Lithium still is playing the same stuff over and over though. Like was mentioned here before, RHCP way too damn much.

 

Man, local radio in Southern California plays the horsefeathers out of RHCP. So horrible. (Same for Linkin Park, Blink-182 and Sublime. You'd never know there are good bands from here.)

That is the Mount Rushmore of awful 90's bands.

 

wait, what? Sublime? Awful? Are you kidding me?

 

you cannot put them in any category near Blink-182 or Linkin Park, who were really 00's bands, anyway. keep in mind that Bradley Noel's been dead for over 20 years, while a lot of other bands have been doing a poor job trying to rip them off. Sublime was the Pink Floyd of the 90's, you tools. the corpse of Noel can't help that the posthumous album has been greatly overplayed with his best work left off of it.

If Train makes my ears bleed, Sublime makes me want to seek out a dude too old to be on a skateboard and punch him.

sure, we all hate 30 year olds on BMX's and longboards. that's no reason to dislike Sublime, who actually wasn't a bland, milquetoast, studio band playing bland crappy music that sucked.

[Guest]

his acoustic version of "Zimbabwe" is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

 

also, "April 26th, 1992" is absolutely more pertinent than any song you've ever liked.

Can't we all agree that Uncle Kracker is worse than any of them?

Limp Bizkit wasn't bland either, but they still sucked. Dumb lyrics, typical 90's pseudo ska tracks, just popcorn alt 90's pop. But he OD'd on heroin so he is somehow a poet. Not the worst, but pretty bad.

Needs more Limp Bizkit. And Candlebox.

 

Limp Bizkit and other nü metal bands belong in their own Mt. Rushmore. Russ Hanneman's Mt. Rushmore, if you will.

 

That had him obnoxiously blasting Live in the newest episode, when he feels all betrayed and melodramatic, was perfect.

I will shamefully admit that Live was the horsefeathers when I was in college, and I loved that band.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm pretty indifferent to Sublime at this point, mainly because I never have to hear them, but I am bitter over one of my roommates in college being obsessed with them and dragging me to a concert by the Long Beach All Stars, which was apparently the sequel to Sublime? All I know is that Sublime was, like, 3 dudes, and this "band" had at least 9 idiots on stage making the lamest, sloppiest music you could imagine for a band selling out a pretty decent-sized venue. If I hadn't been told repeatedly that these guys were formed out of the ashes of Sublime, I would have assumed that their goal was to make everyone hate Sublime-like music.

 

Man, when you see/hear it a lot, you realize "Sublime" is a really bad band name.

I mean, I think I went through phases of liking most of these bands; some of them you just grow out of. When I was a kid I thought frozen chicken nuggets drowned in ketchup was the greatest food in the world, too. Things change.

The RHCP hate reminds me of the time when someone on this board hated Skynyrd because of Sweet Home Alabama. Yeah, they sold out and became more pop-y as time went by but there is more to their catalogue than their most mainstream stuff -- it shouldn't define them. There's legitimate musical talent as well.

well, you can't blame people for trying to recapture the magic of Sublime and turn it into a lot of money. that's how stuff works.

 

Sublime was driven by their frontman, who was, quite probably, a musical savant. he played rhythm, lead, wrote the songs, sang. it might as well be called the Bradley Noel Trio. After he died, there was no Sublime, they should have just had Sublime karaoke after that. the dude was magic and knowing people who had been to concerts, they were pretty special, because he was just as good in person as he was in the studio, and he had his dog running around on stage at every single one (which doesn't make it a great show, but is pretty cool). I have no idea what's behind the name, but who cares? Ken Kesey once defined concert-going as a search for the crack in reality where greatness reveals itself to you in just one single moment. He described a Beatles concert where he saw George Harrison pan the crowd, and everywhere he looked, the people moved in a wave of reaction. doesn't mean anyone's tending the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, it just means there might be a light. Sublime concerts had that magic, I'm told.

 

don't judge him by the Long Beach All-Stars.

[Derwood]

RHCP does have an uncanny ability to pick the absolute worst songs on their albums to release as radio singles. Give It Away is by far the crappiest song on Blood Sugar Sex Magik

you think Noel is revered because he od'd? it might add to his legend, but he was a talented, talented singer-songwriter that wrote better songs than the ones you like.

I smoke 2 joints in the morning..., and sublime is still terrible

Man, I don't know; the first song that came up on YouTube sure does just sound like a typical Sublime song:

Apologies. Clearly, Bradley Nowell is a better songwriter than anything I like. "I'd pop a cap in Sancho and I'd slap her dowwwwn" is almost White Album material.

yeah, because you're only a good songwriter if you don't write bad songs

"A cigarette pressed between her lips

But I'm staring at her [expletive]"

 

"So she told me to come over, and I took that trip

and then she pulled out my mushroom tip,

and, when it came out, it went drip-drip-drip

I didn't know she had the G.I. Joe kung-fu grip"

 

"One night in jail it was getting late

He was butt-raped by a large inmate"

 

Eat horsefeathers, Dylan. Go jump off a bridge, Lou Reed. Tom Waits, you might as well just hang it up.

ahhhh, I lost my virginity to one of those songs that I won't say which

and Mojo, don't Derwood this one.

[Guest]

Badfish, KRS-One, April 26th, 1992, Burrito...

 

are all better songs than anything you like.

[Guest]

I can say that with certainty, knowing what you like

[Guest]

or not knowing what you like, it doesn't matter.
