Yea but now he's dead, see what you get! (By the way, I never really liked U2 that much anyways, but why the hell did Bono want to name himself after Sonny?)
Hey, I'm not anti-normal. I love the Killers, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Oingo Boingo, Alice Cooper, Slayer, The Talking Heads, Blondie, Louis the XIV, and all the 60's girl groups. That's completely normal. I'm just selective
It took me a moment to catch on. Ok, you're looking for strike 3? None of the bands you've named in the last couple of stabs at it approach the essentially undeniable rock awesomeness of Led Zeppelin or U2.
Like I said, I like a few Zeppelin songs, they just aren't the best band ever. U2 straight sucks and Bono's an ass. The Nora Jones part was me striking you out, not by who you don't like, but who you like...ewww.
And he did love her to his dying day. You could always see it in his eyes. A sort of sadness as he introduced new legislation or proposed an amendment of some sort.
Name one Zeppelin song worse than "Start Me Up" and one Stones song better than "Kashmir" (Note: Kashmir was selected randomly from any number of Zeppelin songs which the Stones could not hope to top).
I like Radiohead, but they are by no means some thing I would listen to of my own accord. I prefer loud angry music or stupid blatantly happy stuff and the closest I come to Radiohead is the Pixies, but even they have a touch of anger. Kirk, that's very artistic imagery for the average c-span viewer.
John, start me up is freaking awesome and even my favorite Zeppelin song "Der Maker" is worse than that and it's not even one of the Stone's best pieces. And sorry, but I worked at a guitar store, so I really don't like Stairway to Heaven.
It's kinda sad, I think they still loved each other but couldn't stand to be around each other. Neither one performed the "I got you Babe" song with anyone else.
Now Stones or Zeplin, Hmm. Beatles, The Who, The Monkeys just to name a few, are bands I like better than those two. Don't get me wrong, they both put out some good music, but the Stones were upstaged by Guns & Roses, and Zeplin wasn't around long enough to hit bottom. Remember What goes up must come down. Look at Hendrix.
I'll accept the Who as worthy of mention in the same sentence as Led Zeppelin.
I'll also accept the Monkeys and the Stones in the same sentence.
I'm having difficulty with the concept that Zeppelin wasn't around long enough but Guns -n- Roses was. There is some sort of conflict in the logic there.
I'm not saying G&R is in the same league, I was saying that they upstaged the Stones during one of the last concerts when Axle started mouthing off about a member of his band. Not that they are in the same musical league. I'm just saying....
I saw those Monkee interviews when they were heading to stage with their instruments in hand. Please remeber that they were entertainers, hand picked for the new Television era. If I'm spending big bucks cutting an album, I want the best in the business playing the instruments.
Ok, I'll admit that if we were playing "one of these things is not like the other" the Monkeys would be the first to go.
Right before Sonny & Cher. Although Cher can actually sing. She was a scamp, a tramp and a bit of a vamp, she was a V-A-M-P Vamp! (How's that for pulling one out of my ass -- way before your time.)
Never really got the Trent Reznor thing. I'm sure Jayne digs him - and Marylin Manson.
I'm a huge, HUGE G-N-R fan so no worries there (Jayne will soon chime in about how they suck). I bet they did blow the Stones away on that tour. I'm pretty sure I remember hearing they did. Still, I don't think you can put them in the same league as the Stones even though the Stones wrote Start Me Up, which is the worst rock and roll song in the history of the world, the universe maybe.
Where do you come up with this shit? Van Halen owns GNR? They did one record, the first one, that was real good but that's it. Have you seen a picture of Eddie lately? Really, reallly, really scary.
I'm not really a Van Halen fan, mainly because Eddie got Valerie. But I will admit they had some kicken songs. Now while I do like Sammy Hagar, I think Diamond David Lee Roth was a better front man. BTW Marilyn Manson did an awesome 'Tainted Love' video. I only liked Appitie for Destruction from G&R. I can't comment on live show's because I've only been to see blues & jazz bands.
No, their first TWO were good, in fact, fucking amazing. I thought we were judging these bands at their peaks, not the long slinding road into failure. Have you ever heard the spagetti incident? Proof that even GnR can falter.
I don't like anything by Haggar short of "I can't Drive 55" and Cabbo Wabbo tequilla And I've never seen the video, but I'm sure I would hate the song being as how I actually like Soft Cell and I can't stand bad covers.
Jane, this would be great for the 6 word contest if some dick wouldn't have given you a low rating. Wonder why they did that? I thought this was pretty clever.
Use Your Illusion is pretty good. But GnR still has some terrible stuff, which is my point. Actually it looks like 2 dicks gave me a low rating. Like I said though, I'm not stressing on it.
Johnny - GnR - ugh. Get the Led out any day. However, I'm stayin' out of this one (having been a nuisance behind the scenes to James Moore)
In my defense, I really hate GnR for only two reasons. A stripper girl I worked with, and hated, danced to them ad infinitum and the association become inescapable. And Axel Rose has a voice that shreds my eardrums.
A friend once told me he would rather have Nine Inch Nails driven into his skull than listen to them again. I LIKE NIN. But that's kind of how I feel about Axel...
Jayne thinks Spaghetti Incident was their best album and that Start Me Up by the Stones is the best rock song in the history of the universe. There. YOu're caught up.
If I remember correctly, Cher left Sonny for Greg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band. Which by the way, was a pretty damn good group in my opinion. I hope I spelled the name correctly, and now it's time to go "Eat a Peach"..............
i know i'm late in the thread. but...whoa...what's wrong with nails? sure, he took that industrial sound and made it somewhat digestable for the masses. but hate's a little harsh. especially when you keep some love for his music in the closet ;-)
sorry...i'm a little sensitive because i'm going to see them friday night.
I'm just not a big fan other than closer, and I like the videos. It's just not my style of music. I'm not into industrial much and the only remotely gothic band I really care for is Bauhaus
One) I like the use of the words with the picture.
Two) I like the new blood at Gather (or as I privately refer to them - Refugees from MySpace). Gather is much better than when I first joined (back in the day - early May).
I say it because although there are a lot of articles and threads debating such things as modeling at least underneath such threads one can pick up more important issues. With the modeling debate came the idea of what does it mean to be a young woman today? A modern woman? What type of power do women have and should beauty be something they profit off of or not? Overall, no matter where you fall on the modeling debate there was is a substancial reason why you feel that way.
When I was new to the site there was a whole rash of discussion over 'lists.' Some people felt that the lists helped introduced them to new writers others felt it was just high schoolish but overall there was no meat to the debate.
I like honest sincere loving caring intelligent understanding flexible tall beautiful attractive romantic sweet smiling woman friend I like to please a loving woman by my love and care I like friendship trust and understanding Thank You Loving Friendly Rgds and best wishes from Dr Oza
You are very attractive and man killer in a way!!!!!!!! So beautiful and sweet looking gal you are that man has to be your fan Thank you for your nice pic I like it very much dear
I am looking for long or short term relations but looking for unconditional real love. Its a feeling which happens Cannot be done. Its a communication between two beings.
I can't imagine the Dr. in front of Oza's name impressing Jake enough to make him give in that easily. Where is Jake anyway? Why isn't he here defending his icon? Do I have to do everything for that guy?

And Donna, I know, that's why I love it. I almost did Brad and Jennifer Aniston.
(By the way, I never really liked U2 that much anyways, but why the hell did Bono want to name himself after Sonny?)
U2 = strike 2
Am I back at the bench yet?
That's completely normal. I'm just selective
U2 straight sucks and Bono's an ass.
The Nora Jones part was me striking you out, not by who you don't like, but who you like...ewww.
Bono may be an ass but U2 does not suck. That's just silly.
a) not the best band ever, that would be The Stones
b) Yes they do
And he did love her to his dying day. You could always see it in his eyes. A sort of sadness as he introduced new legislation or proposed an amendment of some sort.
(Yes, I do watch too much C-SPAN.)
Kirk, that's very artistic imagery for the average c-span viewer.
John, start me up is freaking awesome and even my favorite Zeppelin song "Der Maker" is worse than that and it's not even one of the Stone's best pieces.
And sorry, but I worked at a guitar store, so I really don't like Stairway to Heaven.
I wouldn't have mentioned Stairway to Heave for exactly that reason. D'yer Maker is not a bad choice.
Start Me Up is the worst song ever in the history of the world.
I Got You Babe is 10 times more interesting that Start Me Up.
Yes.
No.
Deffinately no.
you've given me inspiration here..
L.
Now Stones or Zeplin, Hmm. Beatles, The Who, The Monkeys just to name a few, are bands I like better than those two.

He's got a good point
I'll also accept the Monkeys and the Stones in the same sentence.
I'm having difficulty with the concept that Zeppelin wasn't around long enough but Guns -n- Roses was. There is some sort of conflict in the logic there.
B) no fucking way, the stones at least played their own instruments
I didn't say that part, he did

I hate NIN, although I love some of their older videos and I secretly like "Closer"
What about Van Halen while we're at it? Because they freaking own GnR
Have you ever heard the spagetti incident? Proof that even GnR can falter.
And I've never seen the video, but I'm sure I would hate the song being as how I actually like Soft Cell and I can't stand bad covers.
The Spaghetti Incident is almost as bad as whatever album Start Me Up is on.
Check this out. Edward Van Halen
I agree that Eddie getting Valerie was a real downer.
Actually it looks like 2 dicks gave me a low rating.
Like I said though, I'm not stressing on it.

Why at 10:15 pm, you might ask. That would be an excellent question to which I would answer who fucking cares -- they're done! Peace.
Thanks Gretel.
sorry...i'm a little sensitive because i'm going to see them friday night.
It's just not my style of music. I'm not into industrial much and the only remotely gothic band I really care for is Bauhaus
I wouldn't even mind seeing NIN live. I'm sure they put on a great show.
Two) I like the new blood at Gather (or as I privately refer to them - Refugees from MySpace). Gather is much better than when I first joined (back in the day - early May).

I love the term myspace refugees though. Can I steal it?
