nelson Munts.

Kings of leon. Kings of leon started in 1999. They became really famous and successfull in 2008 with the album Only by the Night and the hits Sex on Fire and Use Somebody. I remember actually liking Sex on Fire but getting sick of it really quickly. Then after that Use Somebody came out. I didn't like that song much. They overplayed that ****en song so much on the radio and on tv. All this hype about the band led to people considering Kings of Leon the most popular new rock band in the world. In 2010 they released Come around Sundown which everybody thought would be such a great album considering how good Only by the Night was(not really). I heard the album and there were no hit singles. They released a single called Pyro which wasn't very good and the only track I could tell that was even a bit interesting was called The End. The album was a disappointment but it showed what became obvious which was the bands career was built on hype that they could never live up to. They only had 2 songs that people gave a **** about and those weren't even that good. Eventually the band just faded away from popularity like all fads do.

To be continued. Lots more bands will be mentioned in future posts.

Please don't.

The 80's and 90's were the golden age of rock.I wish I were around in those days to experience it live. I also Like The Doors and Jimi Hendrix those are my two favourite 60's rock acts.

Bolded: bit stuck for words, are ya?

What is it with you and Nick claiming rock died in [insert decade here]? You see why we compare you to him, and why some of us thought you were him? Why do you feel it necessary to tell us what bands you think suck? Most people here tend to recommend bands, try to get people into them, not just spit vitriol in their general direction. Ah, guess it's pointless talking to you. Or Nick.

Yeah you're right I wouldn't consider it old school either but sometimes I feel guilty for not liking allot of newer bands and I feel the need to justify my tastes . I'm not sure what I would like from the last 10 years The Script, Imagine Dragons, Snow Patrol, Panic at the Disco,Fall Out Boy, The Black Keys, Yellow card, Plus 44. I wouldn't listen to those bands if someone paid me.

I don't know whats wrong with saying the same line in different posts but ok. I never said it did die. It's still alive in the hearts and minds of fans around the world but Khalid is the new rock star of our times these days. Drake is considered a ****ing genius of music. That sums up the times we are in right now. Go ahead compare me to nick I don't think hes a bad guy he's just sharing his biased opinions hes not hurting anyone.

No offense, but I think you need to actually try harder and check some more things out. You're guaranteed to find things you will like if you actually try.

No trying = your view will stay the same.

This is a dedicated music forum, so the "everything sucks now and I'm not even gonna try" attitude is pretty opposite of how everyone else in here thinks.

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again: If you don't think there's lots of great music coming out now, you're just not paying attention.
