does not make them good...
but then they got too big for us...
they are all gimmick
as for why most bands suck now,
I have said it before and I'll say it again...
it's all about tone
back in the day you could tell when a maiden song was played...
same with judas priest, anthrax, early metallica, sepultura...
they all had a different tone but ere all metal as fuck...
now everything uses the same cabinets and the same shitty settings and you can't tell 1 fucking band from another
same is true with hardcore
a.f. did not sound like soia, not jsut i nthe riffs, but in the sounds of the amps,
now everyone sounds the fucking same (hatebreed) and it sucks...
do you think a band like the dead kennedys could come out today in this punk/hardcore scene and be seen as anything but a joke?
withthe way they played, they way they sounded and the songs they wrote...
the camo shorts crowd would have nothing to do with them...
punk is dead, as is metal, as is hip hop...
we were sold to the mall, and to teenage girls...
and now we cranky old men get to sit back and talk about the good ole days... |
