i don't think Appetit For Destruction is a song, but the name of the album... (i listened to that album a lot... it was one of my first cassettes i've bought... now i think it's shit)

Feist is OK in my opinion.

Regarding The National I find them a bit boring, but still I wouldn't say they're bad.

I still like "Don't Damn Me".

I find pride in the fact i dont know who alot of these "young" bands are.

Sorry, I meant "Welcome to the Jungle" from Appetite for Destruction is one of the greatest songs ever.

And.. KoRn... completely original when they appeared. Totally alien and awesome guitar sounds, like a metal Helios Creed. Inventive bass and AMAZING drumming. The first two albums are great.. listen to the songs "predictable" and "good god"...

How and in what way can you say with a straight face that Korn was "completely original when they appeared. Totally alien and awesome guitar sounds, like a metal Helios Creed."

really? REALLY?

I agree 100%, even with the Korn bit *aaaaah!*
Appitite for Destruction has colossal bollocks, as does Korns first album even though they have been gutless ever since.
Its odd how i hate heavy metal in general yet i love GnR and Motorhead and the first Korn album.
Also, Deftones were fantastic rock music too

Rob, whenever I talk about something, I've listened to it. You know? I've listened to KoRn EXTENSIVELY, and I've listened to Helios extensively (solo and with Chrome)... I feel pretty justified making the statement I made. They're not near as inventive, but they did use completely alien and amazing guitar sounds.

So, really, why wouldn't I say it with a straight face? It's not some radical statement. If you don't believe me, dig up the first two KoRn records. Completely bizarre. Good stuff. My friend Lyrch is an AMAZING guitar player, he can play everything he hears by ear, he can play any Hendrix song or whatever, etc etc etc... and he also thinks KoRn were radical and amazing when they first started. So, I'm not alone in this sentiment. Not that it would matter if I were.

I'm just saying: I know what I'm talking about. I don't care if you disagree with KoRn being a good or bad band -- certainly, the first album is fucking GREAT, but... -- if you actually sit down and listen to them, they were pretty fucking cool guitar players.

And yeah, Deftones are easily one of the most consistently great bands ever.

haha, this is kinda funny, i consider you with to be the dude with the most interesing taste in music on this board, and the fact that you dig on korn and deftones and slipknot just adds to that notion. anyways, i really cant think anything about korn, but yes slipknot was ok and deftones white pony was good, i actually really like that song with the singer from tool.

Deftones
Korn

understood

From First to my chemical atreyufold

Haha.

Jared Leto (Shit) x Dude with white hair (Shit) = Shit^2.

korn sucks ass. they sound like boring NIN mixed with boring ass metal. "Something takes a part of me.
You and I were meant to be.
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me.
Feeling like a freak on a leash. (You wanna see the light)
Feeling like I have no release. (So do I)
How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light)
Nothing in my life is free... is free "
sorry. I hate them. It is like the scrawled angst of a twelve year old loser.
I hate the deftones too, and that fucker's stupid goatee. Their music bores me to tears. Like an "aternative queensryche."
I don't think anything Korn ever did is radical or amazing, but then again after 13 years of metal music I got pretty burned out man.

now, when anthrax and public enemy did Bring The Noise, THAT was radical and amazing. (at the time of course).

It dont, but ive gone back on many an opinion thanks to fashion abandoning certain groups (Korn, Deftones NOFX and Slipknot in particular). Nu metal had its moments, but i will always hate Linkin Park.

Edit: Im not saying you have, i mean my own personal experience

Hmm. Lots to say.

Um.. Rob, that's cool, I don't mind if you don't like them, but really, I still recognize them as a pretty important band. And I enjoy their first two albums.

batreleaser, thanks, I guess I have an interesting taste. I dunno. I just try to find the good in everything. I really fucking love Static-X's first album.

Ikara, I really enjoy a few "numetal" bands. AMEN, System of a Down's first couple of albums, uhm, Chevelle's first album.. I dunno. Lots of good stuff. My thoughts about SlipKnot was that their self-titled album was COMPLETELY individual, it was noisey as fuck in places and almost.. orchestral.. in other places. Like, they had symphonies of noise. Good shit.

I've always hated NOFX though. They had some cool punk type songs like "Linoleum" but I always thought Screeching Weasel were about a million times better....

hey atsonic, i think it is about time and place. music is ephemeral that way.

I love the Police , but I can see how people would hate them.

it is all personal taste anyways.

Korn can outrock limp bisquick or lincoln parks anyday


and slipknot did it right.
