I would have this shit from day 1.

Really, the mars volta commits every musical crime a band can commit.

Whether it's cheesy vocal effects (sounding like the singer is drowning), overproduced shit (lead singer "singing" and while he's singing a choir of his voices going "Yeeeeeeeeeeah" pans from speaker to speak), endless boring guitar solos.. sorry, endless boring solos of every kind.. though, let's talk specifically about the guitar solos. This guy is such a shitty guitar player. Never have I heard a guitar solo he's done that has any sort of flow... none of them tell a story.. sometimes, he'll overdub 2 or 3 guitar solos on top of each other, all playing random ass notes, hoping to hit something good.

Etc.

Also, pinch harmonics.

There was a time when it was pretty cool, but backwards guitar solos are fucking annoying to me now.

rhyming "it" with "it"



and Phish rule BTW

Not so much a 'musical' crime but nonetheless: overpriced videoclips.

While I kinda agree with you, since most of the music videos I like have been simple and cheap (see any nearly Japanese rock band's music video), there have been some really amazing "overpriced" music videos of the years too.

Musical appreciation crime #1: trying to use 'hey guys, why don't we, like, be a bit reasonable?' as a criticism.

Shit has its place.

Nooo, you're effectively destroying two thirds of my CD collection!

I agree with more than half of the shit said in this thread.

Exactly my point.

I am also you. You are also Hitler. I am a chair. You are a cup of coffee. a Hippy? bahhumbug. Who said anything about being reasonable. I hate just about all of the bands in this thread. I'm just saying they aren't committing musical crimes, they are just being what they are.

If all you snobby punk rockers were really punks you wouldn't believe in crime.

PITCH CORRECTION

If you cannot sing in key, you cannot sing.

EDIT: Quite fitting for my 1000th post on the "new" board...

I agree 100%. It's not that fucking hard to get the right note, just redo the goddamn take...

lemmy? or does his not count because it's a beavertrap?

Jesse Hughes wears it quit good

What corgan did with the pumpkins:
bring em back with only one other original member and then fuck em up to the point where machina sounded good.
