Music forums like a lot of forums are quite specialized in that they’ll attract hardcore listeners who have listened to a huge and wide variety of music and between all of these listeners they’ve more of less covered everything out there and will usually disagree on what’s good etc. But one thing that they usually do have in common is what’s bad. Most serious listeners will agree that bands like Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, Creed and a band like Bush are crap bands that should be avoided, but that’s not to say that some serious music listeners won’t enjoy them. So you may dig out some Bush fans on here but don’t expect them to be flooding the thread.

I am smug when it comes to music, you’ll find that on a lot of forums, just never take it personally.

Sure you can do it, but it won’t work as evidence in court as everybody knows it already.

Pounding Decibels- A Hard and Heavy History

I like both, i always liked Bush but i prefer Nirvana over them cause imo they had a better defined sound.

Bush i liked but i never quite figured out what is their signature sound, they could go from a heavy song to a ballad and they do it well but idk i still prefer Nirvana.

Vocal wise Gavin has a more melodic voice but Kurt has a better screaming voice that portrays more angst than Gavin.
To me Gavin wants to sound good while Kurt is just looking for a build up to scream something and i prefer that. i prefer nonsensical screams over refined singing.

Rhythm wise, Nirvana is better.
I prefer them cause they set a darker mood with their songs where as Bush takes a more conventional approach.

i actually do prefer Bush lead guitars cause they sound like Joey's lead guitars but in terms of a more unique music arrangement i prefer Nirvana.

One last thing, Bush is in no way a Nirvana rip off band.. idk why some ppl say that.

Gavin is the better singer, but I understand why many others prefer Kurts vocals, some of it has to do with what you described, some of it doesn't. And this is what this thread was meant to be, just a topic to discuss who people prefer as a singer, not a 'Bush ripped off Nirvana, they suck, die in a fire' type of topic haha. It's all good though.

It's actually easy to call Bush a Nirvana rip off, I could name maybe six or seven songs right now that sound like Nirvana could have written them; Little Things, Everything Zen, Swallowed, The People That We Love (to a point, but not as much as other songs), and that's to name a few. People also thought Bush borrowed or ripped off guitar chords as well...

I always prefered Layne Staley as a vocalist. His voice resonated more feeling and emotion in my opinion.

Just watched Mad Season: Live at the Moore, on TV this afternoon.
Forgot how good Staley sounded on River Of Deceit.

Chula Vista

Agreed. Plus the harmonies between him and Cantrell were killer.

But we're not talking about Layne! He's better than Gavin and Kurt, combined. Unfair you two, so unfair lol.

But since we're talking about Alice In Chains...

Thoughts on their new vocalist? I think he's alright. But just alright.

Frownland

Agreed. Their new music isn't really noteworthy either. I'm a little biased by only really liking Dirt though.

I've never really Iistened to the guy, other than what I've heard on the radio a few times.

Why did they choose to call themselves Bush? I've always vaguely wondered.

I think it is in reference to where they are from in the UK.
