As sad as a musicians death is, Foo Fighters is definitely a better band and I'm thankful to have them.

Eh?
The Foo Fighters are a mainstream band with some good songs. Nirvana was a pioneering marvel. It's perhaps not something a high schooler can see who is only looking back on a genre that pretty well got perfected and then tapped out in a decade you weren't even old enough to remember, but for those of us who lived the transition from 80's to 90's, it was something special. Not that 80's weren't fantastic, but it was time for something new, and Nirvana and Pearl Jam delivered.

If there had been no Nirvana and the Foo Fighters had tried to form earlier, since a group's sound tends to be tailored to what else is out there, they probably would've gone metal. A new metal band forming when people were getting really tired of hearing metal endlessly being played probably means you never would have heard of the Foo Fighters, since they never would've gone anywhere.
They're a band of their time, and that's definitely late 90's into 00's.

Yeah I mean it's been speculated by myself, my mom, and my brother that Melvin is probably my dad's "gay lover" since they are weirdly close for a couple of middle-aged men but they have known each other since 1st grade so they could just be really close friends.
Idk either way and I would never ask him about it except maybe on his deathbed but whatever makes him happy is fine by me. My whole family has always been happy and Melvin has never interfered with that, in fact he is awesome to chill with so I don't really have any problems with whatever the situation is.

Yeah, the melvin inspired Nirvana and are one of the earliest grunge bands. But what a lot of people don't know is that when they inspired nirvana they were barely bigger than just a local band. After Nevermind came out, Kurt got a a lot of pull with the record companies, and used it to sign grunge bands that he liked to bigger and better record deals and help promote them. Without Nirvana, the melvens would probably just be another extremley talented band, that no one ever heard of.

"Growing up on them," ain't, "Growing up on them in context with what came before." I grew up on 80's music -- that doesn't mean I know what the 80's meant to someone who lived through the 70's. I'll never knew what it was like to be thankful for the death of disco since I never lived with it.

Towards the end of the 80's everything was so commercialized and stale. We were sick and tired of glam rock. When grunge came, it was like everything changed overnight.

Foo Fighters have a commercial sound while Nirvana revolutionized music. You can't compare the two. Foo Fighters are great and have some fantastic songs, but they're not breaking any new ground in the musical landscape. Their coming on the scene didn't end grunge or gangsta rap. It didn't put a dent in boy bands and bubblegum pop.
If you prefer them, that's fine. Just please don't try to compare them to Nirvana's place in the history of music. It's not a place held because they're "the best ever," just like NWA isn't credited as the best gangsta rap group in history. They're given their place for how they changed music.

Except not many people give a **** . Modern music is relevant through popularity, popularity comes from taste. You can call it a bandwagon if you want to be wrong but as far as rock bands go nowadays Foo Fighters is huge, Nirvana isnt.

To be fair, Nirvana hasn't existed since 1994 and they only started touring in 1989. Nirvana was literally the biggest band in the world at one point in the 90's, only a few short years after forming, whereas the Foo Fighters have gained similar ground but over the course of 20 years.

In terms of musical influences, the Foo Fighters wouldn't exist as we know it if Nirvana didn't happen.

Wouldst know what? how big Nirvana used to be, like when i used to collect the tapes and cds? I do know, its not big now though, the music only appeals to a couple genres. Foo Fighters is a modern Band that appeals to a modern audience. Maybe in 20 years people will say Foo Fighters are old and bad but right now Nirvana is nothing, its irrelevant. Sorry your so butt hurt over people not liking your favorite band.

Rest in Piece Cobain.

Just typical herd behavior with a side of self-selection bias. Sheeple try to align with the prevailing opinion, so whatever direction the initial reactions are will heavily influence the ones that follow. Those not inclined tend to opt out rather than opposing the flow, so all that's left are the bandwagoneers, and they vote accordingly.

The behavior's not really complicated. If you wanted to farm thumbs for some reason, it's as easy as:
1. Post retarded opinion as anon.
2. Log in and disagree with it.

And if you want to avoid negative thumbs, you never disagree with the prevailing direction the replies are going.

Since I don't care what 14 year olds think, I just say what I want.

I was just explaining your idiocy in another comment. By your logic, raping a woman is not bad because funnyjunk says they think rape is bad. But because FJ say's rape is bad, that idea is very likely "ignorant, [and] stupid."

Again, I'm not coming to FJs defense. I am apart of this community, but I recognize it is flawed and that there is a lot of bias. FJ is guilty of a lot of confirmation bias. However you are no better than anyone else if you are generalizing all of FJ into a narrow-minded opinion.

Now I will do a rednite and wait to see how you twist my words and call me a moron. I'll mention now that if you get edgy, stupid, or irrational then I will "hide all" and block you on the spot. No, that doesn't make me a coward that can't argue, that just makes me a guy who doesn't want to ruin his day by debating with someone who has yet to display proper rhetoric, or any truly logical thought.

Have they put any thought into why rape is bad? No. They don't even know what adults mean when we say, "bad." Their opinions are based on nothing but what they've been told.
FJ's agreement is completely meaningless. If they haven't been told an answer, you can bet that what they've put together on their own is hilariously incomplete.
There's a reason we don't let 14 year olds vote.

You realize that it shouldn't require thought to say that rape is bad. Or that killing another human for reasons other than self defense is wrong? I gave you two, call it three, chances, and you are approaching this from the wrong way. You are focused on saying that FJ is wrong, that no one thinks, and that anyone who identifies by FJ is wrong. However here you are arguing on FJ, and probably visit rather regularly. Perhaps you don't. I do though, and whether I like it or not, that makes me a part of the community in some way. That is how I know you are wrong, because I do spend a lot of time thinking about my own opinions and how to be less biased. I can say with certainty that I believe rape to be wrong and that such an idea is agreed upon by the the "FJ hive mind." That does not make the idea wrong, and while some people refuse to think, as you appear to be doing, it doesn't mean that I do not think.

Goodbye, I hope you figure out better ideas. I will now be hiding your comments and blocking you. If you approach as anon then I will simply ignore you, and if you persist then I will log out and enjoy the potentially amusing content on FJ free of you.

Where the hell do you get off? And why do you keep getting on and off? Half your comments are fine, hell, I agree with them. But then you post this **** . All rednite said was that in his opinion Foo Fighters is better than Nirvana, he didn't even claim it as a truth, "just personal taste."

Suddenly you come up and say that because his opinion happens to be what some of the jackasses are saying, that he must be a herd type. Like what the hell? And then you claim that because you strongly disagree with someone they must be a 14 year old with not reliable opinion or ideas. (Which I find to be a bit ironic since often it's edgy kids who are into the grungy stuff. Not to say it can't be enjoyed as an adult, I still like some Nirvana, but those who dislike "conforming" and following the herd tend to get into grungy/edgy stuff and then say how they are better than the sheeple.)

Am I reading it all wrong or are you truly a moron? Foo Fighters is a good band, you said it yourself. I'm not claiming that Nirvana didn't help initiate the grungy era, but Foo Fighters has kept some new and modern rock alive. Sure, Nirvana could be claimed to have been pioneers, but, just like the music of the previous generation, there comes a time when everyone needs something new.

You not understanding basic human behavior doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Cute that you think your comfort with a conclusion has anything to do with its truth.
You never thought to wonder why thumbs are hidden for a bit? FJ has a bandwagon mentality. Admin has the stats that prove it, and anyone who's been on this site and paid the least bit of attention has observed it. FJ does not exhibit a consistent personality -- they can agree with two opposite positions on the same page. How? Separate dogpiles.
This is not rocket science, kid.

See, you address ideas with a hint of logic behind it. I have in fact taken a few psychology courses, no I am not an expert. I have read interesting studies, such as related statistics, no I do not know everything.

Yet there you go, assuming that I am an arrogant asshole, and that the only way to converse with me is to dry and ruin my credibility. I have reason to believe that I do in fact have an "understanding [of] basic human behavior." And immediately in the following sentence you again raise yourself to a higher point by addressing my ideas as cute. Can you please sit back for a moment and recognize that such actions is not desirable for a proper discussion? It is typically best to listen to another persons ideas, take them in, process them, and then figure how they relate to your own and whether or not your own ideas may be wrong.

I am well aware this isn't rocket science, and I am beyond the age of being a legal minor. I also have friends, teachers and associates who would credit me with not thinking like a kid. I sincerely hope you reconsider your approach to arguing or discussing ideas. As of now I would say your attempts are weak at best and will only serve to irritate those around you, or attract other undesirable personalities.

Yes you addressed my comments on the bandwagon/group-mentality of FJ. However you failed to even mention my argument on the original topic. Are you avoiding it? I do not know why you choose to write or think this way, and I find it unfortunate you aren't willing to simply discuss or even debate a topic. You fall to name calling and pointing out obvious and very well-known facts.

If basing an argument around fallacies is how you want to argue, then I believe you should revisit your ideas. If not, I hope you can find someone to do it elsewhere.

(I admit to being partially guilty of name calling as well, as I did refer to your ideas as idiocy. I hope that doesn't discredit me too much.)

Grohl had written and recorded demos for many of the songs featured on the first Foo Fighters album, but he recorded the actual album after Kurt's death in 1994. Kurt was considering co-writing new Nirvana material with Grohl, so it's more than possible that many early Foo's songs would've been altered into Nirvana songs

its easy to say beatles are overrated now, they dont sound all that amazing now because we have so much music that is the same or better. but in their day they were trailblazers. just liek the rolling stones or led zep, or elvis they are the founders and the sculptors of what is rock music. they are founding fathers of rock. nowadays what they did seems mediocre, because you listen to their music and think "no different from other rock bands" but the point isnt that they are different its that they were the FIRST they invented that **** , or at least popularised it in a manner that it would become something.

nirvana...yeah they were overrated alot in fairness. they were hyped alot because they were the representatives of grunge on the national scene. bands like pearl jam or chris cornell were alot better, but nirvana did have some of the best songs, rape me, smells like teen spirit and heart shaped box were the epitomy of that genres hard hitting and slightly twisted feel that was not quite metal but not quite rock either

God damn, everyone loves her cause she's 12.. But she doesn't write her jokes and people who do only write things about popular opinions so everyone thinks she's hip and kewl.

Yes you can. By popularity.

Power metal alone is more popular than deathcore. Deathcore might kill death and black metal, but as far as I am concerned those genres were dead years ago.

Power metal "looks" popular due to ultra-commercial bands like Sabaton (which I've grown to utterly hate, can't see a ******* WW2 content without some faggots bringing up that overhyped band)

I don't listen much to Sabaton. They aren't melodic enough for me. I gravitate more towards Symphony X, Allen-Lande, Power Quest, Symphorce, Freedom Call, Sonata Arctica, and Heavenly. I know very few people exactly two that do not enjoy power metal, but I know dozens that despise or simply dislike black and death metal/

That's because power metal is incredibly accessible and easy to listen to, doesn't require much thought or attention from the listener

As for the "dozens that despise or simply dislike black and death metal"... well, each to their own possibilities. Ten minutes of atmospheric, instrumental black metal tell me a whole lot more than 10 songs about virtue, honor, glory and all that faggotron **** .

You listen to the wrong power metal, apparently. I personally like death and black metal, but very little of anything good has come from those genres for quite some time. Power metal, on the other hand, has been improving rather steadily, in terms of instrumental and compositional skill and the content of the songs. Sabaton is the exception, not the rule, and the time of fantasy metal is long past.

Well luckily bands like Behemoth, Carcass or Watain are still holding the battle flag pretty high

You may be right about the power metal that I'm used to, but then again I was never attracted to overly melodic stuff anyway, best for me is a mix of both worlds (hence why I like a lot of Arch Enemy stuff, especially older songs)

Nirvana was a punk influenced, they didn't kill anything. And Grunge was formed from metal and gravitated towards a hard rock to alternative sound. In fact, the two biggest bands that pioneered the movement whose early albums were metal in nature were Soundgarden and Alice in Chains you uneducated ******* .

Nirvana is far from grunge, and grunge was its own genre

Metal didn't die. It's still very much alive today, but nothing like it used to be. The age of metalica is long over. Disturbed and the like have taken its place.

Changing tastes dictate music, and in the case of metal it evolved to suit a new generation of metal listeners. It's not grunge, but it isn't old metal.

Similar to how rock went from the beetles to kiss to seether.

More like 5, but they're widely listened to still today. They're still popular enough to shoot out new albums.

Core **** is usually scream **** , and I have no idea why it's so popular in some parts of the world. It's not popular in my area.

Then again, techno really, REALLY is.

But if you are of the group that listens to rock, metal and the like, you typically listen to a huge general variety from Metallica to Rage Against The Machine to Dope to Disturbed and beyond.

I think I've heard Killing In The Name Of at least a dozen times since I arrived on campus. Don't know why it made a comeback, don't care. It's better than listening to the music from the ghetto born students and white chicks.

"popular enough to shoot new albums"

READ: They started running out of money so they had to re-unite or whatever & churn out another one

And to be perfectly honest, I don't consider Disturbed were ever actually relevant in rock music. Or, hell, maybe they were - in the sense of "this is how you DON'T want your vocalist to sound"

Then again, I'm just sitting here listening to my folk-black metal & melodic death metal bands that no one seems to give a **** about. Speaking of which, RIP Arch Enemy, that stupid klutzy cunt killed the band off completely for me.

You clearly know nothing about metal or music in general, to the point that nobody can even debate you. Nothing you say is even close to a coherent argument, you're just spewing a bunch of opinionated positive claims without anything to back them up.

I've outgrown Disturbed- but I still see people everywhere listing them as hard metal.

I loved his vocals. He did something somewhat different and by god it stuck, for awhile. Far more preferable to a high pitched voice I see in a lot of older rock.

As far as running out of money goes, most of those bands made a huge killing. That's not to say that a good half of them didn't waste it all on drugs or break up just as the getting was good, but Disturbed's been alive for 20 years now, give or take. I think at least one of them is a father now and all have other means of income. There are plenty of fans still today. Their new album came from fan demand when they got a new if small revival.

And not to mention new rock bands with similar sounds to replace the aging garage bands. Skillet, relatively ****** as it was, came out pretty recently.

I've never been a huge black or death metal fan. I appreciate the symphonies created and the amount of skill it takes, but it's just never rested right on my ear.

I think the only bands I liked were bands nobody ever really cared about, like Rose Funeral or Lamb of God.

Finally, take my opinion with a grain of salt, as you should anyway. I like older music. I absolutely love the noise that came out of detroit in the 1980s and 1990s- be it punk, metal or rock, somehow that's where most of my favorite bands started out. I just love the sounds of anger, betrayal and living life in the new septic tank of america.

The death of detroit sparked a whole new wave of music, and it did transform the face of metal, at least in America.

In scandanavia, they've got a whole new game going. But back to my original point. Metal changed. It never died. Old metal, like slayer, might be for the most part gone, but so are the days of the Beetles' version of rock.

There are still new bands coming up with new songs, and that's what determines death or life for music.

I don't think you can call "groove metal" an evolution... let alone the subsequent nu-metal.

Yeah, Pantera kept the flag raised high in the 90s... but thrash & death metal were starting to take some really deep plunges
