    Long Songs

    Limp Bizkit's "Everything" from the "Third Dollar Bill Y'All" album is 16:28...
  2. There goes another myth: I thought everybody liked Weezer. (Another myth of mine was that eveybody liked Metallica)
  3. I hate when people ditch on Creed and Alter Bridge, they have some tremendous lyrical backing and the vocals always make up for some relatively mediocre music, but in no way are they a bad band IMO, just average in certain aspects. I think both of them are hugely underrated bands. Creed, especially on "Weathered" had some fantastic, adventurous (sp? damnit I can't spell that fucking word!) and inspiring guitar melodies, lyrics and other great features. And you know what, there's nothing wrong with all with just outbursts of grinding synchornised guitar and bass as it comes off as powerful. Meanwhile, Alter Bridge are unfairly labelled as Creed with a new singer (in the context of Creed haters). Creed are awesome, but you can tell from "One Day Remains" that Alter Bridge are fantastic. The vocals match the compositions, Tremonti's guitar solos show how he was possibly held back in Creed as you can tell from this album he is talented and some of the drumming is fucking amazing (Metalingus, anyone?*). That too and it keeps up the grinding of bass and guitar together, especially in my favourite track of the album: Watch Your Words. I think both are labelled as average as they join Nickelback in the post-grunge, alternative metal genre. And of course, everything that's post-grunge rips off Nirvana and Nirvana are the lolzords! *For those unawareness of that song - it's Edge's theme tune.
  4. I'm sure 99% of my college *cough*WANKERS*cough* would easily jump on that oppotunity. Limp Bizkit are the second band I ever got into (1st: Lightning Seeds) since hearing "My Way" as the theme to Wrestlemania X7 and thought it was a great song... It still is as I listen to it right now. The only black mark in terms of their music they have is Rollin'. I think it comes down to how people sometimes care too much of the image and go: "I don't listen to Limp Bizkit because Fred Durst is a wanker" without even listening to the music.
  5. For a commercial band, they are rather unique in sound, really. I did mean for a commercial band. While we're "treated" to songs like Kaiser Chiefs and whatever crap Pete Doherty's peddling - you've got Muse doing songs like Stockholm Syndrome, New Born (and moving away from singles) Microcuts which are completely against what the sound of popular bands is in contemporary times. I love how a lot of Muse's songs are complicated. It's much more innovative and exciting to listen to. Also, yes - most people will listen to Fozzy on the first go because they're fans of Chris Jericho's wrestling. But after the first listen - especially of "All That Remains" - Fozzy become much more than "that band Jericho fronts".
  6. I think Muse are the greatest band in the world. Unfortunately music seems to be about more about image and coolness these days (that's why NME humps Pete "I'm a fucking tool" Doherty)... Muse are anti-cool with their uniqueness and weirdness apparently.
  7. Thank the fucking WWE for that... Fozzy rule but Jericho's always brought Fozzy into the mix when he's a heel against a wigger like Cena. I think a large chunk of what I listen to is what people usually define as shit music. Because it's evident I like them as they'll be in the list, here's every band on my MP3 Player. If any of you guys are bored, bold the ones you think are crap or who people like to insult. And if any of you bold The Beatles, you shall be shot! Oh and before I continue, NME gave Limp Bizkit's Greatest Hits Album 0 out of 10 - so it must be fantastic! Go back to your indie music where intensity is defined by wobbly voices, fuckers. Anyway, the band list on my MP3 Player: 01. Alter Bridge 02. Ash 03. Creed 04. Foo Fighters 05. Fozzy 06. Franz Ferdinand 07. Guns and Roses 08. Jet 09. Limp Bizkit 10. Linkin Park 11. Lostprophets 12. Manic Street Preachers 13. Metallica 14. Muse 15. New York Dolls 16. Nickelback 17. Placebo 18. Puddle Of Mudd 19. Queens of the Stone Age 20. Red Hot Chili Peppers 21. Sum 41 22. Supergrass 24. The Beatles 25. The Darkness 26. The Hives 27. The Lightning Seeds 28. The White Stripes 29. The Zutons 30. Weezer In my own opinion - Alter Bridge, Creed, Fozzy, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Lostprophets, Muse, New York Dolls, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Sum 41, The Darkness and possible The Hives would go underneath the category...
  8. Five words: Plan 9 From Outta Space...
  9. That is a lie and you know it is! I'm surprised QOTSA is at #2 - maybe Germany loves them more than they love David Hasslehoff. Although the album is great, Lullabies To Paralyse is better on so many levels. Nirvana at number 1 is unsurprising. Yes, they are overrated and yes, Kurt killing himself to avoid Nirvana becoming a commercialistic goldmine is ironic as people listened to them as an indirect result of it (the media coverage etc.). The first five tracks on this particular album are pretty good though.

    Best Episodes?

    I agree with all three of those (although was the vampire really necessary in "The Body"?)... Also I love "Band Candy" from season three just for the pure comic value. Futurama: Roswell That Ends Well..... The episode is the eptimy of what Futurama was, a highly quotable science-fiction show that got a bit controversial at times considering how (especially here in England) it is marketed more towards children. In this episode, Fry has sex with his own Grandmother and becomes his own Grandfather. This episode also rules because it features heavy doses of Dr Zoidberg. And we all know Dr Zoidberg equals ratings. Family Guy: I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar..... I think this episode got even funnier after a year of feminist texts in English Literature ground my mind down into a pool of hatred for women's want of superiority. There were some hilarious skits like Peter in the girl's locker rooms and the classic line of: "Holy crap! Dad's a chick!" Spaced: Mettle...... "The first rule of Robot Club is: you do not talk about robot club. The second rule is, you do not talk... Oh wait, hang on a minute... The second rule is: NO SMOKING!" Hex: Episode titles? Ha! ...... Hex is probably the best British show out there at the moment. After a slow and boring series 1, things have kicked off to a level beyond original expectancy. Thanks to how things are acted out, you legitimately care for Ella. The episode I'm referring to is the last one that has aired at the moment here in England. I was grinding all episode for Ella to escape! Shows rarely do that. Boston Legal: "Danny Crane, Trix are for kids." Just thought I'd get the random quote in there too.
  11. I'm going to give 7/10 here. It's effective and sharp without using all of the brush crap that can sometimes become more of the picture than the actual cuts itself. (Note: Any chance you can remove the WWE logo from Dreamer's shirt? )
  12. You can barely make out the writing above "The Imperfect" and you wasted the middle of the picture. Nice pictures though. Now have them nekked! 6/10 EDIT BY CHRIS: 700th post! Woo yay!
  13. American Dad third??? Bloody hell, that show is so tame compared to Family Guy. They've had a couple of moments like Stan's slight racial tendency but it could easily pass off as a kids show with a bit of editing. Also - Extreme Makeover is a fucking awful show that should die of leperosy. In England, we do our makeover shows by giving tips on how to make your house more beautiful. In this, it is psychological bullshit, where people who wollow in their own self-pity cry like babies while people fix up their house. Whoopee. Also, with James Bond connotations, video diaries and just the word "Extreme" in the title - it's stupid.

    Tupac

    Last time I checked, didn't Tupac just so happen have written two films scripts as well or something? In my opinion - the conspiracy shouldn't be if he's dead, it should be if he planned his own death. Nobody couldn't have so much stuff unreleased without knowing or something. :blink:
  15. The Beatles may be the origin of a boy band, but at least they played their own fucking instruments! (Y) Good list - and the lack of Linkin Park will surely make thirteen year olds have tantrums. Good job y'all!
  16. Hopefully The Beatles. And... Greenday 6th??? I see their appearances in Smash Hits magazine have influenced that result. :blink: Good to see Foo Fighters in the top ten, just a shame they lost to Nirvana. Nirvana, in my opinion, are the most overrated rock band in the history of rock music.
  17. 12th for Muse, get in! I'm taking a guess that either Metallica/Beatles or Zepplin will be first. Either that or Linkin Park or OPM will win - who knows how many thirteen year old kids got to vote. :blink:
  18. Muse better be in the top 20 damn you.
  19. Oh god yes. First American Idiot every ten minutes, then Boulevard of Broken dreams every ten minutes on at least four or five different stations, then Holiday every fifteen minutes, then the long stupid one with three actual lines in the song... yeah. I cannot stand American Idiot anymore just because the songs from it are SO DAMN OVERPLAYED. Try having to have Radio 1 on at work for a five hour shift. It's either them or the fucking Kaiser Chiefs playing.
  20. I hope you were kidding there, unless you mean one made by THQ. Still though, the third LoW was just awful. Yeah, by THQ. Acclaim's LOW series was lame. Good rosters though, shame it was lame.
  21. Oh I see. The Darkness beat The Beastie Boys, maybe that's what he's WTF'ing about. The Darkness rule though - it beats the shit out of quite a few that's been on the list so far.
  22. Random thought: Do you think Jake Roberts' finishers will be the DDT and the Snake Masturbation? Also, for some reason, I'll mark out if they include Hulk Hogan's WCW theme tune ('American Made') too. I don't know why, but I prefer it over 'Real American' as it's more rocky. I'm also marking for the legends cage. The way that the Smackdown series is going and how the WWE now have this legends shtick, am I the only one who thinks a seperate Legends of Wrestling type game is inevitable?
  23. Emo, in the eyes of the emoist (it's my word of the week), is basically being pretentious. Dress up in black clothes, go cry in a corner, talk about killing yourself. Yo man, you're deep and everybody will love up for being deep. Emo, as the music genre, is generally where they place pop bands or more radio friendly rock bands who are unmarketable to the mainstream audience due to whatever problems (IE: they're poofs ) so they aim for a demographic instead. Emo is for teenagers who's puberty is bringing them down into depression so they listen to stuff like this to make them feel better. If anything, Linkin Park is emo.
  24. As long as Hollywood Hogan comes along with nWo theme music, I'm happy. ... Wrestlemania IX arena? They have the arena of the only Wrestlemania to be dubbed as Wrestlecrap? Damn.
  25. What if it was Morgan Freeman? Morgan Freeman is a good actor. He's also got a big johnson. So does Saddam. Actually, I'm betting some of you would see a movie with Saddam and Brit or Paris, huh? Saddam Hussein and the Weapon of Ass Destruction..........sorry I couldn't help myself. That's okay. You tried and that's the important thing. (Actually I got a chuckle from it)... "Sex is crazy good." - That has surely got to be the best quote since "Queering don't make the world work." Do you think Britney became a teen popstar so she could dodge that final English exam?
