Ten Essentials

[reply]

I guess I’m stoked since the majority of the posts here usually are us bitching at something and yet here is some of (what most would call) the most predictable music in the world and some are being cool about it… I mean you guys were ruthless with the slash album!
anyway I’m already passed sounding gay! (anybody got a cock I can chug?)

Well, you’ll be picking yrself up off the floor by the end of this post Grmpy…because I actually like Guns’n’Roses.

Which is partly why I was so hard on the Slash cd because it was so insipid and so plastic and so awful compared to G’n’R in their heyday. If Guns’n’Roses meant nothing to me I wouldn’t even have bothered reviewing it.

You may think I attack things for ‘not’ being avant garde but I don’t. I can smell shit a mile off regardless of what genre it’s dressed up as. I can dig on plenty of commericial music - popularity has nothing to do with it.

And sometimes there’s only so much ‘experimental’ a person can take.

I probably feel the same way about Guns’n’Roses as I do about Metallica. I like 'em and their great tracks are really great, but damn if there isn’t an ocean of shit to wade through.

However, I’m not ready to down my Boyd Rice and Whitehouse albums just yet in favour of the Gunners so don’t get too excited.

I still can’t believe you didn’t enjoy Earth’s remix album, ‘Legacy Of Dissolution’ though. That was a wasted opportunity.[/reply]

yeah, good music is good music regardless of genre.
