Yasin's BILLS Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I am going to say Phish, I hate them they definitly suck. Who ever sings for them is horrible, I go to this one bar and they play like 20 phish songs in a row. And whats the deal with the drummer wearing a dress can some one please explain that to me.

Before they got very popular and very mainstream they were pretty good, but as soon as they started getting a lot of attention, they just seem to become very preachy or something. Like they were the moral compass of American music. Kinda like how the Beastie Boys got so wrapped up on their "Free Tibet" stuff that they just started putting out more and more crap.  Bono... holy FRIGGIN CRAP is he somethin else. Who will lead us to the promise land Tedy Bruschi or this cat?  I guess we agree to disagree on REM.... (by the time I post this the thread will probably be moved I hope?)

MarkyMannn Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 OK, lets go with local Buffalo bands. The worse is Boys of Summer. Because my friends like them I went and saw them last night. Not my first time either. Like every 5 years you need to learn a new song. At least look like you're into your own music too. Instead of going through the motions, can't wait to get out, and give me the money   Here is by far the BEST in Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Is it John Olerud? Yes it is, Its John Olerud , someone else here (maybe the same guy) had Pat borders for a while. Ah yes, guys from the Jays glory days, hopefully those days are back! Â The only reason people included Metallica is because its cool to hate them because of the napster issue.

I love the early REM stuff and while I do think the public posturing was over the top I'd rather have someone speaking what they believe, than not believing in or caring about much of anything, which is a far worse disease among kids today. I look to those bands of the 80s underground as actually trying to take on political concerns artfully -- and I don't think there are many REM songs that are out-and-out preachy.

This summer I was back home in WNY on vacation and cleaning out some posters and stuff at my mom's house I had from my younger days and ran across a poster of Kelly Freaking Gruber (with the mullet by the way)! It said Hot Corner on the top of the poster, (not sure if that's a veiled gay reference or not). I brought it back to Colorado with the idea of putting on the wall in my rec-room/sports room in the basement and one of my buddies was over at the house and saw it and started cracking up. He said I might be the only person in the world with a Kelly Gruber poster. It didn't make the final cut for posters that made the wall. Kelly's Heros, Shane Conlan and Thurman Thomas all did though. My wife insisted I buy those cheapo frames at Walmart though before I put them up.  Wow you worked with REM? On which album? Pretty cool, no offense meant in my original post about them.  Kelly Gruber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 JourneyMetallica Fleetwood Mac Dave Matthews Band  That is kinda funny that you mention Journey... Just reading through this post and seeing the REM references.  Actually, my reply has nothing to do with your post... Just the Journey reference and its connection to REM being discussed.  For the record I couldn't agree more with your assessment on Journey.  Now the tie in... I remember and old review on XRT (Chicago, 93.1 FM)... And Journey with relation to REM... The review was done in the early 1980's when Journey was on top... REM just rising. The term used for Journey was "monolith" and how REM would be hard pressed to crack that "monolith."  My point? I guess I don't have one... Just thought of that connection and how over 20 years later people preceive that "monolith."... Which is clearly REM... And wow! They have lasted... Way more than Journey!  I am really starting to believe that popularity alone is the deciding factor that breeds comtempt in many. Win a Grammy, attempt to have a social conscience... Get thrownto the curb... Just don't have money or look like a rock star and you will be alright with some!  Take Dean's Bono reference... Wow! How much less self-serving can the guy be? Sure he is rich, looks and dresses the part of a "rock star" and is preceived as "pretentious"... Yet, his faith is strong and undying, has been married to the same woman since before the band was formed (well I think that still holds true)... Etc...  I guess preaching really bothers people?  I could ramble on and on... But, I guess my point is I am really shocked how people preceive things and the amount of "fluff" that gets in the way and if you aren't poor and starving... You must be self-serving...  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be self-serving...    Journey started as a GREAT band. An offshoot of Santana with Greg Rolie on vocals. The first couple of albums (Journey and Look Into the Future) were beautiful. Spacey, jazzy rock with top notch musicianship. I saw them in concert twice when they were good and it was a real treat.  Then came Steve Perry (AKA The Man Who Destroyed Journey). They changed their style from music to hits. They went from musicians to rock stars. Commercialism and pap plagued their souls! The garbage they spewed was some of the most annoying crap ever recorded. I saw them in concert with Perry and was sad, indeed.  Just remember, Journey was not always annoying.
