Hate to say I told you so
 

but the Hives fucking rock!

Gee...that "smashing of the stage and equipment" routine was pretty original at the Video Music Awards.

That's some revoloutionary poppycock those fuckers fugured out!

Refused wannabes.

Refused from 1995

http://cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID...tistID=REFUSED

And International Noise Conspiracy wants to be refused soooooo bad.

All from 95, they finally caught on?

ghahahaha

those fools have been out for like 10 years..why are they just now getting recognition from you people? hmmm bandwagon fans maybe?... I don't know the music therefore I won't comment on how shitty they probably are lol

The Swedish hardcore band Refused was formed in 1991 by vocalist Denni Lyxzén, guitarists Jon Brännström and Kristofer Steen, bassist Magnus Höggren and drummer David Sandström. Debuting in 1993 with the EP This Is the New Deal, the group issued the full-length This Just Might Be...the Truth later that same year. The Everlasting EP followed in 1994, and in 1995 Refused returned with another EP, Refused Loves Randy. After 1996's Fan the Flames of Discontent, they issued the EP Rather Be Dead; in the wake of completing 1998's The Shape of Punk to Come, Refused disbanded, unable to reconcile their anarchist leanings with a career in music. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

93 - didnt release anything until 95

Refused released their debut in 93.

Conincedence?

hahaha

Okay maybe you guys know about this type of music but I don't...so I'm gonna give you the details and you can tell me if its true.

Front Line Assembly. A band. Gave a performance in Germany. I met a guy who went over there to DJ for them and his first night in, the lead singer quit. In front of 40,000 right wing teenagers they convinced the DJ to go on in the lead singers place. They shaved his head and he did it.

Is this true? Anybody know? Have I been conned?!?

Are you trying to say FLA are nazis?

I have no idea...Im just repeating what i was told.

whatever ... who gives a good GOD damn?
They're sounds all right to me now...

That whole Strokes, Hives, White Stripes sound is a nice back to basics sound...

get into it... :321GFY

But they raise a good point. I always thought it was bogus when those fucksticks BARENAKED LADIES were "discovered" by the American Pop Music Industry about three years past their expiration date in Canada.

Fucking Barenaked Ladies. If I had a million dollars I'd make sure they never sang again.

Their sound is Iggy Pop Raw Power. To which I listen to DAILY.

I have been into Swedish rock since before the Hives dude...

This sound has been here, its just funny to see mainstream whitefolk get into and cant get enough when it really never left.

Its just you guys were listening to *other*shit.

Check out

Backyard Babies
Wildhearts
Devin Townsend

Never heard of those names... I will check them out!
Hey I love Iggy... Iggy is a legend bro... :thumbsup

So are the Wildhearts and backyard babies...(wildhearts were here before GNR)

Devin Townsend was playing guitar on tour with Steve Vai at 19.

Wildhearts are bigger than Iggy Pop in Japan.(where METAL and ROCK NEVER DIE)

Backyard babies, dude they are huge, just not in the US.

Which is cool because these bands come and play small as clubs here and we get to kick it with them because here they are nothing, but in Japan they cant walk down the street without Lil Sailor Suit teeny Jap girls throwing pussy at em...

;)

yeah but didn't Cheap Trick have that going on for them back in the mid to late 70s?
They had a certain level of success in north america, but it was their Japanese success that got them noticed here...

you think the hives rule, apprently you've never had the CLAP!

All music is bigger in Japan bro.

Every band from the US who has major deals releases specuial versions for the Japanese, usually with extra tracks.

Yeah Cheap trick crept in mid late seventies...

But Iggy Pops Raw Power was recorded in 1972/73

That Album is what set off the whole thing....

Theres a band that lives a few streets over.... known throughout the US though.... tour extensively with "Toilet Boys"

Their name comes from line one of Raw Power in the track 1 "Search And Destroy."

The line is "Im a street walkin cheetah."

Of course the band name is "Street Walking Cheetahs."

Killer rock music,.

Andy Edmund (formerly of SexTracker) looks a lot like Iggy Pop

Lets not forget the spawning of MC5 in 69 from the hardcore city of Detroit man, this rock is what started Punk dude.

MC5
Iggy & The Stooges

Hives just playing their parts. (pawns)

The Kings already in place.

You keep saying that, but I still think TINC is the better band... Refused was more like punk/metal - their music was heavier and the vocals just screams of rage/anger/despair. TINC is more melodic, they have groovier basslines, and he actually sings this time around (even when he does scream, it's not nearly as annoying).

Its safe to assume I own most of both bands music. (vinyl or CD)

Everything I bash, I own.

I even own Hives.

I only KNOW it because I listen to it.

Corona in hand, at 4 pm, im good n buzzed now.... hehehe

:stoned

:glugglug

The white stripes scare me.

<font color="red"><h6> Minstry's in case you didnt feel like showing up live is blaring loud as fuck through surrounding JBL towers,


"Destroy us or make us saints."

"its not our fault. - we were born to late."

corona n herbs kick my ass everytime...

hehehe</h6>

The Hives - Die, Alright!

Love that song.

:1orglaugh drip drip drip...

I like the Hives & The Strokes. Those guys have been trying to get some success for a lotta years now. I respect their persistance. The White Stripes are some kids that got lucky. I'm not so sure about them.

Out of all of them I expect the most from The Strokes. They have that all so important 'Potential Rock God' aura.

"KILL! KILL! KILL!"

I love Al.
