Out of curiousity: Do you play guitar?

It doesn't mean you aren't entitled to your opinion either way, I'm just curious if you're coming from that perspective, or a different one.

Either way, Clapton's one of my favorite guitarists, but I love (and play) that old-bluesy-style of soloing.

yeah. people consider him one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived and i just dont see it.

have either of you boys heard the clapton & b.b. king album riding with the king. or his latest with jj cale road to escondido? i'm not a big clapton solo man myself, but when he does collaborations, he does them bloody well. love both those albums, worth a listen

they have a hook, that's why people like them. i listened to them back in the day(a year and half ago) when they were unsigned and just had a self titled album that they recorded in J-Ville. before you turn yourself off completely to them, see if you can find "20 hour drive", "home improvement", and a few original versions of their album songs. they werent quite as polished, and were much easier to get into.

oh i have known them since then i used to live in jacksonville, and they always played after my friend's band the sophomore attempt (they're still local to the area, you should check them out) i just never ever liked red jumpsuit at all, i mean sure they have a hook but its the simplest drumbeat, flat vocals (and not to mention a pretty average voice), a chord progression used much more eloquently in other songs, and not to mention the lyrics are absolutely shit.

There is a huge different between "not getting" a band and getting them but knowing they suck. For instance i dont "get" jazz but i dont like Relient K. I dont listen to either but one i can respect for what they do and the other just plain bring the suck.

thats what i'm trying to go for with this. thanks for your understanding.

a lot of people hate FOB and P!ATD but this thread isnt based on how much you hate a band but more of a thread about "i dont understand why people like Circa Survive so much"(for an example) i dont hate them but i just dont care much for them...i think they're kinda boring.

-Say Anything
-The Mars Volta
-Brand New (mainly their new album)
-Radiohead (everything after OK Computer)

-The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
-Korn

...i'll post more later after i get (if any) replies.

Well, in reply the Mars Volta, it's really the nice guitar Omar Rodriguez whips out that makes The Mars Volta for me.

Bands I don't get:

-Bright Eyes (I like Commander Venus alot, but conor can just go take his self inflicted emotions and his formulaic sobby guitar riffs and jump off a building)
-City Of Caterpilar
-Red Hot Chili Peppers (This band, I don't know, what the fuck do they play? Either way, it's not that great)
-Gym Class Heroes (Just because an OG looking black guy can wear guages and associate with scene guys, doesnt make them cool. Though, I'll be honest, a couple of their songs have been spotted on my mp3)
-Nine Inch Nails
-Ben Harper (Even thoguh I like his stuff)

That's about all I can come up with, because, honestly, I listen to stuff, and I don't get why I even like certain bands. So yeah.

Everyone I went to highschool with was really into Incubus. I've got three of their albums and I listen to them every once in a while, but I just can't seem to get into it all. I pretty much only like what they've released as singles.

Well, in reply the Mars Volta, it's really the nice guitar Omar Rodriguez whips out that makes The Mars Volta for me.

Bands I don't get:

-Bright Eyes (I like Commander Venus alot, but conor can just go take his self inflicted emotions and his formulaic sobby guitar riffs and jump off a building)
-City Of Caterpilar
-Red Hot Chili Peppers (This band, I don't know, what the fuck do they play? Either way, it's not that great)
-Gym Class Heroes (Just because an OG looking black guy can wear guages and associate with scene guys, doesnt make them cool. Though, I'll be honest, a couple of their songs have been spotted on my mp3)
-Nine Inch Nails
-Ben Harper (Even thoguh I like his stuff)

That's about all I can come up with, because, honestly, I listen to stuff, and I don't get why I even like certain bands. So yeah.

Bright Eyes
RHCP
Silversun Pickups
Seriously people.. Bright Eyes!?

04/05/07, 09:01 PM
oh i have known them since then i used to live in jacksonville, and they always played after my friend's band the sophomore attempt (they're still local to the area, you should check them out) i just never ever liked red jumpsuit at all, i mean sure they have a hook but its the simplest drumbeat, flat vocals (and not to mention a pretty average voice), a chord progression used much more eloquently in other songs, and not to mention the lyrics are absolutely shit.

They don't bring anything unique to the table.

So you care not for the fact that The Mars Volta have some of the most ridiculously intriguing and haunting lyrics written in the last 15 or so years? Weird. Sure, instrumentally a great band but their lyrics and the way in which they are delivered is to me just as important and enjoyable.

City Of Caterpillar are an amazing band. Please give them more time. They are so amazing.

Let me be quite honest with you, it'd take a long moment for me to interpret anything they were trying to say in the mars volta and At The Drive-In. They both have some, as said before, 'highy metaphorical' lyrics. Vismund Cygnus and Roulette dares were great songs. but the lyrics dont catch me like some bands.

CoC, sorry, isn't that great. I've tried them time and time again, and I get a lot of flack on this board for not liking them, and I've stood firm on this.

I agree with you to an extent about CoC, had they remained together they may have made a great album or continued the trend they did and made us all hate their music due to its similarity. What i'm trying to say is they may not have been as good as we think of them if they had made more than 9 songs (I'm counting the live stuff here), and really only "And you're wondering how a top floor could replace heaven" and "Driving Spain Up a Wall", those are the only two i enjoy and listen to on a consistent basis. The rest of their songs were branching out into styles that other bands did better, either before or after them. "Fucking Hero" and Kodan Armada, someone once pointed out how much KA ripped off that style, but most KA songs are more enjoyable and listenable than Fucking Hero is.

Fuckmaxbemis

Really? I hate fucking hero. The background yelling part is cool, but the rest of the song is quite boring. We had a rip off thread and someone said "every KA song is a ripoff of fucking hero" and I agreed with that statement, but didn't think it was really a bad thing, as KA songs are typically a lot better (But they get some hate here).

Just noticed you said mewithoutyou ? Wtf, i cannot think of two more different sounding bands.

i can definitely understand why people can't get into this band. i felt the same way at first, but they've grown on me quite a bit. don't give up on em just yet, man. :)

yeah, its like, i realize they are good and all, but when i stop listening i just don't have the will to listen to it again... but i'll search down their lyrics later and give it another chance. :)

I have at least a semblance of respect for all of these bands listed, (I definitely don't hate them) I just really don't like them and am apathetic to their cause. With the obvious exceptions of The Doors and DMB, the chances that any of these bands will mean anything in 25 years are horrendously slim.

why does no-one get bright eyes??? i always though conor wrote really relevant lyrics??

I really dont get why people like Fall Out Boy---> there songs mean nothing, their just phrases put together randomly.

RHCP are the most over hyped band in the world. their old stuff was alright but their new album??I cant understand how people can listen to it.

because he's one of those elitist punk rockers who thinks if it;s not punk...it must be EMO!!!

UP DA PUNX!!!!!!!!

Actually, it's called taste... Thursday is the most boring, bland, "I write deep lyrics and wear girls jeans" bullshit I have ever heard. Their singer is TERRIBLE too!!! Out of all the bands I listed at least some of the other have melodies... Thursday is shit and everyone should be ashamed of themselves if they like them.

Also, I don't understand why Deja Entendu by Brand New is so highly regarded. It is good, but I have to skip a lot of tracks including The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows a lot of the time. The Devil and God is a lot better IMO.

I don't know, maybe that could help some people, but to me Pink Floyd's music is just pure genius and beautiful. I don't really understand how someone couldn't "get" them, or enjoy at least a few of their tracks.

The Sex Pistols- why's everyone kiss their ass so much? They sucked and didn't invent punk, no matter how much "punxandrunx" on youtube tells me they did while calling me an emo prick.

Nightwish- My friend's favorite band. I just can't get into them...I prefer Evanescence.

i don't think anyone really kisses their ass, they just respect them. they weren't the best of the early punk bands, but they were one of the pioneering bands of the genre so they get my respect.

Nirvana is a band i can't stand, but i do have to respect the influence they had because a lot of the bands i listen to today were influenced by them.
