Hate the "Greats"

Haven't seen Venom anywhere here when talking about music that sucks...
 
I know one thing for sure. I write my own songs. I spend days recording them. I mix and mix to get it just right. I have great equipment to allow me to do this. Then, when the master CD is done, I listen very critically.



You know what?

I suck big time.

So, I must need better equipment because I cannot accept that I suck.
 
Venom/Suck big time

Im sure your being VERY harsh on yourself mate. Its SO easy to be over critical of your won music. Honestly. What i HAVE done is recorded sumthin in a mammoth long session at home,,,,got it just right,,then played it next day and felt as if i had gone feckin deaf the night before cos of the mix id done!
By the way,,,,i LKE VENOM!
First 3 albums,,,,classic comedy black metal! I love the pic on the back cover of the first album where they are oddly on a beack tryin to pose all eveil and nast with an axe and growling faces,,,,but Cronos has a apair of Adidas Kick trainers on,,,which kinda spoils the satanic vibe !
 
my $0.02

Pink Floyd is absolutely wretched. Great songs, but they're all 8 1/2 minutes too long.

Anything 70's and corporate (Frampton, Boston, Journey, et al) is second on my "fun list" right behind "stabbing out my left eye with a hot rusty nail."

The Eagles are pig vomit. Never have I seen so many talented individuals do so little quality work.

Santana. Vile, vile, vile. I'm guessing someone's gonna slap me for that, but you gotta stand by your principles.

Yingwie. I think that's Sweedish for "I'm a pompous, talentless hack." Big freaking deal, he knows math.

Nugent sucks. Kiss sucks (Show and all..if i want to see a circus, my money goes to barnum & bailey every time. At least they've got hot female gymnasts). Hall & Oates suck....wait, I guess that goes without saying.

Page was a musical genius, but his guitar playing often left something to be desired.

I'm out.
 
you all suck. i hate everything you guys ever put out. you're so overrated.
 
suck?

Topic Review (Newest First)


"RecTechMin you all suck. i hate everything you guys ever put out. you're so overrated. "

Oh yeah? Well i will have you know that NONE of my records were released,,,,,,,,,"THEY ESCAPED" !
 
I dunno Toker... the whole object of this thread is kinda vile... it's like placing a single & desperate handsome man in a club full of beautiful willing ladies, and telling him he can't look at them or touch them...

Stating what you think that sucks, without having the opportunity to defend your points, when someone else disagrees is just lame.

So first, I dunno what's with you fucks, but why do ya hate Boston? Because Scholz plays better guitar, keys and produces better than you??? Jealous losers... Yes, it's slick produced, but I rather have a slick production which can truly showcase the talent and songs, than having a crappy (wannabe 'vintage') production, for the sake of being retro (re: White Stripes).

I agree with the poster that said that KISS gets dissed because of a few lame well-known songs, while they have many great songs.

So, Toker, fuck me in the ass and call me a bitch if I'm not playing according to your little (dumb) rules... It seems almost as though you have problems with control and megalomania... YOU want to rule things... get a freaking ant-farm and some gasoline... :rolleyes:

Anyways, here's my suck-list:

I hate the kind of bands that people listen to, to make themselves look more intelligent (usually what a lot of jazz-wannabe's do...), you know, the kind of bands that seem original and fresh, yet if you dare to look a decade or so back, they're just another copy...

Coldplay, Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, Smashing Pumpkins.

also I really think Bob Dylan is way overrated, as with a lot of those psychedelic folk-songwriters... man, they themselves probably think their lyrics are just words glued together, that will only sound 'deep' or intelligent if the beholder wants them to.
Bruce Springsteen... take away the husky voice and you'll have empty pop-songs and a lame-ass guitarplayer.


Oh, and another thing about Yngwie Malmsteen;
someone said he had no talent. BULLSHIT! You may not like him, and think he's too much "meedley-weedley-sweepey" (I think so too for 60%, the other 30%=Richie Blackmore and the last 10% is great tone and vibrato), but playing stuff like he does REQUIRES talent!!! PEriod. No discussion. :mad:

Look, if you were to say that Kurt Cobain has no guitar-talent, I completely agree... the stuff Cobain plays, can be tought to almost any monkey with enough memory for
a) a barré chord
b) open-string licks

but sweep-picking solidly at 200bpm requires goddamn talent, skill, determination and practice, o.k.?

Like I said, you may not like it (I can fully understand, it's not the most musical approach to a good guitar-solo), but not everyone can pull it off.
 
Know what, I'm tired of assholes that HAVE TO ARGUE. So how 'bout you just blow me???? Get off my f**king back, if you don't get the thread, why bother to get on it? To many fucking assholes come here and bash the thread just to throw shit around, and then want to take part..:o

OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR........
THIS is the kinda thing that ALWAYS ends up happening.
Even on the most civilised of forums.
Its pointless lads. Just agree to disagree instead of the virtual boxing match we are getting here.
On the other hand of course,,,"why dont i go and fuck myself"?
Just thought i would save anyone else the trouble of telling me.
 
Monster pop,
You don't need to fuck yourself. You make a good point. The whole reason I asked for this not to be a debate thread (and I even said "PLEASE") was becasue I wanted to avoid this very kind of thing. I have heard a million times why people love the greats, but whenever someone starts to give another opinion they get shot down, and it turns into a "you don't know what you're talking about" arguement and I never really do get to hear what people DON'T LIKE about the greats. Thought maybe this would be a good way to get to hear a few of them, but there is always going to be assholes that just HAVE TO START SHIT. If I asked "how do I mic a snare drum" would you expect people to reply with post about bass guitar? So why then when I ask what people don't like do I get idiots that jump in and post what they DO like? Answer....some people just HAVE to start shit
 
Damn Toker, you really show some stupidity here. This is in no way similar to a "how do I mic a snare-drum" thread with answers about micing a bassguitar.

You asked for "who do you think sucks, that are usually regarded great", and made a rule about not being able to argue!

That's like I said, putting a handsome single man in a club full of beautiful NAKED willing women, and not being able to look at them or speak with them.

You come here thinking you know all, well, guess not! This is a mutherlovin' DISCUSSION-FORUM, not the "I'm Toker41, I'm the egotistical megalomaniac and I decide my rules here".
That's solely up to Dragon and maybe some other mods, get it?

So fuck me if I don't play your game correctly! :mad:
There's a difference between an opinion (e.g. "I think Malmsteen blows dead goats" and a pure lie (e.g. "Malmsteen is a talentless hack")
And yes, I didn't really argue about the opinions about Boston (I merely questioned them), but I DO put a halt to it, when someone is outright telling lies as facts!

Get it NOW Toker? Huh? Or is your ego too big to let DECENT information slip through to your brain?
 
hate

ok then mate,,,i see where you are coming from a bit anyway.
theres a lot,,,,a LOT of greats that are worthy of hate i agree.
Dylan,,,REM,,,a lot of these bloated rock stars in fact.
Im just saying that despite what you said in the original post,,,you MUST have known people would come on and try to challenge your opinions man?
Ultimately thats what these kind of forums are about isnt it?
Discussion ! Anyhoo,,,fair enough mate.
thats your opinion and you gave it.

I think this is a good thread to be able to vent how much you thought a certain 'Great' sucked. Because it's not like I have never said KISS sucked before ;), so that's perfectly normal. To state why they suck is even better (the whole KISS thing was built first on imagery, secondly on music, therefore musically they suck). But to get pissed off about it is pointless.


:D
 
?

Wow, you really are an asshole. Thought for a second I might be wrong about that....but guess not. You are also not very smart, but I don't really care much about that. You know NOTHING about what I think, and your statement about me coming here thinking I "know all" is way out of left field, and kind of pompas. I never tried to make any "rules", I simply asked "please don't", and gave my reasons why. You started shit for that reason only...to start shit, and I'm not real interested in slinging shit with you, so have a nice day and try not to be so full of yourself your whole life.:o

peace.

I abbasolutely love Abba and all of the OLD Van Halen.:D
 
I would like to add to my list of that which sucks (which by the way incase some don't get it...."it sucks" means "I don't like it" and nothing more.), the following:

Sam Halen

Love Sam
Love Van Halen.

Sam Halen sucked. Every album they did togeather sounds just like 5150, and that just plain sucked!!!! Eddie complained about Dave not letting him "grow", I don't hear anything different on 5150 than on any other Sam Halen album that followed.
 
Sam Halen

hehe,,i never heard it called that before. Van Hagar usually huh?

See,,i NEVER liked Sammy Hagar at all.
I just always though to myself,,"that guy is just a total dick".
And i never got past that.
"Ive done everything for you" though.
CLASS! I know VanSamHagerHalen sold MILLIONS of albums,,
but i thought itwas all pretty shite.
They turned into just another big,,dull as fuck aor band,
Whereas Van Halen had that cool thing going on. What the fuck has become of Big Dave though?
I saw him on tv a while back for a few seconds,,
and i thought,,," Oh dear oh dear".
Shame. I wonder what they could have done if they had got beyond 1984,,,which was fuckin great in my opinion.
Despite the MUCH keyboardiness!(good grammar huh?)
And i forgive you too Kramers,,since you like ABBA and
EARLY (Dave,,in other words)Van Heflin !

Dude, I didn't start shit just to sling shit.

YOU, mon ami, started this shit to GET flames going... in the control-freak way you like. And I also merely replied because of a question and to correct a lie.
Oh sorry, didn't I have permission from the honorable Judge Toker???

You're the one being a pompous ass. Oh, and learn to spell, while you're at it. "pompas"... :D
