Any power metal band newer than, let's say, 1998. (Seriously, I've heard enough castrated men singing about dragons)

Any band that is best known as "that band with the chick _insert instrument here_"   Seriously.  A woman playing an instrument isn't a reason to get a woody for some crappy band.

Ska bands, in general.  Okay, it was cute back when a couple punk bands decided to play some Bob Marley, but now it's just out of goddamn control.

Any band that sounds like a cheap knockoff of Nirvana, or Pearl Jam.  You're not necessary.  We had all the mumbly, drug-addled longhairs we needed in 1993.  Yes, I'm talking to you Mudvayne.

Cover bands.  Sorry, but I don't need to hear some idiot's version of "Michelle" when I could just go buy the CD, give Michael Jackson his money and listen to the real version.  Write some of your own shit you talentless hacks.

Metal bands without a sense of humor.  I'm not kidding here, I'm sick of super-srs metal bands.  You play a style of music that hasn't really been too popular for 20 years.  y so srs?

There are others, but I can't be fucked to care enough.

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

Any band whose members' sex tapes and/or Playgirl layouts reveal them to be better endowed than I am. Seriously man, that pisses me off. These guys are in bands -- they could be hung like Bilbo Baggins and still get laid. So why do they need humongous yogurt cannons to boot? Pure greed, that's why.

I got Guitar Hero: World Tour today and I'm really disappointed at the amount of shitty songs and/or indiefuck bands that found their way into the game. See: Oasis, Interpol, Silversun Pickups, Modest Mouse, Filter, the unplugged version of About A Girl by Nirvana, and etc. and etc. and etc.Seriously Activision, give us fucking Stairway and Smells Like Teen Spirit already.

Do you realize how much the royalties are for Stairway To Heaven? Even Cameron Crowe who is a personal friend of the band was unable to secure the rights to the song for Almost Famous.

And she's buying the rights for a Stairway...

Also, My Chemical Romance's new single is a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Desolation Row', and so they must die. Quite painfully.

I has a flavor!

Speaking of Tool. A freind of mine used to be a big fan of Tool. He bought their albums, had the shirts etc etc.

A few years back Tool had a concert in Cleveland and my friend happily shelled out the dough to go see these greedy pricks. Imagine his surprise when he found out that the floor section, i.e. the 'Pit' was only available to Tool Fan Club members. If you weren't a fan club member, you were relegated to regular seating and thus were unable to get close to the stage or mosh it up in the pit. (dude lived for moshing...)

That's pretty shitty. Its wasn't enough that my friend bought all their albums and their crappy merch. It wasn't enough that he went to all their shows. He didn't pay to join their fan club and therefore, for this show at least, he was a second class citizen. Penalized for not spending the extra cash for a fucking newsletter and a membership card.

I can understand the concept of rewarding those who coughed up the dough to be an 'official' fan, but not at the expense of all your other fans who have certainly spent the hard earned money on your music/merch. There were about a thousand different things Tool could've done to reward fan clubbers, and all of them would've been better than barring non members from the pit.

Fuck Tool.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

Bilbo Baggins used to be a hero of mine. Now Leonard Nimoy has burned all such admiration from my heart, along with any admiration for Spock.

DAMN YOU, LEONARD NIMOY! DAMN YOU, I SAY!

In that case, you should probably try to avoid this.

That My Chemical Romance song is also supposedly going to be in the Watchmen movie. So that's nice that I'll have to hear it.

A bit ot, but I was just reflecting today, after watching a new preview for the Watchmen before Gran Torino (which is a blast, if you ignore some hideous supporting acting) and got to thinking... why does Alan Moore always have to be such a diva? He seems to get more attention from criticizing bad film adaptations of his books than he does for the books themselves, nowadays.

I mean, I totally see his side of it, and I'd probably be a big diva too, if I were him, but I figured I'd just point it out anyway.

I think part of his issue is that bad film adaptations ruin the integrity of the original work. But like Frank Miller said when he made a sequel to "The Dark Knight Returns", even if it's crappy, it doesn't bleed over and make the original crappy too. I think the same applies to film adaptations.
