White Stripes


I don't know why but it seems that the rock stations in Boston have to play the F@*!en white stripes every 15 minutes....so. Two questions for ya:
1: Who are the bands that you absolutely can't stand. [img]images/smilies/icon_rant.gif[/img]
2: What guitarists IYO absolutely SUCK ASS. [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

for me it's The white stripes, and Jack White...kill 2 birds with one stone there...


this could be a fun one. [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Re: White Stripes


Id like to share an individual opinion, but mines the same as yours [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] Im sick of the white stripes, and im sick of Jack White being proclaimed as a great guitarist when no ones gonna remember him in 10 years.

Re: White Stripes


It really pisses me off when i see Jack White outranking people like EVH and Steve Vai in lists of the greatest guitarists ever.

White Stripes. Paahhh [img]images/smilies/mad1.gif[/img]

They are soooooo crap. They are annoying and she can't even play the drums. Jack's guitar is always out of tune and so is his singing. What on earth are people thinking even giving these a chance.

Re: White Stripes


Over-rated band, but I kind of dig a few of their tunes.

Re: White Stripes


I agree. To the first question, Let me name some more bands that helped ruin music (for other reasons): Poison, Winger, Ratt, Faster Pussycat, Whitesnake, Stryper, etc, EVERY SINGLE HAIR BAND. Wait theres more bands to list: AC/DC (HAHA), The 2nd Half of Metallica's Career, Disturbed, Matchbox 20, Blink 182, Sum41, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne, KISS (gee where did the prior 3 bands get the ideas to put on facepaint and wear masks), Train, John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Roger Water's Solo Career (but i loved pink floyd), Donna Summer, Blondie, EVERYTHING THAT CAME OUT OF DISCO. P.S. I do think disco contributed the most to the destruction of good music. The list goes on and on.

To the second question: TOM MORELLO. I keep seeing this guy way above the greats at number one on Best Guitarist lists. Hes all effects. All he does is mess around with his wammy pedal, and scratch his pick on the strings. Everything he does is effects.

Re: White Stripes


[img]images/smilies/icon_mad.gif[/img] How can reasonable people call this crap music?? [img]images/smilies/headscratch.gif[/img] To me, anything after 1992 went down hill fast when Nirvana screwed music up. These no talent, dropped D, 3 chord strumming, no solo playing, whining assed singing, frat boy rock idiots can kiss my ass! [img]images/smilies/icon_rant.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad1.gif[/img]

Nickelback and Audio Slave and any band like them make me want to projectile vomit!!!

I've practiced my ass off on guitar for 16 years and I'll be damned if I ever listen to new music UNLESS its from 80's Rockers making a comeback! Thank God Real Metal is creeping back!! [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

I'll try my best to answer both questions. I dont listen to the radio other then sports radio, and WMMR which is a classic rock station. The bands I cant stand would be:

Jet
The White Stripes
The Vines
Nickleback (sorry, but I just can't bring myself to like them)
Flickerstick
Godsmack (The AC/DC of nu-metal)

And the worst guitarist I think is Jack White. I can't see why he gets all the accolades he does.

Re: White Stripes


K first thing first, I guess I'll ask the obligatory question "How the heck did Nirvana ruin music"??

Ok some bands I can't stand

1. Incubus (SCIENCE is perhaps one of the greatest albums of all time, but almost anything after that is sold-out crap, pity as these guys clearly had the talent)

2. Dream Theater: These guys have all the talent in the world but yet they can BARELY write a compelling song (excpet for the middle of Metropolis I which just plain f'n rules) Sorry guys, keep wishing your're Queensryche.

3. Slipknot-What the hell guys, Mr. Bungle called and they want their props back.

4. Nu Metallica-'nuff said

5. Blink 182-Dunno what it is about these guys, but whenever I hear the lead singers voice I get this involuntary reflex to wanna punch him. What the hell are these guys and their whiny college boy sound still doing around.

Well thats really the only "bands" I can think of that REALLY suck, umm its kinda hard to suck at guitar so I'll leave that to the rest of ya.

Nirvana took the art of skillful guitar playing and threw it out the window. Alot of other seattle bands thereafter followed suit. If you can play "Smoke on the Water" you can play any Nirvana song blindfolded. Thats also when true vocal talent died. For example, Ronnie James Dio can actually sing, and Kurt Cobain cannot, c'mon he just yelled out like he was really constipated.

Alice in Chains was about the only good thing to come out of the 90's. They had real talent.

Thank God crappy Grunge and alternative 90's stuff is about dead and the old school sound is returning. Its about time.
