Cantrell loved Van Halen's skel, and in facelift you can hear it (not too much, but you can hear it)...

Well done, beautiful analysis, at times highly lucid, at times a bit less so...
Don't worry about the criticisms; for many, the association of Nirvana and Guns will send shivers down their spines. In reality, there’s much more than one reason to link them, and to connect the grunge scene with the early Guns from Appetite... but many prefer to read the same old banal stuff from some dime-a-dozen critic!
Just to give an example, ask Cantrell and the gang what their musical and guitar tastes were, or ask Nirvana how it feels to essentially become the flagship band of heavy rotation on MTV (a bit like who?)...

Hi DOn...always a pleasure to read you...finished wandering around Europe?

I'll explain it to you again because you're more obtuse than expected: I will keep writing as long as I feel like it, because I don’t give a damn about what you think, and I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else. And for the record, I’m not answering you, I’m just mocking you! Just to make you look even more like the imbecile you are. Anyway, you’re a bore as a fake...you’ve pissed me off, so I think I’ll start ignoring you...Adios maricon...

Miraggio, I respond to you only because I’m a well-mannered person. Start making peace with your brain and with Italian; first you tell me that I’m right to ignore you, and then you say that I fall for your provocations. Whatever, anyway... I continue to assert that they should ignore the idiots; they seem to constitute the main target... I watched the episode, believe it or not: I found it boring, just a little better than the one about lice; unlike you, I talk about what I know. As for the rest, you’re not provoking me more than a yawn...

Look, mirage, I couldn't care less about what you think of me or South Park... you just keep on searching for the social messages in South Park that will change the world! "And anyway, South Park isn't trying to make you laugh; South Park says we live in a shitty world and that we have the means to improve it." They'd do better to just not give a damn instead; judging by your comments, that’s the target... Say hi to trombino and pompadour for me.
P.S. Underdeveloped, posting a link doesn’t prove anything: if you want, I can post the brilliant contributions of Hankey, trombino, and co., or one of the many useless and boring characters that populate your nighttime sessions of self-indulgence...

I can understand that some people like it, but, if you don't mind, I watch a cartoon (for adults) because I want to have a good laugh; I couldn't care less about the social message: if it's there, fine, but if that message doesn't spark a healthy laugh, bitter or not, then the cartoon won't blow my mind. "And anyway, South Park isn't trying to make you laugh, South Park says we live in a shitty world and we have the means to improve it": estiquatzi, thank goodness it's a cartoon for intelligent people... and anyway, the first two seasons of The Griffin are the worst; from the third season onwards, it's a blast, full of satire, but the message is conveyed differently. I mentioned Mr. Hankey because he's the first one that came to mind: between the professor, the psychologist, Chef, all the kids except Cartman, it’s not just about who the worst character is. Cartman is South Park. Period. With his little Hitler mustache, or when he tells Kenny, "And you, Kenny, you starving kid, buy me the super mega macho yellow, it costs only $12," that's what makes the show (even on a social level, since you’re interested).

Everything you want is fine, but if the real character is inserted in the same way Angelina Jolie was (ridiculous episode, dramatic parody that had nothing comedic about it, centered on the story of a small population of lice, with an ending "in Jolie's pubic hair"), then I prefer how the Griffins mistreat their guest stars (from Jesus Christ to Wile E. Coyote to Bugs Bunny to Walt Disney, etc... even the Griffins are full of guest stars).

Absolutely, I agree... I was thinking of the first 10 roughly... but in my opinion, the Griffins have brilliant moments and, above all, rather than just smiling, they often make you laugh out loud...
Anyway, hats off to Groening and also to MacFarlane... I'm sorry, but I just can't stand South Park... Can someone recommend some good episodes? I've seen quite a few scattered ones, maybe I'll change my mind (even though the impression that Cartman is the only noteworthy character won't leave me).

The Griffins are so terrible that the Simpsons ended up copying their gags, and they're not even managing to be that incisive... The first ten seasons of the Simpsons are deadly, but American Dad and the Griffins are growing exponentially, and gags like the skillful car salesman (in American Dad) or the abilities of Jesus or the parody of hunting Bugs Bunny (in the Griffins) are little masterpieces of animation and comedy! South Park is solely and exclusively Cartman (deadly), but if there are those who enjoy Mr. Hankey or a thousand other characters, one more debased than the other, so be it...
