Join host Pete Pardo for his latest rant, this time he rattles off a selection of bands/artists on his 'no sir, I don't like 'em' list! #thisbandsucks #neverneedtohearthemagain
The guy will do anything to be relevant and popular. He did a country album for God's sake! Plus he was a fixture in the band Scandal before his own band broke out. He's a total tool.
I see what you're saying. He headlined at Castle Donington 1987. Whenever the MC mentioned his name, the crowd booed. I left after Dio's set to get the shuttlebus back to Derby. There were loads of headbangers doing the same.
I was with you every step of the way, but then you hit REM. You gotta understand that their hits (which often were indeed sappy) all came after they moved to Warner Brothers for one of the biggest advances ever at that time. Their indie stuff on IRS remains some of the most gorgeous and unique music of the 1980's; enigmatic, elegiac, energetic, well-played and arranged, and unlike anyone active at the time (and the Byrds/Velvets comparisons were very overcooked). Any of their first four albums could make my top-10 lifetime favorites. Not for everyone, I suppose. Oh, and that Dylan guy sure is good (except for a few disasters). But the rest of your list could have easily been my own.
You must be a homely dude . Because all unattractive men just hate Bon Jovi . Nickel Bach is awful . The only thing worse than 1990 - 2005 Metallica is the bands that made careers out of trying to capture that 1990 - 2005 Metallica sound
I like to believe Pitbull has one actual fan who is a billionaire that pays for everything Pitbull does. Other than that, I don’t know how the fuck that guy has a career in the music business.
Dylan between 62 and 1978 was astounding . After that , embarrassing at best . I also used to hate the voice . I changed my mind . I now LOVE his singing on most of those albums . Give the King another chance !
Sometimes voices just grate on people and I get that. I really hate Elvis Costello's voice and actually Mick Jagger has never done it for me either but that's just our personal ear and I don't fault anyone who can stand them. I personally love a lot of Dylan's singing through the years and he seems to have rubbed off on Tom Petty significantly. cheers
@@ddzyne I like Jaggers vocals , but then the 1960's for me is a big deal . I like RADIO RADIO by Costello but he hasnt done anything good for decades . That Ive ever heard .
My intro to Dylan was the covers are great, Dylan's version - not as much. I changed my mind. I even prefer All Along the Watchtower by Dylan over Hendrix now. And when you put into context 1965 what Dylan had going on with Mike Bloomfield on lead guitar, he was pretty hard rocking by the standard of the time.
As a person who actually does like quite a lot of the artists here, this was honestly kind of a nice change of pace. It's nice to hear differing opinions y'know?
We all feel so much of a range of emotions. Like and dislikes. The bands are in fact as he says. He still is a positive man . He used this video as an outlet to relate with his fans . I for one totally agree with him and also think being positive is a healthy choice. He clearly said he doesn’t talk about this on his channel much and per multiple requests made this.
I agree with each and every one of these. I would add to that list Hootie and the Blowfish, the Indigo Girls, and Coldplay. The 90s, in general, had very little that I enjoyed as well, punk is musical anathema to me and pop punk is hell on earth. That was the first decade where I completely tuned out the contemporary and the mainstream and listened solely to prog, fusion, and older music.
I have always respected punk for its cultural impact and historical legacy. Musically, however, no other genre has tried so hard to convince everyone that you don't need to know how to play instruments to start a musical revolution.
Such a true statement. Axl Rose. The most over rated douche bag in history. If I hear Welcome to the Jungle. Sweet child o mine or Paradise City one more time I’m gonna become a bridge jumper
Axl( Asshole ) Rose was rude to the crowd and just like the SEPULTURA - Morbid Visions album the guitar players never bothered to tune their instruments together . People paid a lot of money to get treated like shit by a band that was too fucked up to play in tune or even in time . The best Guns n Roses shows were the cancelled ones
Same here, I don't like a single artist mentioned by Pete. Motley Crue at #1 have a few cool songs but at least someone like Blackie Lawless could be called a real musician which is why he's in W.A.S.P. and not Motley Crue, I guess. Alice Cooper once said there's a danger to Crue that he liked, he was probably speaking about their early days and bad boy image. Another band I don't get, is Radiohead and U2 lost me decades ago, haven't listened to them since 1985.
I never liked them. Over here in the UK they were huge a few years back. Everybody talking about how brilliant they were constantly. I was just thinking they suck so bad and the guy can’t sing. Not good live either from what I’ve heard.
I saw Nickelback at a festival years ago and the show was in a parking lot and 20 minutes into their set several people had to be transported to the hospital for splitting their heads on the pavement and the lead singer told us we were all idiots - like 4 or 5 people represented the intelligence of the entire crowd...I was blown away by the music (they were new then, not tired and old) but I never liked them after he insulted us.
@@metalstorm7506 King Diamond stole the idea of wearing makeup from KISS. And they were not amused about it. I remember them suing him, so he had to change it at least.
I couldn't agree more with your entire list and for all the reasons you cited. You literally listed a who's who of popular bands that us younger X geners, now in our early to mid 40s, were inundated with on MTV from the time we were in the 6th grade up through college. I got into most of the bands you listed for like a minute when I was younger, when adolescent group conformity, peer pressure, and a recording industry hell-bent on marketing this stuff to our generation specifically, sort of brainwashed me into acting like I liked music I really didn't that much at all, but then eventually I went, "okay where did I place my Rush and Zeppelin albums?" And then I was reformed.
You can add Neil Young (great songwriter, sings like a door hinge) and The Boss - his music - unlistenable, I don't get , I just don't get it, rant over.
Damn bro....You nailed this. I agree 100% with you here. I would add that many of those shit buttrock bands are the reason why the 90's went to hell for metal. The fact that bands like poisen, winger, warrant, bullet boys, motley crew.......on and on, were classified as metal, soiled the genre. Also, I am so sick of bands like Pearl jam, GnR and Nirvana that literally have so little material, and then they are considered gods etc. Compared to so many of the bands that you speak of that have profound legacy, and extremely deep discogrophies to get no respect to these one hit wonders is a crime. I think of Opeth for example. The amount of great/complex music they have produced is amazing, and those other bands could not even attempt to achieve anything like that. Thanks for what you do.
Great video! I love many of those, but hey its your opinion man and I totally get your points- and honestly, that was the one best Bob Dylan- Impression I ever heard (and I love this man as an artist!), so damn funny 😂👍
The first two albums are great and I’ve noticed a lot of hard core heavy metal fans like those two. After those two is when people’s opinions start to change
Their first 2 albums were great. They captured what it was like to be young in the mid-90s. And for 2,3 years Noel had an incredible run as a songwriter writing sing along anthems, that connected with their audience in a special way. After that they lost their magic unfortunately and never really developed musically.
Hi Pete been missing for quite a while and our tastes are pretty similar… I have to say that this is the funniest episode and I laughed out loud some of the descriptions about what you don’t like about these bands just knocked me off my chair LOL I have to say this is probably the one video where our taste lined up 100% every man you named it for all the reasons you name them was so spot on… Keep on doing what you’re doing thanks!
True Story: Bob Dylan asked Slash to play guitar on one of his tracks in the mid-90s. The released version of the song had the Slash solo cut out .. according to Dylan: 'it sounded too much like GnR' .. lol :)
@@juliosanchez95 Hey, you never know, I could easily see him wearing the shirt of one of his least favorite bands as a joke. In hindsight, I should've known that a man with as good taste as him wouldn't dislike Steely Dan
Pretty spot on! Totally agree with most of this video. Quite like Chronic Town through to Green by REM but agree they lost it in the nineties. Oddly Oasis usually had their best songs as b-sides: Acquiesce is their best record.
I love watching this rant. I'm with Pete on all these ....it's like my voice of discontent with these bands. Only Motley got any $ from me for their first vinyl. Pearl Jam I got their first cd (record club), but the rest, just loved to hate. I love the feeling Pete puts into this, he really turns on the contempt in a funny way.
If they did Use your illusion as a single album, it would have been one of the greatest albums of all time imo. Too bad they only made music together for about 5 years
There was a period when they were the best band on the planet. I saw them in 1991 in Cleveland. They could have ducks the night before and the night after but on that night they were the best.
I agree....the Stones were allowing him to butcher Memory Motel on the 98 -99 tours.....they finally played the song in Bremen on that tour without him and Jagger says...." no Dave Matthews...??"......yeah Mick.....thank God.....
The reason a lot of bands in the 90s irritate people like you and me is because they were "products." Their image, their music, was all designed by formulae that record companies felt was attractive to young people based on a whole host of things that had been tried before. The antihero front man, a tragic figure struggling to keep his bangs out of his face as well as addiction. That sort of thing. When Generation Y rediscovered the Beatles, then every British pop group had to have a vocalist that whined like Lennon. I was dragged around to so many of these concerts in the 90s and early 2000s, and wanted to puke everytime I would see the whole audience jump up and down like my 8-year-old when I would tell him we're going to an amusement park. That jumping thing was a specific kind of behavior for fans of skater rock and pop punk of the era, like headbanging and "devil horns" were for metal, I guess. But anyway, you named all the bands and kind of music that drives me nuts. I also agree about Bob Dylan, but I must confess that his later albums, when he started growling more like Dr. John, really have started to grow on me. Thanks for the fun show and the memories!
I have to add U2 to the list if I hear the start of I still havent found what Im looking for I cant change the station fast enough god I hate that fucking song.Good list thanks for the laughs !!
Their first 2 albums were really good, but, they lost me when 'War' came out and every song was killed for me because of radio-overplay. I never was interested in anything else they released after that due to their poppier sound.
Another terrible band, I remember seeing them on the second stage at ozzfest and saw kids going nuts - I was listening to Blind Guardian and Emperor at the time thinking how much talent these people were missing out on.
I like some of their songs, mostly the ones that made it to promo videos. Most came from one of their early 2000's albums. "Before I forget," Sulfur, and Duality. Those songs seemed to be songs, propelled by their style. Their other tunes seem to be more about style.
You're batting 1.000 on this one! Every time you stepped up to the plate, you knocked it out of the park! You should do some more of these "grinding my gears" segments. Absolutely fun and hilarious!
I agree! Twisted Sister and Dokken are the only 2 hair metal bands that I can stand. I don't understand how people worship Crue. They're sloppy, disgusting, drugged up, sexed-up, and misogynistic. What confuses me about bands like Motley, Poison, and other hair bands is that they had this stylistic idea that was like... "We're so masculine that we don't even need to look like men." Ughh!!! The REAL metal bands of the 80s were Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Metallica, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, etc. Iron Maiden is AWESOME! 🤘, Motley Crue is TRASH! 👎
@@Doomer610 I agree with you! I didn't say that I like them though. I only said that I can STAND them. I know they're just as ridiculous, but I do respect Dee Snider after what he, Frank Zappa, and John Denver did in 1985. It takes guts to stand up for your music and your art to a bunch of white politician's wives.
I had a friend in the 80’s that mocked me because I liked new wave and punk and didn’t like bands like Motley Crue and all those nasty hair bands. I kept trying to tell him I wasn’t against metal and that what I considered metal was Iron Maiden,AC/DC , Metallica ,Anthrax,Black Sabbath ( Ozzy years) etc.etc. I was actually into harder stuff then he was.
I don't understand either. I don't see anything special or significant about them. They're just like any other hair metal band. Also can't stand anyone in that band except Mick Mars. They all just come off as whiney, colossal douchebags stuck in puberty
LOL! and they're still out there, if you can believe it, but a new video of them playing someplace in Europe(cause it's the only place that stupidly still likes them?) and head limp noodle, is still jumping around, but he now looks like one of the ZZTop guys,check it out as it's a hoot! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gKzPT6rrEGE.html
@@MrRugbyloosehead I can't believe they still have a lot of fans in Russia, in the U.S. they peaked sometime around 2001 and then disappeared, I agree Fred Durst looks an awful a lot like one of the guys in ZZ Top.
@@Doobie1975 I was reading that a lot of bands that have lost favor in North America, tour Europe ,and the third world countries as many f them want this kind f "entertainment" and as ridiculous as it sounds it's the bitter truth!
Michael Stipe calling Pete: "Consider this, Pete: Oh, mine, is bigger. It's longer than yours and a little bit thicker. The length that I will go to, is the distance in your eyes. Oh no, I've said too much. I'll get it up... Okay, well, this just got awkward. I'm hanging up now. Stop talking about me, Pete!"
I *knew* I wouldn't have to scroll very far to see smashmouth on this list. Cringeworthy crap that always made me want to take an ice pick to the speakers.
The rant on more modern music is more of an indictment as to the state of the industry itself. They aren't willing to take chances on new bands like they would in the 70's. Who needs artistry, soul or talent? We need $$ never mind a diversity of sound. Makes one wonder if we'll ever hear the thunder of a Moon, the lyrics of Fagen and Becker, the screams of a Gillan or the re-defining sounds of Jimi. The 70's were a time of experimentation and the diversification of sound was instantly recognizable and mainly unique. Take prog for an example, no one would ever confuse the sounds of Yes, King Crimson, ELP or Tull.
I agree that hating Dylan's voice while loving Geddy Lee's voice doesn't make any sense at all. But there is no logic to people's musical likes and dislikes. It's simply gut reaction.
I would expand on Eminem and include ALL hip-hop music on my list. No vocals, just rhythmic talking. Sounds the same, monotonous, no melodic range, no harmonies, nothing to hold your attention. Annoyingly redundant.
Totally agree 💯...I never got the appeal of Bruce Springsteen. I never heard anything from him that made me say, that's a great song. Then I heard him sing. I've seen some interviews and his views on certain things. I never got the whole, "Hey Wendy, we're gonna make it out of this place, get back to Jersey, and play at the tavern with my buddies from HS." Talking about the Glory days, playing baseball, drinking some cold brews, "here comes Wendy's brothers best friend Joey, just got laid off his job at the factory, what about the working man" ??? Hey Wendy, we're almost back in Jersey... the hometown hero can't keep a good man down bullshit !!! Yeah Bruce, you really care about the blue collar working man... "But Bruce brings so much energy and passion to the stage", "Springsteen is all American apple pie rock n roll"...Such a great song writer....blah, blah, fucking Jersey blah ! 🤢🤮😷🤤
Thanks for the video. So interesting to me that my musical interests line up with a bunch of the bands you love (Dream Theater, Rush, etc.) but also with so many that you don’t (Pearl Jam, R.E.M., Dylan). Really highlights to me that each of us is different and has a unique set of likes and dislikes - it’s the flavor of life
My wife always says, "Don't yuck someone else's yum". So, I bite my tongue when someone excitedly tells me that they are going to see some band that I don't share their enthusiasm for. What I dislike the most is when a band gets over-the-top hype, with fans who constantly worship them as music gods. But, that said, I usually have to bite my tongue and avoid rolling my eyes for one simple reason; these hyped-up bands make many people happy. That's what music is for. Pop artists are popular because they give people the simple music that makes those people smile. Why should I complain about that? At the very least, I can keep my pompous opinions to myself. Because even my progressive rock friends don't agree on their favorite bands. It's all subjective opinions.
Those are not SPAM calls. They are Eminem, REM, Motley Crue, Poison, and the ghost of Kurt Cobain calling to cuss you out. But you never answer, so instead they are leaving thumbs-downs.
@@bbsqtlead4939 have you ever seen Springsteen in concert? The guy is an icon. A fucking rock and roll icon! Last time I saw him in 2016 he plays 4 hours and 7 minutes. This is video below is from 1978. Read some of the comments at the bottom of the video and you'll understand why Bruce Springsteen is a legend and one of the greatest rock and roll frontmen, songwriters and performers in the history of music! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DWos8TS9yaE.html
I had to tolerate Bruce 2x: once when he came on stage as an encore here in Philly, at JFK stadium (R.I.P.), during U2's "Joshua Tree" tour in 1987. Again, at Peter Gabriel's Amnesty International concert (also at JFK Stadium) 1988. He is in my hat trick of "talent-less hacks": Bruce, Jimmy Boo-Fay (Buffett), and KI$$.
@@phillipb9328 No, He came on stage at JFK Stadium during U2s "Joshua Tree" tour and sang the encore with them,... Sam Cooke's "Stand By Me". As I was still only 15, or so, I turned to my Mom and said,. "TAKE ME HOME,... NOW!!!"
No way. It's like you are reading my mind. I was actually thinking of Counting Crows while watching the video. I hate all those bands except maybe Volbeat...though I don’t rlisten to them or own any of their albums. But wow, for a video you were reluctant to do, you totally nailed it. Do a video ranking the Eluveitie albums.
Felt strange to hear Pete bashing some of the music that I really love like Nirvana, Oasis and Bob Dylan. No one gets it all and that's really all so interesting. Music is all so important and it's great to hear it being discussed in the way that it's done on this channel. Music's the best and it's the best when it's shared.
I can't stand Nirvana or Oasis wither and agree with Pete's reasons. Oasis were generic dullards, stealing from their (supposed) influences, the 'rugby team' band of choice at pubs in the UK for years and THE most singularly un poetic, un original and boring band in existence. The McDonalds of music.
Oasis might be kinda the Whitesnake of the rock-pop genre of the 90's, to me at least it was and still is 'cause it meant so much to me in my teenage years, the first band that did it to me. First two albums + the b-sides and the last two, the 6th and the 7th, were good ones according to my taste, albums in the middle were unfortunately mediocre as a whole. Nirvana had a really short run but those three albums and the b-sides and live takes were great in my mind, excellent melodies, brilliant singer and just really excellect in their own genre of 80-90's edition of punk-rock music in my mind.
Ha! Our singer at the times was a huge Korn and LP fan. Cajoled us all into going out to see them a few times- bet she promotes them better than the guys they pay to do it. If that hadn't happened, I might have remained blissfully unmindful of those band to this day with no regrets. Lost time and lost very pricey concert ticket $$$ that would have been better spent elsewhere-
@@RTDF516 ...how about the Woodstock of the nineties with these Korn type bands....massive out of control fires....gang rapes....break out the firehoses and mow'em down....the 80's Woodstock had metal bands and nothing as bad as that...
@@larrynolletti4594 *'That's just your opinion man!' vs 'The facts are the facts?!'* Like I said give us a break. Your moralyzing self praise and arrogance are enormous. Still it must make life simpler living in a world of self serving delusions. I've read poetry from the Roman poet Catullus written 2000 years ago about how the youth of his day were less moral than when he was young, lacked respect for their elders, drank too much wine, made too much noise and stayed up partying too late. In the 70's we had heroin and Jimmy Page with 13 year old girls. We are INDIVIDUALS; every generation! Perhaps you should join a monastery and become a monk!
Can't deny their impact but I don't like Kiss. They look like they'd be heavy as hell and then when they play it's like crappy pop rock. And Gene Simmons ugh.
Hm...do you think metal legends like Dimebag Darell, Quorthon (first nickname Ace) and Jason Newsted became huge Kiss fans because of I was made for lovin you, Shandi, Lick it up and such songs? Check out Kiss concert in Winterland 75' , Alive I and Alive II tours, Creatures of the night songs... www.dailymotion.com/video/x2q8riw ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kfmrX_WlM2w.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UIh-U71uRnQ.html
Brian Blaze I agree wholeheartedly, but there are some BIG Kiss fans here and Pete likes them. I just don’t get them and never did, even when they were relatively fresh. Maybe it’s just me. I don’t like comic books either.
I mean I like stuff like Bathory, Venom, Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate alot. But KISS's music never resonated with me personally. I'm sure many disagree with me and that's fine. Everyone likes the music they like for certain reasons.
@@ObsidianBlaze9 I understand you. From modern perspective you would expect from their image that Kiss are into black metal. But the fact is when they appeared in 74' they called them American Black Sabbath - loud, hard music, shocking image, candles and fire...many religious groups protested against them, they had to cancel some tours in South America...they have their part in rock evolution, it took some time for some genres to be born. For example, i really like Bathory, but I dont care much for Venom and Mercyful Fate, although I know they had influence on many great bands.
The thing with KISS is: listen to Paul Stanley's songs and skip most of the Gene Simmons tunes. Paul was an excellent glam rock singer and songwriter up until around 2000. Gene was always an average singer with a croaky voice and his songwriting extremely generic (with a few exceptions of course like Unholy and his songs on Lick It Up).
Speaking of annoying voices ... how about Neil Young? Songs are great BUT, to me, Neil always sounded like my great aunt Winnifred singing in the shower. F*ckin' Awful.
Agree. People say the band ended when Slash left, but I actually think they fell apart earlier, when Izzy left. Izzy told a story about one show where Steve Adler was unable to play, so the drummer for Cinderella filled in. He said the guy was technically perfect, but the songs sounded like crap because the drummer lacked the special swing that Steve used to give them. If you watch early concert footage, you can tell that Izzy played a huge role in keeping the band tight.
1st three bands you mentioned - I totally agree! I hate Poison, I don't like Motley Crue, and what can you say about GnR...When the debut came out, I was 15 and I loved it, I brought me to Rock and Metal...but I left GnR behind me quite quickly...
