Most underrated band

Casi · 02-26-09, 09:22 PM

So many in the Rock/Metal genre that would deserve more attention than the shit that is played on radio, MTV or wherever.

Matt Rain · 02-26-09, 09:24 PM

Weezer is huge, Brock. I dunno what you're talking about. The Buddy Holly video was on the ****ing Windows 95 CD, for ****'s sake.

First rock show I've been to, too. 1994, I was 16. I took up guitar partly 'cause of Weezer.

Brock Landers · 02-26-09, 09:25 PM

just saying Matt, they seem to be under the radar, like no where near a pearl jam or U2 level, but i'll be damned if they don't pump out hit after hit

Bread · 02-26-09, 09:28 PM

Yea don't know about being underrated.

Great freakin song here.

Matt Rain · 02-26-09, 09:29 PM

Weezer is seriously huge, Brock, even more so than Pearl Jam IMO. I'm pretty sure they sold more records than PJ. They probably got a lot less media exposure than other bands, though... Rivers Cuomo is a reserved dude.

Weezer is/was big with the ladies and sensitive college boys.

They are pretty bad, besides a few songs. Hash Pipe was the last song they released that was any good. Their new stuff is god awful.

It's been the same stuff over and over again. Still, unique sound IMO.

I miss the grunge era.

I am not a Weezer fan by any means but that song is a catchy tune.

Brock Landers · 02-26-09, 09:41 PM

here is a real good song and cool video too

Boner_18 · 02-26-09, 09:41 PM

Worst live performance I have ever seen.

Matt Rain · 02-26-09, 09:42 PM

Weezer's blue album is deserted island material for me. Very few albums sound better when cranked up to 11. Distorted-power-chord heaven.

3 Days Grace !

Iwinyourmoney · 02-26-09, 09:42 PM

I saw them live, I thought they were good. Dude kept saying "im so high" and "im so stoned" like between every song

Agreed, they can't sing in tune to save their life. I've seen worse though - RHCP's Anthony Kiedis is the KING at butchering his own songs. Oh my God, my poor ears.

Flyleaf

Matt Rain · 02-26-09, 09:45 PM

As for the original intent of this thread, I have to say Sonic Youth. They're seen as this outdated hipster band, but they're true timeless geniuses.

I'd have to go with Chevelle.

Brock Landers · 02-26-09, 09:48 PM

Seether is another band who does nothing but crank out hit after hit, they should be much bigger

Pearl Jam chose to step away from the game in 95, they sold 1 mil copies of their sophomore album in the first week, which was unheard of at the time, that record stood for five or so years... THAT BEING SAID...

Not many bands can tour the world and sell out any coliseum or arena in any city they choose. They don't get the recognition because they don't choose to kiss anyone's ass, they have always done it their own way... There is no better band in the world IMO.....

There are 100's of better bands. PJ is generic hard rock.

Brock Landers · 02-26-09, 09:54 PM

Vitalogist, i love Pearl Jam and have since i remember Evenflow 1st on the radio in 1992. There is still no better time for music in my opinion than 1991-1995, SO much good shit then its amazing.

Pearl Jam puts on a fabulous live show too, saw em in 95 at soldier Field in Chicago and various other times after, never been dissapointed.

BeatTheJerk · 02-26-09, 09:57 PM

This song for me rocks my fuking roof off ...............

vitalogist · 02-26-09, 09:58 PM

I feel ya bro... I've seen them close to 30 times now (I do have the benefit of living in the Seattle area tho), and I can tell you they still put on the best rock and roll show you could ever hope to see... don't pass them up next time they come to your city brock!

For sure, that whole Apocalyptica album is great. The song with Corey Taylor - I'm not Jesus, is my favorite on the album.

Iwinyourmoney · 02-26-09, 10:00 PM

BTJ I rocked that song hard core for 2 months when me and the ex broke up, I love it

BeatTheJerk · 02-26-09, 10:03 PM

I'm sure it acted as a healer Iwin good for you dawg ....................

awesome, were you in the Seattle area in the early 90's when they 1st hit along with Nirvana and Alice in Chains and Soundgarden? Thats just the best music to this day, i always remember seeing th movie Singles in September 92 when i was a freshman in college, GOOD TIMES!

Temple of the Dog's one album is fantastic too

Yea, I've lived here my whole life... I've always wished I'd been born about five years earlier - My life changed one day in 1992 when I was 15, I bought Ten and Nevermind on the same day... I saw about every band that mattered from here EXCEPT Nirvana....
