Jennifer Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Ummm, the topic is closed now, but here is my reply:Thanks everyone for the updates, that covers the basics. Now it's wait and see. About 4 years ago when they was a lot of hype about the album, I was so excited and then terribly disappointed. I really hope this is it!As a teenager I was a huge fan and I still am. I miss the good old days, but I have passed the torch to my 10 year old son. He loves GNR. Whenever we are in the car, I usually listen to GNR, Skid Row, Scorpions, Led Zep, etc. My favorites are the 80's hair bands. Don't laugh! But that's what I grew up with. The other day I look over at Joe and he's singing along with a Dio song and it tickled me to death. I absolutely hate new rock. Sorry folks, I'm sure some of you love it. But I can't help it, I don't like anything new. Gone are the days when the lead singer of a rock band could actually carry a tune. A lot of stuff recently just sounds to me like screaming and lots of instruments to cover the fact that they can't sing. Well, I like few songs, Kid Rock....mmmm okay. But I am glad I have unknowingly influenced my son's taste in music. He wants a Van Halen CD now. I'm so proud!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) Well my favorite kind of music is...a lead singer who has..I guess you'd call it range. I know that Skid Row wasn't near as popular as GNR was in their day, but I liked them because Sabastian Bach could really belt it out. And I love the clear screaming ripping sound of a single guitar solo. Most of new bands these days-what I dislike is that I rarely understand the words of the song. Classic rock bands like Led Zep & CCR most of the time would make the meaning of the song pretty clear.And now a confession: I also like what you call: New Jack Swing. For example New Edition, Bell Bic Devoe, Mint Condition, Bobby Brown, Toni Tony Tone, Color Me Badd. Along with 80s Metal & New Jack, I'm a sucker for patriotic songs-Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA, and others. And, cough, Jackson 5 cough cough. Yes I am aware I have a strange taste of music. I haven't listened to any of the new GNR music yet. I have retrained myself until I can hear it on the radio or buy the CD. I really don't have any opinon yet, only that I hope I like it!Alter Bridge? Edited March 9, 2006 by Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

life_247 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Jennifer, you should listen to Alter Bridge. Oh common you cannot be serious. Listen to "Hurricane Party", "Glitterati" or "Towers of London" (sorry there all UK bands) for rock. I dont hate every new band but a lot of mainstream americian rock is complete rubbish (So is a lot of mainstream hip hop - just not discriminating). We have a different problem with "Art Rock" in the uk - Science students at uni should not start bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
