They're also boring as hell. (Except for "Rock The Casbah", of course, which is gold.) And I'm sick of people being such snobs about rock bands. "Ugh, you don't like the Clash? Are you, like, retarded or something?" No. I like music with variety. Blow me.

And don't even get me started on Pulp Fiction or we'll be here all bloody week.

The movie certainly wasn't as violent as I was expecting it to be. But that wasn't the problem - the "satire" went flat after about 10 minutes, and the movie ended too abruptly and without any real conclusion. The main jabs about corporate America and the material-obsessed 1980s are so heavy-handed. Gosh, high-level executives can be overly image conscious? You don't say!

Garbage sounds just like every other shitty rock band to have ever existed. Just because somethings "Different" doesn't make it good.

Hmm, when Spazmo and Franz agree on something... I'd say that's a sign, Teatime. Do it. Do it.

Do it Tea Time, you know you want to. Flex dem mighty admin muscles.

I suppose I should do mine. I wish I could narrow these down more, but saying I like one more then the other would be like forcing me to choose a favorite testicle.

Favorite track/song (not necessarily by the same band): Currently, Rocketman by Elton John. All time favorite......hmm Sunday Morning Coming Down (Johnny Cash) or Paint it Black (Rolling Stones) followed closely by Stairway to Heaven (Led Zep)

Favorite Game: Jagged Alliance 2 (PC) Star Ocean 2 (PS)
Favorite TV Show: Millennium, Tough Crowd, Cowboy Bebop

Give the brudda a break. If he's into "different" music, let him enjoy his crazy musical tastes. It's like a foot fetish, I guess.

I could give a shit about what music he likes... but Kill Bill?? It was all style and no substance, but bad style. What was meant as an homage turned out to be just a bad imitation at best, insulting mockery at worst.

Personally, I can hear fuck all difference between the beloved Avril and Garbage. Regardless, there would be a twinge of amusement at this development for many of us, I think.

Wolfman Walt · Post by **Wolfman Walt** » Thu Sep 23, 2004 9:46 am

The only real differance is that with Garbage you get multiple retards on a stage playing under a collective name. With Avril Lavigne, you just get her and those other guys.

I always felt sorry for the Crickets because they were never as well known as Buddy Holly.

Why does everyone like Queen? Theyre dead, and have been since drag went out

Mr. Teatime · Post by **Mr. Teatime** » Thu Sep 23, 2004 3:16 pm

I love Queen because they had fantastic songs, an awesome frontman who could command an audience like no other, and because the band could handle all sorts of musical genres: mock-opera (bohemian rhapsody), funk (another one bites the dust), punk (stone cold crazy), heavy metal (sheer heart attack), ambient ('untitled' on the Made In Heaven album), pop (It's a Kind of Magic), ballad (love of my life), and many more.

FLASH! AAASSH! Saviour of the universe!

One of the most heard things during my childhood. Queen rocks.
