    (Pixies supporting THEM is just a plain insult to taste and intelligence tho....anyone back me up on this?)

    Whats worse is Pixies supporting Stereophonics in Manchester.

    What is so wrong with Feeder??They don't get much radio play.It's more your Busted's and stuff that gets air play.Now thats sad.

    Feeder are DULL. They're also not particularly popular.

    It's really a matter of opinion and i dont regard yours that highly.

    FEEDER
    > LEGENDS


    DURAN DURAN ---> Anyone who listen's to this must feel OLD.When they read the year that their tracks are realesed.All that Electronic crap

    :rolleyes:

    No d4, here's how it works...

    Led Zepplin - Legends
    Rolling Stones - Legends
    AC/DC - Legends
    Bob Dylan - Legend
    David Bowie - Legend

    And so on and so on...

    Feeder - Insignificant crap, one rung above Busted on the ladder of sh*te music.

    Good music is timeless laddie, you'd do well to take that on board. Legendary status is earned by bands who prove themselves over time, producing consistently good music. Not by bands who "drink cider from a lemon"...

    I think it's more a case that good music is subjective - I'm not a particularly big fan of several of the bands you mentioned but if you want to think of them as legends then that's fair enough.

    D4 is allowed to think of Feeder as being legends (it doesn't make it so), it just means people will point and laugh;) .

    B*witched are legends! :D

    For several rather obvious reasons

    1) they fight like their Da

    2) their house has both windows and doors

    3) they can be feckless and blame things on the weatherman

    4) they pissed off

    I'll have you know im only 19 laddie :cool:

    Calling it crap is just not right. Its called musical evolution. Without it, music would be devoid of soul, heart, diversity; in short BORING!!!

    Just respect it for what it is (you dont have to like it).

    And every1 else leave d4 alone. If he wants to like feeder and call them legends he can.

    Just like you have the right to call Zepplin et al legands.

    And just like I call Jaco Pastorius, Flea, and whoever I want, legends.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 133 ✭✭d4


    I suppose calling them legends is going a bit far but i still thought they rocked slane and Just a day is a class song.
    They have been around since the late 90's to now which is good going considering the music buissness these days.

    I'd just like to know how old/age category you fall in to therecklessone??You would not be taken seriously calling BOB Dylan A legend by most young people today.:)

    But he is. And I can state that in a completely objective manner, since I'm not a fan of his. I appreciate his impact on the music world, and unlike you I don't believe that popular opinion (that most consistent of opinions...;)) should have a bearing on that fact. How many of your peers would agree with me that James Brown or Roy Orbison (who, I hear you ask?) are legends?

    And my age has nothing to do with this. Nor does yours, unless you insist on making an issue of it.

    So far your "evidence" to support your Feeder=legendary claim is:

    1. They were great at Slane

    and

    2. Just A Day is a class song.

    Hardly compelling stuff laddie. For a start I thought they were sh*te at Slane, limp and extremely uninteresting (QOTSA barely broke a sweat and they were infinitely more entertaining), and one song does not a legend make.

    The balls in your court laddie.

    i think feeder are ok i just a day and buck rogers is great too, didnt like that mellow album at all, but considering what happened i can see why they weren't into doing happy music...

    anyway that was such a funny way of describing them, i laughed so much do can i have your permission to regurgetate that to feeder fans!?. well done sir!

    James Brown = LEGEND!!!
    Godfather of funk. Without him, there wud be no chili peppers. Just the thought makes me sad.:(

    NONONONO!!!! Stick by your belief!

    If you think they are legends, go ahead and think it! It's YOUR opinion and YOUR right. Just like every1 has the right to disagree with you. :p

    Dont doubt your taste just cos some else thinks they are insignificant crap (which they are not. I'd rather lil 12 year olds listening to feeder rather than westlife.)

    Well Pal how can you justify that they aint a great rock band.It's just your Opinion that they sucked at slane.(Were i was(in the pit) evryone was going bonkers when just a day come on).Your just like some of my Friends(Go on with the same kind of bull sh** that "Oh U2 are great and Bono is Legend" Bono is an arogant gimp who tries to sell an extra few cd's by saying"Oh im trying to stop the wars ere, there and everywhere"and when he does these fundraising things he gets other people to donate money, with him at the forefront giving very f*cking little.).Got a bit carried away there but what i'm trying to say is that they don't give any of the new bands a chance, which is bullSh**

    I suppsoe most of the bands you mentioned don't get into that knid of thing.They stick to what they are Supposed to be "Good" at.Unlike that other Irish twat.:mad:

    Have to say that QOTSA greatly dissappointed me at Slane this year. RHCP were good, though not in my top 5 acts ever or anything.
    The Foos were great, pity they werent headlining. Morcheeba and Feeder were surprisingly good and I'm a big Morcheeba fan already. Just my 2 cents.

    DeV.

    ps: why do we have to argue until everyone agrees on some consensus... I'm perfectly willing to accept that you liked QOTSA and thought RHCP sucked!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 133 ✭✭d4


    The Foo's are great, pity they aint playing in the park.:)

    Did you see the Foos when they played in the point in 2002?
    I can honestly say it was the best concert ive ever been to.
    In the pit, right at the front (barrier!) with Dave Grohl lookin down at me. :D

    Personnally, I thought the chilis put on a great show (and too right! Its the biggest concert they've ever headlined!) but I dont think Foos shud've headlined.

    Maybe next year? That wud be cool. :D

    muppets_together.jpg

    So I suppose my question is d4, which one are you? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,352 ✭✭✭funky penguin


    Oh be nice!


    Incidently, i always fancied myself as a Rizzo, but I see he isnt there....sniff:(

    We don't DeV. I've absolutely no problem with personal tatse. I liked QOTSA at Slane, you didn't. Sh*t happens. Taste is taste, nothing is gonna change that.

    I'm just trying to highlight to my good friend laddie here that you can't really make broad sweeping statements like:

    1. The RHCP are one of the best bands of the last 20 years

    and

    2. Feeder are legends

    when you have shown such limited musical experience (never having heard the Pixies for start), and then write off an entire decade as "electronic crap".

    The equivalent would be to declare Adam Sandler the best actor of the last 20 years, and when challenged say that the 80s was a crap decade for movies and who is this Robert De Niro/Marlon Brando/Al Pacino anyway?

    But enough of this. I've had my fun, I'll lay off the sensitive wee soul for a while.
