No fuckin' doubt, everyone around here seems to dislike them, even though Aerosmith pretty much "stole" their entire image and sound (well, except for the cross dressing).

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 Black culture needs to get over Elvis Presley, because he was all he's been said to be, no matter how much they whine. Fuck Little Richard. A lame southern gospel singer who couldn't act or write his own songs. He sure was. You clearly understand nothing of the mythos. The fact that he couldn't act was one of the best things about him. Ask Eddie Murphy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5_moves_of_doom 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 Just as a note, it always really pisses me off when people today complain about how some pop artists suck because they "don't even fuckin' write their own songs" when many of the Elvis-esque acts of way back when didn't write their own material either. And these people typically love Elvis. "Dude he has SOUL." By the way whoever was putting Elvis down should stop trying to swim against the tide and just accept his awesomeness.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 You'd look like a dork, I think, so that's ok. He's not for everyone. It's not the music though, man. That's why it doesn't matter that he didn't write his own songs. He didn't have to. That's why he was awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 His stuff in the 50s was actually pretty good, and like you I don't go in for a lot of that stuff. 60s was bad. 70s was campy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I own his first record, and I put it in from time to time and it's relatively enjoyable, but really, it's the persona that makes Elvis so awesome. I might just like '70's-campy-fat-Elvis the best because that's when his persona/icon-stature was most interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 At The Drive In What the f happened to them? I have their 2nd cd somewhere They split up. Some of the members went on to form Sparta, while the lead singer (and maybe another member or two) created The Mars Volta. The Mars Volta's new CD, Frances the Mute, is on sale for $6.99 this week at Best Buy. I got it and it's pretty good. I'd recommend picking it up. As for Elvis, I was not a fan until I went to Graceland and saw everything there, heard a lot of his songs, etc. I now enjoy Elvis. Some rock bands I like (although there are many more): The Doors Green Day Metallica Nirvana Stone Temple Pilots Led Zeppelin Allman Brothers Band Days of the New Lynyrd Skynyrd Guns N Roses Black Sabbath The Ramones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
