Good read. But one question remains: How come they don't play Hardest Button to Button at sporting events? So much better than 7 Nation Army.

I was at the show in Philly, which was kind of a small venue. Right before the band hits the stage, I head to the bathroom. The whole band is standing there doing some kind of pep-talk. Dennis says, "Hold on guys, this guy has the use the bathroom. This is so ridiculous." They clear the path to let me through. A…

Rocket from the Crypt- RFTC.

Every emotionally unstable girl I ever went on a date on in college dragged me to a Modest Mouse show. And I would be bored out of my mind. I really surprised when I spent a few years travelling and came back to the States and saw there was really popular band also called Modest Mouse that was getting played on the…

I was at one of the first Kid Dynamite shows. I was also at the final Lifetime show. I watched 4 songs by Kid Dynamite, realized they weren't Lifetime and walked out. I stood outside for the rest of the night. I never got into them.

I'll tell ya, "100% completely un-fucking-listenable" is a term we often throw around too loosely nowadays.

Shit, even while making a joke Rusted Root still can't get a message.

You really need to reconsider your masturbation method.

Black Crowes were the only band ever to go directly to Classic Rock.

That song neither rocks nor is a classic.

There is no band that divides my household more than Alice in Chains. And no album more than Jar of Flies. My wife can tolerate the hits songs from Dirt. But my goodness she hates the songs from Jar of Flies.

I'm not that big of a Kiss fan. But I recognize that "Strutter," "Deuce" and "New York Groove" are absolutely great rock songs. Yet, the only Kiss song they will ever play is "Rock and Roll All Night". Meanwhile, every completely shit-tastic Aerosmith is fair game: "Ragdoll"," Love in an Elevator", "Janie's Got a…

And it's typically Train in Vain followed up by Wanted Dead or Alive. So it's like prosciutto smuggled back from Italy and the fart is from your older brother after he ate a blooming onion and he is cuffing it into your face.

A couple of my friends bought a fixer-upper in the summer of 2001. We had all grown up listening to emo in the mid-90's. We would listen to rock radio all day long while working on the house. And Staind would come on the radio, and we would all say, "What is up with this pussy shit?"

Same here.

Looking back on it, it was the best scene because the scene didn't exist. There was truly no ethos, fashion or expectations in the whole scene. You didn't need a certain job or anything. You could work in a gas station, or you could work in a bank. You could be a high priced accountant. Nobody cared. You could…

The classic rock station in town will play The Clash sandwiched between ELO and Bon Jovi.

I'm looking forward to the supercut of 1998 to 2004 of crappy hard rock bands singing their deep song and trying to sound like Eddie Vedder but just ended up sounding like they were taking a dump. I'm looking at you Puddle of Mudd and Staind.

Dude, Elastica were fantastic. That album didn't have a bad second on it.

I saw them open for REM sometime in the late 90's and they were amazing.
