League Of Rock: Winner

[GoGo Yubari]

Metallica? I hope that was a joke that I'm not getting. Metallica winning would have been a farce since they haven't been good in at least a decade.

Clearly Radiohead deserved to win.

But hype won out as it always does.

*hugs Jook* Good work, shame about the result mate.

Pearl Jam = Sellouts

RHCP = Better than Pearl Jam

Nirvana = People who should have won.

That covers everything anyone needed to know about rock, oh and:

Led Zeppelin = Sellouts

[Sabu]

The RHCP's are awesome! I have their Greatest Hits CD, and it's one of the best CD's I have.

[DMN in the House]

Man, its simple, since Slayer or KoRn didn't win, it was a horrible contest.

I thought they peaked at Ride the Lightning and quickly fell downwards.

That was a great joke, i might have to go tell it to a few mates, and make them laugh as much as i am at the minute. Keep em rolling.

Hahahahahahahahaha... oh wait, you were serious.

Anyone could have been Nirvana. Hell, Nirvana was the Sex Pistols over again. Nirvana stopped being musicians and started being entertainers after Bleach. As well, Nirvana are worse than sell-outs (a term you used twice, when it shouldn't have); they honestly became everything they loathed about the music business.

Pearl Jam are NOT sell-outs. Red Hot Chilli Peppers would be the sell-outs, whoring themselves left and right.

I'd like to hear your definition, exactely, on what a sell-out is. Because for some reason, I don't think you quite understand. Any rock band with credibility that makes it big must be a sell-out, right?

At least Muse didn't win, they suck.

Agreed. Shells < Metallica.

[Guest Wrestling_Man]

Can't believe I missed that tournament. Was Iron Maiden in it? Because in my opinion, if it was in it, it would've won the whole thing.

How in the hell do you call Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam sell-outs?

Kings of Rock? RHCP? It's too hard to define 'rock' these days, sure, back in the day, the Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, & The Who were rock, but nowadays, it's just a big fucking messy puddle of shit, i mean, Metallica are old school Metal, nuff said, they aren't called Rocktica, they're metal. RHCP have a lot more funk and mellow side to them than rock, whereas the main people claiming to be 'rock' these days are the likes of The Strokes & The White Shites who are sadly indie but refuse to admit that fact. True rock is dead sadly.

You've got to give them credit for Master of Puppets. That was an amazing album. And Justice For All was a good album but that's where they started to become more commercial. The "black" album was good but at that point they were completely a commercial radio/Mtv friendly band. Everything after that sucked huge monkey balls.

[DMN in the House]

Master of Puppets is a kickass song, thats all I'm gonna say.

And right now, the best 'newer' rock band is easily Hoobastank.

Agree with almost everything you said. Even the White Stripes comment. Although, I think it was me who nominated RHCP, and Metallica, myself. I nominated the best bands in my opinion, and like you say, it's difficult to define true rock. But I wouldn't say it was dead. And for the record, just started listening to Fade to Black, and it 0wns.
