x1yyz Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If there is one thing that I honestly CANNOT stand and it pisses me off SO much is fans who turn their back on their favorite band because of these reasons. A. It's not the original band anymore B. The lead singer doesn't sound the same as he did 30 years ago. How the HELL can you possible classify yourself as a fan of whatever band if you're just going to complain about stuff that obviously comes with the package with older bands? A true fan stands by their band and their bands history, good or bad. And if you're going to sit there and say stuff like "David Lee Roth is a horrible singer, I don't like VH anymore." or "Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer aren't real members of KISS and they suck now." Then guess what, you obviously don't support those bands anymore. So you're saying that in order to be a fan one has to love absolutely everything about them? I think that would fall more under the obsessive category. I think real fans acknowledge the good and bad about a band and love them anyway. I love my husband but I there are still things about him I don't like (why are you snoring, for chrissakes!), so why shouldn't the same sort of thing apply to bands I love? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many beauties of Rush. No changes but they are far from perfect either despite that incredible fact... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, loving a certain era of this bands work more and in some cases way more isn't a crime either. Disliking entire albums and eras isn't either. Being brutally honest about Geds voice failing him live these days doesn't make you less a fan either, just a realist... :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 There's some non-Cherone VH I like. I don't think it makes me any less of a fan to think the DLR and Sammy editions don't quite measure up. :laughing guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I will say this - when I first got here I was surprised to see so much criticism of the band. I only join a specific artist's fan forum if I like their entire discography, so I was a little weirded out by all the people wishing for their retirement and shit like that. and it's no secret I've gotten in some pretty stupid arguments with people over their opinions on this or that. but at the end of the day, the guy who's spent thousands and thousands on rush crap since the 70s has a right to bitch if he wants to, just like I have a right to enjoy rush's "shitty records" if I want to. and fraroc, look at it like this. at least you still enjoy things! who cares what other people think of rush? personally, I can't help but feel like someone who joins a fan forum and spends most of their time criticizing said band is just trying to seem cool. like, "I'm so not a fanboy, look what I'll say about my favorite band! just ignore my 50,000 posts, rush aren't worth a shit!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) as far as music fan pet peeves go, ignoring what the OP was talking about and derailing this f***er, the only thing coming to mind right now is punk and indie fans who avoid metal or 70s rock so as to not damage their "cred."
