Agreed, even though this may piss many people off. Don't get me wrong, I like Tool, I like A Perfect Circle (a bit more than Tool in some ways), yet people lose their shit over Maynard. Recently they played at a local festival/concert that featured a lot of bands. They debuted some new songs and there's videos of it uploaded to Youtube. The comments section is nothing but "how dare you people crowd surf to Tool!" or "how dare you people disrespect Maynard and pull out your phones to record this!"
It's music dude. It doesn't hold that much value. Quit acting like Maynard has to be worshiped anytime he graces someone with his presence. It's like everyone should avert their eyes the second he enters the room. Besides, if those people didn't whip out their phones, you wouldn't have a video to comment on right now.

Your entire post makes me want to hunt you down and rip your arms off. STP, Bush, Soundgarden, and Metallica were/are literally some of my favorite bands growing up in the 90's.
The thing about music is it is important to put in context of when it was released. A band like the Beatles may seem like they are mediocre by today's standards. However at the time there was just nothing like them and they inspired a revolution of the music industry. The bands you listed above all became famous in the early 90s... listen to 80s hair bands and then listen to any of the above and you will see that they were very much the first generation of "modern music" or whatever you want to call it. The grunge era changed things in much the same way the Beatles changed rock n roll in the 60s. An entirely different sound was born that simply didn't exist before hand.
But to the Q:
George Straight is the most overrated artist in the history of music.
I live in Texas also...

Meh. I like 90's music a lot, including Grunge, those bands (sans Metallica) just do not do it for me. Nirvana was good. I like Alice in Chains (a bit more hard rock if you ask me, but definitely some Grunge sound). But I think with STP, Bush, and Soundgarden, it's the vocals I don't like. Weiland isn't that great. Cornell, even though his voice is unique and I won't say he's a bad vocalist, it just doesn't really fluff my Garfield, if you know what I mean. In fact the only two songs I kind of like with Cornell being the vocalist is probably Audioslave's "Like a Stone" and Soundgarden's "Burden in My Hand".
I think I like Grunge for the same reasons I like punk rock. Many of the songs sound like degenerate music and the lead singers usually sound so whacked on heroin that they haven't been able to shit in weeks. Cornell has too good of a voice to have that sound. |
