Songs you hate by bands you like


Pie™

Recommended Posts

I guess you all have songs we don't like made by bands you love...

Just give some examples :)

 

Here's some of mine;

 

Nightwish - The Carpenter

Metallica - Dirty Window, Frantic, and pretty much everything else on St Anger (and much of the other crap that came after the black album :) )

Red Hot Chilipeppers - Venice Queen

 

And lots of more... :p

 

More examples?

Eh, everyone makes a few bad ones. I, for one, hate late fleetwood mac, mainly the stuff they made in the 80's. Their late 70's stuff was good as well, but it was nothing compared to Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac in the late 60's. They were the ****.

 

And Z, I'm telling you, that album is gold man. Aerosmith doesn't even play it like its the blues. They play blues songs but they play it hard and dirty. It's a great album. Just give it time. But the title is awful...

Yeah, most tracks on St Anger are pretty poor. Also, I have trouble listening to a few songs on Faith No More's Album of the Year. I guess I'm just an Angel Dust whore ;)

 

It took me a while to get into Album of the Year, but I like it. Angel Dust and King for a Day are better in my opinion.

 

As for songs I hate by bands I like, I'd have to say Scream of the Butterfly and Morticians Flame by Acid Bath. Too soft.

So am I reading that they piss on the greatness of the blues by screeching and riffing on it?

 

Aerosmith was a band that I grew up with in the early 70's, but they were always an 'also-ran' ... it seems they are over-appreciated by virtue of longevity (like the 'irrellevent since the early 70's Stones)

Besides the fact that the "great" blues songs were defined by simple riffs and chords, I would say you don't know what you're talking about. And if you are trying to down-play Joe Perry's guitar skills just because he is known for playing straight out rock and roll, you sir are in the wrong. Joe can handle the blues man. He's got some skill. You may be right about the screeching part though. That IS something Steve Tyler does, but he does it well.

 

Hey, its a definite step up from what they have been releasing since the late 80's and throughout the 90's. And it's nice for a change to see a band play the blues without such reverence. I'm not saying the blues doeesn't deserve this, which it does, but it's been done countless times. It's a nice change to see a popluar current band play the blues in a different way.

 

If you wan't to listen to the "greatness" of the blues, by no means, go listen to a Buddy Guy cd. But if you want to listen to something a little different, played by a current band, listen to the cd.

I misinterpreted what you were saying. When you said 'they don't play it like the blues', I interpreted that like Britney Spears doing Beatles covers and someone saying 'they don't sound so old and complicated like those beatles yukkies' ... if you get my meaning.

 

The blues were always played hard and dirty as well, so I wasn't sure how to interpret that.

 

It is always nice to see some of these aging rockers do more than prop themselves up on their laurels, act 30 and pretend they matter as more than a nostalgia trip. Most don't. Jeff Beck is one of the few actually doing something I want to hear not for his history as being the most talented guitarist of the brit-rock era (yes, including Claptop & Page) but as an innovative current artist with something to say.

 

I can't say that I've ever placed Joe Perry as more than 2nd tier - which isn't bad. I look at him much the same as I do Alex Lifeson - there are others who were doing basically the same thing the same way before him (in Lifeson's case it was Alan Holdsworth, in Perry you hear Page and all of those other late 60's guys).

 

I haven't heard much since they were trying to re-make themselves as some sort of MTV-era American-Stones circus act in the late 80's ... I just don't keep up with pop music.

Yeah, txa, I understand what you mean about aging rockers. Every time I hear about the Who on tour I again, I can't help but hang my head in shame. And you're right about Joe Perry. I don't mean to make him sound like some guitar god, but he is second rate at best. That doesnt mean he can't play some good stuff, but he has nothing on some of the better guitarists out there.

Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

 

I love Green Day, but they came out with an acoustic song? I want good hard riffs and punk when listening to Green Day. I like a good slow song, but for that I listen to Norah Jones or Cat Stevens NOT Green Day. It just doesn't fit their style. So, I never listen to it.
