They could....
They might make you decide you wanted to kill Avenged Sevenfold thus ladning yourself in jail... I guess they could change your life in that way.
Sadly I like them better than fucking disturbed...

Disturbed has 0 redeeming qualities. There are very few bands I say that about.

I don't think I've heard either. Probably best I don't. Who knows, I might end up liking them. Then I'd have to kill myself. Which would be really life-changing.

They also lack originality in the marketing department...

EDIT: Click the link, sorry I couldn't find a good source for the image I was looking for.

That's actually made me quite intrigued to hear them.:eek:

Basically, Korn minus the creativity.

disturbed used to be hilarious!

"ohh-wah-cacaca"

ffs

korn are not creative

Blimey. They really are unbelievably rubbish aren't they! I'm surprised they have a record deal, let alone a fanbase.

the guitar sounds deliciously evil right at the beginning

Hahaha. Word-for-word, too.

I was about to say, "Actually, the song 'Walk' was really good."

But it's by Pantera.

Please tell me that nobody over the age of 8 actually likes them.

pantera were great.

disturbed are very ridiculous, funny as shit. at least the first album.

I think the shock of a lot of youth music is that the older generation simply don't get it. And you, my dear, clearly don't get Soulja Boy. Not that I do myself. I'd be surprised if anyone over 18 did. And that's why a lot of kids love it. Because it really, really pisses people older than them off. Maybe the big change since the late 70s is that by now people are expecting young people's music to be different from theirs.

I'll tell you one thing that pisses me off. Kids no more than 17 going on about fucking Clapton. I'd prescribe them all masses of gurners and a visit to Helter Skelter. Your teen years are the time to listen to music that is deeply regrettable in years to come. It's a time to wear clothes that you'll never be able to pull off in maturity. Look at the nu-ravers. I would look... actually, I'm fucking amazing at clothes, so let's assume the 'I' is someone other than me... 'I' would look fucking awful dressed like a nu-raver, because I'm not a lithe and slightly spotty, bad-haircutted 17-year-old.

To summarise - if the music you're listening to doesn't piss off your parents, you're doing something wrong.

I agree to an extent, but I think it's fine for kids to listen to Clapton, too. While my dad seemed quite confused when he found out I liked Neil Diamond ("Huh...That was old people music even when it came out...") they still couldn't stand (and still can't, I imagine, though I no longer listen to hardcore/metal) most of my music. Now theres about 1/3 of my CDs that my dad borrows on occasion and 2/3 he would never even touch. It's a delicate balance.

EDIT: Oversubordination rules.

I absolutely agree with this. Pop music is a young person's game. I can't stand it when people my age force their opinions on kids.

Getting older should be about becoming comfortable with your own taste, not worrying about those of kids who are no doubt having an absolutely brilliant time, regardless of whether some wide waisted old fart like me thinks what they're listening to is utter poo - which I usually do.

There are two great joys in a person's musical path. The first takes place in your early teens when you develop your first musical obsession, the second comes much later, when you realise that, actually, Dire Strait's first album is a bit of a corker. But if I ever saw a 17 year old bopping along to Sultans of Swing, I'd hang the imaginationless little bore from the nearest willow.

Classic rock is like pyjamas. You need a good few years before realising that, actually, they're great. But you need those years to prove it. Wearing pyjamas before your thirty is, like listening to Dire Straits, a complete betrayal of your youth.

I expect there's a 40+ year old chap reading this going, "Ah, I remember that. I hope that jumped up little twat doesn't think he's old enough to listen to Chris Rea. That's for people my age".

The thing that makes me uncomfortable (sometimes) is the bands that I like that the kiddies of 16-19 or so also like, and I get a bit too excited and starting gashing on about how if they like x they should listen to [hopelessly obscure]y. You see their eyes glaze over and they're looking around for their mates, but they're not there, so the only option is the toilet, which they've just come from. Next thing you know, they've had to suffer the indignity of me realising that I'm one of those people t'other side of 25 who is, in fact, a bit of a music snob/ bore, no matter how many times I say I like Michael Jackson. Luckily, I don't hang around with kiddies that young too often, if I can help it.

Incidentally, it makes me feel slightly relieved that I still think Dire Straits are pretty dull. Ten years ago I would've said something far more vituperous (but it's unlikely I'd've known what 'vituperous' meant).

Well it's certainly my new word for the day.
