P.O.D rules!!!

[Sarr Koon]

Just got back from seeing P.O.D. at the Roseland in downtown Portland, Oregon. It's the fourth time I've seen them live in the past 2 years and they are still awesome!!! I never get tired of seeing them. They can really roust a crowd. Anyhow, just thot I'd share.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

They have entertaining music, and I like to listen to them every now and then.

But all their songs sound the same to me. <--- not a good thing.

[Morgan Evanar]

I completely disagree that they are good.

[Figrin D'an]

I saw Rush last Monday night. 30th Anniversary tour. It kicked my booty into this week.

They've got a cover album coming out near the end of the month. They played a few of the songs on that album last Monday, and it sounded great. Not to mention that they pulled out some older stuff that I never expected to hear them play in concert.

I was quite pleased. :)

POD is up there with bands I absolutely hate, preceded only by Creed and Evanescence.

But it's all a matter of opinion, right?

[Charley]

POD is marginally decent at best.

[Morgan Evanar]

Neil Peart drums my socks. I wish he did, anyway.

[imported_Marcus]

P.O.D. just dont do it for me. Last band I saw live (Spiderbait) rocked something fierce.

[Charley]

The only band I get to listen to on a regular basis nowadays are Mindtrip. They're weeks away from having their first album produced and being signed in a record/touring deal.

[Jame Kaman Dar]

Last show I went to was Hawksley Workman and the Wolves. Sweet, very sweet. But the opening act was some suck that only sang sappy love songs.

Before that, it was Great Big Sea... that was um.m.. 02? Loud, very loud...very rowdy...very wicked Anyways, they're coming back for the Open Air series at Centennial Square and i'm SOOO going. :smokin :crack

Because Linkin Park decidedly and unequivocally rocks. Hard. Best rock band in the known universe. And quite a good bit of the unknown universe, as well.

I would sell organs to go to an LP concert. Sorry to all dissidents, I respect your respective opinions. LP rules!!

[Morgan Evanar]

I saw Linkin Park in concert and they were disapointing. I don't like their lyrics, but the band wasn't musically tight. I'm not crazy about, say, Godsmack, but I cannot knock them talent wise as a band. They put on a wicked show, and are a solid group of musicians.

Linkin Park may be many things, but among those things a "Rock Band" they are not.

They put on one hell of a mean concert. Not everybody's cup of tea though, that's true.

[Sejah Haversh]

Really? I'm sorry to hear they weren't that great a stage presence. I've never seen them live, only just love their music. And, of course, you're right--LP is, by some standards still a younger band, and they certainly aren't necessarily the most talented rock group around. But they are different and something about the way they blend and mesh rock, hip-hop, and DJ beats is just...unmatched.

Really, I'd be happy to see quite a few bands in person, not just LP.

Linkin Park had one truly decent song - In The End. And that was only because someone put a summary of the action of 2001 WRC as a film clip to it.

One of those things where audio and visual work so well together. It's 18mb, called WRC2001.wmv on the P2P networks.

Okay, so I like the song cause it reminds me of the rally action. Okay... the song actually sucks.

Bah. Gimme my Cyprus WRC action!

*ahem* Sorry, Sejah. You poor thing, you must have had a rough childhood, to be so misguided. *pets the mongoose*

I know, I know, they're not Metallica *thank the dear heavens above*. But they aren't just another Aerosmith or Nickelback carbon-copy. They are distinct and something about their sound really fascinates me. But then, I like European dance-pop, too, so maybe my judgment's a bit skewed. :)

Linkin Park is nothing original. There, I said it again.

I grew up in the Seattle area, and I was around when the whole grunge/industrial scene was coming out of here. I ahve heard many, many bands that are older than LP and better.

Chester annoys me, and his voice and glasses are atrocious. Not to mention that all of their videos are only staristeps to me changing the channel.

No, I was not deprived or misguided; I have just witnessed better. And how dare you compare them to Aerosmith. Nickelback I don't care about because they suck, but Aerosmith rocks. And have rocked for a loooong time,

[imported_Marcus]

NICKLEBACK!?!?!?!

They are so unoriginal and the suck... they fail at copying their own songs! Aerosmith were rocking audiences BEFORE Linkin Park band members were born.

Metallica.... well, there's two Metallicas. Before The Black albumn and after the Black Albumn. Before Metallica, thou shalt be smited if you diss them, ... And Justice For All is awesome. After The Black... yeah, they suck.

Sejah has it right... Linkin Park are just synth with guitars and a DJ. There's nothing really original or special they do at all.... hell, DISCO in the 70's were doing the same thing. ELO ring a bell? Okay, ELO didnt go into teen angst..... and ELO had some talent..... and ELO actually was pretty good......

[Rhea Kaylen]

Actually, I am contemplating getting an Incubus album. I like 'em, but I've not heard much of their music. Will certainly keep your recommendations in mind.

*hangs head* I can't totally disagree with the 'high-school angst machines' thing, but the Hot Topic comment? Totally out of line.

You're thinking of Good Charlotte. :D

Otherwise, I think you've all been listening to Steven Tyler for too long (proven by scientists the world over to cause cancer, tuberculosis, and chronic brain vaporization). In the End is awesome, Marcus. Yes, LP is angry, but it's their sound I like best, not the lyrics.

[Sejah Haversh]

Let's see LP cause some emotion like "Dream On" or some honest fun of "Walk This Way".

Nah, LP has only one emotion: Angst. And that gets old reeeaaaaallly fast.

I'd rather listen to Steve Tyler screaming out Dude like a Lady than a talentless bunch of processed cookie cutter product of a major recording studio.

NO ONE MAY DISS ELO!!!! They are totally sweet. Yeah, yeah, seventies disco, I know...told you, didn't I, that I'm addicted to Eurostyle pop? Daft Punk, for instance. Now there's some music.

Is Nickelback (Nickleback? sp) really that bad? I really don't know, have heard Someday but not much else. I thought they were kind of good, but I'll take your word on it.

Aerosmith's relative age is exactly the reason they should be outlawed...Steven Tyler is going to fall apart at the seams at any moment, now. And he is a wretched singer. Metallica have no singing talent, either, and their guitars are too metal for my tastes (metal is a hairy wart, for the most part, on the face of music history, IMHO).

[Sejah Haversh]

You. Out of the thread now.

You have removed the definintion of the soul of rock from your dictionary and therefore Linkin PArk cannot rock. Thank you for playing, do try again.

And, Steven Tyler sings faaaar better than Chester could ever hope to screech and growl.

I'd disagree there. James Hettfield has a much better voice than any number of laughable excuses for lead singers around nowdays. Metal had it's instances of good. Much of it was pretty awful, but it did have it's notables, just as many other forms of music.

Wal-Mart, good buddy. Brand name clothes, and the stores that pawn them, are products of Satan himself. May Abercrombie and *Barf* spontaneously combust in the very near future.

And I hate Britney Spears and all her mini-spawn. Just because I don't like metal (and I did say for the most part, after all :) ) doesn't mean I'm a total pleib.

Bon Jovi was cool, and so was Axl Rose *read: good-looking*. And some of the guitar solos were sweet, too.

All Lars bastardry aside, Metallica is a bastion of good talent. I'd go so far as to pick & choose a few redeeming tracks from Load & Reload to add to the "Pre Black Album" salvation.

Speaking in terms of Metal itself, even the nasty dregs of metal (80's hair metal) is in itself great, as it doesn't take itself seriously at all. Besides, what would you put on a Rocky soundtrack, if not for hair ballads and metal montages? >D

[Figrin D'an]

Bon Jovi and Guns 'n Roses weren't metal, by any means. They were '80's hair band rock, GnR on the heavier side, Bon Jovi skewing more to the middle or lighter side.

Oh, don't get me started on Mick Jagger. When the man starts appearing on stage with a walker, I will in no way be surprised. And you're right, a very small corner of metal was in some ways decent, as in fact an even more minute corner of hip-hop is in some ways decent today. But, yes, most of metal was decidedly awful.

There are tracks on the their post Black album list that are good, I agree. It's just a different Metallica than the '80's "Kill 'em all" attitude. James, Lars, and Kurt are all quite talented. Cliff Burton was great, and Jason Newstead was solid as well. I wasn't impressed with St. Anger at all, but their is plenty of great stuff they've done over the years.

The original Rocky is a classic. Stallone may be a bad actor at best, but that role fit him to a tee, and it was a great story.

I can't even bring myself to watch Rocky. I really, honestly don't think that I could tolerate Stallone for that long.

The role may have been right for him (actually, an testosterone-driven, braindead guy with way more brawn than brains fits Stallone pretty darn good, I'd say) but I wouldn't be able to sit and take a whole movie of him. I'd kick in my TV set long before it was over.

Nothing wrong with Anime, huh? Well, um, other than, oh, crap, forget it. I'll die before I get to the end of that speil.

Ending words, Rock = Good. Linkin Park != Rock.

Real rockers drink Coke, for it has zing, not sappy sweetness.

J-Rock doesn't count. I can easily defeat you with Three Michelle Gun Elephant.

Rats, thought maybe you weren't up on the "Marisu Mizer" thing. Oh, and dis GW again, and I'll pull out my Uzi.

Actually, I used to be a die-hard Coke-only purist, but something happened along the way. I'll drink both, but here on the forums I only pass out Pepsi. Remind me to get you a whole vat of it for your birthday.

What, dare I even ask, is Three Michelle Gun Elephant? I've got a feeling I don't want to know...

Hey, Sarr. Thanks. ;)

[Sarr Koon]

I'm more then happy to be of service. :D

[Sejah Haversh]

TMGE is a J-Rock band of awful proportions. Though I suppose I could pull Yatta out of my hat, too.

And GUNDAM WING IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS EVER IN HISTORY OF ALL TIME! I fear not your Uzi, for I'll bust out a Browning 50 cal. Bring it on, rocking it old school.

Not one redeeming feature is to be found in that mess of colorful, bloated yet shallow tripe designed by people who have no knowledge of the lays of physics.

GW = crap.

I will grant you, artistically GW is sub-par, even to its sequel. It's its sappy pacifistic, death-centric, ultra-introverted, preachy execution that really gags me. But I loved the characters, and Endless Waltz is much better. Still nowhere near Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust or even Rurouni Kenshin, but better.

You don't like anime at all?

[Sejah Haversh]

With the exception of Cowboy Bebop and a few other select shows, no, Anime is the ultimate form of animation butchery, though some US studios are rapidly trying to challenge the Empire of the Rising Sun to see who can make the more appalling abomination.

Unless you're talking old school, in which case Speed Racer and Voltron still rock.

[Rhea Kaylen]

Urk, how can you like the dated stuff (Speed Racer being the definition of dated)? GW is "colorful, bloated yet shallow tripe" and Speed Racer rocks? No offense, really, because I like some pretty bizarre things, but seventies anime is the worst.

Then again, this is coming from the girl who used to be addicted to Ronin Warriors. My opinion can't really count after that. :D

Why Cowboy Bebop?

[Rhea Kaylen]

EDIT: Agreed. Shows like Pokemon and its endlessly oozing rabble of spin-offs and look-alikes give an horrendous name to anime itself. Anyone who'd only seen those things would naturally hate anime. So would I.

[Sejah Haversh]

No, no it really can't.

Speed Racer is great because of its simplicity, and it was one of the coolest thigns coming out of Japan at the time. Voltron is the mech done right, with classic story elements and fun characters.

Cowboy Bebop doesn't seem like a cartoon to me, but more like a real show that happens to be animated.

It was character driven, and you know somebody like each of the characters on the show. They were well-written and believeable--with the possible exception of Ed, but I know s'Il's little sister, so yesh, she does exist in teh flesh-- and you wanted to follow their adventures.

The dialogue was great, pacing and language choice wise, the english dub was superb, and the music is simply wonderful. The whole series was very artfully understated and designed, and the directing was top notch. Angles, shot lengths and pan speeds were dead-on to how a real life film should be shot, and the variety of problems and opponents in the episodes really allowed the characters to grow.

It could also express real emotion, and wasn't afraid to do so. So, when ti came to an end, you really didn't want it to end because the people all seemed so real. Plus the comedy in it was a riot, and the fight scenes were nothing short of brilliant. The best Anime series ever, without exception.

Now if only the crew hadn't gotten totally drunk and high and made that Wolf's Rain piece of crap that has no redeeming features.



Most cartoons that make it onto American airways are marketing ploys done on a massive scale. They are half-hour ads that are entertaining and make kids want a product. So, that's where shows like G.I.Joe, He-Man, and Pokemon come from. Though the first two on that list totally rocked, and the third was passable because of that Brock character who was a total lecher.

[imported_Marcus]

At least The Darkness has a vague inkling of the thing Linkin Park lack....

Talent.

Oh, and a sense of humour, because it's clear Teh Darkness know just how silly they are.

Now as for the Pepsi verses Coke argument.

Real men drink Coke. Black Death. Rot Gut. The finest driveway degreaser known to man. Hits the spot, burns right through and leaves a horrible scar. When you need a wakeup, Coke gives it, much like a camel kicking you in the nuts gives a wake up. On a fine cold morning, when your bleary and befudled, Coke turns you from subhuman, to more than humna.

The fact is, Pepsi is a over sugared lolly water. When I want Balck Death... I MEAN COKE AND I WANT IT STRAIGHT!

[Rhea Kaylen]

Sejah, that's one of the best reviews, for anything, that I've ever read *applause*.

I was wanting to see Cowboy Bebop before; now I know I have to.

Thanks. I, uh, hope I didn't make you mad or anything, with anything I said. Really didn't mean to. You're just misguided, is all. I'm sure with a little brainwashing and indoctrination, we could fix your pro-Aerosmith and metal, anti-Linkin Park and anime problem, and you'd be almost normal. :)

[Sejah Haversh]

Oh, you didn't make me mad at all, I just enjoyed taunting you.

However, in twenty years, if you look back at Areosmith and Linkin Park, I can guarentee that Aerosmith will still eb looked upon as the superior band. They have music that lasts, not mass-produced pop chart hits.

I mean, Aerosmith is up there with The Beatles and Led Zepplin in my book. It's okay, we know that the MTV lied to you and told you LP is popular and cool. Heck, they told us that the Spice Girls were cool, but we got over it.

If, by talent, you are referring to castrado wailing, hip-jerking, squid-fighting, or bad, bad teeth, then, yes, the Darkness definitely have it. Otherwise, Linkin Park could rock that little spandex-clad sissy into the ground.

Okay, here's the first problem. If Coke is what real men drink, then I regret having drank some earlier this evening, because for all I know I may wake up tomorrow with not only a hole in my gut but, worse, with chest hair.

Second, sure, Pepsi's sweeter, but Coke tastes medicinal. And I don't particularly think a soft drink is supposed to elicit a feeling similar to a camel kicking one in one's nuts. At least, since I have had no personal experience of such an event, I don't think so.

I don't want Black Death. I want the right one, baby.

[Sejah Haversh]

Yep, that's the talent he's talking about. The ability to be a real frontman to a band, not cram a microphone into your face and hunch over on stage.

The Darkness are a throwback to the grand days of stadium rock, and they do a great job at it. Not to mention that they are wholly entertaining to watch.

And if we want to talk sissies, dump a bucket of water on Chester. You'll find you that he's really Moby with glasses.

Hey, when the man's right, he's right. Even I know that, for whatever reason, Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, and the Stones will be remebered and idolized loooong after LP have gone the way of the dodo.

But mention anything else about He-man rocking, and I'll sic the Spice Girls on you.

Brock was great, wasn't he?

Take off Moby's fur coat and you'll find he's actually Gwen Stefani shaved bald.

You're right. The Darkness are, if nothing else, entertaining. To watch, not to listen to.

And, yes, if the Darkness are trying to be a throwback, they really do that well. I was kind of stunned to see and hear them and think how scarily they resembled 80's metal rockers, just like it was really frightening to see and hear Jet and Rooney sounding as though they'd time-warped from the 70's. But, in their own right, the Darkness are just really not that good.

Well, their singer isn't, anyway. Their guitarist is pretty decent, though.

I know this question is inane, but did you ever sit through Dragonball or Dragonball Z long enough to get a load of Master Roshi? You would have liked him, too. :D

[Sejah Haversh]

See! Irrefutable proof that Chester is actually Gwen Stefani!

Oh goodness, what a horrible mental image.

The singer is good, you just have to like him. And other songs on the album show off his talent more. I guess it comes down to personal preference, though.

Though Roshi is entertaining, evything else on the show, especially the animation style, is so absoltely awful that it doesn't make up for it.

[imported_Marcus]

I want the right one, baby.

Evidence that Rhea has been brainwashed by MTV. As if we needed more after the Linkin Park fan-grrl meep meep.

I thought there was something kinky about the Buddy Holley look...

To be honest, you're probably right, as I haven't heard but only two Darkness songs. But I didn't really care for either of them, so that's probably not a good sign.

The singer's hilarious, I won't even try to argue that he isn't. How could you not laugh at a guy who wears a tiara and prances around a spaceship in spandex? That's what I thought.

I will admit, with some degree of shame and penitence, that I was a mad fan-girl for this show. But those days are dead and over, thank heaven. Spending upwards of three half-hour episodes to power up for a single attack that proved ineffectual anyway pretty much soured me, thanks.

Also with head hung, DBZ fanart is how I got my start. I can't hate the show too much, as it really launched me into writing and drawing seriously, but it's taken me a long, painful time trying to work the animation style out of my system.

Trust me, brother, I can't even remember the last time I drew a DBZ-related bit of art. In fact, from some experiments a while back, I realized I can't even do it anymore. A good thing, I assure you.

Your powers of the Force is nothing... I say NOTHING comapred to the power of this fully armed and operational FORCE PUB FULL OF DRUNK AUSSIES!!!!

:: The old CD player begins to crank up an old Cold Chiesel tune and and in remarkable unison hundreds of drunk Aussies beging to sing Khe Sahn...

I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand

About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
How there were no V-dayheroes in 1973
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land

And she was like so many more from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one
And their legs were often open
But their minds were always closed
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypacket lean
And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been
But the car parks made me jumpy
And I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for speed and novacaine

So I worked across the country end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
Held a job on an oil-rig
Flying choppers when I could
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend

And I've travelled round the world from year to year
And each one found me aimless, one more year the more for wear
And I've been back to South East Asia
But the answer sure ain't there
But I'm drifting north, to check things out again

You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong
There ain't nothing like the kisses
From a jaded Chinese princess
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long

Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Yeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
And it's really got me worried
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone *

And with that, a huge maul develops, hundreds of sweaty beer soaked men pummelling with their feet, rucking and mauling the body of Rhea... finally the halfback sees the bloodied remains, picks it up and boots a field goal! The crowd roars!

ROAR!

The crowd roars again!

AGAIN!

Rhea attempts to escape and heal!

The crowd was disappointed!

OH S----------!

"Give us the ball back!!!"

The drunk Aussies charge, grab the poor roleplay, set her up and kick off again...

And to the sounds of grown men belting each other up (and the ball, which is in this case Rhea), vomiting, peeing on the goalposts and the ball, sinigning and other drunken Aussie behavoiur, the sun sets as the whole Aussie tribal system readies itself for....

YES :D and they rock live (just saw them last week, woohoo!!!)

[Rhea Kaylen]

Yeah, things got a little out of hand, I guess. Nya.

Okay, that's three recommendations for Incubus, and I loved Drive, so I'm gonna see if I can get my hands on this S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

Btw, out of curiosity, is Incubus' lead singer (I don't even know his name) as good-looking in person?

I can't even bring myself to watch Rocky. I really, honestly don't think that I could tolerate Stallone for that long.

The role may have been right for him (actually, an testosterone-driven, braindead guy with way more brawn than brains fits Stallone pretty darn good, I'd say) but I wouldn't be able to sit and take a whole movie of him. I'd kick in my TV set long before it was over.

It isn't just about boxing. I'm not a big boxing fan. If thats all you get out of Rocky, you miss the point. Rocky is an epic about rising above adversity at all costs. It is the ULTIMATE motivational movie. Scientists have been able to prove that human beings have been able to run faster, jump higher, lift harder, and think clearer; all by watching Rocky, or at least listening to the soundtrack. It just taps something raw and powerful in the human spirit.

Worst offender I've seen of the lot. Gundam Wing embodies everything I hate about japanese anime. Imaciated and effeminate teenage boys taking thousand ton mechas which somehow are also faster and more maneuverable than smaller & lighter fighters, and turning the entire thing into a crapstorming soap opera drama bomb.

OMG EARTH & SPACE NEED PEACE, I'LL BRING IT WITH WARRR, OR IS THAT PEAAAACE?

This is not dramatic effect. This is gay. Very very gay. I know that with Linkin Park as your cultural reference point, you can get your wires crossed, but I assure you that this is neither deep nor interesting.

Bloodlust is the only semi-decent anime you mentioned. Everything else blows. Believe me when I say that 9 out of every 10 animes out there are horrible. From what I've seen, I can maybe pull out a dozen good ones.

Cowboy Bebop & Outlaw Star run the gamut, as they're largely the same kind of Space Western, and that is :cool

Gunslinger Girl is fantastic, but mainly a nerd thing for me, since I appreciate any jappo cartoon that has such an anal-retentive attention for detail when it comes to firearms.

Ninja Scroll is old school goodness, as is Vampire Hunter D and its sequel.

As for the Dragonball sagas, they only suck if you take them seriously. Once you realize what they are, which is animated professional wrestling, they're actually pretty fun.
