Indeed. I felt like clarifying my opinion further because, sadly, that was NOT the saddest thing I've heard this month.

Ouch.  Bad month, eh?

The sad truth about most heavy metal, like most of everything else, is that it's crap. If any of it is put in some "rock n roll hall of fame" (oh, the irony in THAT institution), then the lyrics should written on toilet paper and installed in the bathrooms of said hall of fame.

KILL IT WITH FIRE. PLEASE.

QuoteThe last band that "happened" doesn't even matter in context of all the other bands JUST LIKE IT, and also people think they are real aware if they can just list some names that they think everyone else knows (or better yet, has just barely heard of).  Like you say the name of a band that is really popular but which "everyone knows" totally sucks and that's some sort of amazing cultural critique. 

I hung around with some perverts and some rock climbers and they were all "jargon jargon jargon", and it was exactly the same thing.  Totally irrelevant outside of their closely drawn confines.  Insight into popular culture is like keeping meticulous records of the activities of your hamster.

Yeah. Fuck jargon, fuck metal, fuck pop cultures, fuck grunge, fuck punk, fuck "country", etc. ad nauseum. Especially fuck GENRES. Everybody knows that rule about 99% of everything sucking kong dong.

'Scuse me while I plug my mp3 player into the stereo and piss off the neighbors as it jumps from psychedelic to new wave to Tex Mex to George Clinton to Johnny Cash.

The very IDEA of a rock n roll hall of fame makes me cringe.

If you're a rock n roller, you're going to be remembered...And your music is going to do the job.  At least, it will do the job far better than a schmaltzy museum in Cleveland, Ohio.  Jesus, how depressing is THAT? 

Worse, it was co-founded by Jann Wenner, who had his last good or even relevant idea in 1967.

Wenner's either senile or trolling. Look at the people who get inducted (or don't), it's like the Grammys.

Apparently, he leans on the judges pretty hard so that music he doesn't like doesn't get in, and music he does like does get in.

That's the only thing that makes sense. They always have a bullshit excuse for not inducting people.

So is Brittney in yet? She's been on the cover of RS a few times, I think. :puke:

The RRHF is where dried-up careers go to finalize their death plans. It's a preemptive funeral parlor. It's also a multi-million-dollar pad for premortem circlejerks, where people whose influence has waned can gather and reminisce and play 25-year-old songs nobody wants to hear anymore. Induction speeches are all blowhards trying to out-epitaph each other, and the whole thing is a gigantic orgy of coughing, wheezing, bitching about the Chemo, and twitching from too many years of drug abuse.

In fact, if it was any more centered around death, it would make a decent subject for a real metal song. That is, if it wasn't in fucking Cleveland.

Cleveland offered to pay for it.  That was Wenner's only criteria.  It could just as easily been in Cowfucker, Indiana.

Because making fun of Metalheads' hair is a novel thing, even in this thread.

My band in high school got the Hanson comment. My smart ass shouted "MMM-Bop!" back at them. A fight almost broke out until the other guitarist casually pulled his knife out of his pocket.

I was referencing Trip's calling them girlfriends. Your comment was valid. Metalheads must always look serious in a picture. Or otherwise look like they're having a shouting good time. However for that to work, there must be half consumed beers in the picture.

However, Leonard Cohen's acceptance speech was EPIC.
