‘coz livin’ wimmen must have drowned and killed you,
these like words in my head
scream are we havin’ fun yet?
yeaaha, yeehae, yeeaha, oh, oh
yeah, yeeaha, yeahha, oh, oh

I guess the pain from cumbersome lasted many years. Mid 90’s post-grunge there was a shitload bands all with the same sound.

Ah, I kinda liked Cumbersome - another fun one to play. But, yea dude - it’s that way in cycles throughout the history of the music industry. Early 80’s had a great new wave of metal bands, Like Crue, Quiet Riot, the first few Ozzy solo records, Ratt, Leppard, Maiden…then as the decade wore on you just got more and more watered down, dogshit versions of the same bands, with 1/4 of the talent - Warrant, Pretty Boy Floyd, fucking Britney Fox for god’s sake…
And it’s the same in the 90’s - decade started strong with amazing bands - Alice In Chains, Nirvana, SoundGarden, Screaming Trees…then as it wore on you started getting more watered down dogshit just humping the style with none of the substance…
Commercial rock music sucks these days for the most part. There’s no more guitar hero - not in radio rock anyway…I mean, you can look at the dude in SevenDust and shit, but really where’s the next revolution? Where’s the new Page, Hendrix or Eddie VH? Underground shred guitar is strong - the G3 tour, Joe Satch has a new album, guys like Andy Timmons and Paul Gilbert still produce awesome guitar work, but it’s totally niche.
I’ve been playing close to 30 years, played in a ton of bands both cover and original, used to practice 10 hours a day when I was in my teens and twenties, studied with some big name players, and it bums the shit out of me that guitar virtuosity went out of fashion in mainstream rock. I mean, there are flashes of it, but not the way it used to be.
The only thing that encourages me is seeing a lot of young players on youtube playing Rhoads, Van Halen and Vai shit and playing it well - they’re obviously really into it and these kids weren’t even born when the shit came out. I was 12 years old when the first VH record came out in 78, and I started playing at 13.
I hope we see the return of the guitar hero someday.

I agree 110%. That was the best post in the history of all posted posts.

Lol…thanks man.
The record companies are greedy bastards, and they just jump on the trend and wring it out with pale imitations until everyone fucking hates it and moves on. Hence the shift from hard rock & melodic pop metal in the 80’s to grunge in the 90’s. Stripped down, simple - especially the image.
It was cool and refreshing, reminiscent of Kiss and the New York Dolls when Crue did the glam thing in 82, but by the time record companies are pushing some horrific caricature like Pretty Boy Floyd 8 years later, something had to give. And it did - it always does…

Yes, yes it can. My prophecy was that they were going to be successful. So my actions were to buy all of their albums, contributing to their success. Therefore: self-fulfilling prophecy.
I’m over estimating the role that I had in their success but then again I am very important.

For page after page, forum members in the Bands I Hate thread have (for great justice) mocked, laughed at, and pissed on Nickleback for being the garbage ass band that they are.
For those of you out there that actually like Nickleback, please explain to me their appeal. I have rather diverse taste in music, but have never been able to understand why this band is successful as it is. Make an argument for them not being total crap.
[/quote]
I don’t love them, but I don’t hate the either. They’re background noise like most music. I’m a classic rock guy. you show me a band these days that people think are so cutting edge, non sell out etc. and I’ll find some band from 20+ years ago that did similar music better.
Sometimes people just want to hear some music without thinking to hard about it. Sometimes people want baloney sandwiches or PBJ sandwiches.
As I said in that thread, Nickleback isnt that bad. Couple of fairly catchy songs, not something I cant tolerate if it comes on the radio.
People just “hate Nickleback!!” because its cool to do so. Sad, really.
I used to jokingly rate music on the Nickleback scale, with 1.0 Nb being Nickleback itself. Nothing else gets that score. I might give the Foo Fighters a 0.98 Nb.
Oh, and I came to hate Nickleback all by myself, without thinking it was ‘cool’ to do so. I’m in Taiwan and they kept playing this CD at my gym and it had too much about “fire and pain and I was reborn into you” and all that crap…so I googled those lyrics to see what this shit was they played at the gym and the answer was Nickleback.
People hate NBACK because they suck just like people hated Creed who also sucks. I am in my mid 30’s so I like to think I don’t worry about being cool anymore. The radio forces garbage onto you and you are supposed to like it? “We all wanna be big rock stars and eat protein bars”

a. 67% of all statistics are made up on the spot
b. it is physically impossible to give more than 100% at any given moment. Even if you give more than you thought you could you’re still only giving 100%

This is an accurate assumption.
Didn’t Nickleback do something for the first Spiderman? I liked them then…

Did you really write this? RUSH is my favorite band, but…you…get…a…chub thinking about them? Maybe you’re being slangy here, but I’d stay away from this type of slang in the future.

Which one of these does not belong? (Here’s a hint…it’s the Slade cover band)
And dammit In the meantime I’ll just keep doing deadlifts X 3!
