(P.S.: Preferring Iron Maiden to Kix means hating fun, period. Or maybe just hating hooks, wit, rhythm, melodies, weirdness, singers who can actually sing, and rock'n'roll. Same things, more or less.)

There are oodles of bands who only managed one or two decent albums before splitting. That wasn't my point. However, I don't think Good Charlotte are doing anything interesting or original enough for them to milk it beyond album number three. Maybe they'll prove me wrong and re-invent themselves ala Talk Talk or Radiohead. Stranger things have certainly happened. All I know is that to me they're well below mediocre in the music department, and the fact that they insist on dressing themselves up like something they're not only adds insult to injury.

I'm also curious about his assertion that Tina Marie is a metal artist, but that's another thread.

nickalicious is OTM: argue semantics of longevity if you want (yes, it's a bad argument, whatever), Good Charlotte still suck; even the song of theirs I like, I went off on pretty quickly. They're like what Blink 182 shits out after a glass of Metamucil, for fuck's sake. They are never going to pull off something as great as "First Date", much less Iron Maiden's best work, because they just aren't very good.
― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 19:08 (twenty-one years ago) link
Kix do have their dub-metal moments, by the way. That's in my book, too, I think. But start with "Walking Away" and "Book to Hypnotise."
And for crissakes, Alex, her name is TEENA Marie. And I said ONE of her albums was metal; I defy you to show me ANYWHERE where I called her "a metal artist". And if you don't understand WHY *Emerald City* sounds metal to me, it might help to read the intro to my book, and the *Emerald City* review which said book contains. It's all there!

Who dissed 3EB? I merely stated that Good Charlotte's music owes more to them than it does to the Exploited (a point I co-opted from Anthony, basically). When I "diss" someone, YOU'LL KNOW IT!

I can see you and I have completely different interpretations of the word "peak". ;-)

Ha! Chuck, I love it, I'm going to never explain myself again and just direct everyone to read my previous entries on my blog whenever I say anything (PS I'M SORRY I'M KIDDING PLEASE DON'T YELL AT ME HOW LATE I AM ON THE TURBONEGRO THING)

You mentioned 3EB and Good Charlotte together=you insulted 3EB. On the other hand, that means I just insulted "First Date", which I didn't, so my theory is rub. Carry on, homeboy.
PS Radiohead's best song was "The Bends", u r all lame.

Given all that, I don't really HATE the Misfits. And "Mother" is okay.

Good lord, man, have you never wrapped your ears around Static Age?
― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link
Well, I don't have time to repeat everything I've ever written in my life, sorry. And since Alex is arguing with my book in the first place (since that's *where* I identifed Teena Marie music as metal), and seems so bugged by it, it might help if he'd READ the damn thing.

I'd wear cowboy boots, a luchador mask, and a Pope costume
Dammit, Nickalicious, I expect you to be wearing that every day by default! Especially at work!
My own list: GC, blah, Misfits, rah, Iron Maiden, eh, Kix, I actually like the few songs I've heard from them and Steve Whiteman's interview with Metal Sludge is good fun so that counts for something.
As for Peter Green-era FM, try Then Play On...

And you have my sympathies Chuck, but that's what you get for writing damn good shit in 1990. I'd hate it if I still had to defend my belief that EMF was the 3rd best band ever (or INXS being 2nd), which I had in 1992.

Now that I mention it, John Mayall/ Bluesbreaker's *Bare Wires* feat. a young Mick Taylor, anyone??? Perhaps this deserves it's own thread.
BTW, who is Good Charlotte?

p.s. Siegbran is dead wrong about Kix's lyrics, by the way. Donnie Purnell's love of dirty puns was right up there with Bon Scott's, and Ally will be happy to know that they even have a song called "Kix are For Kids." (Corny!) But I'll print these instead; they clearly beat Iron Maiden to hell, though a fairer comparion might well be Morrisey:
Once upon a time in a deserted little townAn incubated boy was born and they tried to put him downDidn't have no muscles hereDidn't have no fatBut when he opened up his mouth ya heard the biggest trapThey called him big mouthBig trapLoud mouthMighty mouthHere comes the M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mighty mouthNo silver spoon, grew up too soon out on the dirtHe took a big deep breath and popped the buttons off his shirtHe's no zero oh he's a heroHe's every mother's dreamAnd all the boys could feel the noiseThey'd shake when they'd hear him screamThey called him big mouthBig trapLoud mouthMighty mouth
