Never do the math on how old the classics were when you were a kid. My first concert ever was Tom Petty when I was under 10. I recently saw Tool live. When I saw Tom Petty in the early 90s he was newer than Tool was when I saw them last year. I am oldening.
My first concert ever was Fall Out Boy in 2006, when I was 16 years old. I saw them again this year, 18 years later. The time between those 2 shows was longer than the time between my birth and the first show, and to me it felt like only a few years had gone by. The next time I blink I'll be 50.
I'll probably catch some heat for this but Creed and Nickelback are both pretty solid bands. I wouldn't call either my favorite by any means but it is my firm opinion that the hate they've gotten over the years is more of a viral opinion than any legitimate criticism.
While we're on the subject, listen to Alterbridge if you haven't heard them. It's Creed with Myles Kennedy as a front man, who is an amazing singer.
They're both fairly mid imo, but definitely don't deserve anything like the nuclear hate they got. Alterbridge is pretty great, all the good parts of Creed without Scott Stapp grunting all over everything.
Creed is awesome.
I think the Creed and Nickelback hate is a cringe US phenomenon. Luckily it never swapped over to the rest of the world.
We made fun of Nickelback in their home country as well but not anymore. They just played a sold out show last week here so their popularity isn't slowing.
Nickelback hate made it to the UK—I'm pretty sure it's still regarded as pretty cringe to say you like them to most of the people that still know the name
Nickelback is alright i think. But the amount of time it was played on the radio was insane. I think that tipped me over and i completely stopped listening to it. But that is hardly their fault.
Creed and Nickelback are both pretty solid bands.
Found the non-human AI that doesn't have ears.
You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.
As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.
Stop, stop, I'm already
deadold!Keep your creed, I don’t need that bullshit.
So you're saying you're not attending the Creed cruise next year?!
Oh my fucking god.
Guess I am now! jk
I'm in this meme and I don't like it
that first Godsmack album absolutely fucked
second one did too
is that good or bad?
Good!
She hates time, make it stop
When did Mötley Crüe become classic rock?
The time since the release of that song is longer than 1985 was from it (2004).
I owned 5 of those on CD. Worthless Internet points if you can guess the one I never owned.
Like how all new metal is nu-metal, right?
Classic rock does not mean old. It's a specific fucking genre. This is like insisting whatever's new must be modernist because it's modern, and old modernism is now post-modern. That's not how words work.
Aerosmith's "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" was contemporaneous with these albums, and it was classic rock at the time.
