Andrew Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1493309/20041029/story.jhtmlhttp://www.mtv.com/music/special_features/nirvana/Wow, this box set looks like it would be good to have for any Nirvana fan that has $70.Lots of Unreleased songs (68) and I'm pretty sure there are some "new" songs on it too.Comes with some unseen video too. 60 page full color booklet.http://www.nirvanabox.com/You can watch a preview of what there is to see on it. Live! Sold Out! Tonight! was a great video, I can only hope that this box set will be better, once I can get my hands on a copy. (Maybe the library will get it.)Funny in the preview it asks "What might the last great band have sounded like next?"My question is has there been a "great" band since Nirvana?

gunner154 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Personally, I do not listen to many bands. But since Nirvana... there are quite some good ones. If you're talking about rock bands, that is.Rage Against the Machine is good, solid stuff.Guns N' Roses is also good.But older stuff is of course equally good, if not better. Like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple... The Beatles ;DIf you want to talk about stuff you can hear on the radio today, I guess you should stick to Radiohead and The Darkness. Almost everything else is crap IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal89999 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 The Darkness? :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Is that look because of the frontman or because of the music? If the reason is the former, he doesn't behave like... like... like that in other videos. If you just can't stand him, listen to the music.If it is the latter... well... you're probably a Linkin Park fan. ;) (no offense, I was once an LP fan but now I detest them).

AWACS Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 If you just can't stand him, listen to the music.It was the listening to the music that put me off them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seal89999 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 My thoughts precisely.... :)Personally I think Linkin Park is a much greater band than The Darkness but lets not turn this into a debate now folks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert_Eagle25 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Linkin Park is a corporate band. They got some good stuff though. To compare Linkin Park and The Darkness is madness though - they may both be considered "Rock", but Rock is a very wide spectrum, both being on opposite ends. A better comparison would be say...AFI and Good Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Linkin Park --> Posers (IMO)The Darkness --> Hard RockGood Charlotte --> Punk Pop (the real punk rock are the ramones, sex pistols and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 umno rage against the machine is far from punk, punk is the sex pistols, the clash, flogging molly, greenday, old AFI, the distillers, the casualties, and rancid.rage against the machine is just rock, like the offspring, audioslave etc. RAtM are not punk at all, they don't even sound like punk. If you want an awesome punk band then check out rancid.and never ever ever compare a fire inside to good charlotte! >:( AFI is one damn good band while good charlotte is crap.linkin park is just rock, I don't care for them at all but whatever.gun n rose is hair metal like motley crue, bon jovi etc.back on topic. . . Nirvana is the only grunge band I like, they're just classic. Dave has truly moved on; being in the foo fighters, queens of the stone age and also doing the drumming for tenacious D. He's truly a fine musician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Linkin Park does not deserve to be classified as rock... it's like Evanescence, but oh well...Sorry, my bad. Rage is Funk/Hard Rock. It works both ways.Yeah Guns N' Roses is Hair Metal, but Metal and Rock are very similar, so normally we place them together. Think Black Sabbath. They are not solely Metal. They're hard rock too.

Acriku Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I don't understand why people think Linkin Park are posers? Who are they trying to pose as? They're playing some damn good music, Reanaimation being my favorite album, and they look like they're enjoying it all. Get off your immature, poser-calling, "real"-oriented arse and just enjoy the music for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are "The Man"!) but we sure as hell arn't talking Pearl Jam here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 Did linkin park play at local bars and stuff before they were big? How long before they made it big? Did they make a CD that did not sell well before making an album that sold many?If they were making that music before they were bought up (like any band) by a music company, then there is not much of a problem.

Is it principle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 It relates to whether they are a manufactured band that a company put out.What Mahdi said:You mean commitee-made corporate rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Ah, got ya. So would you say that this is a principle thing more than a quality-of-music thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
