Your favorite lyricists of rock

[superjimmyplus]

o yeah... Forget to mention Serj Tankian.

Zach isn't too good. I love RATM but his lyrics don't strike me as awesome, although he does have perfect pronounciation of every word. But yeah most of his lyrics were just straight foward, Kurt wasn't too good either.

 

[I Dream Of Writing]

ok, opium and tyler8durden, try to keep the personal attacks to a minimum, better yet, leave them out altogether. this is a discussion about the great lyricists in the industry, so why don't we go back to that. you've both taken shots at eachother, call it even, and get back on topic.

 

[Syeef]

He didn`t even write any lyrics , Geezer Butler wrote them all.

Well, first I would spell out worRAB so my statement would look educated. Second I wouldn't use ten perioRAB for a dramatic pause. Third, I wouldn't use the stupid smilies at the end of a "serous" statement. Fourth, he wasn't sucking his thurab he was guarding his face. Fifth, your taste in music sucks. Aside from a couple listed all the banRAB suck, lyrically and instrumentally. But what can you expect from someone with a name like your's?

 

[burbonas]

maybe both?? i'm unsure as well..

 

[Jack E]

what?? what do you mean?? I did answer the question...

 

[Carl Kneel]

I'd have to go with Ronnie James Dio and the Butler,Ward,Iommi trio.

Try not to hate me:shycouch:

 

[TorontoBlonde]

wow, I love lyrics..
I can't help but know lyrics to songs and once I do, the song (if the lyrics are good) means a lot more to me....

 

[Speedy Boarder]

Travis Meeks
Maynard James Keenan
James Hetfield
Mikael Akerfeldt
Johnny Cash
Bob Dylan
Ian Mackaye
Thom Yorke

Well, RATM was always a political band. It's hard to have really have deep, metaphorical lyrics when most of your songs are political rants. Some of Zach's lyrics were pretty clever, and a lot of RATM songs had really catchy choruses that still made good points.

A lot of Kurt's lyrics were just stoned nonsense, but that's kinda what I like about them. They don't make a lot of sense, so they're pretty wide open to interpretation and they're easy to mold into something that you can relate to.

 

[umaga100and7]

Same thing happens to me but it doesn't mean that much to me.....

[♥ ~*Hey Minnie~*♥]

blo0d brothers.

 

[questionslove]

I like Nikki Sixx because he actually writes about his problems that is in a way that doesn't go out to the world and say "I wanna kill the world"!

 

[justcan]

justin pierre
davey havoc
Bayside
Jim Adkins(spelling?)

 

[Mitch Rawlings]

You honestly think Zeppelin wrote good lyrics? :laughing:

EDIT: And KISS?

EDIT: And Ozzy?

 

[Due December 14th]

Steven Tyler writes most of them (The most apparent being the Draw the Line album where most of the lyrics are him bitching about the rest of the band) Perry chips in from time to time.

 

[Jeff N]

hahaha good one

 

[Mee M]

Actually, I'm female.

One last thing, jibber, before we can get back on topic: Tyler8Durden, I don't think you'd really hate to see my CD collection. From what I know, we share a few favorites.

I'd like to add the older Metallica and Manson, along with Tori Amos, to my list.
