  1. "Pablo Honey" isn't amazing. Fine, you like it, but amazing is definitely a stretch.

    "Pablo Honey" = Decent, 6/10

    "The Bends" = Good, 810

    "OK Computer" = Amazing, 9.5/10

    "Kid A" = Amazing, 10/10

    "Amnesiac" = Good, 8/10

    "Hail To The Thief" = Amazing, 9/10

    Interesting. Here''s how I would rank them:

    Pablo Honey - 8/10

    The Bends - 9/10

    O.K. Computer 7/10

    Kid A - 7/10

    Amnesiac - 7/10

    Hail To the Thief - 7.5/10

    Weird how you ranked the albums alot higher on average yet you ranked Pablo(my 2nd fav) way low. Interesting. I think that O.K. Computer is their most overrated album and Kid A is likely the most underrated.

  2. Nine Inch Nails have one great album(Prett Hate), 2 good albums(Downward and Fragile) and two throw away albums(Broken and Fixed) the live album is cool and they have some remix of Downward Spiral but who cares it sucked.

    Radiohead has 6 completely amazing albums. Radiohead is the better band in myn opinion. Actually it isn't even close for me.

  3. This has maybe with you Bono with U2 as your Nr. 1 band of all time... but.. I mean it's quite oppisite... Queen has some timeless song... (U2 too by all means) but Freddie Mercury is MAYBE the greatest rock singer of all time...

    So my answer is very clear: Queen....

    True I may be a little biased towards U2 but in all honesty I feel that U2 will be and are regarded as a more classic band than Queen. Please don''t anyone think for a second that I have any disrespect for Queen in any way, but the thread is a Queen vs U2 question and I honestly feel that Queen does not measure up to U2. Queens songs do tend to sound a little dated in comparison to U2's music. Queen was huge. enormous, gigantic but U2 is by far the biggest band of our(25 and under) time. And as far as depth to the songs U2's songs are much deeper. Queen is awesome but they are no U2.

  4. Hmmmm.. Queen is an Epic band but really they are nothing compared to U2. Sure they both have great and timeless songs, but U2's classics far out way Queen's. No disrespect to Queen but they are simnply not in the same class as U2. When all is said and done I believe U2 will be up there with The Stones and The Beatles(maybe I'm a little optimistic) and Queen will run with the likes of Sabbath and Zepplin. No shame in that just not in the same realm that's all. U2 are like Kings of the music world, where as Queen are like the knights. That's my opinion.

  5. hmm, you seem to hate her, three times as much as i do,

    :lol: ^^^ that's funny.

    I totally dig No Doubt. Gwen is an awesome frontwoman. Greta voice. She's got a solo album coming out pretty soon. I think they'd be better though if they were a little mopre rock. The ska thing is old and the new 80's vibe is o.k but they should crank it up a bit and see what they can do. Also Gwen needs to let loose with her voice more like she did in the old days. Open the Gate is a good example of how she used to wail away. I like Excuse Me Mr. too

  6. your opinion sucks ass...how could you pick Bon Jovi against VH...bla!

    Here's why;

    Van Halen used more pop synth effects than Bon Jovi ever has. Van Halen's music sounds alot more dated than Bon Jovi's. Never in my five years as a DJ have I had a request for Van Halen. Though quite often get requests for "older" Bon Jovi. Livin' On A Prayer, You Give Love..., Wanted Dead or Alive, I'll Be There for You, Runaway. Those are just a few. Shit even It's My Life people request. That's why I pick Bon Jovi over Van halen. Van halen has always sounded weak to me. I like Bon Jovi better. A whole lot better actually. I'd even go as far as saying I don't like Van Halen at all. That's me though.

  7. I picked Bon Jovi. Also here's my question why is it that Bon Jovi quite often is considered "pop metal" or "hair metal" but Van Halen is quite often refered to as classic rock? In my opinion Van Halen was much more "Pop" than Bon Jovi. Van Halen always seemd "light weight"(to steal a phrase from Madison) to me. I think Bon Jovi rocks much harder than VH. What do you guys think?

  8. Bono, back to your original topic. There is no question really that the U2 album will surface eventually. They are still a band. As far as Chinese Democracy, I don't think we'll ever see it. Not after the horrid vma's and the aborted tour. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think gnr have done shit since the tour ended. Another year is about to go by.

    I hope you're wrong. I mean I think it'd be better if Guns album came first becasue that would mean it would come out within the year at the very latest. I have to think that the album must be ready to come out. What with all the tour rumors and festivals. then again they're all rumors right now except RIR4. And even that isn't a sure thing in the Gn'R world.

  9. Ummm... if he doesn't respond after one - or two at the most - pms, why did you continue to send more?

    Sorry Bono ... but I have to side with Mr. Reality on this one.

    One pm -- two at the most -- would have been enough.

    No no Madison. Really if you think about it it was only 2 PM's. The first one asking why the personal attack. I followed it up with a coment not ment to be responded to "Yeah that's what I thought" Hardly qualifies as a PM. The last one was an invite to the chatroom like I did with nearly everyone on line at the time so that doesn't really count as a personal PM either because it was sent to many people. I guess You could say I only sent him one legit PM. I just think Mr. Reality was in shock that someone actually took the time to PM him. Whatever. he's made too many dumb coments for me to worry about it anymore. U2 in the same category as Matchbox Twenty. What a joke. :rolleyes:

  10. Look Bono, so you sent me 4, not 5...

    Oh yea, you are totally a cool guy. Emailing some stranger 4 times in 24 minutes is pretty cool shit.

    So sorry my man... keep me up to date on all the U2 news...

    I mean, hell why do I like songs like Rocket Queen and Brownstone when I can hear rockers like the "Sweetest Thing" and "Stuck in the Moment"... I mean, those kick ass... What a band!

    Either way, you lick pole...

    Yeah o.k comparing those songs is like me comparing Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Years Day(more meaningful than anything Guns or Axl has ever done. Sorry eberyone but it is a fact.) to Bad apples and Dust and Bones. Oh wait no that's not right because Stuck in Moment and The Sweetest Thing are great songs. the two Guns songs I mentioned are nothing more than average if that. Plus I already explained why I sent you the PM's I did. Go ahead and dig yourself a deeper hole loser. I see you keep track at how long it took me to send all those PM's. This tells me that you still have them. Meaning you are examining them nonstop. Who's the stalker?

  11. Hey Dabucket -- when some dumbass emails you 5 times saying, "What are you doing in on a Friday night like me?" "Come to the chat room and we will settle it there", etc. etc..

    I just had to point out that the reason I did not answer him is that I was out.

    I am not dumping on the 24/7 internet people.. I am dumping on one nutbag who is a bit of a stalker in my books...

    Anyway -- rock on Gunners..

    Axl would back me ... to all those opposed -------

    Look Mr. Reality you are an idiot. I was gonna let it slide and not bring it out in the forum but you are an asshole so.....

    PM's I sent to Mr. Reality:

    1. asking where that post came from and why he feels he's so cool. Done in a fairly polite way (when considering what I was replying to)I might add.

    2. was one saying. "Yeah that's what I thought" when he failed to reply. This one I accidently sent twice as my computer fucked up while sending it.

    3. see #2

    4. was inviting him to the chatroom like I had done with many members on the forum last night. I invited about 8 people to join the chatroom so it had nothing to do with "battling it out" I had said nothing about "settling it there" What I did say was "Come to the chatroom. I know you want to."

    So there is 4 pm's I sent ya. 1 by mistake so in reality it is 3. hardly the thing of a stalker. Hey Pink, This Guy, Twoif, UK Subs, Red, better watch out I'm probably stalking you :rolleyes: You were logged on all night when I sent those Pm's so don't give me or anyone that shit about you being out. All you've done Mr. Reality is prove you are a complete loser by posting your shit here in this thread. By comenting on my post count you have in fact layed an insult on every other member here who has post counts in the thousands. Nice. Good for you buddy.

  12. I'm wondering which one we will see first. What do you guys think. U2 is rumored to have a single out in January and a possible album by March. Do you think we'll have anything from Axl and Co. by then. I hope so. Man what a trip it would be if Guns and U2 released albums in the same month or week or even day.

    By the way U2's new album is said to be their first "guitar" album. Both Bono and The Edge have said it will be very guitar driving. But who knows.

  13. I used to have a Coma t-shirt and a Dead Horse t-shirt that I got at the Skin & Bones tour in 1993. They got worn out though. The only Guns shirt I have now is a Chinese Democracy World Tour shirt. Hahahahahahahaha!!! That's like having an Anaheim Mighty Ducks Stanley Cup Champions shirt. Neither happend.

  14. rock music drives me nuts. 98% of anything close to Nu Metal sucks ass. All the modern rock sucks my ass. You know things are bad when I'd rather listen to Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears(making music) then the popular rock bands like Nickleback and all that shit. Todays music sucks except for a few really good bands. Fuck the modern rock radio. BLAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

  15. I'm just wondering who else was at that show. I drove 13 hours from Sylvan Lake, Alberta for it. Thanks Axl. I know it's old news but I was just thought I'd see who else was there.

  16.  Yes and no. You need to be able to give rasons. As far as musicians go sure there as good. As far as Guns N' Roses go no they aren't.
