ummmm..... i don't care if this guy is funny sometime. Barry Mannilow is an important part of music, even if not his songs - but the songs he has written and produced for others.
ALSO George Michael is a very talented singer and songwriter.
I'm not sure what the Pepsi Generation is. I'm 24 years old and actually a child of baby boomers making me Generation X. And the whole George Michael scandal was set up, that cop pulled out his dick to George Michael first. And other than that I am so sick of the word "Asinine". It's overused, just like "epic".
And Barry Mannilow might not be everybody's taste, but he is still a respected part of American Music. You can't take away his years of success no matter what.
@mcjayc100 Our generations aren't as clearly defined. I call anyone born between 1985-1999 "the unnamed generation". Gen Y is older than me I thought and I'm 23 I was born in 1988. I thought Gen Y ended in 1984 and the next "generation" was the Millenium Generation that was born in 2000 and after.
@KingRadbadical1988 Not my fault that noone wants to be a part of anything anymore than looking like a pretty boy rich kid and listening to soulless bland music. Fuck we're the most socially conservative generation since the Victorian Era its sickening, and most of all, BORING. Soon people gotta get bored of this pretty boy "everyone's a hustler" mentality people don't even drink fuck fight and smoke at parties anymore they just stand there trying to look rich.
These are the loosely accepted guidelines, although there's a lot of wiggle room as to which generation you belong. Usually, the Gen Y kids are the children of Baby Boomers, while the Gen Z are the offspring of Gen X.
@degree7 Exactly. I changed the definition and decided that everyone born between 1983-1999 is "generation Y" and everyone born 2000 and after are the "millenials"
I don't care if people called 90s babies milennials, that was stupid of them, that term should describe people born in 2000 and after lol.
Its a very loose definition with no real clear boundary on either side.
Bill Hicks comedy is dead, but listening to this is like listening to the right view of media and music. He has such a great view on pop culture and life that makes me feel like I don't need to kill myself in need for a revolution.
Bill hicks is amazing:) I love the way he gets very serious and then at the end adds a bit of comedy like'' i am available for kids parties'' he is a true legend
Yea i know that mainstream music now sucks and Bill Hicks would have a field day making fun of them. But there is also a lot of good music around. So much! Bands like the Foo Fighters and still around and still making great music without selling out. Then there are new bans like Mumford and Sons, the Black Keys, Cage the Elephant, Tallest Man on Earth, and a bunch of others. Just keep looking!!!!
@ifreakinglovemusic29 I do like Foo Fighters, I'll give you give you that. I don't know most of these other bands but Black Keys are on the chopping block as well. They have a decent sound, but they've whored out their music for commercial use. Which is a shame because I do like they're sound....
Justin Bieber... ok, I hate him everytime I see a picture of his silly face, but when I stop to think a bit more, I realize who's to blame: the audience, of course; but it doesn't stop there. The audience (mostly kids) is totally stupefied by parents, school, TV, radio, even books and government.
These people are buying Ferrari's to Justin Bieber, that fuckin' maggot whit bits of hair...
@barneyismyhomeboy They have no affect on me. They're pop, and rather generic and shitty pop on top of that.
Dimebag claimed to play Metal, I love Metal, and Dimebag played shitty "Metal", so it is more of an important thing to me, than some commercial hack who makes over-produced music that is only sold to the dumbass general masses, not me.
@purplenurps Your not the only one fucking mad over that mate, i think Pink called herself a rockstar aswell. It would be great to see Bill rip into them.
i like rock music....... like from 60s like doors, cream, hendrix, blue cheer, some shit from 50s chuck berry, cash, some shit from 70s led zepp, black sabbath, deep purple NONE from 80s little from 90s (all grunge) and almost nothing now..... some bands like the black keys are alright nothing speial tho...
@Erk1982 Don't you ever talk about Dimebag like that again. Even though they played different genres and not really comparable because of it, that doesn't mean you can't admire and have respect for their obvious talents.
@Erk1982 Funny, because, if you take out "as fast as possible", that's pretty much what Hendrix did, played sloppily and as distorted as possible. But hey, it was done under the influence of pot in the 60's, so of course that means it was genius, no question's asked! And this is coming from someone who likes of his music.
@AskeGuitar Dimebag was a hack. Horrible/simple-as-fuck riffs and bullshit shred for solos.
He was a bigger disease to Metal than 80's Glam was. Glam died out, Dimebag became a legend and caused Metal to become the untalented cesspool of try-hard tough guys it is today.
@Wiz83 Ha ha Glee! Isn't that ace! I like the way they have every race and type to make it fair! Fucking evil! I like Doug Stanhope more than Bill as he is funnier. I see Bill as a stand up commentator rather than a stand up comedian. Still, he is a legend we need now more than ever
To be fair, if we didn't have all these shitty artists during the 80's, talented musical artists wouldn't be able to sample them against their will later.
Man if only Bill knew Astley would come back to haunt us in a fucking internet sensation. Seriously, if you were part of that shit, I hope you get cancer.
I want my children to listen to people who FUCKIN' RRROCKEDD! I don't care if they died in puddles of their own VOMIT! I want someone who plays from his fuckin' HEARRRT!
I'm sure Bill would have plenty material with Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus and all though no talent disney products. They make my balls boil with fury.. its a shame that my voice of reason has left to new frequencies... We miss you Bill Hicks.
@theWalrusDude I would thumb you 1000 times if i could. As soon as i saw Beiber i thought "Oh... How i wish Hicks was around", not that i wish him harm from going through the experience. But just to hear him calling it for what it is in public, i would give my pinky toe for that.
@theWalrusDude Bill left his legacy to us. He's not coming back to terrorize mediocrity and banality. It's up to us now dude. I think we should stop thinking about how Bill Hicks and George Carlin would have so much material right now, and start writing the script ourselves. I for one grab the guitar from time to time and do what I can.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I am glad he died before the shit of today came out. Music died for me around 1987.

his principles and sticking to his philosophy that is much needed in
OUR DYING CULTURE!!!!! (What has happened to it???)

He wanted his name in the papers to see if he was revelant. (NOT REVELANT!)
Poor ol' poof flamed out.( PUN INTENDED...EPIC!!!!)
And Barry Mannilow, not respected that much.(BORE!)
Success, yes, but no revelance at all. Get out of that 'American Idol'
