Songs you cannot stand

[RitchieDarling]

Anything that our secretary plays on her computer throughout the day!

She pretends to be very cultured. But didn't even know the national anthem had a proper name!

I have told her on SEVERAL occasions, that just because the "artist" has a name which is impossible to pronounce, does not mean it's good.

Ahh, one of those people.... I bet she listens to free jazz huh?

 

[RitchieDarling]

Ahh, one of those people.... I bet she listens to free jazz huh?

Oh yes. But her all time FAVORITE is "WORLD MUSIC".

She's always saying things like:

"Have you ever heard of Gumbala Abdullah O'Leary? He's a transgender African-Iranian-Irish singer who plays a mix of reggae and Australian bush tunes on an Appalachian dulcimer!"

And then acting very smug when we all say "NO" and look at her like she is from Jupiter.

She got mad at me once because I caught her listening to the band "Heart" on her iPod and told everyone!

Ritchie!!
That is fabulous stuff. Thanks for making my afternoon ... tell your secretary thanks too.

 

[Sub1 Zero]

For her birthday, get her Ride the Lightning by Metallica. She will absolutely hate it (one of my faves of all time )

 

[jongitarz]

Sorry, I was having a bad afternoon. Didn't mean to spoil the party. To get things back on track:

You know who drives me up the wall? The Grateful Dead. Oh, how I hate them, and all the horrible jam band wank-fests that they've spawned over the years.

Is that better?

I used to have a license plate holder that said "I'll be greatful when they are all dead" It was ripped off the car by some hippy.

 

[Sub1 Zero]

I thought hippies were peaceful??? lol

Didn't like three of the keyboard players die?

I believe that's right. The Dead go through keyboard players like Spinal Tap goes through drummers. Of course, even after Garcia died, they still kept going in various permutations. They're like kudzu. I know they're talented musicians, but their stuff does nothing for me.

I used to be in a band with a guitarist who was a huge Deadhead, and it screwed up his guitar playing terribly. He had a beautiful early 60s Les Paul Jr. (I think) that was an incredible rock & roll guitar, but he insisted on playing these wimpy, doink-a-doink-a-doink guitar lines. When we got him drunk and forced him to crank the distortion, then he sounded great, but he was so warped by millions of Dead shows that he thought he sounded terrible that way.

We had to kill him.

^ Better than my old drummer (if he counts as that) who refused to practice, and just stared with a blank face and said "uh huh" any time you said anything to him.... ahhh the memories

My entry into the thread

Anything from Tracey Chapman
(kill me and run me over 12 times, please) even then, my corpse will puke

Ashley Simpson (OMG, I would rather hear fingers on a chalk board)

I'm going to catch flack on this
Janis Joplin - a freakin cat stepped on sounds better... rough, cracking voice, out of tune, horrid pitch. People loved her cause everyone was on drugs.

Air Supply - (a punishment straight from Dante's Hell)
second on Queen's "Bicycle" and the evil Electric Slide

end of this installment. More to follow Yes, this is fun!

Big high five bro..........

"GOTTA MOOSH GOTTA MOOSH CAN YOU DO THE FANDANGO???"

what the H does that mean?

Hi Beth

The lyric actually is...

"Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango"...

Scaramouche is a character in a novel (and movie, of course) set during the French Revolution, and the Fandango is a dance (as well as the title of a killer ZZ Top album)...

Queen tended to use big words that rhymed and fit rhythmically - they didn't need to make sense.

Okay, class dismissed.

(There will be a quiz later...)

 

[grumpyoldman]

And now, back to the original topic of the thread...

anything by Nelly Furtado, Tragically Hip, Twisted Sister or post-Peter Gabriel Genesis.

 

[Jimothy JP7]

All Smashing Pumpkins. When they breathe, a part of me dies.

Garbage. Enough said.

Brian Setzer Orchestra and Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Swing should've been left alone.

Metallica while involved with Dave Mustaine. In fact, anything involving Dave Mustaine. You're acting like a robot? You're singing like a douche. And in every solo you feel the need to do that same decending chromatic run, just because it's fast, and thats what solos are for.

Slipknot. Used to love them, then I discovered music. Having 4 extra guys on stage just because you couldn't pick which ones of your farmer friends to leave at the mill doesn't make you're music full.

Trivium. Hey we're young and good at guitar. Let's torch all hopes of a promising career with some longevity and just rewrite a few Metallica songs with crap lyrics. Oh and lets write one good song that shows our Dream Theater influence, that way Dream Theater can hear it and write "Constant Motion", showing us to never try to sound like Metallica or Dream Theater ever again.

Shadows Fall. feat. a bear on vocals.

Ok that was a little off topic, as I'm supposed to list songs... next

Well, I would have said the post-Hackett Genesis. But, fair enough...... The Gabriel era was best..

No flak from over here! I wish Tracey Chapman's "fast car" would have run her over.

And Janis was just bad. There's really no defending her.

Garbage sucks... terribly, no arguement. Slipknot = crap. Dave Mustaine RULES! lol


I must admit, I am a Metallica/Megadeth fanboy, and I've enjoyed pretty much everything from both bands. James, Kirk, and Dave may not be up there with guys like JP as far technique goes, but they do make great music. They are all three better than me too, but I'm workin on it Ride the Lightning is one of my favorite albums of all time, and probably always will be

Not flaming ya bro, just an example of what one person hates, another person loving

 

[Jimothy JP7]

Agreed. I myself used to be a huge Metallica fan, busted my concert cherry at a Metallica show, my AIM s/n is actually r1d3th3lightn1ng haha. I kinda grew away from Metallica, I dunno if it was because I wore it all out or because I found Pantera and that took Metallicas place, but I'm not dissing on Metallica, I just don't like Mustaine at all. Not only as a guitarist but as a person. He speaks like he's some sort of gift to earth, at least from what I've heard, he's never satisfied with his music, like he's constantly trying to upstage Hetfield and the boys for giving him the boot, and IMO although he is a unique force in metal, I don't like anything about him, be it his voice or his playing. On the Gigantour DVD when DT played Cemetary Gates in Dallas with Russell Allen of Symphony X and Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory [don't even get me started on him haha], Mustaine comes out on stage on the second half of the solo [Petrucci plays the first half] and totally butchers it. He totally scraps the feel and the storyline of the solo and wanks a few extra measures of some fast tremolo picked stuff. I donno, I just don't find that respectable. If you're going to participate in a tribute to a fallen musician, it's not you're time to "shine", and you should adhere to the original points of the solo. After that on the DVD, when the song is finished, theres a little memorial screen for Dimebag with his picture on it and death date and stuff and it reads:

"Dimebag Darrell Williams 1965 - 2005"

Too bad his last name was Abbott, he was born in 66 and died in 04. Seems like Mustaine really cared about his project alot.

So theres my justification for my hatred for Mustaine. But, I'm a big Dime fan, so seeing that crap really sent me over the edge about him.

Again, no flaming from here either, glad we can agree to disagree
