Dream Theater has some really bad lyrics

I agree, but no one listens to the Theater for their lyrics anyway.

 

LaBrie's vocals are a little wimpy for me. Not as wimpy as Stratovarius, though.

my favorite example, from 'stairway to heaven':

 

"if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed, no

it's just a spring clean for the may queen"

 

i also think 'the end' by the doors has some of the dumbest lyrics ever. the oedipus part is cool, but there's so much asinine stuff in that song...

"the blue bus

is calling us

the blue bus

is calling us

driver where you taking us"?

 

"ride the snake

ride the snake

to the lake

the ancient lake, baby"

 

did jim morrison steal those lyrics from somebody's special ed class or something? i had a bigger vocabulary and a more sophisticated concept of meter and rhymes when i was 8. drugs are bad, kids.

Well, I certainly don't listen to the Misfits for their "excellent" musicianship.

I listen to The Misifts for the overall feel. And, surprisingly enough, Jerry's actually a pretty good bassist. He plays the bass twice as fast as most bassists do, doesn't use a pick, and one song they played last night (fuck if I can remember the tune, got kicked in the head a few times last night...fucking crowd-surfers) had Jerry literally flying his fingers all over the neck while plcking those strings as fast as possible.

 

 

 

 

Jerry Only = most humble punk rocker EVER

Isn't he also the only remaining member in the band from the original lineup?

i think i've heard he's the only original one, yeah. Oh and some primus lyrics are pretty retarded, but they kick too much ass to actually do a bad song.

Primus' lyrics are RIDICULOUSLY stupid, but that's really the only kind of material that goes with music like that. Songs about fishing, personal stupid experiences, and make-believe characters and places. Basically take the Residents, add in some Rush, and you've got it.
