Angry, lazy, hateful ex-punk rocker thread

[JediScum]

Honestly, I never really got into Pearl Jam. Now, Nirvana... I actually heard "Bleach" when it kinda new and dug it. A year or so later, "Nevermind" came out and they got radio play. I thought that was great for a month. But they never stopped. The radio stations never stopped playing that song for what seemed like three fucking years and I started to HATE Nirvana.

The same holds true for Metallica and their "...And Justice For All" album. It didn't really get any radio play, and I did like it for about 3 months. Then it seemed, I couldn't escape listening to it. They made their first video, "One", after swearing up and down they would never make a video. Then every retard on the planet started blasting it. I would walk down the road, and cars would pass by playing some song off that album. That was what? 1988? 1989? It's not a bad album... It was just played so much at parties or whatever, I felt like I couldn't escape it. Same with Nirvana.

That's just a personal bitch of mine. I can like a band, an album and listen to it over and over. Yet, if I cannot escape listening to something, even if I like it, I get hateful about it. I just burned out, y'know.

It's why I can't listen to radio anymore. Classic Rock - Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, and Lynard Skynard OVER AND OVER REPEATEDLY. It changes slightly depending on region but they still burn me out. The same goes for all these "cutting-edge" alterna-metal stations called "THE 'X' ".They'll play stuff which is tolerable, at best, but their playlist is like 40 or 50 songs. Ozzy's hit "I Don't Wanna Stop" was awesome when I first heard it, It had a really great hook, was catchy in a way I've never heard Ozzy before. Then I listened to it four times a day for two months.

Now here's a man who can do a radio show...



Yeah, Henry Rollins... http://harmonyinmyhead.com/ and his archives http://www.rollins-archive.com/

Actually, even Rollins kinda plays some of the same bands over and over. But at least ya get Led Zepplin mixed with The Fall, Public Enemy, Sleater-Kinney, Roky Erickson and some cool shit I've never heard.

It's the holidays, I'm drunk and I forgot what I was talking about. HONK IF YOU LOVE PUSSY!

Jediscum - dialup? I feel sorry for you. It's been awhile and I almost forgot what its like. The quality of the video is low. I cant figure out how big the file actually is, but I was able to completely download the whole 45 minute show in 6 or 7 minutes. My connection is probably no more than 10 times faster than yours, if that.
Speaking of GG Allin and The Ramones, I read that Dee Dee Ramone was in a band with GG Allin. I have'nt heard the music yet though. Someday I'll get around to tracking it down. Apparently GG was in a band that featured J Mascis, Wayne Kramer, and Gerard Cosley at one time. All I can say to that is WTF!?!

I actually hate the radio. I went so far as to surgically remove the radio from my car once so that my ex-GF could'nt torment me with it while we were driving places. Snipped the wires to the antenna and told her it was on the fritz. Almost every radio station I've ever listened to was pure unadulterated garbage. The only exception was one time when I was living in the midwest, I came across a public radio station that used to have a couple really kick ass shows they'd play late at night. One had all the great old-school punk, I even discovered some really great stuff I had overlooked somehow all these years. I believe the show was called Scene Of The Crime for anyone out there who happens to be near St Louis.

Though I dont listen to metal hardly at all anymore, I have recently got into a metal band. The band is called Faxed Head. Their music was very original and does'nt quite sound like most metal. They also had a very interesting back story. Apparently they were high school kids who were into death metal and had a death metal band, and everyone in their small town made fun of them over it. So they signed a suicide pact and went out in the corn field with shotguns. But they survived the attempted suicide and are now hideously deformed. The singer is in a wheelchair, and they all wear masks to hide their deformities. The music is actually strong enough to not become gimmicky even with that back story!
