BLOC PARTY IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!
AND THEY ARENT EMO!!
-
They arent emo? Those guys are so emo, that my dog fucking stood up on two legs and was all "Holy fuck, those guys should stop crying so much. How emo!" And I was all like "HOLY SHIT!!! You can talk?" And then he was like "No..." and walked out of the room.
-
I was watching that stupid show which carson daily hosts a few months ago. He said the band was Bloc Party, I'm like, "They probably suck." Then I listened to them, I was like, "They suck." Another one of my amazing stories.
-
They arent on american television....
-
They were one night on that Last Call with Carson Daily. Unless there is another band named Bloc Party.
-
theres a uk and a american lol
-
Ok well the american band really really sucks KrautKiller, please see http://blocparty.com to ascertain just how much they suck.
And give us a link to the uk band?
-
I'm pretty sure it's the same band. I searched "US bloc party" and "UK bloc party" and came up with the same results. I also downloaded a clip from british radio and they played bloc party, it was the same bloc party that we have in the US.
-
lol i was trying to see if you would look them up. And I think they are good
-
so searching for the two different bloc parties was the biggest waste of my time?
-
The best band has to be either Story of the Year, of Fall Out Boy. If not them, then I'm sure Snake will agree with me on this one: Def Leppard.;)
-
omfg, story of the year gets to much credit for the crap they make. And fall out boy is just gay...and def is too old
-
I have seen both story of the year and fall out boy twice and they both suck pretty bad.
P.S. I got into those concerts for free, it wasnt like I would pay to see those bands
-
Sum 41? Rise Against? The Killers? Green Day? My Chemical Romance? Jet? Evanecence? Bowling For Soup?
-
Rise Against, Jet, Evanescence (however you spell it)
-
You need to get off VH1 and go to http://www.purevolume.com, and listen to real bands that werent lucky enough to get a good record like fall out boy and sum41. and deathwish rise against is like the only true band on your list. The rest of them are pop or are making crap today.

lol, your starting to see the light... the less famous the person is, chances are the better of a musician they are. Music industry = crappy music. I'll check out the band since your starting to really come around kraut, woot!
If you wanna see some insane guitar stuff... go the the http://www.rustycooley.com, videos section, and download the 8-string guitar sessions. INSANE.

Heh, while I can't say I have supreme knowledge of the music industry, I will give my perspective on this.
Iceman is what I like to call "a whiney ass bitch" (I just woke up and can't think of a more suitable term). I saw alot of these kids in high school, some of them were even my friends (all the better to observe and draw knowledge of the situation from). Now I'm not sure the cause of this phenomenon, however I have a feeling the internet could have something to do with it. From what I have seen, this is how the process works:
This kid finds a band in which they think is cool, and like their music. 99.999% of the time this is an "underground" band, or in otherwords, one which is not very well known yet. If the band *is* good, they will begin to attract fans, usually through the internet/word of mouth and other small time means of advertisement.
Now how *good* a band/musician is depends on your perspective. Some people (Iceman) judge them solely based upon their musical talent. However that can only get a person so far. Whether you like it or not, you need to be an entertainer on top of being a good musician if you want to make it in the music industry. People can like your music, but if you can't entertain them while they listen to it, they are going to lose interest.
While I admit I don't know everything about the music industry, I do know that most of them are not stupid and they like to make money like the rest of us. Now what happens is one of these record companies finds out about said band, gives them a record deal, the band blows up, mtv, vh1, the whole 9 yards. This is where it gets interesting. See at some point when the band reaches famed status many of their long time, "underground" fans begin to resent them and their success, usually calling the band a "sell-out". Why? No idea. Is it their fault they became famous? Possibly, and possibly not. Ever stop to think maybe its YOUR fault? Remember those 2 friends you told about that awesome band you "discovered"? Well you don't know about the 4 friends they told, and the 3 friends their friends told, and so on and so forth. Once the cycle went through this band now has thousands of fans, you think the music industry doesn't notice that? Wrong, they do. That is how they make money, they pay attention to not only the talented, but the popular as well.

Thats alittle true, but hawthorne heights has a guitarist that rarely does anything lol, and they are becoming really popular.

Fawkes Arcadia, huh. What now. bet you havn't heard of them. They are ok. "You need to get off vh1" mtv just plays the really famous songs that arnt good, while vh1 plays up-and-coming bands that mostly still arnt good.
P.S. I didn't get Fawkes Arcadia off of Vh1.
-
vh1 is pop music....
-

If you aren't getting your fix of high-octane music from these bands, you're looking in the wrong place. You're like smoking Swisher Sweets instead of nice cigars. Shut up about your pop-punk carbon copies. Especially goodeye, who loves coheed and cambria (puke).
In other news: Bloc Party is pretty good, but not really that important.
-
How about this: Everyone likes what they like. You can say anyone in the music industry "sucks", but you'll also get thousands of their fans who think otherwise. To me, everything listed anywhere in this thread is garbage. That doesn't exactly mean they aren't good, I just don't like them.
People listen to what they like and they always will, case closed.
-
omg I forgot all about TED LEO AND THE PHARMACISTS. They are like the only band on your list that I can recognize.
-
"Especially goodeye, who loves coheed and cambria (puke)."
That was 2 years ago I liked them...
I never loved them.
-
i personaly like led zeppelin, pink floyd, G&R, Tom Petty, The Police, Staind, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey, Chevelle, Black Sabbath, the Beatles, The Who, and many more "old groups"
-
brittany spears yay!
