DEAR BAD MUSICIANS....The OFFICIAL FUCK YOU EDITION to the current state of music

Scott Ian of Anthrax 
(doing what he does best)

FOR HALLOWEEN I want to say something......and play some random Halloween tunes...

 THIS IS AN OFFICIAL LETTER TO Drake, Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Maroon 5, OMI, Rihanna, Ke$ha, Hinder, Daughtry, Nickelback, My Morning Jacket, ALL current pop and rap artists, but especially Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, Wiz Khalifa, Hollywood Undead and SO ON.....

BUT FIRST....REAL MUSIC

EVH

Metallica

NOTE:  The reason I included bands such as Arcade Fire and Hollywood Undead are that you hear how they are the GREATEST GROUP since the last band they tried to shove down our throats and when you hear them, its good but its not what the hype is.....Hollywood Undead is the same 90s rap/rock but the guys look like Slipknot....WOW record companies you really did some research here.

Fucking Adele

Joan Jett

Henry Rollins

And really? Adam Levine you are tatted up like some badass but you sing "MOOOOVES like Jagger" with a gay whistling guy in the background.  And you probably wear Ed Hardy and Affliction gear.

Iggy 

Also,.......the LIST DOES NOT INCLUDE Bruno Mars and Katy Perry as at least they are SOMEWHAT ORIGINAL.....but if you use that autotune or that gay repetitive club beat like Pitbull or that Enrique Iglesias horrible song "Dirty Dancer" with none other than Lil Wayne and Usher where they repeat Dirty Dancer over and over again and then in the middle Lil Wayne mumbles like a fucking idiot.........

Kurt

Willie

Mick and Jerry

Basically this has been a constant struggle for me but I HATE / LOATHE the current state of music, If current state of music is defined by music while I am listening. 
So with that said I don't like the radio EVER.  
And I especially don't like corporate radio as it ruins music at the expense of making money and artists NEVER get a chance to evolve anymore unless you are one of the chosen.   We ALL know record companies control this so its flavor of the month and you have to play a certain number of songs so many times in one day.  

Frank Zappa 
(circa a long time ago)

Pop radio is REALLY bad at this which is why you will hear the same song almost every hour.

Kesha aka KESHIT

Mr. Lee

I guess what I am getting at radio finds something beats the FUCK out of it rather than be smart and explore. 
For example, are you telling me that the only Pink Floyd songs that are good are the ones on the radio and 90% of the listeners have the albums so would like to hear DEEPER cuts.

Pink Floyd

Avril Lavigne 
(before super uber pop)

Ike and Tina Turner 

The BEST example I can think of is NEW ROCK stations playing "Fight For Your Right" by the Beastie Boys when that is the WORST representation of a what the Beastie Boys are and anyone who listens would welcome MORE Beastie Boys, but Program Directors EVERYWHERE have massive egos and think they know better than the masses......PLEASE READ BELOW

Dear BAD MUSICIANS,


Please stop making this thing you call music. As I write this, my ears are bleeding and I'm taking four different prescriptions to keep the seizures your music causes at bay. Enclosed, please find the picture of a dead bird. This bird did not die by being hit by a car. No, I happened to have my windows open playing your atrocious music and it simply fell from the sky. If I believed in a God, I would take this as a sign to stop playing your music. 

EVEN MR FUCKING ROGERS HATES TODAY'S MUSIC

Please go back to days when musicians made me feel as though they cared about what they made.

CASH!!!

and Thank you.

Grace Slick 
(WAY before "We Built This City")

....and THIS IS JUST FUCKING OUT THERE but FUCKING JAMS!!!!

Regards,
GOOD MUSIC and the MASSES




and this is directed at Lady Gaga for being a fucking moron

CUNT

2Pac 
(Guess Suge Knight got the last word)

and look at this pussy....like he doesn't need the attention.....if it wasn't for the dumb paparazzi this pussy would be invisible
and yes below is Danny Bonaduce...

BYE NOW

Heidi Fucking Klum cause she is HOT

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2016

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
Plato
























OK so its Rock and Roll Hall of Fame time again and since RUSH got in I really haven't paid much attention....and the fact that 3 chord Green Day got in before Deep Purple kind of pissed me off.

If anyone remembers when they had CD stores in mid 90s to sell CDs I never forgot seeing over 20 copies of Green Day's "Dookie" CD which obviously was overplayed and tired.

I didn't see Green Day starting punk only being a better Blink 182.

And for the record the "American Idiot" album is brilliant by Green Day and they are talented but Hall of Fame I don't think so.

the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since its inception has been kind of a joke with skeptical additions but STILL I wanted bands that deserved to get in years ago but sat until recently....KISS (2014). RUSH and HEART (2013)

and lets not forget Doobie Brothers, Thin Lizzy are still not in but Guns and Roses and Nirvana are....sorry as big an influence but from different decade.

Ok so this year is Deep Purple, NWA, Cheap Trick, Chicago, Yes, J.B.s, The Cars, Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson, Los Lobos, Steve Miller, Spinners, The Smiths and Nine Inch Nails with Chic appearing on the list for the 10th time.

_____________________________________________________

Ok off the top  SORRY CHIC you are not worthy regardless of Nile Rodgers....
same goes for Los Lobos....you deserve it but not this year.....

same for Chaka Khan even though this rocks.....


same goes for LOS LOBOS and Janet Jackson

Los Lobos are good but not worthy....yet.....and Janet you are not Michael but yes you can be in....not this year
________________________________________________

WHOLLY SHIT the J.B.s....

every hip hop artist needs to thank them

_____________________________________________________________


So lets look at the Spinners - not yet if not never

maybe a few years but not now....not the influence like JBs or NWA

____________________________________________________________

NWA - YES!!!!! 

speaking of NWA....hip hop dies like disco in late 80s early 90s if it isn't for Public Enemy and NWA








and my favorite by them.....just so damn original...unlike the laziness of today












_____________________________________________________________
Steve Miller - yes

OK for just this performance alone he gets in....WHAT A JAM!!!!!



________________________________________________________

CHICAGO - YES

those album covers and the horns....simply amazing

__________________________

NIN (Nine Inch Nails) - not yet

YES but they won't get in now....but they took music to a whole new level 

I think, fundamentally, music is something inherently people love and need and relate to, and a lot of what's out right now feels like McDonalds. It's quick-fix. You kind of have a stomachache afterwards.

—Trent Reznor, Salt Lake Tribune interview (2005)

always ahead of the curve.....
____________________________________________________

the Smiths - not yet but yes
sure since they influenced so many but not this year.....

_____________________________________________________________
The Cars - YES.

....wasn't new wave without the Cars....yes many followed them

and this jam from Live Aid 1985




_____________________________________________________

CHEAP TRICK - not sure on the fence but yes eventually but no doubt THIS is what put them on the map....LIVE at Budokan and just look at these fools...have you ever seen weirder group?


_____________________________________________________

 Deep Purple - HELL to the fuck yes


Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "Unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-Seventies" They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
