[kj] [OT] Sunday morning reading. Music = intelligence?

[Brendan Quinn]

Yeah I can see where you're coming from.bear in mind I love early Metallica,
moreso than most other 80s metal (inc Iron Maiden). I just don't like what
they've become.

 

I disagree that early Metallica are better than early Nirvana tho, but
that's down to taste etc.

 

Happy dreams of Lars :-)

Damn internet. Okay, I'll say it a little more clearly. If Metallica had
ceased to exist as a band in September of 1986 (which is when Cliff Burton
died), then they would poop all over Nirvana. 

If their entire recorded studio output consisted solely of Kill Em All, Ride
the Lightning and Master of Puppets with no Black Album or Load or St. Anger
or even half-baked Justice For All to sully their good name.....in other
words, if they were wiped off the face of the planet at their very creative
apex, never to return again....then it's Metallica FTW.

There's PLENTY of room for debate.

 

One:     St Anger ("FLUSH IT OUT!")

Two:     Lars Ulrich

Three:   Fuck all decent material post running out of Dave Mustaine tracks

Four:    Ulrich and Hammet dancing along to Limp Bizkit covering Sanitarium
live

Five:     Awful live performance with symphony orchestra 

Six:      Nirvana were the biggest band in the world, for a time, *before*
Kurt died. 

Seven:  David Bowie and John Lydon praised Nirvana

Eight:   Hetfield is a 5/10 singer at best, and a redneck goober to boot
(promoting guns now after singing 'One' back in the day.)

Nine:     Insanely embarrassing documentary about how pissy they are as
individuals

Ten:      Bass player replacement dude going on Rent-a-Hutchence reality
show

Eleven: Becoming the poster-band for selling out in a prolonged, incredibly
embarrassing way.

 

PS: Is it just me or that bit in Enter Sandman, where he goes "Dreams of
war, dreams of liars".doesn't it sound like "Dreams of Lars"? LOL

If Metallica had all died in the bus accident along with Cliff Burton then
they would take it by a country mile. And there would not be any room
whatsoever for debate.

Nirvana vs Metallica

 

Vocals:             Nirvana, easily 

Guitarist(s):       Metallica by a long shot

Drummer:          Nirvana

Bass player:      Who cares ;)

Lyrics:              Nirvana by a long shot

Song-writing:     Nirvana - broader and deeper range 

 

I find in favour of Nirvana.

   Hm, Nirvana to the right of Metallica... hip-hop smarter than Gospel? And
is 

Killing Joke literally "off the charts"?

 

(Wot, no Coldplay?)

 

  Meh, I think people listen to music in a much more holistic and 

experiential way, anyway, but graph sure is fun to look at and joke about.

In no way do I wholly agree with this but nevertheless it's an errrrr....
interesting idea/read

Ps. I apologize to my fellow Brits about the 25 DVD box set gift.

Pps. Whoever mentioned the "House of Yes" movie in a previous thread. Thank
you!
Parker Posey is awesome (also enjoyed her in "Best in Show").
