I found the Rival Schools album in my parents' loft the other day. I was expecting it to be quite decent but only had faint memories. It actually really sounded like the Stereophonics. Maybe it was just the voice but I was so very disappointed given that I used to like Gorilla Biscuits quite a lot.
Examples of people in bad bands forming much better bands?
united by fate
is amazing :)
in the positive corner
lightspeed champion, and leading by a country mile in the negative : the mars volta
do you like the Stereophonics?
Stereo-what-ics?!?
rival schools sound like THE STEREOPHONICS?!?!? what fresh outrage is this?!? it's an immense album, imo.
though it's probably not as good if you're trying to score cool points from other people with obscure band t-shirts on.
it really does
I was horrified. I didn't even notice any particularly good songs. I will give it another go though.
they sounded like bush
so overrated
Bush > Stereophonics
or Stereophonics > Bush.
I can't decide.
the second bush album
if you try and forget you are listening to bush, is actually alright, some interesting guitar stuff going on
totally agreed
won't do nothing for your indie cool but that's a great album
The Jeevas > Kula Shaker
But I'm sure to be alone on this one...
audioslave
are surely the kings of good bands turning into an awful one
so many people in hardcore bands
who go off and do rubbish acoustic singer songwriter stuff.
in a similar vein, i was sure Head Automatica were going to be amazing.
Anything where Daryl Palumbo is involved, regardless of genre, surely must be. But then they were poop. Shame.
ed fitz
then foals.
oh dear.
i actually like popaganda now
it's the fun
good for you
it's poop though
DeSalvo
The side project of Idlewild's second guitarist, I wasn't positively or negatively surprised. I was just surprised. (Come on! They sound nothing like Idlewild)
He was in Desalvo
long before he was in Idlewild. Desalvo are an incredible band and in absolutely no way an "Idlewild side project". What a stupid thing to say.
Wings
... the band The Beatles could have been
:D
Example of person in great band forming terrible band:
Blood Red Shoes
it's so much harder to think of example the other way round
I'm struggling
neutral milk hotel
i think the last thing jeff mangum was supposed to be doing was making weird field recordings of romanian villages and the like.
and if thats not gonna be absolute bollocks then i dont know what is
fugazi > the evens
theyre ok tho, dont get me wrong
zombie zombie
i thought they'd be good cos it was herman dune. very different but rubbish rubbish rubbish.
Squirrel bait to Slint (and gastr del sol). Little bit obscure?
Fieldy's Dreams
was fucking ace
Korn
were fucking shit
I LIKE THIS POST BEST.
xxxxx
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
<3 me too!
raconteurs
i think their 1st akbums ace, dunno bout the 2nd tho, not heard it yet
Pearl Jam...
...are alot better than Mother Love Bone that's for sure.
Sure to get loads of stick here.
But so far I haven't heard anything that impresses me by any of the Blood Brothers successing projects.
nope,
i'm down with that
Except
Jaguar Love being outrageously good.
Ladyfuzz >>>> Soho Dolls
Ladyfuzz were fantastic - Yet their guitar/bass player Matt joined Soho Dolls who just sound contrived in their attempt to make this sexycool electro pop which Goldfrapp did a whole lot better a few years ago.
He is wasted in that band i think. But i suppose he needs to pay the bills or something.
Smashing Pumpkins > Zwan > Smashing Pumpkins post Zwan
Zwan were better than I expected, the new Pumpkins material was as bad as I expected
True dat.
I was
hoping for more from new end original.
Not bad but not as good as it promised.
Also see anything Jonah has done since Far
"former member of"
When I see those words on cd covers I always shy away.
Led Zeppelin featuring Jimmy Page
Former member of the Yardbirds?
tim kinsella
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
But,
Tim Kinsella has consistantly been making good music for over a decade...
The Weakerthans
I appreciate a whole lot more than Propagandhi.
The Good, the Band and The Queen?
Good..but not as good as i thought it'd be
bloke from busted....now in fightstar
