The story about waiting for Headbangers Ball and Slayer, etc and then the first video shown is Blind Melon, that spoke to my soul. I can remember that like it was yesterday.
Headbangers Ball used to pull crap like that all the time. You wait all week to see some different videos and then they play the same Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, etc ... videos they play multiple times a day anyway. The show is 3 hours once a week, and they filled half or more of that 3 hours with the same crap i could have seen any day of the week at any time of that day. I don't miss Headbangers Ball in the slightest. It was just a journey into frustration.
for sure. i liked the show, but would always record it and watch the next day, so i could fast forward. saturday night was for SNL and Kids in the Hall
Believe it or a not, a band I used to hate when I was a dumb kid was Slipknot. I thought it was some kind of juggalo/ICP type of band. Now they're half of what I listen to on a daily basis. I worship the ground they walk on.
For me it’s Bon Jovi not a fan. But I do like the song Runaway from the debut. Mainly for the awesome Tim Pierce (one of greatest session guitarists) solo.
@@1970borntorun Yep. That's because Images and Words and Awake are both masterpieces. More song based, but still with flashy playing. People always mention Scenes From A Memory, which is a fine concept album, but it doesn't move me like the other two. I can enjoy a lot of DT but I tend to gravitate towards the earlier stuff.
Mr. Mister is actually pretty cool. I enjoy Welcome To The Real World (which features Broken Wings, but also Is It Love and Kyrie, all excellent) in its entirety. Fun fact: The drummer for Mr. Mister was none other than Pat Mastelotto, who would later play on those last few (proper) King Crimson albums. Future topics? Concerts you've walked out of before completion, and the reasons why you walked out. It could be by an artist you love, or one you can't stand (I already know *one* concert Pete couldn't sit through, LOL!!!)
Utter sacrilege to many but I've never got Prince. I realise he's very talented and I've tried but I'm clearly missing something. Except When Doves Cry, which is a lovely song.
When his album came out I couldn't understand why people liked him. Still not into it. He was however a great guitarist and could have been the next hendrix but he wasted his talent on that wierd shit.
I quite enjoyed "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" by System of a Down. The music can be overly simplistic at times, but they did show creativity and vision on those albums.
@@crispyryce3585 Yes, it's strange he did not (even try to) understand one of the best lyrics from SOAD...that song for me is rather about aggression and (corrupting) power, ruthless politicans and super-rich. Yes, the song is from a male perspective, but money and power corrupts females just as males, it's not a true "masculinity" problem. (We're the regulators that deregulate We're the animators that de-animate We're the propagators of all genocide Burning through the world's resources Then we turn and hide)
The best part of these shows is the respect for other people's opinion. These guys are honest and don't put you down if you like or don't like certain bands. Much respect to Pete and the gang!
Blind Melon is one of the most underrated bands ever and they had greater songs than “No Rain”. Also Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots are amazing bands.
I would take Pearl Jam & Stone Temple Pilots over Nirvana every time. And tbh F**K Tool, System of a clown, Phish and Shrimp Biscuit although I liked Rollin' but just because Undertaker used it.
Totally agree, and I am 100% convinced the guy has not even listen to their entire albums, their self title album is great, Soup probably their best album, and Nico is also great
I absolutely can't stand Bon Jovi however... I've always loved his tune "Wanted Dead or Alive". I've never been a fan of the Rolling Stones either. I don't quite hate them but the only song that I love of theirs is "Paint it Black".
“Lola’ (One for the Road versión)The Kinks, “Terrapin Station”by The Grateful Dead, “ Sultans of Swing” by Dire Straits, “ Round and Round” by Ratt, “ One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer” by George Thorogood and The Destroyers, “ Seven Ways of Going” by Patti Smith Group, “Train in Vain” by The Clash...”Mr Make Believe”by Gene Simmons.
The Mr Mister album that broken wings is on is actually pretty good. There’s also “Is it love” which is good and another song called “don’t slow down” that is super-catchy. Should’ve been a single.
I agree. I love it, it's an '80s AOR masterpiece Uniform of Youth is great too and of course Broken Wings remains the haunting classic it is. Out of their four albums, it's definitely the best and their third Go On (1987) is pretty good too.
Larry Fleetwood yea it’s always been one of my guilty pleasures. Used to listen to it a lot. It’s got a charm to it for sure. I always thought Kyrie was one of the best songs of the decade. Another band from that era that had a surprisingly good sleeper album was Cutting Crew, with the album Broadcast.
"Welcome To the Real World" is a really good album and I totally agree with "Don't Slow Down". I will never understand how that song was not a Top 40 song. It had great hooks! Best song on that album.
No such thing as guilty pleasure in music. If u like it u like it. I like some old country and some folk and the odd pop song aswell even the odd rap song but not many. But I think gangsters paradise is a classic.
RANT-Songs You Love By Bands You Hate Ryan Skow - Grateful Dead - Uncle´s John Band 8:51 Nick Franco - Pantera - Cemetery Gates Chris Alo - Korn - Freak on a Leash Pete Pardo - Mister Mister - Broken Wings
U2: Thrill Me.. (the Batman song) Bon Jovi: Wanted Dead or Alive..(only because its great to play on the guitar) The Mission: Tower of Strength (ft. John Paul Jones)
Whammy Bard There is no denying their popularity, for people who aren't fans there's bound to be one song they like. U2 have all the ingredients but something doesn't get through to me
Hate is such a strong word, but here are a couple examples of songs I kinda like by bands I don't like: "I Put the Finger On You" AC/DC "You Don't Want Me Anymore" Steel Breeze "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Warrant "You're In Love" Ratt
I'll partake in the love/hate Hungry Like The Wolf - DURAN DURAN Move It On Over - GEORGE THOROGOOD When I Come Around - GREEN DAY It's My Life - BON JOVI
My college friend and the radio ruined me for Bob Seeger by overplaying his songs. Can't think of a one now that doesn't sound overwrought and tired. But I holy sh-t, I love "Main Street"!
Try his early albums if you haven't been ruined on them already. Lucifer, Long Song Coming, Get out of Denver, Leanin on my Dream, 2+2, Ramblin Gamblin' Man all kick ass.
My picks are : Seasons in the abyss (Slayer) The beautiful people (Marilyn Manson) Take a look around (Limp Bizkit) Freak on a leash (Korn) Hard to handle (The Black Crows)
THANK YOU for mentioning the John Corabi record from Motley Crue. It's the only album I've been able to listen to by them since high school. I think the music and production is leagues ahead of anything else they've done. Edit: the song "Uncle Jack" is genuinely disturbing and dark, not just for Motley Crue but more for metal in general.
All Hells Breaking Loose - KISS In Your Direction - Ratt Kill with Power - Manowar Cant Stand Losing - The Police Two Tickets to Paradise - Eddie Money Renegade - Styx Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran ** Man its hard to find tunes you like from Bands you Hate**
@@spaghetti.lee-69 - *Suite Madam Blue* was a staple on Rock & Album Rock stations back in the day. Give a listen. My opinion. It's better than *Renegade.* th-cam.com/video/SInH7BLVGRk/w-d-xo.html
Wow! All hells broken lose! Great choice, it's nice to see that somebody who doesn't like them actually tried to listen something different from I was made and Rock and roll all nite.
@@milomirmaksimovic3279 When they took the make up off I gave them a second chance. I admit I kinda licked Un-Masked & Lick it Up . I keep an open Mind.. I dont wanna dismiss anything until it proves suck.. I just find KISS to be more of A cartoon than A real Rock Band..Peace Milo , Be Safe---Spaghetti Lee, NY USA
Legend of a Mind - Moody Blues Lady - Styx Feelin' Stronger Everyday - Chicago Feeling That Way / Anytime - Journey Travelin' Man / Beautiful Loser - Bob Seger
All the bands you listed have way better songs in their catalog that you probably haven't listened to. Ignore the classic rock stations hits they play and dig deeper. Those bands are really talented and were pigeonholed over a couple of hits.
Pearl Jam information these guys might like: Long time guitarist Mike McCready have/had a UFO tribute band and has Michael Schenker as one of his biggest influences. The guys in the band was pretty young, political and cocky back in the day but people like Mike McCready or Stone Grossard seems like very mellow and nice guys today. Watch a later day interview with either.. Might change your minds a little bit about Pearl Jam. Also: Love this format of the show.
I also think Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament were solid with Mother Love Bone, but yeah, PJ has that first album which is ok and after that they're completely useless band.
Gee, Anton, you're right! There's just SO much to love about Pearl Jam! Could it it be the Marble-Mouth, off key Vocals of Eddie Vedder, or the boring, direction-less songs with no hooks, or the band members who are about as interesting as KISS on the Guitar/Bass/Drums? lol Or probably, it's just ME, and I actually have Music Standards and despise mediocrity.
Yep, PJ is a great band. I don't love all of their music, but they have enough songs that I love to make me a fan. Plus, they used to do those radio shows which were cool, and they always had cool fan club stuff. Idk how much of that they still do, but they are a rock band who has always treated their fans well, and I like a lot of their music.
@@kurtkluge1686 That's a good point and one of the reasons why I don't dislike them, even though I'm not a fan of most of their material and find Vedder cringy at times. GNR on the other hand...
U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive Boston - We're Ready (used to like the band but overplayed to the point of ear pain) re: Motley Crue, Poison, Guns & Roses - these bands have murdered classic rock FM in Baltimore/DC. No redeeming qualities whatsoever and never want to hear another note from them while I am alive.
There are a bunch of great Nirvana tunes. They just got overplayed. They were at least very much their own thing. When they came out it was great. I was happy to see Hair metal die. I loved Slayer and Guns and Roses as well. Say what you like they all ran their own race unlike so many PRODUCT bands. But everyone should like what they like. KYUSS were great as well IHMO. Much better than KISS and Iron Maiden even if those guys can play. There first two albums with Di Anno were good after that it was 12 year olds music and just more of same but lamer. Same with AC/DC. Great until Bon Scott died. Far less good afterwards!
@@vladdrakul7851 Nirvana took much more from metal than some people think. Kurt basically took some energy of punk, some noise and thrash metal and some freaking light acoustic Beatles, mixed it all and there you go. Everybody knows that Come As You Are is a borrowed riff but not enough prople know that Smells Like Teen Spirit is exact reversed riff played in the same rythmic pattern as Venom's Countess Bathory. Kurt was definitely aware of that song because he loved Slayer and Metallica (Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammet interview where he talks about meeting Kurt), both bands that were very inspired by Venom.
@@arsentoplak2635 True, so they did what all great artists do, take their influences and through their own character make something new. This is true for every artist I know who is good. From Mozart to the Beatles to Hendrix. They are still unique!
Is there any way I can hit the like button several times? Great rant. I can name a ton of hair, grunge, nu metal bands that have songs I dig a lot. I love the Bitter End by Sum41, the rest of their catalogue doesn’t do much for me. I love Def Leppard when Pete Willis was in the band; when Phil Collen joined, the party was over for me.
I was bored one day sitting around the barracks at naval air station Oceana and the Grateful Dead were playing so I decided to go see them because I had nothing else to do and I just remember about 16,000 people there when the contras started and I fell asleep and was basically alone in the arena when the show ended, lol. Slept through the entire concert.
I do admit I'm not a big fan of Warrant but do love their song "Uncle Tom's Cabin". I don't really like Starship (after the name "Jefferson" was dropped) but always liked "Sara" a lot.
@@NaughtyVampireGod I loved them when they were Jefferson Starship, when they became Starship in 1985 I lost interest in them, "Find Your Way Back" is a badass tune that should've been a much bigger hit.
I hated Pearl Jam in the 90s. Loathed them!! But around the year 2000, after hearing “Vitalogy” at a friend’s house, it clicked. I was shocked at how much I dug the album and now love everything they’ve done.
"Touch Of Gray"- The Grateful Dead " Learning To Fly "- Pink Floyd " Working Man"- Rush I don't hate these 3 bands but I really don't care for them. Tool, Phish and Nirvana I absolutely despise and have never found anything I like by them.
I love most of the stuff from the first three. But: Tool, didn't like/didn't dislike Phish, disliked from the beginning. Not hated , but there was nothing to draw me in. Nirvana, they had the good sense to go out on top. Assuming everyone was alive, they would have started putting out the exwife needs back alimony/ contractual obligation albums and wouldn't be nearly as popular as they still are.
The new Tool album has a very different atmosphere from their pre-10,000 Days work. I hate Tool, I loved pretty much the whole Fear Inoculum album. Incredible stuff.

@@christopherconard2831 Looking past the fact that Trey is an excellent guitarist, Phish is nothing more than a bunch of Grateful Dead wannabees.
Nick, you should check out Pantera's old catalogue from the 80's. Sounded completely different than they did in the 90's. Also, I'm sure you've heard the song Hooligan's Holiday from the John Corabi version of Motley Crue. It was huge in 1994. Lastly, listen to Pearl Jam's version of "Black" live and unplugged from MTV. It is incredible.
@@marionardechia1579 they are Nu Metal Post Grunge , some people prefer Real Metal . Korn is great at what they do , but I don't like them . Not everyone likes the same music
@@marionardechia1579 Nope, I completely agree with their comments on SOAD. They are probably the best band from the crappy nu-metal era, but they still stuck. They just suck slightly less than the rest.
I really like the Grateful Dead. In the 80’s I had all of their albums and went to their Wembley concert in 1989 (I think). I was used to the fact that live Dead was very different from the studio experience but was extremely disappointed that they didn’t play anything from In the Dark, which had been recently released and sold reasonably well in the UK.
1. I thought System of a Down was probably the most unique and interesting band that came out of the Nu-Metal genre. 2. I agree with Black being the best song by Pearl Jam, absolutely brilliant musically and lyrically. 3. Motley Crue sucks, they had a few good songs early on but I fucking hate that band lol 4. Def Leppard "High n' Dry" is a masterpiece
Another GREAT Hollywood Squares show that had me laughing and thinking at the same time. Chris’ System Of A Down story was hilarious. And I know I will quote “Like sandpaper to my ears” in music discussions with friends. Thanks to all four for an entertaining start to the day and especially to you, Pete, for keeping a positive feel to the SoT shows, even when it is about something that may be disliked. Looking forward to the next panel show!
System rules. But I'm easily 10 years younger than anyone on the panel. But to be honest every 45+ year old dude I know ABSOLUTELY HATES them so I'm not shocked. That said, one of the best band I've ever seen live, multiple times.
I'm 48 and have a weird relationship with nu metal. Love SOAD, Deftones and most of Korn and Disturbed. Some bands like Limp Bizkit, Saliva and most of Godsmack's songs you could tell would age like milk. I have still feel the resentment toward grunge/alt that Nick and Chris do. Can't stand Nirvana or Pearl Jam. Alice in Chains still not my thing. Soundgarden was the silver lining of grunge for me. STP tracks I either love or hate.
System is awesome. All their albums are very good. Toxicity is one of my favorite albums of all-time. I was in high school when it came out and listened to it non-stop.
@@corleth84 Very much so. I was never into new wave. I can appreciate how significant a band is to a genre, and why this band is so revered by many. Just because I respect them and their contribution doesn't mean I enjoy their music. I'm sure you have similar experiences. I know "Drive" is overplayed and some would prefer to never hear it again, but it's a timeless tune. That one was brilliant. Even the old video was cheesy, but good enough to hold my attention.
@@musicnerd8969 I was never (at the time) among the greatest fans of 'The Cars', but my surprise about your comment was that you only liked/loved one of their songs. I know a lot of people have a problem with Ric Ocasek's vocals, which is not an issue with 'Drive' (although he wrote it). To my point... you got to at least love one more...what about 'Misfit Kid'?
@@corleth84 The only album by the Cars I ever owned was Panorama--and I traded it in after listening to part of it. This is one of the songs that is representative of why I don't like the Cars. Now a lot of people do not like Ric Ocasek's voice, but that's not the deal with me. I do like Benjamin Orr's voice better. "Drive" was moody, clean, brooding and plaintive. If you like them, I think that's great. I always thought "Drive" was their one off--but it worked for me in a big way. It was just not enough for me to change my mind.
Was sitting waiting for someone too mention Sober, I have the exact same option of Tool I understand completely how huge that band is and how influential they still are and how there are fans and publications that claim they’ve never made a bad album but other than that one song I’ve just never been able too get into them ...
Trying to make of list of mine was pretty hard. Mainly because I'm just like Pete, if I hate an artist, I hate their music. However, I dug deep and found a few songs... Here's my list: "Talk Dirty To Me" - Poison "Photograph" - Nickelback "Say It Ain't So" - Weezer "Shiny Happy People" - REM I wonder if you guys are going to do the vice-versa of this subject: Songs you hate by bands you love.
My three: 1) *One - Metallica* (2 other songs I like are covers done by the band The Warning - Enter Sandman / Atlas Rise) 2) *Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana* (prefer "Weird Al" Yankovic's spoof version over Nirvana's version) 3) *Europe - Scream of Anger* (from the album *"Wings of Tomorrow")*
@@stephenbrown4211 - I liked Tori Amos version of *"Smells Like Teen Spirit* since I understand what Corbain was singing so I don't have to sing Al's version.
@ Yeah I can admit that. They follow a similar formula for most of their songs. But so do lots of the bands we love! Hell, most extreme metal sounds the same.
Dude has a really odd taste in music. I respect his love for his bands but it gets real annoying when he’s talking about some Norwegian Viking mythological band that no one knows. Idk man, maybe it’s just me, but I will never get into anything like that. Pantera, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Iron Maiden is as heavy as I’ll go and Queensryche is as mythological (or whatever you call it) I’ll go.
I'd love to see a rant along the lines of: "Songs that 'Ruin' otherwise 'Perfect' Albums". Basically albums you'd rate much higher if not for ONE shitty song.
5 songs I like from acts I don't care for: Stranglehold (Ted Nugent) Ridin' the Storm Out (REO Speedwagon) Cold as Ice (Foreigner) Every Rose Has Its Thorn (Poison) My Hero (Foo Fighters)
I'm with Ryan on the Def Leppard dislike. I just cannot stand them. As I once said to a Def Leppard fan mate - "I get up earlier in the morning so I can hate them longer!" Also, the general consensus on Grunge. Never got it but I think Nirvana's cover of Man Who Sold The World from Unplugged In New York might might make the list. REO Speedwagon, somebody once said the most interesting thing about them is their name, I don't dislike Jam Bands but never got the love for Grateful Dead. Always sounded like they were making it up as they went along - which they were I suppose. As for future rant's, I know Peter did a solo guilty pleasures but would be interesting if he could get Jeff and Martin for a roundtable. (And please can we have a deep cut dive for Uriah Heep). Tel
this is a tough question, i’d have trouble answering with more than one or two... “touch of gray” by The Grateful Dead...”from the cradle to enslaved” by Cradle of Filth
I actually think Stone Temple Pilots was one of the best bands from that era. Plush alone is such a masterpiece. I guess the choices I disagree with the most are Def Leppard and Pantera, only because the song choices are so similar to a lot of other songs those bands have done and I dont really understand what sets those ones apart. Its all a matter of opinion though. This is such a hard one because there aren't many bands that I actually *hate*, and the ones I do I don't have any songs I actually like from them... For some reason Anthrax is a band Ive never really been able to enjoy. I don't think they deserved to be in the big 4 actually, but I do love their song 'Got The Time'. I hate Ted Nugent but hes got some really good songs. Ill throw 'Stranglehold' in as my second choice as a song I love. Great groove and jamming on that one. Not a huge fan of Prince but I think 'Rasberry Beret' is a good song.
I agree. STP and AIC are the only bands from the grunge movement I can stomach. Agree about Anthrax. I actually don't like a lot of the bands these guys like. But I think they are interesting and knowledgeable people so I like to hear their stories. I'm not huge into Prince either but he was very popular when I was in high school and there's probably 4 or 5 of his tunes I think are pretty cool. Raspberry Beret being one of them.
The weird thing is that the guys here are all referring to MTV and KROC blasting Nirvana and Pearl Jam but it wasnt like that at all here in Ireland, us metal fans were just delighted to hear any sort of rock at all on radio or TV, we were delighted to have gigs to go to, we werent saturated with overplay. I consider myself a true metal fan. Grew up in a house in small town Ireland in the 70's and listened to older brothers and sisters LPs. Heard Sabbath, Zeppelin, Quo, Deep Purple, Yes etc etc for years and got in to NWOBHM and Thrash and little bit of Death and lots and lots and lots of Black Metal but I have no problem with Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Sound Garden and Stone Temple PIlots, I was in college back then and I listened to those bands and got shit-faced drunk with my friends and it was a great time. I understand that the early 90's killed a lot of 80's metal bands (to one degree or another) but I have nothing but good positive memories of all those early 90;s grunge bands!!
Examples I can think of artists I don't really care for or outright dislike, but have just one song I do really like: Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss System Of A Down - BYOB Dire Straits - Money For Nothing Supertramp - Cannonball Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down Misfits - Dig Up Her Bones Creed - My Sacrifice Stone Sour - Through Glass Helmet - Unsung The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Alter Bridge - Open Your Eyes Ted Nugent - Stranglehold Great White - Rock Me Kings X - Over My Head
Funny, i actually like at least a couple of album of all these bands (except Korn and shitty Limp Bizkit) Early Motley, early Def Leppard, early Pearl Jam, early System Of A Down, huge Pantera and Nirvana fan!
It got played to Hell, but I love "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison. Great lyrics and melody in that song, but everything else I've heard by Poison has been noise pollution.
Except not every rose has it's thorn, there are some varieties of thornless roses. Same as it doesn't always rain when it thunders. Those songs drive me nuts for those reasons. lol
Hate all these bands but like the following songs: Nickleback - Burn it to the Ground Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution Velvet Revolver - Dirty Little Thing Jane’s Addiction - Just Because Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
@@MrFrostien I love them and have loved them from the very first time I heard them- which doesn't happen very often with me. They are phenomenal musicians. But their music is not for everyone.
i never liked them until i heard their newest album. still not a big fan of the singers voice or any other album, but pneuma, fear innoculum and invincible are 3 amazing tracks.
I would have to list passable songs by bands or artists to whom I’m indifferent. Mariah Carey- All I Want For Christmas. Madonna- Holiday/ Borderline. Iron Maiden- Run To The Hills. Led Zeppelin- Rock and Roll. Pink Floyd- Money.
I saw GWAR around twenty years ago in London. At the end of the show I and another ten or so people exited the venue together, covered in all manner of colourful bodily excretions. Passing by was a group of nuns. Their expressions shall remain fixed in my memory forevermore.
I'll forever remember walking out in the november cold after a show and lighting a cig with a shit eating grin of the chaos I witnessed and already planning my next GWAR show.
I was probably at that show! I saw them in 1990 in London's Dome and every year after that. Although I kind of agree that their music fell way short; those first 4 shows, when they had incredible special effects including a baby being born out of the woman's belly, a sword slicing the head off a cop with a head like a pig and the cavemen with spiky cocks bigger than half their bodies gobbling up the remains and the giant dinosaur were mind-blowing. People would scream like banshees for the first 15 mis.-Some just in joy and others(1st-timers) in horror from being sprayed with gallons of blood, guts and brains. At that moment in time they were the most fun you could have at a Rock concert, regardless of the music.
Growing up, I did not like boys are back in town by thin lizzy, by throughout my history always found myself reading about them. Now I appreciate their music more. I F#$%ing hate Madonna, hate it, but I like I'll Remember, it's a good song. I guess if I dont like a band I don't like a band. This is a tough challenge. Ps I guess madonna is not a band. Or even good music.
Surprised at the STP hate by Nick Franco. Those guys were great! As for Motley, I'm not a big fan but they havea handful of songs I really enjoy. Here are some of my choices and I truly HATE these bands: Nirvana - Lithium U2 - With Or Without You The Doors - Roadhouse Blues Nelson - (I Can't Live Without) Your Love and Affection (??)
Mr. Mister are excellent Canadian Aor Prog and New Wave blend. Kyrie can get annoying to hear all the time but the rest of their catalog is worth digging into.
I moved to Portland in 1997 and the hard rock station played Limp Biscuit, KUFO was the first non criminal payola song. It was in the news that they had to pay for the play. KUFO also played mostly grunge bands and Tool, Creed, Nickleback type stuff. If they did play metal groups it was seldom and they insulted it by calling it butt rock. Butt rock my ass!
Muse - Knights Of Cydonia Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? The Cranberries - Dreams Stone Temple Pilots - Vaseline (and 'Sour Girl') Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot Sweet - Ballroom Blitz Grateful Dead - Dark Star Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
Zack Martin YES SOMEONE ELSE! I can’t stand U2. They are far and away my most hated band. They are so “pop-y”, just like all the other huge “rock bands” of now like Maroon 5 and Panic at the Disco and 21 Pilots 🤮🤮 I just don’t see why they’re so appealing. Their music is dull and more or less sounds the same
I always wondered why Wes Borland, the guitarist for Limp Bizkit always wore the gorilla suit and strange makeup, but I think I've figured it out. It was so nobody he knew would recognize him. I mean, if I was in Limp Bizkit, I'd hide my identity too. Only, I wouldn't give out my real name.
@Donovan Davis Oh okay. I'll have to check them out a little more. It would be easier if I didn' t have to listen to Fred Durst...lol Maybe they would have been a better band if they'd get rid of him.
Unfortunately most people only know Blind Melon for "No Rain". It wasn't until I heard their full albums, and saw concert footage, that I realized how good they were. Shannon Hoon had the voice, song writing talent and charisma, may he r.i.p. The whole band was really quite wonderful.
Being a traditional hard rocker I wasn’t really into theatrical, hair or speed metal bands so I will go with these popular 3. 1) Kiss - I Was Made For Loving You 2) Judas Priest - You Got Another Thing Coming 3) Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
Ryan Gioia I was a hard rock fan of of the first generations of bands from late 60s to mid 70s. By the time the second generation came around I was all metalled out. It was like I heard it all before and also were a bit to loud, heavy, extreme for me. Also didn’t like the leather, spikes, tough guy look. That’s not to mean Priest never had some great songs.
The only song I remember liking on Van Halen lll is Dirty Water Dog. I have not listened to that album since it came out over twenty years ago, and I remember hating the single Without You big time. I might have to give the album another listen .
Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff Godsmack- I Stand Alone Bring Me The Horizon- Throne Marilyn Manson- The Beautiful People Atreyu- Ravenous FFDP- Hard to See Lacuna Coil- Our Truth Nickelback- Savin Me Rammstein- Du Hast Periphery (amazing instrumental work but I can't stand the vocals)- Icarus Lives
Check this out. Two years ago my concert crew went to see Poison and Cheap Trick b/c they added Pop Evil. They pulled Pop Evil off of their European headlining tour to try and save Poison’s out door pavilion tour. The Pop Evil fans had the majority of the lower bowl at Cincy’s Riverbend. Cheap Trick was so awful, old, and painful that the first 28 rows of people walked out. Plus the only gave Pop Evil 30 minutes.
Great show guys! I never cared for Nickelback but to this day I think their first big hit, "How You Remind Me", is a fantastic song and I still turn it up when I hear it.
Pete will always have my respect. he never like hates on anyone’s opinion. seems like such a great guy to be friends with. I hope we get a part 2
I agree - Pete rules
On the deep cut dive, Pete's picks always rock !!!
Pete has my respect when he mentioned Nirvana(yuck). And Chris got my respect when he talked about liking the John Corabi album with Motley Crue.
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 Corabi album is best Crue album.
@ C Miller I totally agree with you.
The story about waiting for Headbangers Ball and Slayer, etc and then the first video shown is Blind Melon, that spoke to my soul. I can remember that like it was yesterday.
i remember a similar thought when Vixen came on HBB
Why was that ever played?
Headbangers Ball used to pull crap like that all the time. You wait all week to see some different videos and then they play the same Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, etc ... videos they play multiple times a day anyway. The show is 3 hours once a week, and they filled half or more of that 3 hours with the same crap i could have seen any day of the week at any time of that day.
I don't miss Headbangers Ball in the slightest. It was just a journey into frustration.
for sure. i liked the show, but would always record it and watch the next day, so i could fast forward. saturday night was for SNL and Kids in the Hall
Idea for a New rant show: Bands you hated at first but then you grew to love
Totally agree.
Or the other way. Bands you came to despise.
@@christopherconard2831 I think they might have done that..
Believe it or a not, a band I used to hate when I was a dumb kid was Slipknot. I thought it was some kind of juggalo/ICP type of band. Now they're half of what I listen to on a daily basis. I worship the ground they walk on.
@@christopherconard2831 so many bands i loved in the 90s /2000s : 3000 punk bands, System of a Down, most of the hair metal i loved in the 80s...
"I like to think it's true because it helps me hate them more". ROTFL!
"My hatred of System Of A Down could power a small city" 😆😆
@@Groteskfull your hated of System of a Down pales in comparison to my hatred of System of a Down
For me it’s Bon Jovi not a fan. But I do like the song Runaway from the debut. Mainly for the awesome Tim Pierce (one of greatest session guitarists) solo.
exactly. Runaway was great
Kill me, but I can`t stand Dream Theater. But I really dig the song "Pull me under"
No, that's valid. I know a lot of DT fans who think their early catalog is more interesting, and less "dry" and technical-sounding.
give "panic attack" a try. It's painkiller by judas priest meets rush meets metallica
@@1970borntorun Yep. That's because Images and Words and Awake are both masterpieces. More song based, but still with flashy playing. People always mention Scenes From A Memory, which is a fine concept album, but it doesn't move me like the other two. I can enjoy a lot of DT but I tend to gravitate towards the earlier stuff.
Odd...Pull Me Under?...their worst song
I am with you on Dream Theater. Cannot stand anything they ever did. They bore the crap out of me.
Mr. Mister is actually pretty cool. I enjoy Welcome To The Real World (which features Broken Wings, but also Is It Love and Kyrie, all excellent) in its entirety.
Fun fact: The drummer for Mr. Mister was none other than Pat Mastelotto, who would later play on those last few (proper) King Crimson albums.
Future topics? Concerts you've walked out of before completion, and the reasons why you walked out. It could be by an artist you love, or one you can't stand (I already know *one* concert Pete couldn't sit through, LOL!!!)
And the lead singer of Mister Mister (Richard Page) turned down chances to be the lead singer of Chicago and Toto, two of Pete's favorite bands!
Kyrie was og. Done by a late 60s band and was also based on a folk song.the name of the band escapes me
@@bubbadagger If that's true, I can't seem to find anything to confirm it. This is interesting.
@@knightvisioniixv ill see if i can find out.i know it is on a record i have somewhere
Utter sacrilege to many but I've never got Prince. I realise he's very talented and I've tried but I'm clearly missing something.
Except When Doves Cry, which is a lovely song.
When his album came out I couldn't understand why people liked him. Still not into it. He was however a great guitarist and could have been the next hendrix but he wasted his talent on that wierd shit.
Agree and understand some but certainly not Stone Temple Pilots. They have a Lot of songs I like and don't care what anyone thinks
STP rules. Period.
I quite enjoyed "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" by System of a Down. The music can be overly simplistic at times, but they did show creativity and vision on those albums.
Love those discs! And their others too.
I Love System , a different band from the normal bands
Toxicity is a masterwork when you finally understand SOAD's angle.
The song that dude was referring to is Cigaro. It's about Toxic masculinity which I'm pretty sure he suffers from in the first place.
@@crispyryce3585 Yes, it's strange he did not (even try to) understand one of the best lyrics from SOAD...that song for me is rather about aggression and (corrupting) power, ruthless politicans and super-rich. Yes, the song is from a male perspective, but money and power corrupts females just as males, it's not a true "masculinity" problem.

The only problem with this video was it being too short! Great stuff lads very enjoyable. None of your picks “offended” me so that was a bonus
Meat Loaf
Very good Rant as always. Next one: Musicians you respect in bands you hate.
I already think he's gonna choose slash from gnr
Johnny Marr of the Smiths
I think Pete will choose Dave Grohl from Nirvana ( sucks) and Foo Fighters ( sucks 2x).
Mark Tremonti
Tom Araya from Slayer. Although I'll say that I don't hate Slayer as much as I just hate Kerry King.
Way to go Pete!!! Keep the rant series going Great time - had 4 co-workers watching this on lunch break we all laughed our asses off!!!
The best part of these shows is the respect for other people's opinion. These guys are honest and don't put you down if you like or don't like certain bands. Much respect to Pete and the gang!
Blind Melon is one of the most underrated bands ever and they had greater songs than “No Rain”. Also Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots are amazing bands.
I would take Pearl Jam & Stone Temple Pilots over Nirvana every time. And tbh F**K Tool, System of a clown, Phish and Shrimp Biscuit although I liked Rollin' but just because Undertaker used it.
Very true. Soup by Blind Melon is one of my favourite albums ever.
I liked Blind Melon,too
Neo Hippies
P
JayTee77 SAME!
Totally agree, and I am 100% convinced the guy has not even listen to their entire albums, their self title album is great, Soup probably their best album, and Nico is also great
Please keep doing these type of vids. I love hearing the diversity of opinions. Great show,great group of funny personalities !
I absolutely can't stand Bon Jovi however... I've always loved his tune "Wanted Dead or Alive". I've never been a fan of the Rolling Stones either. I don't quite hate them but the only song that I love of theirs is "Paint it Black".
He also has one from Young Guns 2 that's good
Been brought up with the stones all my life
Kevin, same here! Paint it black is the only listenable one!
I share your dislike of Bon Jovi and the Rolling Stones. Maybe a couple songs are okay to me, that’s about it!
Took me a long time get into the Stones. But we can't like everything!
“Lola’ (One for the Road versión)The Kinks, “Terrapin Station”by The Grateful Dead, “ Sultans of Swing” by Dire Straits, “ Round and Round” by Ratt, “ One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer” by George Thorogood and The Destroyers, “ Seven Ways of Going” by Patti Smith Group, “Train in Vain” by The Clash...”Mr Make Believe”by Gene Simmons.
Agree with the Kinks and Dire Straits
The Kinks hate I don't get, they have like a million classic songs. Well, Ray's voice maybe. lol
The Mr Mister album that broken wings is on is actually pretty good. There’s also “Is it love” which is good and another song called “don’t slow down” that is super-catchy. Should’ve been a single.
I agree. I love it, it's an '80s AOR masterpiece Uniform of Youth is great too and of course Broken Wings remains the haunting classic it is. Out of their four albums, it's definitely the best and their third Go On (1987) is pretty good too.
Larry Fleetwood yea it’s always been one of my guilty pleasures. Used to listen to it a lot. It’s got a charm to it for sure. I always thought Kyrie was one of the best songs of the decade. Another band from that era that had a surprisingly good sleeper album was Cutting Crew, with the album Broadcast.
I like that album too, yes. A very good live band also, I remember their Full House gig on German TV in 1987, it may be on TH-cam.
"Welcome To the Real World" is a really good album and I totally agree with "Don't Slow Down". I will never understand how that song was not a Top 40 song. It had great hooks! Best song on that album.
‘Crazy Horses’ by The Osmonds
Check out the cover by The Meatmen
Starship Nothings Gonna Stop Us and a few of their other hits are a guilty pleasure of mine.
No such thing as guilty pleasure in music. If u like it u like it. I like some old country and some folk and the odd pop song aswell even the odd rap song but not many. But I think gangsters paradise is a classic.
I love Find Your Way Back.

- Mister Mister - Broken Wings
U2: Thrill Me.. (the Batman song)
Bon Jovi: Wanted Dead or Alive..(only because its great to play on the guitar)
The Mission: Tower of Strength (ft. John Paul Jones)
Interesting how U2 appears several times in this comment section, but never for the same song. Goes to show they actually are a great band.
Whammy Bard There is no denying their popularity, for people who aren't fans there's bound to be one song they like. U2 have all the ingredients but something doesn't get through to me
'Seasons in the Abyss' because it's the only melodic song Slayer ever made in my ears.
Hate is such a strong word, but here are a couple examples of songs I kinda like by bands I don't like:
"I Put the Finger On You" AC/DC
"You Don't Want Me Anymore" Steel Breeze
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" Warrant
"You're In Love" Ratt
I'll partake in the love/hate
Hungry Like The Wolf - DURAN DURAN
Move It On Over - GEORGE THOROGOOD
When I Come Around - GREEN DAY
It's My Life - BON JOVI
My college friend and the radio ruined me for Bob Seeger by overplaying his songs. Can't think of a one now that doesn't sound overwrought and tired.
But I holy sh-t, I love "Main Street"!
Try his early albums if you haven't been ruined on them already. Lucifer, Long Song Coming, Get out of Denver, Leanin on my Dream, 2+2, Ramblin Gamblin' Man all kick ass.
My picks are :
Seasons in the abyss (Slayer)
The beautiful people (Marilyn Manson)
Take a look around (Limp Bizkit)
Freak on a leash (Korn)
Hard to handle (The Black Crows)
THANK YOU for mentioning the John Corabi record from Motley Crue. It's the only album I've been able to listen to by them since high school. I think the music and production is leagues ahead of anything else they've done. Edit: the song "Uncle Jack" is genuinely disturbing and dark, not just for Motley Crue but more for metal in general.
And that album failed motley crue is my fav band but that album sucked

All the bands you listed have way better songs in their catalog that you probably haven't listened to. Ignore the classic rock stations hits they play and dig deeper. Those bands are really talented and were pigeonholed over a couple of hits.
Pearl Jam information these guys might like: Long time guitarist Mike McCready have/had a UFO tribute band and has Michael Schenker as one of his biggest influences. The guys in the band was pretty young, political and cocky back in the day but people like Mike McCready or Stone Grossard seems like very mellow and nice guys today. Watch a later day interview with either.. Might change your minds a little bit about Pearl Jam.
Also: Love this format of the show.
I also think Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament were solid with Mother Love Bone, but yeah, PJ has that first album which is ok and after that they're completely useless band.
No; they'll always suck
Gee, Anton, you're right! There's just SO much to love about Pearl Jam! Could it it be the Marble-Mouth, off key Vocals of Eddie Vedder, or the boring, direction-less songs with no hooks, or the band members who are about as interesting as KISS on the Guitar/Bass/Drums? lol Or probably, it's just ME, and I actually have Music Standards and despise mediocrity.
Yep, PJ is a great band. I don't love all of their music, but they have enough songs that I love to make me a fan. Plus, they used to do those radio shows which were cool, and they always had cool fan club stuff. Idk how much of that they still do, but they are a rock band who has always treated their fans well, and I like a lot of their music.
@@kurtkluge1686 That's a good point and one of the reasons why I don't dislike them, even though I'm not a fan of most of their material and find Vedder cringy at times. GNR on the other hand...
U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive
Boston - We're Ready (used to like the band but overplayed to the point of ear pain)
re: Motley Crue, Poison, Guns & Roses - these bands have murdered classic rock FM in Baltimore/DC. No redeeming qualities whatsoever and never want to hear another note from them while I am alive.
Nirvana - Come as You Are
That song is a total rip off of Killing Joke's 'Eighties' 😀
Lucha Libertaria and David Grohl payed them back by drumming on their 2003 album. Which is a killer album!
There are a bunch of great Nirvana tunes. They just got overplayed. They were at least very much their own thing. When they came out it was great. I was happy to see Hair metal die. I loved Slayer and Guns and Roses as well. Say what you like they all ran their own race unlike so many PRODUCT bands. But everyone should like what they like. KYUSS were great as well IHMO. Much better than KISS and Iron Maiden even if those guys can play. There first two albums with Di Anno were good after that it was 12 year olds music and just more of same but lamer. Same with AC/DC. Great until Bon Scott died. Far less good afterwards!
@@vladdrakul7851 Nirvana took much more from metal than some people think. Kurt basically took some energy of punk, some noise and thrash metal and some freaking light acoustic Beatles, mixed it all and there you go.
Everybody knows that Come As You Are is a borrowed riff but not enough prople know that Smells Like Teen Spirit is exact reversed riff played in the same rythmic pattern as Venom's Countess Bathory. Kurt was definitely aware of that song because he loved Slayer and Metallica (Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammet interview where he talks about meeting Kurt), both bands that were very inspired by Venom.
@@arsentoplak2635 True, so they did what all great artists do, take their influences and through their own character make something new. This is true for every artist I know who is good. From Mozart to the Beatles to Hendrix. They are still unique!
Is there any way I can hit the like button several times? Great rant. I can name a ton of hair, grunge, nu metal bands that have songs I dig a lot. I love the Bitter End by Sum41, the rest of their catalogue doesn’t do much for me. I love Def Leppard when Pete Willis was in the band; when Phil Collen joined, the party was over for me.
I have two bands I don’t really like, Kiss and Twisted Sister.
I was bored one day sitting around the barracks at naval air station Oceana and the Grateful Dead were playing so I decided to go see them because I had nothing else to do and I just remember about 16,000 people there when the contras started and I fell asleep and was basically alone in the arena when the show ended, lol. Slept through the entire concert.
sounds like a trip, brah . . . you know the kind of trip I mean . . I salute yer service of course, btw
I do admit I'm not a big fan of Warrant but do love their song "Uncle Tom's Cabin".
I don't really like Starship (after the name "Jefferson" was dropped) but always liked "Sara" a lot.
sara is good also miracles, jane, find yer way back
@@NaughtyVampireGod I loved them when they were Jefferson Starship, when they became Starship in 1985 I lost interest in them, "Find Your Way Back" is a badass tune that should've been a much bigger hit.
@@Doobie1975 yeah , starship = we built this city; and ya know the rest . . :-)
I hated Pearl Jam in the 90s. Loathed them!! But around the year 2000, after hearing “Vitalogy” at a friend’s house, it clicked. I was shocked at how much I dug the album and now love everything they’ve done.
"Touch Of Gray"- The Grateful Dead
" Learning To Fly "- Pink Floyd
" Working Man"- Rush
I don't hate these 3 bands but I really don't care for them. Tool, Phish and Nirvana I absolutely despise and have never found anything I like by them.
I love most of the stuff from the first three. But:
Tool, didn't like/didn't dislike
Phish, disliked from the beginning. Not hated , but there was nothing to draw me in.
Nirvana, they had the good sense to go out on top. Assuming everyone was alive, they would have started putting out the exwife needs back alimony/ contractual obligation albums and wouldn't be nearly as popular as they still are.
There is something seriously wrong with u. Maybe u should go get checked out to see if something is wrong with ur head
The new Tool album has a very different atmosphere from their pre-10,000 Days work.
I hate Tool, I loved pretty much the whole Fear Inoculum album. Incredible stuff.
@@christopherconard2831 Looking past the fact that Trey is an excellent guitarist, Phish is nothing more than a bunch of Grateful Dead wannabees.
@Josh Tyler How can u not like Rush ? Do u club baby seals in your spare time also ?
Nick, you should check out Pantera's old catalogue from the 80's. Sounded completely different than they did in the 90's. Also, I'm sure you've heard the song Hooligan's Holiday from the John Corabi version of Motley Crue. It was huge in 1994. Lastly, listen to Pearl Jam's version of "Black" live and unplugged from MTV. It is incredible.
This show was hilarious. I have to agree with almost all of them but have to admit that I really like System of A Down.
SOAD & Tool are great bands, it's sad to hear their stupid comments.
@@marionardechia1579 they are Nu Metal Post Grunge , some people prefer Real Metal . Korn is great at what they do , but I don't like them . Not everyone likes the same music
@@marionardechia1579 Nope, I completely agree with their comments on SOAD. They are probably the best band from the crappy nu-metal era, but they still stuck. They just suck slightly less than the rest.
I really like the Grateful Dead. In the 80’s I had all of their albums and went to their Wembley concert in 1989 (I think). I was used to the fact that live Dead was very different from the studio experience but was extremely disappointed that they didn’t play anything from In the Dark, which had been recently released and sold reasonably well in the UK.
1. I thought System of a Down was probably the most unique and interesting band that came out of the Nu-Metal genre.
2. I agree with Black being the best song by Pearl Jam, absolutely brilliant musically and lyrically.
3. Motley Crue sucks, they had a few good songs early on but I fucking hate that band lol
4. Def Leppard "High n' Dry" is a masterpiece
Another GREAT Hollywood Squares show that had me laughing and thinking at the same time. Chris’ System Of A Down story was hilarious. And I know I will quote “Like sandpaper to my ears” in music discussions with friends. Thanks to all four for an entertaining start to the day and especially to you, Pete, for keeping a positive feel to the SoT shows, even when it is about something that may be disliked. Looking forward to the next panel show!
System rules. But I'm easily 10 years younger than anyone on the panel. But to be honest every 45+ year old dude I know ABSOLUTELY HATES them so I'm not shocked.
That said, one of the best band I've ever seen live, multiple times.
Love System! They need to come back!
I'm 48 and have a weird relationship with nu metal. Love SOAD, Deftones and most of Korn and Disturbed. Some bands like Limp Bizkit, Saliva and most of Godsmack's songs you could tell would age like milk. I have still feel the resentment toward grunge/alt that Nick and Chris do. Can't stand Nirvana or Pearl Jam. Alice in Chains still not my thing. Soundgarden was the silver lining of grunge for me. STP tracks I either love or hate.
Toxicity is great
System is awesome. All their albums are very good. Toxicity is one of my favorite albums of all-time. I was in high school when it came out and listened to it non-stop.
@@bubbadagger The Debut album is still my favorite. Just because the last 15mins or so is so doomy and out of control.
This roundtables discussion was an absolute blast to listen to! 😂👍👏👏 The four of you, job well done!
1. Bon Jovi - Wanted, Dead or Alive
2. Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore
3. The Cars - Drive
Are you sure about 'The cars'?
@@corleth84 Very much so. I was never into new wave. I can appreciate how significant a band is to a genre, and why this band is so revered by many. Just because I respect them and their contribution doesn't mean I enjoy their music. I'm sure you have similar experiences. I know "Drive" is overplayed and some would prefer to never hear it again, but it's a timeless tune. That one was brilliant. Even the old video was cheesy, but good enough to hold my attention.
@@musicnerd8969 I was never (at the time) among the greatest fans of 'The Cars', but my surprise about your comment was that you only liked/loved one of their songs. I know a lot of people have a problem with Ric Ocasek's vocals, which is not an issue with 'Drive' (although he wrote it). To my point... you got to at least love one more...what about 'Misfit Kid'?
@@corleth84 The only album by the Cars I ever owned was Panorama--and I traded it in after listening to part of it. This is one of the songs that is representative of why I don't like the Cars. Now a lot of people do not like Ric Ocasek's voice, but that's not the deal with me. I do like Benjamin Orr's voice better. "Drive" was moody, clean, brooding and plaintive. If you like them, I think that's great. I always thought "Drive" was their one off--but it worked for me in a big way. It was just not enough for me to change my mind.
Was sitting waiting for someone too mention Sober, I have the exact same option of Tool I understand completely how huge that band is and how influential they still are and how there are fans and publications that claim they’ve never made a bad album but other than that one song I’ve just never been able too get into them ...
I don't hate bands or musicians. I love at least one song from every musician and band!!🎤🎸🎵🥁
Exactly. I am a believer that 99% of musical artists can strike lightning in a bottle with at least one good song.
Trying to make of list of mine was pretty hard. Mainly because I'm just like Pete, if I hate an artist, I hate their music. However, I dug deep and found a few songs...
Here's my list:
"Talk Dirty To Me" - Poison
"Photograph" - Nickelback
"Say It Ain't So" - Weezer
"Shiny Happy People" - REM
I wonder if you guys are going to do the vice-versa of this subject: Songs you hate by bands you love.
Wanted Dead Or Alive- Bon Jovi
My two songs from Bon Jovi is *Tokyo Road* & *Runaway.* You can keep the rest.
@@kevinthetruckdriver353 don't forget "Dry County"
My three:
1) *One - Metallica* (2 other songs I like are covers done by the band The Warning - Enter Sandman / Atlas Rise)
2) *Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana* (prefer "Weird Al" Yankovic's spoof version over Nirvana's version)
3) *Europe - Scream of Anger* (from the album *"Wings of Tomorrow")*
Listen to Teen Spirit by Rocking 1000. Its the only way I can listen to this song. 1000 musicians in a stadium in Italy.
@@stephenbrown4211 - I liked Tori Amos version of *"Smells Like Teen Spirit* since I understand what Corbain was singing so I don't have to sing Al's version.
Nick saying he doesn’t like Pantera that one hurt
Lol I’m still trying to figure that out
@@jonlate4581 He probably doesn't care for a band whose songs all sound the same (despite how great a guitarist Dimebag was). You're welcome.
@ Yeah I can admit that. They follow a similar formula for most of their songs. But so do lots of the bands we love! Hell, most extreme metal sounds the same.
Dude has a really odd taste in music. I respect his love for his bands but it gets real annoying when he’s talking about some Norwegian Viking mythological band that no one knows. Idk man, maybe it’s just me, but I will never get into anything like that. Pantera, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, Iron Maiden is as heavy as I’ll go and Queensryche is as mythological (or whatever you call it) I’ll go.
@@EthanC_09 I find a lot of the lyrics very cringey too. Almost Deicide level shit.
"Tonight" from Seether
"My Tourniquet" from Evanescence
"Side of a Bullet" from Nickelback
"The Devil in Disguise" from Elvis
I'd love to see a rant along the lines of: "Songs that 'Ruin' otherwise 'Perfect' Albums". Basically albums you'd rate much higher if not for ONE shitty song.
5 songs I like from acts I don't care for:
Stranglehold (Ted Nugent)
Ridin' the Storm Out (REO Speedwagon)
Cold as Ice (Foreigner)
Every Rose Has Its Thorn (Poison)
My Hero (Foo Fighters)
I'm with Ryan on the Def Leppard dislike. I just cannot stand them. As I once said to a Def Leppard fan mate - "I get up earlier in the morning so I can hate them longer!"
Also, the general consensus on Grunge. Never got it but I think Nirvana's cover of Man Who Sold The World from Unplugged In New York might might make the list.
REO Speedwagon, somebody once said the most interesting thing about them is their name,
I don't dislike Jam Bands but never got the love for Grateful Dead. Always sounded like they were making it up as they went along - which they were I suppose.
As for future rant's, I know Peter did a solo guilty pleasures but would be interesting if he could get Jeff and Martin for a roundtable.
(And please can we have a deep cut dive for Uriah Heep).
Tel
at least grunge still soloed, had a touch of metal... meanwhile i hated “post-grunge” & “nu metal”
I’ll have to steal your line.
this is a tough question, i’d have trouble answering with more than one or two...
“touch of gray” by The Grateful Dead...”from the cradle to enslaved” by Cradle of Filth
I actually think Stone Temple Pilots was one of the best bands from that era. Plush alone is such a masterpiece. I guess the choices I disagree with the most are Def Leppard and Pantera, only because the song choices are so similar to a lot of other songs those bands have done and I dont really understand what sets those ones apart. Its all a matter of opinion though.
This is such a hard one because there aren't many bands that I actually *hate*, and the ones I do I don't have any songs I actually like from them... For some reason Anthrax is a band Ive never really been able to enjoy. I don't think they deserved to be in the big 4 actually, but I do love their song 'Got The Time'. I hate Ted Nugent but hes got some really good songs. Ill throw 'Stranglehold' in as my second choice as a song I love. Great groove and jamming on that one. Not a huge fan of Prince but I think 'Rasberry Beret' is a good song.
Funny thing about Got the time by Anthrax that's a cover of Joe Jackson
I agree. STP and AIC are the only bands from the grunge movement I can stomach. Agree about Anthrax. I actually don't like a lot of the bands these guys like. But I think they are interesting and knowledgeable people so I like to hear their stories. I'm not huge into Prince either but he was very popular when I was in high school and there's probably 4 or 5 of his tunes I think are pretty cool. Raspberry Beret being one of them.
The weird thing is that the guys here are all referring to MTV and KROC blasting Nirvana and Pearl Jam but it wasnt like that at all here in Ireland, us metal fans were just delighted to hear any sort of rock at all on radio or TV, we were delighted to have gigs to go to, we werent saturated with overplay.
I consider myself a true metal fan. Grew up in a house in small town Ireland in the 70's and listened to older brothers and sisters LPs. Heard Sabbath, Zeppelin, Quo, Deep Purple, Yes etc etc for years and got in to NWOBHM and Thrash and little bit of Death and lots and lots and lots of Black Metal but I have no problem with Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Sound Garden and Stone Temple PIlots, I was in college back then and I listened to those bands and got shit-faced drunk with my friends and it was a great time.
I understand that the early 90's killed a lot of 80's metal bands (to one degree or another) but I have nothing but good positive memories of all those early 90;s grunge bands!!
Examples I can think of artists I don't really care for or outright dislike, but have just one song I do really like:
Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss
System Of A Down - BYOB
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Supertramp - Cannonball
Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down
Misfits - Dig Up Her Bones
Creed - My Sacrifice
Stone Sour - Through Glass
Helmet - Unsung
The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Alter Bridge - Open Your Eyes
Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
Great White - Rock Me
Kings X - Over My Head
This was a great one. Really entertaining.
Man, normally on board with these but after the hate on Pantera and Korn I had to tune out :) Music is subjective and to each his own. Cheers
The B-52s: Roam Skillet: Hero Ramones: Rockaway Beach
Roam is a cool song.
b52s debut is great
Funny, i actually like at least a couple of album of all these bands (except Korn and shitty Limp Bizkit)
Early Motley, early Def Leppard, early Pearl Jam, early System Of A Down, huge Pantera and Nirvana fan!
Shrimp Biscuit lol
I love korn
It's My Life: Bon Jovi / What's Goin' On: Zebrahead / Aqualung: Jethro Tull
"It's My Life" ? Brave choice
@@notabillyjoelfan not as brave as nookie
"How Soon is Now" by The Smiths
"Crash Into Me" by Dave Matthews Band
"Frozen" by Madonna
It got played to Hell, but I love "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison. Great lyrics and melody in that song, but everything else I've heard by Poison has been noise pollution.
I always liked Talk Dirty to Me
Except not every rose has it's thorn, there are some varieties of thornless roses. Same as it doesn't always rain when it thunders. Those songs drive me nuts for those reasons. lol
I have a soft spot for I Won't Forget You
Hate all these bands but like the following songs:
Nickleback - Burn it to the Ground
Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution
Velvet Revolver - Dirty Little Thing
Jane’s Addiction - Just Because
Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
I’m with Nick. Do not get the deal with Tool at all.
Me too. I dont know why people love them so much
@@MrFrostien I love them and have loved them from the very first time I heard them- which doesn't happen very often with me. They are phenomenal musicians. But their music is not for everyone.
i never liked them until i heard their newest album. still not a big fan of the singers voice or any other album, but pneuma, fear innoculum and invincible are 3 amazing tracks.
@Bud Green the old tool turned me off to them. yawn* fart
I would have to list passable songs by bands or artists to whom I’m indifferent. Mariah Carey- All I Want For Christmas. Madonna- Holiday/ Borderline. Iron Maiden- Run To The Hills. Led Zeppelin- Rock and Roll. Pink Floyd- Money.
I saw GWAR around twenty years ago in London. At the end of the show I and another ten or so people exited the venue together, covered in all manner of colourful bodily excretions. Passing by was a group of nuns. Their expressions shall remain fixed in my memory forevermore.
I'll forever remember walking out in the november cold after a show and lighting a cig with a shit eating grin of the chaos I witnessed and already planning my next GWAR show.
I was probably at that show! I saw them in 1990 in London's Dome and every year after that. Although I kind of agree that their music fell way short; those first 4 shows, when they had incredible special effects including a baby being born out of the woman's belly, a sword slicing the head off a cop with a head like a pig and the cavemen with spiky cocks bigger than half their bodies gobbling up the remains and the giant dinosaur were mind-blowing. People would scream like banshees for the first 15 mis.-Some just in joy and others(1st-timers) in horror from being sprayed with gallons of blood, guts and brains. At that moment in time they were the most fun you could have at a Rock concert, regardless of the music.
@@eardamagehistory It was at the Astoria 2 on Charing Cross Road.
1. Nickleback - Burn it to the Ground
2. Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun (sorry, never digged any of their other stuff)
3. Limp Bizkit - Nookie
Growing up, I did not like boys are back in town by thin lizzy, by throughout my history always found myself reading about them. Now I appreciate their music more. I
F#$%ing hate Madonna, hate it, but I like I'll Remember, it's a good song. I guess if I dont like a band I don't like a band. This is a tough challenge.
Ps I guess madonna is not a band. Or even good music.
Surprised at the STP hate by Nick Franco. Those guys were great! As for Motley, I'm not a big fan but they havea handful of songs I really enjoy. Here are some of my choices and I truly HATE these bands:
Nirvana - Lithium
U2 - With Or Without You
The Doors - Roadhouse Blues
Nelson - (I Can't Live Without) Your Love and Affection (??)
How can you seriously hate Kyrie by Mr. Mister?
I love them too but not really into that song either, it's okay but I prefer their rockier or more moody and atmospheric songs.
Its a great song
Oasis: Wonderwall
Nickelback: Leader of Men
Shinedown: Monsters
Styx: Renegade
'Is It Love' is a song a absolutely love by Mr. Mister. Also Blind Melons 'Soup' album is great.
Soup is God awful
kevin kelsall No, Soup is amazing
@@MusicFun-gd1cm I'll listen to it again but I just remember thinking "what the hell is this" their first is a classic
Mr. Mister are excellent Canadian Aor Prog and New Wave blend. Kyrie can get annoying to hear all the time but the rest of their catalog is worth digging into.
I agree, they're American though.
I moved to Portland in 1997 and the hard rock station played Limp Biscuit, KUFO was the first non criminal payola song. It was in the news that they had to pay for the play. KUFO also played mostly grunge bands and Tool, Creed, Nickleback type stuff. If they did play metal groups it was seldom and they insulted it by calling it butt rock. Butt rock my ass!
I hate Air Supply but I love "Making Love Out of Nothing at All." lol
Hate that. Every time they came on I wanted to break the radio or tv. Same as REO
What ? I play air supply in the shower haha
Sammy Hagar - " I cant drive 55"
Bob Seger - "Ole Time Rock n Roll"
Autograph - "Turn up The Radio"
Ram Jam - "Black Betty"
Ratt - "Round & Round"
Ratt is a killer group. Those first 3 albums had some great songwriting.
you dont exactly seem like a 80s guy, do ya?
Can you get more of chris Aloe ( sorry for butchering that)talking about stuff he hates , hes hilarious
Muse - Knights Of Cydonia
Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?
The Cranberries - Dreams
Stone Temple Pilots - Vaseline (and 'Sour Girl')
Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict A Riot
Sweet - Ballroom Blitz
Grateful Dead - Dark Star
Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
Night Songs - Cinderella.
Not a big fan of the whole Brian Johnson style singing, but enjoy the super cool heavy slide guitar.
Another worthy one would be “Sunday Bloody Sunday” by the fucking bane of my existence - U2.
I think you mean "Night Songs" ... title track on their first record.
Mike N I had a feeling it wasn’t Night Moves haha
Zack Martin YES SOMEONE ELSE! I can’t stand U2. They are far and away my most hated band. They are so “pop-y”, just like all the other huge “rock bands” of now like Maroon 5 and Panic at the Disco and 21 Pilots 🤮🤮 I just don’t see why they’re so appealing. Their music is dull and more or less sounds the same
I always wondered why Wes Borland, the guitarist for Limp Bizkit always wore the gorilla suit and strange makeup, but I think I've figured it out. It was so nobody he knew would recognize him. I mean, if I was in Limp Bizkit, I'd hide my identity too. Only, I wouldn't give out my real name.
@Donovan Davis Wes Borland was the only good one in Limp Bizkit.
@Donovan Davis Oh okay. I'll have to check them out a little more. It would be easier if I didn' t have to listen to Fred Durst...lol Maybe they would have been a better band if they'd get rid of him.
"No Rain" is probably the weakest track on that album, which is actually pretty rockin
Yes indeed, love me some Blind Melon
Nico is a great album too. Soup is pretty good too.
Unfortunately most people only know Blind Melon for "No Rain". It wasn't until I heard their full albums, and saw concert footage, that I realized how good they were. Shannon Hoon had the voice, song writing talent and charisma, may he r.i.p. The whole band was really quite wonderful.
1. Goodbye Stranger- Supertramp; 2. Save a Prayer- Duran Duran; 3. Sour Girl- Stone Temple Pilots
Being a traditional hard rocker I wasn’t really into theatrical, hair or speed metal bands so I will go with these popular 3.
1) Kiss - I Was Made For Loving You
2) Judas Priest - You Got Another Thing Coming
3) Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
I can understand why you chose Kiss and Megadeth (even though I like them), but why Judas Priest?
Ryan Gioia I was a hard rock fan of of the first generations of bands from late 60s to mid 70s. By the time the second generation came around I was all metalled out. It was like I heard it all before and also were a bit to loud, heavy, extreme for me. Also didn’t like the leather, spikes, tough guy look. That’s not to mean Priest never had some great songs.
Desert Plains would be my Priest song. I kind of like them, but the music does get tiring. To me, rock will never get boring.
Yeah I’m with you guys. I can’t even think of one song by System of a Down that I wouldn’t rather rip my ear drums out rather than listen to.
Now you need to record a video called: "Rant - Albums everybody hates but I love"!
My pick would be the infamous Van Halen III! :)
Albums I love but Pete hates: The Final Cut.
I love VH3.
The only song I remember liking on Van Halen lll is Dirty Water Dog. I have not listened to that album since it came out over twenty years ago, and I remember hating the single Without You big time. I might have to give the album another listen .
@@johnkatsoudas4767 It's probably shitty, but I was young and starting to learn about music. So the thing has a lot of sentimental value to me.
i've only digested 1 song from VH3 so far, but i like it (How Many Say I). it's a very unique, quirky song
Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff
Godsmack- I Stand Alone
Bring Me The Horizon- Throne
Marilyn Manson- The Beautiful People
Atreyu- Ravenous
FFDP- Hard to See
Lacuna Coil- Our Truth
Nickelback- Savin Me
Rammstein- Du Hast
Periphery (amazing instrumental work but I can't stand the vocals)- Icarus Lives
Break Stuff will always mean so much to the generation I grew up with. It's like our national anthem.
I'm on the Korn hating wagon as well.
1) "Some Kind of Wonderful" - Grand Funk Railroad
2) "Here to Stay" - Korn
3) "Fly Like an Eagle" - Steve Miller Band
Here To Stay is great for when you're in the mood for something twisted and unsettling. That song is a snarling beast.
Chris is awesome. Great show, guys
Widowmaker by Pantera (1983).
One Little Victory by Rush (2002).
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me by U2 (1995).
Pete, Thanks. I've also always hated Mutley Crud. Still hate Poison more.
Check this out. Two years ago my concert crew went to see Poison and Cheap Trick b/c they added Pop Evil. They pulled Pop Evil off of their European headlining tour to try and save Poison’s out door pavilion tour. The Pop Evil fans had the majority of the lower bowl at Cincy’s Riverbend. Cheap Trick was so awful, old, and painful that the first 28 rows of people walked out. Plus the only gave Pop Evil 30 minutes.
Breed- Nirvana, Little Fighter- White Lion, State of Love and Trust- Pearl Jam, Sober- Tool and Seven Days Over You- Poison
I can't stand Motley Crue, but kickstart my heart is a pretty great tune.
Wild side got a sick riff tho
It does, but that ending to kickstart gets me every time.
Great show guys! I never cared for Nickelback but to this day I think their first big hit, "How You Remind Me", is a fantastic song and I still turn it up when I hear it.
