Aerosmith to Disband?

[ink]

 the rolling stones are as far  from "great" as you can get,(sry cap) and Greatfull dead are further then they are,  the beatles  what can I say about them, gee lets all cut our hair short so the parents wont hate us...biggest commercial band ever!!  

I know lots of people love these bands and I just cant figure out why  

and AC/DC  oh boy lets play the same notes for every song, straight up laughable  

KISS...hey I got an Idea lets put face paint on and play really loud and make a big show with fire so people will like us cuz we are Different even though we can only play at one speed and have a horrible singer and horrible guitar player ect ect...

Metallica was once good but they went the commercial route at the Black album and destroyed themselves, Megadeath is a much better band.

   quick list of the greatest bands

Led Zeppelin  top of the pyramid NO one touches them. the Pinnacle of Rock and Roll. Greatest of all time, crem-de-la-crem of rock and roll, Best of the Best, the top dog, the grand poo ba,the fastest fish in the sea, the brightest star in the sky, the biggest building on the block ect ect... Kieth Richards/Joe Perry are not worthy to string Jimi Page's Guitar,   did I say that I like Led Zeppelin
Megadeath
Black Sabbath
Flotsam & Jetsam
Iron Maiden
Jimi Hendrix
Judas priest
The Guess Who
The Doors
Queen
Ten years after
Cream
The Animals
Bad Company
Rush
Fleetwood Mac

of course this is Just MNSHO

Areosmith does rate up there with Led Zepplin BUT Zepplin went out with class, Areosmith is just sucking every penny out of the public before they go away.

Oh my word I haven't Laughed that hard in a looooooooooong time.

Ink I do find myself agreeing with most of your thoughts here, and your list of great bands is for the most part similar to mine.  However I have to respectfully and completely disagree with your assessment of the Stones. (and to a lesser extent, the dead)  Just curious what you don't like about the Stones is all, as you didn't say *why* they were/are far from great.

This coming from a guy who put Cream and Flotsam&Jetsam in his list of legendary bands....           

Talk about using the same tune for every song...Metallica...The Doors...Judas Priest.

Should have stuck with the mushroom tea instead of trying to light up that banana peel...

 they have a couple of songs I would not change from the radio but thats it, most of there music is exactly the same, I judge a band on how the Music makes me feel, whether they are able to change styles and do it good, the percentage of good to bad songs, the stones much like the Beatles (who I really cant stand), are a commercial band, and every member is mediocre at best.

Hopefully they work things out.

you probably never even heard Flotsam & Jetsam,list one song with out "google"  and I never smoked banana peels, I stick to the great green Herb

you obviously did not read,  Metallica I listed as one of the most over rated.

Disagree...even the worst of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s was nowhere near as bad as what is popular today...and you know what I'm talking about..

And yet you could hear/read this stament in every generation again. When I grew up in early 80's, I was lectured by "old" 30yo guys about how much todays music sucks, there ain't "nothing good out there anymore". So was my mother in the 60's: "You seriously don't want to call that yeah yeah yeah stuff music? Beatles? Just a bunch of monkeys"

Ink..  everyone has there Opinions of who's the best, We all know what Opinions are like right?   I'm 49 seen Zepplin many times, seen Aerosmith when they was a warm up band, They were good in there day BUT Aerosmiths days a long gone, you made a list some i agree, The others are you kidding me?  like i said its Opinions.

[CAP1]

Make that 95%...what is considered popular today should be banned for pure stupidity.

Those are the only groups I agree as being major suxxors...otherwise you need to wash your mouth out with soap...Aerosmith rates up there with Led Zepplin and the Stones as legends in 20th century music...the crap that's being listened to today in most categories doesn't even rate mention.

I WAS being generous, so as to not offend too many people.


the beatles do not suck.....at all.

[CAP1]

Same could be said about 95% that was popular 20, 30, 40 or even 50 years ago. It's just that most of the crap of that times is forgotten now. And so the low-quality stuff of today will fall into obscurity as well.


Unfortunately they aren't alone there. Many former great bands missed the point to disband before becoming their own cover band.. or caricature even.

music from the 50's 60's and 70's still to this day recieves air time.


50 years from now, i highly doubt that todays music will still be seeing the same. but more than likely the 50, 60, qand 70's stuff will.

[CAP1]

anybody that has seen aerosmith live will agree with me when i say that they are NOT their own cover band  

i saw them at the spectrum back in 1985.

their show was friggin awesome, and they sound as good live as they do on their albums....something 99% of todays bands can't say.

I wish I could have seen Zeppelin, I am 40, I started listening to them in 1980, I think it has a lot to do with the Fact that my brother who was 4 years older then me loved them more then any one else, he died when I was 10 and ever since then just cant get enough of em, plus the fact that they all are great musicians, they don't have one bad song, and they Quit when Bonham died. showing him huge amounts of respect,

I know a couple of the bands I listed are not truly "Great" but  the wife made me add a couple

I heard one song compliments of a friend...sounded like thrash punk or something like that...maybe death metal...rather listen to Helmet, much better band...still not in the same league as Megadeth, Sabbath or Zepplin.


You still have to explain Cream...The Doors...and Judas Priest.  

If you liked that cowflop you should have liked Motorhead and Montrose...  

[68ZooM]

Ink.. i got to see Zepplin in 77 and 78 when they played in the Seattle Kingdome, i remember when all the local stations were saying that when they played Stairway to Heaven  that the Kingdome roof was going to fall in, lol when that song played 95% was looking up, lol i didn't care i was baked and having a blast, The Kingdome had some excellent bands that played there, Zepplin, Heart, Robin Trower, Pat Travers, Black Sabbath, Rush (seen them 5 times) Queen, oh man i could go on about all the bands I've seen there

Flotsam would maybe classified as "thrash metal" or "speed metal" definitely not "death metal" they have all great band members, and sing about real stuff. there singer is phenomenal!!  if you dont like hard fast music with great singing, who sing about the crooked Government, you wont like them.

motorhead sux hard core, never heard of Montrose.

cream was a great 60's band that made feel good music,
The Doors well they had a great writer for a singer and played music that you feel,  
Judas Priest  there singer is also awesome, there music is extremely tight, they can change up awesomely and they are all about the music.


to the Op sorry bout the Hijack.
