Things in music that piss me off? Shit, you guys shouldn't have done this.
- Britney Spears
- The media's exploitation of Britney Spears
- Radio
- MTV
- Side 2 of Def Leppard's Hysteria
- How fucking underrated Buddy Guy is
- People who will instantly write off a band (see: Van Halen and Motley Crue) when they try something other than cock rock anthems and lyrics comparing women to food.
- On that note, Sammy Hagar's lyric-writing abilities.
- Ignorance to highly influential and important artists.
- The whole 'it was Yoko's fault' bullshit.
- Kurt Cobain (though this goes beyond a music thing).
- St. Anger
- The sad, sad attempts at being politically relevant ("just like Rage Against The Machine!!11
"). I'm looking at you Green Day.
- Fall Out Boy
- Natasha Bedingfield.
- Miley Cyrus.
- The fact that the Jonas Brothers have a record deal.
- The fact that 'female lead singer' is actually taken into consideration when deciding whether or not to listen to a band.
- Today's 'Rap' and 'Hip-Hop'. "I'm rich, I treat females like shit, and I have metal in my teeth. I am awesome, and you are not. And I'm not going to acknowledge that I would be nothing without you."
- The fact that I felt I had to be embarassed for listening to certain bands not even that long ago.
- Metallica fanboys.
- Dragonforce.
- Whatever the newest, most popular form of "extreme" metal is nowadays. Playing a million miles an hour is not talent. Precision doesn't even equal talent. Go listen to Hendrix fucko.
- Any band that wore bands or facepaint after Alice Cooper.
- That it is impossible to find Black Sabbath albums that don't feature Ozzy or Dio.
- Arguments about who is better. Who gives a fuck? Ozzy is a frontman, Dio is a singer. See also: Van Halen, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Metallica/Megadeth.
- My own beligerence and closed-mindedness towards certain bands, like Poison (there you go Syd).
- Bon Jovi. When you go from a second-rate hair metal band to a third-rate country band, it's time to just throw in the Leopard skin cowboy hat.
- The members of Poison. Way to kill good hair metal.
- U2. Fuck you Bono. Fuck you.
- Oasis.
- Jet.
- Conspiracy Theorists- Elvis is dead, Kurt Cobain commit suicide. Shit happens.
- Boston's third and fourth albums.
- People who avoid Christian rock because of the name.
- These piracy arguments. I'm against it, it's a personal choice. But physical copies of music DO sound better. And why not throw a few bucks down to show your favorite artists some support?
- The fact that most albums released nowadays are two singles and 8 tracks of filler, which causes kids to illegally download it.
- Bob Rock. You're a producer man. Just because your band of Police-wannabes had a single hit, doesn't mean you have to act like a member of every band you produce.
- Timbaland. Ooh, I can hit three buttons, make this song by Chris Cornell sound exactly like that one song by Justin Timberlake, put MY name all over it, and make more money than the artists themselves.
- The sale of band t-shirts in American Eagle-like clothing stores. This causes an extreme influx of barbies wearing Guns N' Roses t-shirts, without ever even hearing a song, save maybe 'Sweet Child O' Mine'.
- NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE MUSIC ANYMORE. I mean, don't get me wrong, part of my plan as a musician is to make a stupid amount of money and have groupies snort lines of my dick, but I know what every one of my albums is going to sound like, who it'll pay homage to, and how it will sound in relation to the other albums I release.
- There's no such thing as selling-out, only reaching out to a larger audience. Sometimes it's for the fanbase, sometimes it's for the money.
- People who refuse to acknowledge their obvious influences. Yo, Green Day, no matter how much you deny, American Idiot simply would not exist in it's current form without Tommy or The Wall.
- The 'GNR isn't GNR without Slash and Duff' argument. Axl Rose is Guns N' Roses. I mean, he owes his entire career to the face that he hooked up with the right people, who are legends in their own right, but it was always his vision.
- Celine Dion.
There will be more.
