How pepper says about his fans seeing through the newer music is true. And Im one of those fans. I make fun of this stupid ass three days grace, and alll this like.. Breaking Benjamin and stuff it all sucks. Nothing is made of the passion of music anymore, its for money and attention and its PATHETIC. I love down, and all the true 90's stuff. Everything now SUCKS. Sorry guys. it does. Everything from the 90's is true, and will always be true.
haha yess. Mastodon! Well when you come to calling certain genres of bands fake or commercial, you have to generalize bc it can get specific but theres no need to :P
I agree. I think it has a lot to do with the technology of buying music these days. Consumers can just pick out whatever piece of the pie they want without having to commit to a band these days. It leads to a McDonald's type of buy quickly and throw away mentality. The mid 90's were the last years of the "classic" music distribution system that required a lot of talent on the musicians part to convince the labels to carry them. Right or wrong, it did manage to tin out the weak from the strong.
Glad to see someone like me that agrees on how the 90's and even classic music were true to what they stand for, that being Art, and music itself. Its made from the heart, not for the #1 spot on the billboard charts. The bands you hear these days are so undistinguishable. Theres just not alot of difference between them all. I think the 90's were the best time for metal and rock for there were SO MANY styles in just that little decade. White Zombie, Tool, Down, etc.
i think peppers one of the most "bullshitless" guys in the music industry today. he dont fuck around and hes real as fuck and ive never heard one of his tracks that i dont like
@ShaneMoFxxxinHuff Exactly, I know he and Hetfield are close buds buthe even told them all face to face he could care less, he's got his own thing regardless (regarding being their bass player). Pepper is bad ass.
Pepp is the man...such an inspiration \m/

Most of the 90s sucks too........the 80s was the greatest decade of music.

As far as the hard rock and Metal genre i believe it was the biggest growth, and in my personal opinion was the best.
But 80's had the most rapid change from glam to metal, thus including like, classic rock.

don't generalize. We've still got great bands such as The Mars Volta or Mastodon doing their own thing. I think something big is coming :D
