RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 jesus Christ, give it a break ... You sound like someone from the Westboro Baptist Church sometimes Bit of an extreme comparison there, Lucas. You guys should get naked and hug it out. That wouldn't be the first time JB knows me well enough to know that this is all to be taken with a grain of salt Anyways, I could give a frog's fat ass who likes what and who doesn't like it and the high brow relevance of any of this .. There was some article in a Japanese newspaper about the suggestion of AKB48 performing at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, and the uproar that the idea caused ... The outcry was that AKB would be an embarrassment to not only the country but the entire Olympic tradition .. And that made me love them even more .. Going all the way back to The Ronettes I've always loved girl vocal groups ... I really don't need to make it any more important than it is, chicks just have a certain energy and power when they all get to doing something in unison To each their own, but I'm good with the fact that I'm on the side of enjoying something as opposed to the alternative ... In fact, I know exactly what the guy in the blue vest is feeling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Ds4uRSr6M From your many posts on this board I concluded that you're a huge Japanophile. Am I right? Although though that vid is Korean... North? I prefer Peter North. His missile could blow up that piece of shit "Rocket Man."

Going back to Meiko Kaji and Hako Yamasaki all the way up to AKB48, yes ... I also really like some Kpop performers too - Sistar, Kara, 4Minute .. The girl group has always had a place in my heart ... The Ronettes, The Pearls, Shirelles, etc I hear a plaintive, sad tone though out a lot of the songs from the Japanese females ... There is also that quality in the horror films ( a totally different topic ), but it is something that appeals to me in a way that a lot of Western music doesn't .. An exception to that is The Carpenters, as no matter what the song subject, Karen Carpenter seemed to have a added dimension to her delivery .. The songwriting for AKB can be flawless, and in many cases the influence from the 60s and 70s is obvious The composition and arrangement here is pretty incredible for a modern pop song ..

J2112YYZ Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Personally I don't give a f**k if Sabaton or Lacuna Coil never ever win a Grammy. They're too good for it anyway. Rock isn't dead, it's just too good to be mainstream I LOVE SABATON! I would say I agree but Mastodon just won and they are amazing. SABATONOFSHITE I'm surprised you don't like their over the top metal cheesiness and their insanely catchy songs. Then again, they did have the unmitigated gall to form as a band and release albums after 1990. So I can see why you wouldn't like them ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure CHEESE. Although you would be impressed J21. I just bought my ROSS THE BOSS ticket. MANOWAR guitarist hitting the road. I love MANOWAR! Sabaton is like The Village People on HGH cross dressed with well Manowar. "Primo Victoria" is an excellent video. Very ACCEPT but where the fukk is the guitar solo? NO BUENO!

RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Rock And Roll will be dead in North America in ten years. A given. At least Japan will still reissue all the good shit on cd when America just depends on compressed shite downloads. When Apple Music and all that iTune shite crashes one year. I will still have my useless cds and something called a five cd disc changer. Thank God for Yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Grammys died for me when Celine Dion won album of the year over Odelay, Mellon Collie and The Score. Today’s “rock” is wimpy Disney pop with pro tool bands like Maroon 5 and One Republic. Rock ain’t supposed to be safe and for soccer moms. Doesn’t matter if it’s hard or folk. Classic folk rock had grit compared to crap like Sheeran and Bon Iver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic folk rock had grit compared to crap like Sheeran and Bon Iver. Ed Sheeran is not rock and every generation has had superstar blandness leading the mainstream. Nothing new. Even the seventies had some god awful pop music that I think is a lot worse than a lot of modern music (Gary Glitter comes to mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 I think the genres that most of us grew up with and loved are truly dying a slow death. I was so excited to see STYX, JOAN JETT and TESLA last night, yet at the end of the night I wasn't digging it. I was bored for the first time seeing STYX, granted I see them once a year and the set was very much the same. The compact disc is dying too. Yet vinyls are surging. That's a good thing. I have no idea what I'm going to do in ten years from now. Maybe I will take up underwater basket weaving. Become a sailor. Lick stamps for a living. Chase butterflies. Search for that last bit of sunshine in my stomach. Become a monk. Move to Maui. Swim with the fishes.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
