Never seen a more brilliant nickname: icct_hedral. A fabulous example of applied phonetics.

Look, the FNM from the late '80s are among the most entertaining bands in history. Find me a band from that time that encouraged the audience to throw things on stage; find me a singer who, if you throw a sandwich on stage, picks it up and eats it. Download some live performances from that period; each show was a different spectacle. I don't know what you've ever seen from the FNM, but if they weren't having fun, then no one is. Regarding the statement <<< the concept I want to express is that fidhbone and rhcp made music quite different from FNM and RATM, and very different from Korn and the like. >>> Great. However, now you're expressing this concept, while above I read <<< Those who believe nu-metal is the offspring of crossover are wrong. >> Not wrong at all; it is what it is, a legitimate and recognized offspring. Don't then say "well, for crossover I mean," how should I know what you mean? If you use a word that has a precise meaning, you can't expect someone to understand that you mean something else. If you mean something else, write something else; if you write Crossover, I understand crossover. Maybe at 17 I didn't know more than you (and frankly, who cares, I’d say, but at the same time I wouldn’t be so sure about that), but the difference is that at 17 I didn’t go online spouting nonsense while expecting to teach someone something. If you throw out a bullshit, it doesn’t matter if you’re 3 or 45, it’s still bullshit. I'm not debating you; I'm debating the bullshit.

But The Grudge is in Lateralus. I only dislike the latest version of MayNerd. Nothing to say about the previous one, actually.

AT THE END OF THE 80s? But Patton was there!?!?! Depressed Patton is THE BEST ON THE SITE!! I OFFICIALLY NOMINATE YOU HUMAN CASE!

But how can you be influenced by something that will be born years after you? Do you know how old Bill Gould is? Quite a bit older than any grunge band. In '81, Seattle was still a small town of the old west.

I believe that Faith No More didn't have the "black" exuberance that bands like RHCP and Fishbone had. >>> Yes, neither do I. Who wrote that? Read carefully. I was talking about Crossover with FNM, and for Funk Rock (since you want to talk about that), I mentioned the bands that actually "invented" it. If you don't know either Zorn or Mr. Bungle, the problem isn't mine, but yours, as you want to analyze yogurt without knowing what milk is. If you don't know the basics, you can't analyze a topic; it seems quite objective and evident, doesn’t it?

A quick one and then I'll get back to work. Tièh, thanks again, Tièh.

Not to mention that Kyedis had furious arguments with Mr. Bungle precisely because they were always compared among the "inventors" of crossover. And you don’t even mention the Bungle in passing. How can one analyze crossover without mentioning them? It's like talking about Italy in the '50s without mentioning Modugno. Come on, don’t worry, when you grow up and have had the time to listen to a few more million records, you’ll understand. It's not your fault; it really takes time to listen to so much stuff, "nobody is born learned." Anyway, when I’m feeling depressed and grunge like Faith No More, I’ll come here to have a good laugh to cheer myself up. Since I’m at it, I’ll also mention a note about the album: the artwork is awesome too, where you can choose which "member" (since we were talking about Nu-Metal) to put on the cover. It's a giant photo of all of them, and depending on how you fold it, you change the cover. Cool, right?

Anyway, the central point remains: SEND THEM IN DROVES. I'm curious and eager to read more, like Jim Morrison influenced by Drum N Bass, or AC/DC influenced by Thrash metal. Maybe for Christmas, you'll buy yourself a calendar, huh? ...Damn human condition...

But then, also considering the timing, how the hell could Martin Gould & Mosely be influenced by something that was born a year after them? It's technically impossible. Besides the fact that between the early records of the Melvins and the first of FNM I find huge differences in terms of composition, sounds, and lyrics. Martin was a Metalhead, Buzzo a punk. And it’s not like those two things really get along musically speaking. Faith NO More formed in '81. Seattle at that time probably didn't even have running water, let alone a musical genre :D
