The shredder's gurn:

"Classical music can be fun!"

The continued and inexplicable inability of this cunt to kill himself 40+ years ago

Black Metal! - what makes Black Metal so hillarious is the artists' total lack of humor and irony over what they do.

Guitar wankery and 80's Metal - The 80's gave birth to the Yngwie Malmsteens, Joe Satrianis and Steve Vai's of this world...

.....and in doing so they have created a whole new generation who wish to follow in their footsteps. Bands like Dragonforce writing bullshit boring songs about magical beings, dragons and wizards ...

Also bands that are 'Oh So Metal'

"SERIOUS FACE"

Superfluous strings/ session bassists:

Corpse paint [proviso - this is so awful it's actually brilliant]

"Get some gospel singers in, that'll make it a bit less shit. London community gospel choir, they'll do [it's always them that'll fucking do]"

"The Beach Boys had a theramin - that'll make our songs less shit as well" [NB - does not apply to Add N to X]

Glice · 07.29.2007, 03:05 PM

Ha. Great minds, Mr Machine.

Danny Himself · 07.29.2007, 03:09 PM

The beach boys didn't use a theremin..

sellouteater · 07.29.2007, 03:16 PM

THis thread is mazing it makes me want to laugh and then commit sucide and then take an axe to one half the people i know and one third of the gutarist i know

Glice · 07.29.2007, 03:18 PM

Yes yes, Herr Muso, but the accepted wisdom amongst much of musician-kind is that they did.

The now ironic lighter in the air during a power ballad thing.

Made 20 times worse with the non-ironic cell phone in the air.

Thats one of these bad boys, a singing saw. They sound about the same.

Power ballads

Lighters in the air

Closing your eyes when singing a slow song

"I can't hear you!!!"

Going off stage having not performed the only famous song you have. Oh, I wonder if there'll be an encore.

Keyboard guitars.

Katrina and the Waves' Walking on Sunshine

Saxophone solos in the middle of every pop song (you probably had to be alive in the late 1980's to appreciate the annoyance of this)

Rap breaks in the middle of every pop song (you probably had to be alive in the early 1990's to appreciate the annoyance of this)

Nothing wrong with these things. Nope. Nothing.

Inflatable satan!

The only time it looked cool was when I seen this band called Kids In Glass Houses do it. But they had an inflatable palm tree. The only thing was the band was a slightly shit emo band from the infamous South Wales Post-Hardcore scene. So yeah Inflatable objects invariably mean the band is utter shite.

How about I am making music here to shock your views.
