rock is mindless drivel for the kids

conservatism is da neu countah culcha

what's not

so he admits. foo fighters are shit
thx dave

>mindless pop and dance tunes

hmmmm

classical

It's another case of "Old man forgets that there exists music outside of Top 40".

Dave confirmed for writing every ''electronic is not real music'' comment on YouTube.

He totally loves that "DJ Fuckhead" video from that mouthbreather Rollins.

somehow i always knew it was him

I love Grohl, but grunge didn't come out of thin air. Grunge culture was really just an offshoot of pre-existing alternative rock scenes. Madchester, for example, predates grunge by a good bit. Grunge was just bleaker and heavier.

I really wish we had something like Madchester in the states during the 90s. So fun, so positive and Americans would have loved the hedonism of it all. Fuck Kurt man.

madchester wouldn't really work in a nation of jocks and high school shooters

When did he say that? Link?

Grunge was "popular music"

It was at some point "pop". What Grohl really means is a counterculture to popular music. And its the same since the beginning. Classic blues, metal and classical music. Duh.

Fuck man, hes so dumb.

I was born in '98, would have missed it regardless. Feels bad, man. Not only did Madchester set alternative rock in motion, but the acid house/rave culture which hugely influenced electronic music. I'm a bleepsfag personally, so I would've loved to have seen it for myself.

I can dream.

Why is it that during music discussion, young people always state what year they were born in? Nobody cares you mong

I was just saying that it didn't matter to me if the US had gotten their own Madchester, since I couldn't have experienced it.
Calm your tits.

...not even user, but wtf??

Great music exists, you've just gotta look for it

America and Europe had pretty different social climates in the early 90s, there's a reason grunge took off here and not Britpop and vice versa.

lyl Foo Fighters are music for 40 year old businessmen to listen to while working out on the treadmill.

I wouldn't have been able to experience it anyway either but I don't go around yelling what year I was born in

triggered

i don't give a fuck, whatever new shit comes out is gonna suck because i'm already old thanks to obongo

Lighten up, dude.

FF were good for the first two albums only, after that they just became generic mallrock.

That and 15 year-olds who have wheel taste in music.

i wish he just died

that's not very nice, brah

youtu.be/0TqnFVfDJTM?t=26s

Why dude? That rant was so moronic.

>le Bonham triplet man
fuck off

fucking heck what's his problem

can't he see that kids don't follow chart trends now with the availability provided by the internet? He just can't find good music because he's lazy and too rich to waste time with it.

>Music back then was just a lot of mindless pop and dance tunes
>in '89 to '91

Rock and metal was still much larger back then in mainstream than it is today.

>mindless pop and dance tunes

hmm yes this really gets the neurons firing

youtube.com/watch?v=SBjQ9tuuTJQ

Besides, the 1989-91 period he's talking about had lots of interesting, diverse stuff going on, actually more interesting than post-91 when the rock world became a monoculture of faggots in flannel shirts.

What's wrong with The Pretender? Or is there some underlying double meaning to your post?

It can happen again but not with foo fighters

youtube.com/watch?v=ctScBtvmYh8

Dave said that he considered Lorde one of the best artists out today.

What.

So in other words, the way to save music is with...another Foo Fighters album! That's what we all need!

Its dumb

she's got appeal because she's an autistic, passionate, kiwi who don't need no man and just loves to boogie as best as white gurrrrls can

Oh man if I saw this I would have flipped out even if he was as rusty as that video.

is he really that rusty though?

Enough for a drummer to notice, he was going literary nowhere with that solo it was just wank.

Kek
that's worse than krist giving lil wayne props

...

>those triplets on the snare at 40 seconds in
yeah no, the fills are neat, but get it wasn't all that crisp, little man
I mean, it kinda seemed like that was the point

after seeing their performance at Glastonbury it's pretty obvious that they're all just a bunch of outdated dad-rockers. They spent so much of the performance just playing the old basic rock riffs in between actual songs and they all had fucking massive solos.

Nobody should be fucking playing solos anymore. It's just an opportunity for a musician to ego-trip and take a chunk out of the song for themselves. They're essentially wanking off into the audiences mouth. Guitar solos hardly ever add anything to the song, they just disrupt the entire flow of it.

Rock is dead and it should be.

I beg to fucking differ

Knock it off Dave, you fat 46 year old zillionaire. You're not a 19 year old kid playing in a garage in Seattle anymore.

I feel like the only point of a Foo Fighters performance is like those Djent bands now where only music students would really get what's going on and feel like they like it. It's hardly music for the public now, it's outdated.

All the Foo Fighters are is just Grohl living out his stupid rockstar fantasy. No substance.

I'll give her props for being a 16 yr old setting a standard for todays shit mainstream pop music but the bitchs career is going nowhere. Just another one trick pony waiting to be phased out

>16 yr old
she's 20

Don't you have a Kanye thread to post in or something?

16 when she released her debut I believe. Or just a little older maybe 17.

ahh then yeah you'd be right then, although I don't agree with the phasing out, but that might just be my waifuism blurring my vision.

user was talking about her debut...

>Lorde
I love her cousin's food review channel.

All this amazing music from 1989, same for 1990 and 1991

Good music was always available if you paid attention and looked for it.
You can check the same chart without the metal tag if youre not a metalfag.

apparently he tossed a non-halal mcchicken at the attackers forcing them to suicide earlier

>Rock is dead and it should be

God, this guy sucks ass
le edgy raspy vocals and generic rock

To be fair, Christgau was complaining about this 30+ years ago.

That was the point. You had a wide range of glam rock, alternative, alternametal, thrash, and everything else competing for the charts in 1989-91 as opposed to the grunge monoculture after 1991.

still trying to figure out reviewbrahs endgame

He has an autistic passion for fast food. Th-There's nothing else t-to it...

hmmm.....

No I mean that whole macho stadium metal thing is outdated and stale as fuck, this isn't 1985.

>I think the situation now is a lot like it was in '89 to '91 right before Nirvana broke.

So... he's saying that Foo Fighters don't make good music? I'm glad we can agree on one thing.

Their first album was pretty good though, to be fair.

Well, they're old faggots who grew up in that time. Guitar music isn't outdated, just that particular approach to it. I mean, if some 25 year olds of today are playing guitar music, it logically isn't going to sound like pastiche AC/DC since their influences and cultural background are totally different.

their cultural background is pokemon and crazy frog

As much as we shit on this guy, maybe he was onto sometime all along.

>And because I'd heard a lot of jazz, I remained unimpressed with the cult of the guitar solo. So I came to believe that the essence of popular music lay in momentum and good song form.

Bands were already moving away from that stadium metal sound in the 90s, take a band like Korn...they didn't play solos at all.

Most grunge bands still did that shit.

I hate this guy, there's something seriously wrong with a guy who's exterior is 100% nice.

He sells that meme too hard, he must have a very high opinion of himself, he's probably a massive fucking dick in reality.

Most of them had been playing in bands since the 80s though, guys like Manson and Jonathan Davis were a little younger, they were born in the 70s instead of the 60s, their approach was a little more modern and not as rooted in that dadrock AOR metal sound.

He's actually a control-freak narcissistic cunt behind closed doors.

>inb4 >UG

Right. Trent Reznor was born in 1965, he always talks about wanting to take the listener on a journey, which is exactly what the AOR of his childhood did.

You remind me of my cousin who saw Frank Zappa in the early 80s and the audience were all redneck football jock types who ate up his generic shitty blues rock solos like Tasty Kakes. When he wanted to play a classical piece, they started booing so he just shrugged and went back to doing blues rock noodling.

Yeah well, it was acceptable back then, that shit is totally antiquated now, nobody needs an Angus Young or an Eddie Van Halen in 2017.

Check out Purling Hiss's first EP.
The problem is not "solos", the problem is that the vast majority of bands that use them pretty much imitate jimmi hendrix and led zep.

Uh huh. That Hendrix blues rock shit actually became out of date with Van Halen.

This is still retarded to say, there was always good underground music, just because normiefaggots were grunge obsessed doesn't mean other music didn't happen

the 90s are the golden age of extreme metal

Funny because I see more Hendrix than EVH imitators out there even though in theory the former's sound is older and more outdated.

There's fewer EVH imitators because of a stigma surrounding that 80s shredder sound. People associate it with bands that are better off not being mentioned.

What could be the future of guitar solos? Technical wankery is dead and irrelevant, where can it go from here? I think the more melodic/reverb-y/atmospheric stuff like Robin Guthrie and The Edge could fill the void.

*jazz

fixed that 4 u

I mean, really. That blues/wah-wah pedal sound was mind-blowing in 1969, today it's just tired.

>today it's just tired
you can thank Tom Morello and Jack White for killing the wah wah shit

That's the least surprising thing I've ever heard.

He's way too calculating to be a nice person, everything he does when in the limelight is so gross, like "look at me, look how down to earth and real I am with all of you"
