It's probably for the same reasons that people prefer Kill 'em All era Metallica over Ride The Lightning and Master of Puppets. They were trashier, noisier, shoutier, and less elaborate. That and the fact that We Care A Lot and Introduce Yourself are rare treats the Mike Patton constantly screws up with his…

Ironic?

The problem is that you have a 2 year gap between 1989 and 1991, and then between 1991 - 1994 you have some incredibly good years for Guns 'n Roses, Aerosmith, one of Ozzy Osbourne's biggest albums, Metallica's biggest album, Megadeth's biggest album and Van Halen's F.U.C.K was hugely popular. Even Bon Jovi had a huge…

Eddie Hazel's solo on Maggot Brain is the only untouchable guitar solo.

So, which hair metal bands were dominating the charts when "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came around, and then went away because of "Smells like Teen Spirit"?

Foetus 'Gash' was released on Sony in 1995 as well.

The documentary didn't interview Buzz Osborne (a friend and contemporary that went to highschool with Cobain) or Dave Grohl. Do you really think fact checking went beyond getting Kourtney's approval? At least beyond your arm chair expertise in psychology and heroine addiction?

A documentary eschewed fact-checking and took some artistic freedom to make their subject more exciting, and possibly gave huge veto power to the person proving all the source material? Never heard of that happening before either.

Hmm.. Documentary about Kurt Cobain where one his best friends and one his bandmates were not interviewed. How much does that say about fact checking?

Is Dave Grohl the new cat video of the Internet?

I'm betting that if you really looked at those numbers you'd find that they're really just doing a terrible job at playing and promoting female artists. So instead of fessing up about the fact that he doesn't know how to solve the problem of promoting female artists, he's simply decided that female artists are the…

Quite the opposite. Lars has never been as good as the average hard-core drummer, he was almost fired at the Master of Puppets tour, and he is notably responsible for Metallica's worst moments including Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger. On the other hand he is a brilliant advocate for the band, and is probably the reason…

Menza was on the top of my head along with Hoglan. Ken Owen would be another. You could really go on and on and on.

Lars usually gets great drummer credit simply because he's a high profile member of a high profile band. In terms of 80s thrash metal alone there is a wide range of drummers that are far more interesting to listen to, and give their bands a lot more flexibility.

It'd say it's much more modern rock /hard rock, mainly because of that that bulgy in your face mid-range. Which seems to be the case for everything band related that Mike Patton has been putting out lately. It just feels like there's never any room for any kind of nuance. This is definitely not the Faith No More that…

I think you're going to have to redefine "radio hit" if you think Faith No More didn't have any.

It's just hard not to feel like Tidal's solution to 'the problem' is to charge us more money and then guilt us into wanting to pay it. If Jay-Z had setup Tidal as a not-for-profit and talked about giving more of the bottom line to the artist I may have listened. If some of the people in that press conference were long…

I may have to side with M.I.A. on this one. She went out and worked with the actual guy and gave him the opportunity to represent himself. It's not like she simply spent a couple hours watching youtube learning how to copy his moves.

I have to agree. There's been way too many great reunion albums lately.

This much better than an overwhelming trickle of 'special vault' releases that eventually exhaust your funds and your patience. Of course, you know they'll wait for the fans to make their own compilations and eventually make a hybrid of those into a series of special vinyl releases.
