Does bad music make you feel violent?
I am just wondering. Because for example, whenever I hear a song by Limp Bizkit I want to kill Limp Bizkit. Whenever I hear a song by Kid Rock, I want to kill Kid Rock.

1. Yes! I wanna kill Phil Collins for his cover of
"You Can't Hurry Love." WTF was he thinking and why does it always play on the light station in the doctor's/dentist's office?

5. The light rock stations have a small and very boring library of music.

11. A better question is what ever happened
to the Phil Collins who could actually rock.

15. Actually he could his first two solo albums really kicked ass
but then again he was going through a messy divorce at the time so that might have fired him up. You probably have heard "In the Air Tonight" well its him talking about his ex-wife. Though by the time he got to "No Jacket Required" his third album you began to see signs of the Phil Collins we know today.

18. I just remember it because
when I was in HS "No Jacket Required" came out and it was a mega album that year. So everyone was listening to Phil.

20. You aren't really missing anything
Edited on Sat Mar-26-05 03:01 AM by lenidog
so no big loss. The only really great song he ever did was with his old band Genesis. Its called "Jesus He Knows Me" and they did it after all the scandals rocked the televangelists.

3. Celine Dion
When I hear her music I want to hit her or something else. It is just soooo irritating. The same is true with a few others in the corporate pop masquerading as classy music category.

12. yes, I don't like her at all. I don't want to kill her, I want to ban her
I'm musically frustrated. Why isn't anyone playing straight rock without rap influence bs (I like rap, but not combined with rock) and shaking their long hair to the guitar solos anymore. I'm so eighties, I know.

I hope this is not taken the wrong way, but there is something nauseating to me about taking a traditional attitude of black rap artists who come from a generally oppressed people, and pasting it onto white boys who have all the license in the world. In that context, it's overkill. I dont' think Eminen acts like this, but that Kid Rock guy, and the other ones, blech, it turns me off.

21. The only Rock/Rap combo that I liked was the Red Hot Chili Peppers
I thought they were talented enough to pull it off.

9. Yes it does
Maybe not kill them but possibly do them great bodily harm. Though I will admit there are a couple singers out there who I wouldn't mind helping with an operation to cauterize their voice box so they will never sing again.

10. No
Who, or what, is in control? You, or someone else's music?

It might seem cool to be driven to violence over an allegiance to music, but it's actually about the most stupid thing possible. Remember the Mods and Rockers and their "riots"? A bunch of junior drunks with nothing better to do than look for reasons to fight -- reasons that included clothing style, slang, and choice of recording artists.

And the same thing goes for football (soccer) hooligans. There's no honor or glory in being a jackass.

Music makes a miserable god.

--p!

22. I don't think any of these people are actually serious
Not to the extent that they woud actually go out and commit acts of violence anyway. This is the lounge, don't take shit so seriously.

14. i usually want to kill
those who buy and listen to bad music as opposed to those who make bad music

because you need that figurehead to mock, but when a million people actually buy that shit they cross a line
