To create a stupid group like Velvet Revolver solely for commercial reasons, with the same identical riffs for 20 years, you might as well just do nothing like Axl. The guitar lines of Slash aren’t even the same: in Appetite he showed a good dose of originality and taste. But now it's always the same old tired hard rock clichés. Anyway, the members of the new Guns come from completely different schools, like that of industrial, so they are absolutely not comparable to Slash or Izzy. In any case, Buckethead, that idiot who wears a container that used to hold chicken pieces as a hat: well, technically he’s infinitely superior to Slash, by a long shot. Watching him live is a show, unlike that greasy flaccid Slash. The fact that Velvet Revolver and Snakepit were so inferior means just one thing: AXL ROSE was 90 percent of Guns n Roses...

I agree

If the little genius who repeatedly voted 1, writing BLEACH (the title of Nirvana's first album) twice, thinks he’s being subversive and deeply hates this album he certainly has never listened to... well, he should know that AC/DC have been one of the biggest influences on Nirvana themselves and that Kurt Cobain considered Back In Black one of the greatest albums of all time. As much as we can argue for hours about the different purposes of the music of the former and the latter, their art certainly aligns through passion and dedication to what they did. There are plenty of crappy bands; let's not be critics of those who gave their all for music. Bleach? And I respond LET THERE BE ROCK!

No No No...the album deserves the highest marks because what the Bad Brains expressed on stage is nothing but the virginity of the Hardcore spirit: Anger, Madness, wickedness, and speed. This is also a special album, and the fact that they mixed reggae ballads not for commercial purposes but simply because it aligned with their roots makes them truly genuine. This is a real band.

In the end, it’s always the same story. The notes are always the same. The more years go by, the more the music played with conventional instruments becomes impoverished in ideas and vibrancy. There are Crossover, Grunge, Prog, Punk, Pop groups. In other words, clones of historical bands that, with their charge of innovation, created and simultaneously killed a musical genre for future generations of musicians. Everything sounds worn out and overdone. Music is almost dead. There is absolutely no glimmer of hope, except perhaps in Noise, which uses unconventional sounds and can enhance musical differentiation with noises from animals, machines, factories, children, up to creating a NEW soundscape. But it’s very difficult. Tom Verlaine truly has a unique style; the review, however, seems a bit pretentious to me, yet it’s probably sincere: a halfway mark in the rating.

I absolutely don't think they didn't know how to play; the pieces are simple and immediate, but structured in an intelligent and useful way for the purpose. You can say a thousand things, but does it really matter if they don't play 100 notes per second? We're still talking about a group that replaced the claustrophobic virtuosity that had taken over with a furious and incendiary component never seen before those times. Then came Misfits, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Hüsker Dü, Germs... and that's your problem :) haha

Scruffy and decidedly pedantic, an underground record for him has much more chance of aspiring to perfection because it's underground. Let's say it's a kind of reverse racism. The Beatles and Nirvana among all. Definitely insufficient ratings. I can understand that they may not be liked, but to say that Nirvana didn't create epochal albums of unique intensity seems downright ridiculous to me. The more the bands are from the 60s and 70s, the more chances they have of getting high ratings; the more there are vaneggi of 20 minutes, the more the work gains points. It seems he unconsciously boasts about his omniscience and tries to validate semi-obscure bands just to hear, *BRAVO LI CONOSCI, E SONO PURE MEGLIO DEI BEATLES*, the classic useless smug. Does he come from Jazz? And why hasn't he stayed there? Even when he wrote a semi-decent review of the Butthole Surfers, giving their masterpiece a 9, he ends up discussing the band with a semi-acid tone, as if they were just some bullshit group caught in who knows what momentary vision... Ohhh Scaruffi, retire.
