Among the pioneers of crossover and influencers of one or more genres of modern metal, Mike Patton, "Jizzlobber," and the bass-drum duo in "The Real Thing" should be enough for anyone still doubting these geniuses. more

Touching ballads, powerful and often provocative pieces, incredible live shows, superb use of a difficult language like German... I'm sorry for those who disagree, but these Germans, while not the epitome of technical skill, are the prototype of the perfect band. more

The Ramones are great because they showed that you could change rock by writing songs consisting of just three chords (the same ones) and with a maximum duration of three minutes: take that, the intellectual wankery of the "I know everything" critics. more

Recommended by McCartney himself to participate in Woodstock (in a museum in Los Angeles, there is a setlist with his name written last in pen, with, in parentheses, the note "phone call by P.M.C"). Clapton, during a concert, recounts that once in a club in London, Jimmy asked him to come on stage to tune his guitar... anecdotes like these, as far as I'm concerned, only serve to fuel the LEGEND. more

Nice. They expressed their views about ten years ago. Musically poor, but that’s expected. Live, an extra vote. more

Even if one desperately wanted to, it's truly impossible to find a rock guitarist who has revolutionized style and technique like he has. more

Looks can be deceiving. They are shorter, less bitchy, and nicer than they seem. In short, there are worse things (but also, thank you iesus, a looooot better things). I give an extra point for their critical/musical competence, obviously unknown to the masses, because commercial image must prevail, honestly quite ridiculous and devoid of substance. more

His music was truly strange, disorienting, unique.
His death... like his music. A kind of poetry.

Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath cites them as a primary influence. Lemmy of Motörhead holds them in much, much higher regard than the Stones. Matlock of the Sex Pistols loved them. George Benson, struck by "Abbey Road," immediately made his own version of the entire album. Robert Fripp decided to become a musician after hearing "A Day In The Life" on the radio, etc., etc. Does it count? more

Monstrous difference between the early works and the later ones. I adore the early ones, I detest the subsequent, where ideas are glaringly absent. Basically, once they achieved success, they haven't gotten anything right, including political predictions... What a shame, really. I'm losing hope that they will ever move me again. more
