Whatever Happened to Alternative Nation?

[Ed Hocken]

There was The Srokes, The Hives, The Vines. I remember this well. I own the major album of The Hives, some swede band that went nowhere fast.

[Abraham Smashington]

The Vines were the only good ones to come out. It's a shame the lead singer has aspergers. Dude had some skill.

[Ed Hocken]

Yeah, that band self-destructed real fast. Hives could play really fast if IIRC.

[Abraham Smashington]

The Hives were boring IMO. He just aped Jagger for the most part. I wanted to punch the lead singer in the face.

[Ed Hocken]

You're right, there was a strange schtick to the whole band. Some kind of joke that we weren't a part of.

Fuck if I know, I made the wrong turn into AFI-ville and Industrial from 03 to 06.

Why would you hat The Strokes?? I really dig their first album. All the hype and bullshit that surrounded them was lame though.

[Abraham Smashington]

I hate them because their music is boring.
I hate them because the hype and bullshit around their boring music was boring.
I hate them because for months I was told that I had bad taste because I hated them.

Fuck The Strokes

[Nathan]

Yes, but why the hat?????? THE HAT, MAN????

[Captain Russ]

Linkin Park has fucking amazing production skills. The music is debatable, but Chester can FUCKING SING.

[PHEDG]

I liked Julian's stuff better than Albert's.

[Captain Russ]

I liked Julian's stuff better than Albert's.

Ditto.

[gravedigger]

One of the few bands I've EVER seen where their stage show sounds EXACTLY like the album.

I can't tell if you're saying this is a good thing or a bad thing.
