The Obligatory "What are you listening to" Thread

The White Stripes are not shitty at all. Nirvana neither/nor/fuck this language


Pink Floyd - High Notes (live)

 

Don't worry about Malkavian Buxbaum. If the music isn't made in someone's basement by a bunch of thrashmetal guitarsheads he considers it crap.

Those of us with less close-minded tastes appreciate your input. Although my favorite Nirvana tune is Rape Me, but meh.

 

The only Nirvana song I haven't grown terribly tired of is Polly.

Alice Cooper - Poison

 

Rammstein -Mein Teil

 

No, I started writing this post while listening to Nirvana and Winamp decided it was time for The White Stripes.

N24 News Network - N24 News

 

Marilyn Manson - I Don`t like the Drugs (but the Drugs like Me)

 

Biohazard - What makes us tick

 

Why the White Stripes are horrible:

The drummer plays pretty much the same basic beat in every song.

Jack White, the talentless hack, could write a song about mayonaisse and ants, play a chord and then let his guitar feedback for 3 minutes, and people would think it's utterly amazing.

If you want to listen to blues, listen to Muddy Waters or BB King.

Also, Nirvana are pretty much a talentless band, with the exception of Dave Grohl, who is a brilliant drummer. That being said, they were good song writers. In Utero is a great album.

And don't come with that "but they're important" bullshit, because it's just that - bullshit. They aren't important at all. The only lasting impact they've had on music is the spawning of shitty bands that try to be them, like Puddle of Mudd.

Thursday - Paris in Flames

 

Meg Whites drumming is so popular because it showes that you don't need to play double bass @ 300 bpm to be a cool drummer. These are simple rock songs and the simple structure creates a quite lovely feeling

On the other side the band is mainly focused on Jacks guitar playing and his riffs are simple but they rock, too So the White Stripes are a cool band

Listening to:

The Doors - People are strange

and

The Whirlwind Heat - Purple (check out this song; a band that was supported by Jack White and they look a bit like the German band Tocotronic; and they play no normal e-guitar just a bass guitar and drums.)

 

"This band is cool because they don't know how to properly play their instruments!"

Sorry, doesn't cut it for me.

Every Time I Die - Jimmy Tango's Method

 

Speaking of people who can properly play on a guitar,

Jeff Beck - Eartquake

 

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Mastodon - Iron Tusk

 

Muse -- Plug in Baby

 

Hammerfall - The Champion

 

Darkane - July 1999, just changing to Edguy - Mysteria.

 

Kings of Convenience - I'd rather dance with you

 

You gotta love the soft and nice sound of Kings of Convenience.

But now theese days:

Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust

-M-

 

Charlie Parker -- Swedish Schnapps

 

Maybe they don't play their instruments the way YOU like it... I think that doesn't mean they are not able to play their instruments at all. Believe me, I know and like many bands who REALLY don't know how to play properly.
Enough of that...
