It would be like Baba O'Riley or Behind Blue Eyes. They may not be the most interesting songs on guitar or drums respectively, but they're among my favorites on each instrument.

Yeah...


My opinion... Videotape by Radiohead is a bad album ending... it has a perfect cut-off point but it just goes on and it really IMO messes up the ending

The second part was directed at non-vocal instruments.

I personally think everyone that resorts to the "but it's called ROCK band!" argument when debating the inclusion of non-rock DLC should receive a prompt kick to the temple. HMX developers have repeatedly said that they will release DLC that is decidedly non-rock in nature when the time comes; stop using this crappy argument as a legitimate point.

/rant off.

Excuse me on that I'm a little slow today

I love The Who a lot, but I find most of the studio album of Who's Next to be very boring.

I like the songs, I just don't have anywhere near as much fun listening to "This Song Is Over" as I would say "Magic Bus" Live at Leeds.

EDIT: Oh, and before you post, don't believe I'm only talking comparatively speaking with their live albums. I also have more fun listening to "Fountain of Lamneth" by Rush than "Love Ain't For Keeping", though I still like the songs on Who's Next. They're just so boring...

I agree, the Who seem to have a better presence and seem to play better live (Entwistle for sure)

Entwistle plays good in the studio, but he's usually very quiet in the mix, which is very sad. However, The Who is and always will be the greatest Live band ever.

I disagree

Talking Heads or Alice Cooper > the Who

also,


Pantera is overrated

(runs away and hides in giant flame ******ant bubble)

While I respect him, since he is one of the few pop artists who makes respectable music, I've just never been fan of Prince.

I've always loved the Who's live energy. After all, they were probably the heaviest band of their day.

I don't know about overrated, but I'm not a fan at all. Not really a big Groove metal fan.

I'm checking out My Bloody Valentine...

By god this stuff is pretty good!

Not really, both are good in their own respects...

True thrash wise Megadeth wins... but Metallica has changed so much over the years it's really hard to compare the two anymore.

Too bad Megadeth wins on all respects. Old Metallica is still good, but Megadeth still stomps them.

Thrash Wise..

When comparing the changes

Youthanasia > Black Album

Load/Reload was better than say Cryptic Writings.

But Unite Abomination >>>>> Death Magnetic

I think:

(No Pussyfooting) is one of the best albums involving Robert Fripp.

Nursery Cryme is the best Genesis album.

Genesis>Rush.

Kreator>Megadeth>Anthrax>Testament>Metallica>Slaye r.

While I love all line-ups of Pink Floyd, I think the original line-up with Syd is the best.

Zappa>Gibbons.

I believe the Who surviving without Keith Moon is incredible.
I believe the Who surviving without Keith and John is an absolute miracle.

Why does this metalcore trend continue onwards? The bands all sound the same and pretty much try to mimic the Gothenburg sound. I mean, it's a good thing to draw inspiration from but, stop trying to sounds like In Flames already!

Not all respects. I can think of many things Metallica do better than Megadeth. Of course, the reverse is true also.

i think that metalcore, along with hardcore punk and screamo (all three being genres i previously pronounced dead), still display potential to be awesome underground genres of music (complete with innovative and exciting bands) again...

bands like steel nation, cursed, and the saddest landscape all display enough hope for me to forget about all of the crap that the major labels are pushing.

My Bloody Valentine is a ****ty emo band :rolleyes:

I don't know if I can full on agree with this, but I've been listening to a lot of shoegaze lately and I've been liking it a lot.

Mastodon is a genre now?

You're just asking for me to give you a yelling huh?

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be dismantled, pillaged, and burned to the ground how does Metallica get nomintated their first year of eligibility, but not Stevie Ray Vaughn? Also, how the hell does Madonna get in before Alice Cooper!

well, I wasn't necessarily aiming at you, considering there are many Pantera fans on the forums, but I can't see what's so great about them. I just see them as overrated, nothing wrong with all of you liking them, but where I'm from, all I've heard since middle school is how great Dimebag was, and he's no more special to me than Robby Krieger or Eric Clapton (both mediocre IMO)

This is my opinion mixed with simple analysis of the music.

-Metallica usually have longer songs. While this seems trivial, one of the characteristic elements of Thrash metal is the length. Thrash would often extend the length of their songs, to fit in multiple time signatures, and to help escape mainstream cliche's.

- Metallica generally have much more distorted instruments, another huge characteristic of Thrash metal.

- Metallica usually contains harsher, deeper vocals, as compared to the much higher pitched vocal style of the early Dave Mustaine.

- Metallica usually have better written lyrics.

- Metallica arguably recorded one of the first Thrash records, although much of it was thanks to Dave Mustaine.

- Metallica seems to change tempo's more frequently, although that is definitely up for debate.

Of course, I can say many things that Megadeth do better than Metallica.
