  1. It all depends on one's definition of hard rock but I'd say the top 25 would be , in no particular order...and certainly not a list of my favorite bands...

    Led Zeppelin

    Cream

    Jimi Hendrix

    Deep Purple

    Motorhead

    Alice Cooper

    Judas Priest

    Rush

    Iron Maiden

    Bon Jovi

    Def Leppard

    Guns N' Roses

    Black Sabbath

    Metallica

    Tool

    Rage Against The Machine

    Queen

    Ozzy Osbourne

    Soundgarden

    Pantera

    Megadeth

    Van Halen

    Aerosmith

    AC/DC

    KISS

  2. I wouldnt say i'm a die hard fan but I was alive and saw the first Star Wars when it came out.....fuck everyone, I will never call it a new hope....and fucking hell did I have tons of star wars toys as a kid.....so with that being said, after seeing the new movie and taking a few days to digest and let the initial excitement and feeling of OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST EVER!!!! to subside.....I will place it #5 in the series

  3. 1. Reservoir Dogs

    2. Jackie Brown

    3. Pulp Fiction

    4. Kill Bill

    5. Django

    6. Death Proof

    7 Inglorious

    Anyone ever seen his unfinished Indie piece My Best Friends Birthday? It's actually pretty cute, you can sort of see the Tarantino-isms all over it, there's even a little Kung Fu scene :lol:

    His Four Rooms segment would be at the bottom, if counted.

    True but then when somethings already been done by Steve McQueen and Peter Lorre and has been directed by Alfred Hitchcock you're kinda punching way above your weight as a Tarantino. Steve McQueens presence alone puts anything above anything else because he is the Messiah.
    I have not seen it

    He also directed some of Sin City but I don't know the scenes or if he was just sort of a consultant.

    Well, QT is not very original! He's basically a fanboy with a camera. I wouldnt rate him amongst the best directors, either all time or of his generation. That being said, he has a way with dialogue but that can also be a detriment because he relies on it too much and while it was clever early on, the shine has worn off and his weakness as a director is more glaring than ever

  4. Prefer Death Proof to Kill Bill or Inglorious. Just a fun movie. I've rewateched it a few times. It's just a bit more playful. Obviously narrative isnt his strength. I suupose you could say Inglorious is a better put together movie, Death Proof is a bit of a mess, but there's lots of cool parts. There's still some interesting ideas. The same actors used in the second part where Stuntman Mike meets his match. This is QT's territory. I's prefer he was like the Woody Allen of crime capers instead trying to be a really filmaker.

    It's in the middle for me

    Jackie Brown

    Reservoir Dogs

    Pulp Fiction

    Death Proof

    Kill Bill

    Inglourious Basterds

    Django Unchained

  5. It's an interesting question. While they're one of my favorite bands ever, I doubt most people would consider them in a conversation about "greatest band ever".

    It's hard for most to come with a list of, say top 25 "best" bands ever and try not to include your favorites and try not to exclude your non-favorites.

    I'm not a Beatles guy at all. I despise Pink Floyd and U2 but i'd be fooling myself if I didnt put them on such a list and probably way up on it.

    Nick Cave is my personal favorite but I wouldnt put him in the top 100

  7. I've been on a real Scott Weiland kick since he passed and I honestly forgot how fucking awesome some of his bands where. Still can't believe he's gone. I won't ever forget seeing VR in Boise in 2005. Scott just had that "it" factor that so few do. Just a great frontman and someone who truly "let it bleed". I think all the "what if's" and "if only's" are interesting to think about but I think whatever demons he was fighting fueled the artist that he was.

    I've been listening to Happy in Galoshes and Blaster and I like both a lot so far.

    Was never big on Weiland but I decided to make my thru his work.

    Blaster is very good.

    I like 12 Bar Blues a great deal.

    And I enjoyed about half of the Art of Anarchy album.

    Not keen on Happy In Galoshes or either VR album

    If you had to pick between Blaster and 12 Bar Blues, which do you like better?

    Blaster...by a hair
