I hate Green Day. I'm gonna go on a little rant here...

There are so many people that like bands like Green Day or Good Charlotte or Simple Plan or any rap or hip-hop artist. It just aggrivates me. If you watch/listen to them live, they suck hard, and that means they aren't good musicians.
Green Day - the guy can barely play guitar when you hear them live
Good Charlotte - nobody can do anything in that band
Simple Plan - The lead singer can whine and that's about it
Any rap or hip-hop artist - Can't go on without 5 billion backup singers to hide the fact that they can't sing.

New music like this annoys me. People say stuff like "oh I'm so gald I listen to real music like beyonce" or crap like that. I wish people would finally figure out which bands are real musicians who write their own stuff.

Anyways, got some Coldplay, they kick ass.

I'm just saying that bands like Good Charlotte, and pretty much every rap and hip-hop artist is not a real musician. I'm not saying I'm throwing my opinion around like it's gospel. It's my opinion and I feel very strongly about it.

" Not to be offensive, but just because you recently discovered Led Zeppelin doesn't mean you have to go off on bands like Green Day or even entire genres like Rap or Hip-hop."

I didn't formulate this opinion because I recently discovered Zeppelin. I've always thought this while I was brought up listening to real music like a lot of jazz and beatles. Music by real musicians who were talented and could write their own music and play their own instruments.

I cannot appreciate any rap or hip-hop or stuff from bands like the ones I said because I can't say "wow that's a good song of theirs" when they can't perform it or didn't write it or don't sing it. That's another reason I don't like rap. I would always listen to someone who has vocal abilities who can sing amazingly as opposed to a rapper who talks fast and rhymes biatch with biatch.

Because of these reasons, I started listening to older stuff like Zeppelin and AC/DC and the Doors and Jimi Hendrix. All of whom are real musicians. If you asked them to improvise, they'd be able to do it. Take Led Zeppelin, they hardly ever played their songs the same way twice because they were real musicians who could improvise because they new their instruments inside and out, as opposed to Good Charlotte who got famous saying crap like "Girls don't like boys girls like cars and money"

I have no respect for rappers, hip-hop artists, or new "rock" bands. I'm sorry if you disagree but that is my opinion.

if you play music and write music

Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
It looks like this was released in Britain sooner than stateside, as I see a whole bunch of comments about it prior to the US release. Currently, I favor the acoustic disc, but the whole thing rocks.
