We're on a unity ticket there! They are as offensively inoffensive as it gets.

Also all nu-metal blows hard. I reckon that genre was the final nail in the coffin for rock as the dominant cultural influencer and paved the way for hip hop to take over.

I’ve been listening to early-mid 90’s hip hop. They were just having way more fun than the nu metal bland garbage. Slim Shady songs are crammed full of 90’s cultural references, and I find just as much fun today. The garbage music promoters put out late 90’s was shameful by and large. But I didn’t mind garbage, maybe Butch Vig’s influence? I went through the Hottest 100 lists and the 90’s is my sweet spot, irrespective of genre. There was some great stuff to be had, and layers of shit on top to ignore.

We are way off thread here, however I always loved Ice Ts Original Gangster album bought in back in 91 (what a year).

Midnight especially love that tale.

Saw them at BDO. I love a small unit that is genuinely having fun on stage. Still a huge favourite. The kids have discovered them haven?t they now?

It was a combination of the Nu-Metal crowd and also the "Bowling Shirt" bands (I'm looking at you, Smash Mouth). It was like the creative well with rock was squeezed dry post the early 90'S alt-grunge boom.

I don't want to sound all curmudgeonly and how "everything was better back in my day" but I kind-of am, which probably still makes me a wanker

Then count me a wanker too!

It was clearly better in our day. So much so all I’m hearing is seemingly covers from then or earlier now when I hear the kids music at the supermarket.

I'm not sure really, but I've always found that line quite poignant and applicable to a variety of situations. Like when a former music snob realises that the energy he put into hating something outside his tastes is wasted energy and in fact if the target of his hate has actually made other people happy and not hurt anyone then what does he care.

Not that I'm singling anyone out.

To quote another late 90's band that's still going strong today "become your Dad, live unquestioned. It's in your head, nostalgia's dead".

GVGjr can pull us up, but speaking for myself I have enjoyed this detour far more than exploring the minutiae of how we lost for the 17th time in 19 games against the Pork-Barrellers.

GVGjr isn’t because he’s loving it. I think he’s a 90’s Marilyn Manson ‘Beautiful People’ fan but just needs to chance to say it.

**** Geelong.

I always saw him more as an Evanescence My Immortal kind of guy.

Drawn out, overly dramatic.

I can see that too. Just as long as Mambo #5 isn’t his thing. I’m not sure I could recover.

Or possibly delving into mid 00's EMO territory with the likes of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco. Speaking of the latter, what an appalling and haphazard use of exclamation points - Lippman from Pendant Publishing would get rid of that exclamation point in a heartbeat! And this one!

Most bands haven't hurt anyone (maybe 30 second to Mars with the weird cult thing)

Gary has lost control of the board! There is Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and then there is silence. Every rock, punk and metal riff ever written was written right there.
