Bands I Liked, Until I Heard Their Catalogues
| 1. | Korn - Remember being young, well I do (and still remain pretty young) and it goes hand in hand with being dumb. With the two best example of this being when I failed physics and liking Korn. When I was fifteen these guys spoke to me in a way any other band could have, but for some reason I picked Korn. The song I have in mind is the one about not fitting in, with the rapping and the endlessly repeating guitar riff. Now looking back at them is see four guys dancing around trying to convince us all the nineties didn't suck. |
| 2. | Mötley Crüe - Here is another example of being young and dumb. Remember the eighties? Well I don't I wasn't alive yet, but for some reason I thought the eighties looked awesome and who was more eighties then the Crue? NO ONE. I clung to them like they did to hookers, representing an idealized version of a time I didn't know. I only knew a few songs and really that's all someone should say when talking about this band. Upon listening to almost everything they ever wrote I realized that they might be the best shitty band ever. |
| 3. | Def Leppard - Sorry? Who's more eighties then Motley Crue...oh yeah, Def Leppard. When i listen to them I feel they were always just out of an arms reach of not pissing me off.(ba dum tiss) |
| 4. | Manowar - Here's a band that haven't changed ever and never will, I admire that. When I first found metal I liked power metal and now, well I'm not a child. The triumphant attitude attracted me so I downloaded (stole) a few of their albums from the internet and realised that their use of a formula make Nickelback look like experimental geniuses. |
| 5. | Helloween/Gamma Ray/Hammerfall - Not that these guys are bad they seem some what competent but as I said I don't like power metal because I'm not seven years old. The sonic equivalent of Frodo banging a dragon does interest me the way I thought it might. The reason they're all at the number five spot is I consider them to be extremely similar and realized I didn't like any of them on the same day. |
