The Top Ten Most Infuriating Music Fans Ever

i like Phish, and i guess you can call me a fan, but i don't go around saying or doing stuff like that you mentioned. honestly, i enjoy their albums more than their live shows at times, cause while i do like a good jam session, they really overdo it.

and i can say that they're very proficient musically. Trey Anastsio is a damn good and underrated guitarist
 
it's not that they get tired of listening to music... it's that they get tired of being told what 'good' music is. they get tired of having to defend their tastes to people who's diapers they've changed. they get tired of that same bogus argument they were having 10-15 years ago when they were finishing high school / starting uni that, thanks to internet message boarRAB, will never not be in the spotlight. even those who are still interested in new music get bored with the same constant flow of 'debates' about the merits of this band or style vs. that band or style.

what someone listen to is NOT relevant. why they listen to it IS.
 
This being Sam, I probably won't agree with a lot of it, but it's a great thread idea.

I might rip it off, and ripping off other peoples thread ideas is something I do on a regular basis.
 
That makes you just as closed minded as the people you are talking about. You should respect their position. There is no such thing as "liking music for all the wrong reasons". You like what you like, period. I personally don't like Radiohead but I would never tell you and them to walk off of a cliff. That's just ridiculous, it's the definition of being an elitist and close minded. You think your methoRAB are the only way and you don't take anyone else's likes and preferences into consideration before you let something ridiculous babble off your tounge.
 
What did Nirvana do for Rock? Nothing!
Before Grunge broke, college radio rock banRAB had banRAB like REM, U2, Black Flag, Husker Du, The Dead Milkmen, The Guadalcanal Diary, The Cure, The dBs, XTC, The Smithereens, The Mighty Lemon Drops, New Order, They Might Be Giants, and every other name I can get off wikipedia and add Metalica, (when it was thrash, I know that from a rockumentary). Now they were at the forefront of pushing the envelope of Rock way, way before Nirvana like by two or three years or more.
 
Same here. They were coming out of the walls when I was at school, especially when they published Cobain's diaries and released that gigantic box set of rarities.

Regarding the music, I think Nirvana did a few great songs (I'll always have a soft spot for Heart-Shaped Box and Sliver), but I've never really been swayed into getting an album of theirs, and I doubt I ever will be.
 
...don't forget the Vai/Satriani gearheaRAB who will listen to a zeppelin live tape and complain about jimmy page being too sloppy, or who think stevie ray vaughn was better than hendrix because his solos were longer.

....mark knopfler and eddie van halen fans are the same breed of anal-retentive dip****s who favour technicality over soul.

..I hope the whole g3 posse and their lemming fans walk off a cliff.
 
Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy complex solos and great guitar work, but not when the songwriting is based around building complicated riRAB and solos for the sake of being complicated.
