Talk about music, movies, TV, books, other types of entertainment and what your vices are. Also, if you're addicted to the high you get off Aspirin, this is the place to talk about it.

You, swell guy!
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

I'd have to say... Led Zep, The Doors, The Who... and I why do all of the music topics on DAC turn into a damn discussion about rock's and pop's definitions?

understand the feeling that dwells inside a man

rock? would you merit a band on breaking down da barriers, if you like one or two tunes or the full body of shit, talent? I like david bowie, though i wouldnt say hes rock. rolling stones and who have some good licks, but i wouldnt say they're the best ever. velvet underground, king crimson, the doors, t rex? i dunno.

Well done atoga well done.
I think was asking for your age.
Serifan wrote:HAHAHAHA Beatles are now way rock they are more Pop

As korn not being rock that crazy yes they are nu-metal but it is an off shoot of old school rock.
Nu-metal is not an offshoot of old school rock.

What the hell else do you call it?
I'd definately say that Led Zeppelin is metal.
Serifan wrote:I have been lisening to korn since the first album. The reason I like korn so much is I love JD Voice and they make good songs. BTW I am not EMO I just like this band. Korn started Nu-metal and now have changed into something else seeing as everyone else wanted to get on the bandwagon. thats why I like korn because they are very inovative and I know there next album will be nothing like the last.
I also used to listen to Korn (yes since the first album) when I was ~10. Korn did not start nu-metal. Korn's works have deteriorated with each album (I'd say that Life is Peachy is the best). However, now I just find them boring. They cannot come up with any new stuff that's any good and the old stuff isn't all that great either.

<3 Guns N' Roses

If you incorporate metal into this discussion as well (i.e. Led Zeppelin), they I'd definately say that Kind Diamond and Mercyful Fate deserve a mention.

swell guy please, there's no important distinction between metal & rock beyond a purely aesthetic one. it's all the same shit.

and yes, i was asking for serifan's age, but woteva.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Oh, so Oblivion is awesome, because it sold out, isn't it?

Or just like all of those shitty blockbusters that brainless tards, i.e. you rush to watch?

You're probably the dumbest 22 year old that I've ever encountered.

Atoga:

That thing with Blondie and rap is that one thing ( Rapture ) they did kind of as a joke. The reference to "Fab Five Freddy" is just something they put in as a sort of "shout out".

Hip hop/rap elements had been around a long time, with roots in antiquity.
(ok, fine... the modern stuff didn't start until the 70's.)

You could argue that Blondie gave mainstream exposure to rap.
I think that the time-delay without the help of Blondie would have been like a month.

HAHAHA is that your arguement nice one really well planned that was.

Oblivion may not have appealed to you but it appealed to other people. So automatically because you don't like something everyone else is wrong or a brainless tard as you would put it.

What the fuck does movies have to with this topic are you just trying to fill in the spaces to make it look like you have something more constructive to say.

So I am the dumbest 22 year you met nice one buddy you figure me all out in 10 post and know nothing else about me.

So next time you decide to try make yourself feel better by throwing insults around try and get some good hard facts because you are making yourself look like an idiot.

Yes, perhaps I should have expressed myself more crearly. I don't think that you're a moron because you listen to Korn (albeit that helps). I concluded it from your general posts on this forum (the ~10 or so), the fact that you think that Korn is the best rock band of all time, and because of this post:

while you're partly right, the appeal to a mass audience - "70 million korn fans can't be wrong! icon_drunk" - is irrelevant to determining something's merit; you do realize that, right? it doesn't necessarily make something shitty, as frater would have you believe (though mass appeal & being shit often go hand in hand, because people are idiots), but it don't make something good, either. i'd call you a tard for bringing it up in the first place, but then you'd probably reply with an equally lame rebuttal.

Korn?!! Korn sucks. I would pick Flock Of Seagulls over Korn.
The only thing that can be taken from the fact that Korn can go platinum is that we need to adopt a more effective form of population control.

The best rock band of all time definitely has to be Pink Floyd.
The Wall
Wish You Were Here
Dark Side Of The Moon. Nobody else comes close.
Wasteland Radio, with Charlie C.

I don't care how "new" you are, or where you are from (albeit I did quote that post from NMA [well, you did post something similar here]). I don't have anything against you personally, I just took the liberty to state my opinion about you.

everyone can have an opinion or whatever, you just have to be willing to suffer the slings and arrows of defending your shitty music tastes instead of thinking korn is better than floyd or the stones or whatever. shit, if you're going to base your argument on popularity, those 2 bands outweigh them 100% of the 5%. now take 3% of that and you have a hardcore set.

Van Halen. But only the Van Halen with David Lee Roth. Sammy Hagar is a poofy haired retard, and Gary Cherone can get AIDs.
