Fun Stuff > BAND
why won't chester bennington just die already?
jeney:
what's the deal? I didn't know this band still exsisted. If you dislike them so much, then stop watching mtv and listening to the radio?
heretic:
again. know of them because of sibling-music-taste deficiency. i don't watch TV except cartoons and i don't listen to the radio. are they even still on it?
sp2:
Two things:
A) Nirvana may sound trite now, but that's basically because tons of bands picked up on the alt-rock bandwagon after Nevermind hit it big. Yes, they pretty much ripped off the Pixies. They still managed to make a lot of good music, and are probably responsible for plenty of current alt-rock, post-grunge, and so forth. A lot of bands have obvious Nirvana influences, even bands you wouldn't expect it from, like Radiohead. You can't claim they suck just because they got overplayed on the radio. Corporate radio and MTV are for tools anyways.
B) As much as you or I would love it if Linkin Park ceased to exist, killing Bennington (or having him kill himself or die an accidental death) would only propel the band into greater stardom. What's the saying? Better to burn out than to fade away? Yeah. Let Linkin Park fade away.
Merkava:
Actually, Radiohead cites their early sound's influences on Pixies/My Bloody Valentine. Radiohead didn't have Nirvana influences. Any that they did have were quickly removed for the brilliant The Bends.
heretic:
while that may be the wiser choice, i feel like killing bennington would bring so much joy to so many of us audiofiles (audiophiles?) that it would be wrong to hold back. plus he's the worst part of the band. if they got rid of him i'd have a whole new tolerance for whatever formed afterwards and could give them 5 more years before offing another.
