thirteen Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If you think simplistic chords are better than blazing, intricate guitar solos then you don't even deserve to call yourself a music fan. I voted for Hair metal, but honestly I don't care if a song uses simple chords and/or blazing & intricate guitar solos. I only care that the song is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Nirvana saved rock. End of.Other bands were coming up at the same time to fill that role if need be such as Alice in chains, pearl jam, sound garden.You can say the same thing regarding the Beatles and the British Invasion. And the Ramones and Punk Rock. Band in the right place at the right time with the talent to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 If you think simplistic chords are better than blazing, intricate guitar solos then you don't even deserve to call yourself a music fan.What simplistic chords are you talking about? The major and minor ones that contain the notes that make up all of our music and Vito bratta's solos?

You don't know what you're talking about.I think basic chords and riffs make a more powerful and lasting impression on most music fans and people.

Theres nothing wrong with a simple riff, it's only when a band does nothing but put out songs with simple riffs. That's what the main problem, for me, was with most "modern rock" from 2006-2012 (bands like Creed and Nickelback). That and the godawful deep, whiny vocals that 100% ripped off of Eddie Vedder.

End of.Other bands were coming up at the same time to fill that role if need be such as Alice in chains, pearl jam, sound garden. I knew AIC before Nirvana. Headbangers Ball rotated the videos for Man In The Box and Sea Of Sorrow a lot. Facelift was certified gold before Nirvana broke huge. Yeah, Nirvana made a huge impact but AIC doesn't seem to get the credit they deserve for being the first successful band from the early 90s Seattle scene. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Nirvana released its first album in 1989 and became a fairly established band. One of the reasons Nevermind broke big is because it crossed more commercial barriers than Alice in Chains. Simply put, more people liked, or thought they liked, Nirvana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
