I hate Kings of Leon.
I also hate all those supposedly "alternative" rock bands like Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd and Seether because they are a bunch of f**king fakes and their music sucks.

Two more;
Bee Gees; their very early psych stuff was almost tolerable, but as soon as they mutated into a white-boy soft-disco abomination and started trying to shrink their own nuts via tight trousers they turned into the most laughable band of their era. Helpfully, two of them grew beards so you could tell they weren't Kate Bush and Linda Ronstadt.
INXS; Talk about milking it. Name me a founding member other than Michael Hutchence. Go on. Can't can you? And yet they carried on without him. Had to cancel a tour here with NZs very own Jon Stevens on vocals because they could sell any tickets. And that's in New Zealand, hardly the most discerning throng of music lovers on the planet. Oh, and I didn't even mention the sound. Second hand unoriginal mush.

Bee Gees and INXS are hardly rock bands, Jamster....

Depends on the definition. Bee Gees certainly started off as a rock band, and INXS certainly think they are...

Found this definition of a "Rock Band":
'Popular music ensemble that depends on amplified strings, percussion, and electronically generated sounds'
That just about covers everything, I would have thought. Even the Bee Gees 
(Dunno about the "popular music" bit tho')
(Dunno about the "popular music" bit tho')Van Halen. There's another band I hate. I do admire Mr E van Halen's guitar virtuosity, but collectively they suck the big one. In my humble opinion.

I cant stand U2, Silver Chair, Creed, most modern Death Metal.
Are Status Quo still alive? FFS another overated band. Bay City Rollers are pretty rank too!

Def Leppard - f**k I hate them.
Not as much as me, HN. In my darkest moments, I get up in the middle of the night and start plotting every act of violence I can think of inflicting on the members of that pathetic, sorry excuse for a rock band.
I really, really hate them.

sh*t, I forgot all about Genesis and Phil "f**king" Collins. I hate them with a rare passion. As much as Queen and The Eagles? Not quite, but some of the landfill they have passed off for music over their pitiful career should be erased from the archives. Permanently deleted. Expunged.

Supergroove; How the hell these talentless wonders ever got anywhere I'll never know. A kind of third rate Red Hot Chili Peppers, which is bad enough because RHCPs themselves are second rate.
Couldn't agree more. Why on earth they get so much earplay on The Rock baffles me. They aren't even rock. Che Fu is their lead singer FFS.
I love The Rock but always turn it off as soon as a Supergroove song comes on.

I'm gonna put this one out there - Shihad.
Nice guys but they have really lost their way over the years. Having had a chance to listen to some more of their new album I can now see no difference between them and Matchbox 20 (or countless other bland "radio friendly" rock bands).
Back in the early days they were a lean, mean, riffing machine but not any more. It's sooooo disappointing!

Yes... they seem to have become the epitome of commercially bland unfortunately.

The latest album is a bit ropey. Was very disappointed with it. I believe Jon Toogood is quoted as saying that some of the tracks on it were 'dance songs'. Oh dear.

Did anyone else hear the story from Jon Toogood on how a few years ago, he was at a cafe in Cuba Street with his daughter and one of his daughters friends asked her what her dads band was like. She replied "Kind of like Linkin Park but not as good"
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
He said he always wanted to use that quote on some Shihad promotional material.

jeezuz, I was away for a few hours and was thinking of adding these guys.
Now I'm convinced, for f**k sake Toogood, put some f**king clothes on and grow up. I had the misfortune of seeing them live 3 times, but only because I was waiting for other bands.
Only Iggy can get away with being shirtless and still look cool

Any truth in the rumour that somebody right at the back at an Iggy gig said "I dunno what he's wearing but he should've ironed it first"

Yip, Shihad are bad, and no mistake. Fair dibs to them though; surviving the Pacifier renaming debacle and in fact coming through it none the worse off is one hell of a bullet-dodge. "Jihad/Shihad, duh, I know, let's get some publicity and change our name".
And while we are on the Kiwi music theme; The Datsuns. Dreadful third-hand Led Leppard / Pink Sabbath rip-offs, trying to pass themselves off as "garage" even though John Paul Jones was roped in to produce their godawful second album. I saw them play once in a tiny Ak bar (in fact about 5 times in total, I was working there) before they were big and the guitarist thought it was "rock n roll" to stand on a table while playing and knock all the beer off it. The folk at the table were none to pleased, and I had to placate them with free drinks. And fair enough - they didn't ask for a cro-magnon to play keepy-uppy with their ale. Considering there were only about 40 people there the guy came across as a proper 'nad.
D4 were way better yet only got about a tenth of the "success".

Dunno. It was just Rolf Harris crying and then I had to go to the pub.
Can anyone shed any light on the Rolf Harris crying on the news / Derek having to go to the pub mystery?

That's why it's not called music anymore me laddie. Sound Art.
No , really (well, maybe, you'll have to judge)if it makes a noise and creates an emotional response it might be music.
Although saying that, if we have happy and sad music, is it possible to have, say, jealous music?
Decending from the philosophical to practical level (otherwise the citation below might sound a bit hollow), if you think Slipknot and Metallica are just noise, I should lend you my Anal c**t, Crawl Noise, Sore Throat, Extreme noise terror....recordings. You'll be thinking Slipknot are Bros clones!
