Guest mesepher Report post Posted June 7, 2003 ok... this should be a fun thread. Since most of us here are music snobs and have great tastes: what are some of the most ridiculous things you're heard people say about bands/groups and music in general My friend just said this during our debate about Metallica and how much they've gone downhill dumbass: enter sandman is a tough riff! I'll add some more once this thing kicks off, I have a few great ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted June 8, 2003 Savage Garden's clichéd pop songs about lost love are the most meaningful lyrics ever, dammit! Fuck Lennon, Marley, and Dylan! "Man, The Misfits fucking suck. I mean, Good Charlotte is a better punk band!" - My friend Dustin after I told him to download "Where Eagles Dare" (he's a redneck).

God, stay with the times" Me: "Um, numbnuts, ever means OF ALL TIME, that includes the 60s, 70s, 80's, and so on....ass." Dumbass: "You are just mad Michael Jackson is a wannabe Usher."

Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted June 8, 2003 So, I was joking around with this girl at work, because she had never heard of Iron Maiden. I really wasn't *that* shocked, so I was just joking around, and we had this conversation: Her: "This is like when my friend got mad at me because I said I didn't know who Led Zepp" Me: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO LED ZEPPELIN IS? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" I'm going to skip the other 5 minutes of me yelling at her, and head right to the other girl that had this little piece to interject, when I accused her of also being foolish because SHE didn't know who Zep was either. "Well, maybe it's because I don't concern myself with material things like music." Later on, the original girl asked me "So, Led Zeppelin...what does he play?" Oh, and while I wasn't there at the time, I've been told of this one girl I know who once dared to ask "Who's that?" while looking at a picture of OZZY OSBOURNE. Oh, and then there was "Iron Maiden? They're death metal, aren't they?" And "Linkin Park is the best band ever!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Amazing Rando Report post Posted June 8, 2003 i love the responses I get when I say I don't like Kid Rock. They are priceless. Girls who don't like techno but say "I like music I can dance to" even though the rap they listen to is alot about treating women like shit and killing people.... when I mention this I get the best comeback EVER...

Guest mesepher Report post Posted June 8, 2003 this one is from our own message board: "who is more talented, Phish or GC?" hahaha. ----------------- here's a good one: shopper: where is the new Led Zeppelin album? clerk: I thought he was dead? ----------------- my cousin stated this one: dude, Dream Theater sounds like a hair band ----------------- my exgirlfriend: no one has ever heard of Frank Zappa because he sucks ----------------- my ex: what about Korn, they play a 12 string guitar, that has to take some talent. ----------------- my ex: I like punk now me: oh yeah.. thats cool. So you must be pretty bummed that Joe Strummer just died ex: (silence) me: you know, Joe Strummer of the Clash ex: who's the Clash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted June 8, 2003 people laugh and act like I'm a mad man when I say The Beatles are the greatest boy band ever That's because the Beatles is the greatest stoner rock band ever! The Beatles aren't stoner rock...man. Stoner rock is stuff like Grateful Dead and Phish. If anything The Beatles would be acid rock. Besides The Beatles had two different eras. The first era was boy band and the second era was boy band on drugs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
River City Rocker 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2003 I used to work with a girl who swore that Oasis was the greatest band ever. Eh, yeah. Sure. She wasn't familiar at all with the Beatles, the ones that Oasis takes great pains to imitate. This isn't musical, but I know people who think Denis Leary is a genius, and they've either never heard of Bill Hicks, or they won't believe that Leary ripped off Hicks right down to his stage mannerisms. A friend of mine once told me that he worked with a teenage girl who heard "Every Breath You Take" by the Police during one shift. She turned up her nose in disgust and actually said "I can't believe this lame band remade that awesome Puff Daddy song!" -Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Amazing Rando Report post Posted June 8, 2003 my friend: I love Metallica...i own all their albums... me: are you getting their new album friend: what new album? me: St. Anger...it seems to be very bland and poorly done...like everything since the Black Album... friend: well then i'm not going to get it... me: but you love them...and you own every album... friend: So...

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted June 8, 2003 I tell people that the Beatles are a boy band too. That then gives them hope that the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync can keep going and become more respected, but then I mention how the Beatles played their own instruments, wrote their own songs and had talent, and that pretty much dashes that.

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted June 8, 2003 I like it when I tell people that Ghetto Superstar samples a Bee Gees song sung by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

Guest BAR Report post Posted June 8, 2003 I know this guy Neil who comes up with the greatest shit ever, here's some of his best quotes... "Jason Newsted was 15 when he joined Metallica." "Kerry King is the greatest guitarist ever, Slash sucks." "Josh Homme is 38." "Nirvana are the greatest band ever." <Now he can't stand them. "Wretch is their best album, it's the only one that captures there live sound." <When it's actually the other way round. "St. Anger's a punk album." My personal favourite... Neil: "What albums have you got with you?" Me: "(Named a few albums) and Paranoid by Sabbath." Neil: "The single?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
