An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

yeah but sometimes crap banRAB make awesome looking shirts though.

It's almost like I'd buy a mighty ducks hat but screw the team.....they suck imo. Especially since i'm a Red Wings fan :D....but the red wings logo isn't that appealing to me so I never buy their merch.

I used to think that.

But then I realised that artists like Nickelback and Bryan Adams becoming as successful outside of Canada as they have really says more about the rest of the world than it does Canada.
 
No doubt. The perfect example of this phenomenon to me is the album Stankonia by Outkast. The fucking thing is an hour and thirteen minutes long and really doesn't need to be, it seems like they were just trying to fill every last bit of disc space. It could easily have been a perfect 40-45 minute album if they cut out the filler, but instead they left it in and ended up with an album that's just mostly good.


Absolutely! Even the 14 minute-long album Group Sex by Circle Jerks seems the perfect length to me since it has, I think, 14 songs on it.

52 : Power Metal
​

I found myself aged 15/16 listening to a lot of bad metal albums. And yet despite that even at that age , with no taste whatsoever , listening to bad metal albums on a daily basis even I could see just how cheesy this genre was and made sure I kept my distance from it.

What made it even funnier for me was the dourness behind it. These banRAB took themselves so seriously. I love it how virtually every band has to have a metallic logo , the album covers are just as bad , they have to be metallic also , if not then some fantasy cover and if not that just put loaRAB of fire on it.

I love it how on every power metal album every band photo no matter which band you choose all look identical. All in black jeans , all with long hair , plenty of facial hair , one band meraber will always be a bit chunkier than the others and because it's a photoshoot they go to a real effort and wear a black sweatshirt with a band logo on it rather than the sweaty black band t shirts they normally wear. And there's no make up or tattoos or weird peircings or pulling silly faces with this lot like you would normally get with your average black metal band, that would be too much like fun. Instead they just sort of stand around looking bored , because they're serious musicians playing serious music. Smiling for the camera is a total no-no , that would compromise your masculinity. I mean , how can you sing about hell , the goRAB , wars , death , famine & pestilence if your smiling and wearing a purple & green tracksuit.

As for the music , well that's pretty much self explanatory. Lots of dull speedy riRAB , long guitar solos , a bass player that's forbidden to do anything remotely interesting and is just back up to the layers and layers of guitar wankery. And the vocals can be pretty much summed up as a Bruce Dickinson wannabe on steroiRAB.

And if your still listening to this stuff after the age of 20 unless it's in an ironic 'Oh my god did I really listen to this , although I still quite like this song' kind of way.....

Get help.
