to qoute third eye from tool's aenima cd: see i think drugs have done some good things for us i really do. and if you dont believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor, go home tonite and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds, and burn em. because you know what...

yes sir

radrd you have made a very strong case. i especially like the point you made about the demo tapes. i am almost completely convinced. but this thread has not been a complete waste of time, because we were listing the biggest sell outs. given that all bands sell out, some do more than...

i must say that i am a fan of tool and listen to them often. the only thing keeping me away from seeing them is the fear that they will play the lateralis cd live. i love both undertow and anemia, but lateralis was a disapointment for me. maybe i need to take another listen.

good reply radrd you have me almost completely convinced. i guess there is a part of me that doesnt want to believe that musicians make music for the sole purpose of money. for some reason i put them on a pillar becuase they can create a miriad of emotions with juat a few notes or lyrics. but...

what do you guys think about the band at the drive in as far as a political punk bands go. love to hear your thoughts and ideas

i understand both you points and ideas, but in my opinion that only holds true for bands and artists like eminem, britney spears, n*sync, ja rule, sean puffy combs, etc. they got into the buisness for one reason and one reason olny, money. bands like metallica, nirvana, led zeppelin, ratm, ect...

Quote: Originally posted by radrd Can some one tell me the point of bitching about musicians selling out when that's what they did when they got their first record contract? The goal of these "artists" is to make money. People without the talent to make money at their art don't ever...

i have took a listen to the cd......to me he sounds like a poppy dave matthews. nothing im really interested in, but the boy can play a guitar.

the doors

metallica is another great call. i remember when they came out with the load cd and the back cover showed them with their hair cut nice and short (even had gel in it), smoking cigars, and drinking wine. that was the begining of the end. and then when they started bitching about napster, taking...

im just wondering if this thread has hit some kind of record for having the most replys and the most views. and if so congrats to darkangel for stating it

just found this thread and thought it sounded fun. anyway my pick is blink182. and although everyone thinks they are this pop wannabe punk band i really enjoy their first two cds (cheshire cat and dude ranch, and their demo, buddha) i think the lyrics are awesome (although a lot of them are...

carlo thats an awesome idea that i might steel from you......hope you dont mind. janis joplin, "me and bobby mcgee." this song reminds me of sitting in a bar at the age of 12 with my dad. he was drunk as **** and wouldnt leave until he heard this song. i spent the whole nite walking...

Quote: Originally posted by carlo mr pd, there's only two clash albums that are essential: the clash (uk version) and the clash (us version). deffinately have to agree. i find it really hard to sit through any of their albums after london calling. and sometimes i find that cd a...

mr. pd i heard you mention lagwagon and i have seen it before on this thread. i have heard of them but never heard anything by them. what do they sound like? any good?

Quote: Originally posted by XXhalberstramXX what is it you like about NOFX? i really enjoy the music that they have made throughout the years. their lyrics can make you laugh, cry, and just stop and think. and the acutall music that they put together sounds great and jusr rocks...

i would love to have a sit down with jim morrison. and yes i know he has been dead for almost 30years but that conversation would be mind boggling.

and after starting the punk thread i am so upset that no one named the clash.

im not sure if this was mentioned already and im too lazy to go through the thread to check, but how about the pumpkins - mellon collie and the infinate sadness Outdoor Man, im just curious about Capercaillie. are the vocals in scottish?
