does anyone one here really hate...

[blaze666]

new music, ie the kaiser chiefs, the killers, the libertines? i really cannot name one single song that was made after 2001. this genre of music is not rock, it is a bunch of nancy boys, with thier designer tanktops (seriously, they ALL wear these!) and their abstract albumm covers, poncing about with their fast yet unmelodic guitar riffs, completly unvaried drum beats, and thier lack of guitar or drum solos it sickens me, it really does. they are all nice boys, with tambourines and piano's, (every band has these as well.) and lyrics that are meant to be really meaningful, and are sung by a camp moron wailingit out like a ballad, and on stage, doing that annoying thing, where they hold onto the microphone, and twist thier head around it, as if they are drunk and trying to support themselves. i could go on, does anyone agree with me here?

[Blackjack]

I like the Killers. Especially cause they were on the OC soundtrack and performed on the show.

[BusterStacks]

I really like The Killers because they rock.


Also the OC is gay.

[Popinjay]

Mr. Brightside is an awesome song

[fluxrad]

Meh. The Killers are tollerable.

Generally speaking, I'd agree with you that almost all new rock since '01 pretty much sucks. Except for Stephen Malkmus, of course.

[nothumb]

I used to have the same problem. I solved it by not listening to anything made after 1995 for a while.

NT

[blaze666]

yes, stick to classic rock, like aerosmith, and guns n' roses.

[Soul Daddy]

I like them all.

[Tron]

Good point about the lack of solos... I suppose I never really noticed it, but I just thought about it and I honestly can't think of one in the past several years. Guitar solos are sweet, there needs to be more of them. Drum solos are even sweeter.

[Eurotrash]

haha, I know what you mean. I love opening OOT music threads and seeing the discussion go a little something like:


oh, well <obscure band>'s <obscure album title> is obviously the best of the year, is it even close?

and then somebody chimes in with:

well <other obscure band> is awesome too


for an example of this phenomenon, see this post (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2514149&page=2&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=14) /images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is where I must disagree with you. You are absolutely and completely incorrect.

No, you idiotic jackass, we listen (some) of those bands because we like them.

Most of us listen to KELLY [censored] CLARKSON for God's sake.

Dude, you're just growing older. That's all it is. The gradual dropping out of sucking on MTV's teat to find out what your own personal tastes are. When someone says "all new music sucks", 99% of the time it's just a symptom of growing up.

Besides, if you want to find good new music, all you have to do is look. I mean, RL Burnside alone released what, like three new albums since 2001, and he's bad-ass.

[blaze666]

yeah, i agree with that, most people like what they are used to.but most people my age like these bands (im 14) i suppose im an old fart living in the past. and anyway,
g n' r were around before i was born.

[Jordan Olsommer]

Wow.

Thanks for making me feel ridiculously old.

Uh...

Er...

SHOULDNT YOU BE DOING HOMEWORK OR SOMETHING?

I've got the stupid "indie" in my name, and theres only one or two good bands you listed. (snow patrol is friggin adult contemporary for chrissakes)

Kelly Clarkson ROOOLZ!

[The once and future king]

I dont think these bands when writing there music thought "Hmm lets make some music that fans of Guns and Roses and Aerosmith would realy appreciate."

So the fact that you dont like it isnt much of a surprise.

Also just for the record Guns and Roses and Aerosmith = commercial pop rock = sh..it.

[poker-penguin]

the lemons, monkey heroin, supersystem, Joe's Garage, F train, and 22nd street

are all great

Don't care to read the second half of your post, or any of the responses. I like the Killers, but haven't heard of the other bands you mentioned. Maybe I'll check them out now. Don't waste your energy hating new/popular things, it's really not worth it.

[Your Mom]

For the most part I agree. The killers are awful.

Hurrah!

If you like RL and Junior Kimbrough you should check out Richard Johnston. He does some pretty cool arrangments.

One of his songs: Do the Romp (http://www.richardjohnston.com/audio/RICHARD_JOHNSTON-Do_The_Romp-3.mp3)
Also Check out Work me Baby if you can find a full version. (all I could find were partials)


His Site (http://www.richardjohnston.com/home.html)

If you can see him live do it. He plays both the guitar and the drums at the same time. It sounds like hes got a three piece band but he does it all by himself.

Yes most of the new music sucks and the nancy boy remark is pretty much on target. However I too like the killers and do not include them.

I disagree with your post in general, but while I may not agree with what you say, I'll defend to the death your right to say it. I quoted a line I found interesting, however - I suppose Steven Tyler has never done this 'twisting around the microphone' thing? /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

[blaze666]

you got me there... but the crappy boy band version is doing it to try and make the lyrics sound more meaningful, which is stupid, and stephen tyler only does this during the ballads (which i never liked anyway)
