Death Star Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 This is to discuss your hate for bands such as Nickelback, Creed, Shinedown, Seether, Saving Abel, Three Days Grace, etc.Alternative Metal/Post Grunge sucks and no good bands to come out of it. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Those bands all pretty much suck, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Saving Abel? Well, I like some bands that were labelled as Alt. Metal, like AiC and Soundgarden - or even MetallicA, yes I like Load n' Reload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Shinedown are fucking AWESOME. The songs that got major radio exposure, like 'Second Chance' and 'The Crow & The Butterfly' are among their worst, but songs like '45', 'Son of Sam', 'What A Shame' and 'Sound of Madness' are awesome. They're an amazing live band, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 nah, if people want to be honest about it, post grunge was better then grunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin' Jack Flash Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 nah, if people want to be honest about it, post grunge was better then grunge.Can't say I agree with this, I don't think I've ever heard an album by a post-grunge band as good as Nevermind or Dirt.

P.A. Guns Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Pretty much can't stand any new music that gets played on contemporary rock station. Occasionally you get something catchy, but for the most part, it's depressing and it all sounds the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say you think this genre blows and proceed to list a bunch of bands you hear on the radio, what new music on the radio is good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt88 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I cant get behind the "post grunge was better than grunge" argument. Put in Dirt, Ten or Badmotorfinger then put in any of these post grunge records and see what stacks up. Those releases were seminal. That said if you like post grunge, whatever. I cant get into it for the most part. Whos that one band, Seether? uhhh. Nauseating. Now if we're talking what gets radio play, thats a different story. Avenged Sevenfold are talented and tend to be overplayed, some would say. The bigger question is do people still listen to traditional radio at this point? And even if they do, how much influence do the stations have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No satellite or other forms of internet radio eg. Pandora? I basically just read music sites and then use the Spotify "related artists" section to find new music.

moreblack Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 haven't listened to radio in years, every now and then will look into the charts and see who's doing well in rock but it's mostly just depressing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissirge Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 love the genre, so many great bands thats its hard to even countwish the US active rock stations would start playing here.

Cosmo Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Here's how I see it:Kurt was cool while he was still here, after he took his life he left us a generation of whiners, cryers, moaners and wannabes. Add that to MTVism, and you get the huge stinky pile of shit that is emo, alt metal and post-grunge. To see more listen to My Chemical Romance, Bullet For My Valentine, etc... But I kinda like NuMetal tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) there are only about 10-15 great grunge albums; there is at least 50 great post grunge cd's.post grunge > grunge. Edited August 9, 2011 by SunnyDRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one around here that does a good mix of 70s-today but always find myself cringing at the newest stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I've been listening to KISW lately. They play all kinds of shit, from Bon Jovi to Nirvana, MetallicA, Gn'R and even Taylor Swift... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? KISW as in Seattle? Never would've thought they'd play Taylor Swift... That's the one radio station I'll listen to, but to be fair, I rarely listen to radio...
