PrintableNo offence, but rock has been rehashed over and over again!
Does rock exist anymore? Rock hasn't sounded new since "Grunge" first hit, as for that Limp biscuit stuff (rap-metal or whatever?), that's now defunct so I can see a problem for rock fans here.... To me, music is about making u wanna dance, or have fun listening to it! The melody or rythem is way more important than the lyrics to rock (that goes for pop too)! As for hip-hop, it's really stale at the moment but who cares, when you can go back to hear older stuff! I think thats whats happening in general with music, people, more and more now are finding older music thanx to the internets resources! It's possible to almost find anything u like on the internet! Go back to find what your looking 4, theirs more and more music out there then ever! (obviously) | |

Only then could I say that I felt like a boundary has been broken again by music and crossed over into something that has never been done before. (Not that I'd like to see that sort of thing )That would be funny though. Because right now, it everyone seems to be rehashing what's been done before.
You've never heard of G.G Allin? 
this cat use to eat a package of Ex-lax before a show and then take a shit on the stage, he'd also mutilate himself on stage. I know he did a show here and after he took a shit, he started flinging it at the audience. He talked about commiting suicide on stage, but he overdosed before he could pull off his final perfomance. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DISGUSTING!!!  DAMN, people fucking scare me!!!    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

i used to think that if there was a God, that Steve Earle would be the next king of rock...
after years of holding to this idea, i still believe in God, but 've realized that he/she is not an interventionist... Steve Earle is the best embodiment that we have of rock music today...

i'm listening to him right now... "over yonder (jonathan's song)"... it's a song he wrote after watching someone get put to death in the electric chair... steve does a lot of work in the prisons with people on death row... and he got very close to jonathan, and jonathan requested that steve be there in the room when he was put to death... steve earle and his mom were the only two people that were there with him (except for all of the ususal prison employees who have to be there)... and they've got him strapped him, and time is winding down... and they're waiting to see if the phone will ring at the last minute with the governor stopping the execution... and the room is deathly quiet, and jonathan can see how scared his mom is... so he starts singing "silent night", because that was always his mom's favorite song for him to sing when he was a little boy, and it always calmed her when she was nervous... so, he starts singing it, and when he gets to the line "all is calm, all is-" zap... they pull the switch on him... and all of the lights in the place flicker for a second, and his head jerks forward so violently that his prison issued glasses fly off his face and hit steve earle in the chest... and he wrote that song for jonathan after this event...

Damn. That's pretty intense. What did Jonathan do to be executed btw? "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Damn. That's pretty intense. What did Jonathan do to be executed btw? ok, i just redid my research... it was actually lethan injection that they used to kill him... With 2 IVs hooked up to each arm and 3 drugs -- two to collapse the lungs, the other to stop the heart -- at the ready, Nobles read a passage from Corinthians. Then he started singing "Silent Night."
"And he got as far as the line "mother and child,' and at that point, all of the air blew out of his lungs at once. And I mean, it was really loud. It was like: "HUUUH!' "His head pitched forward so violently that his glasses -- big, heavy, plastic, prison-issued glasses -- bounced off of his head, onto my chest and onto the floor. It was like somebody had dropped an invisible cinder block on his chest. And then he didn't move again." "At very best, it's terrifying. It's torture. It was for me. I don't think I'll ever recover from it. I have absolute waking nightmares about it," said Earle by phone from his Nashville home recently. "I can't imagine any way anyone could heal from that process. There's a lie being told to victims' family members that watching, participating in the trial of and witnessing the execution of people that have harmed people that they love is gonna somehow give them closure. "That's something that the federal government should be liable for. That should be actionable, in my opinion." Jonathan killed two people in a failed robbery attempt in 1986...

Thanks for the links. I downloaded both of them. It's funny, because he sounds exactly how I had imagined he would, although it is only one song of his. He sounds like someone I'd like to see while at a dive bar drinking beer. That's a good thing though.
