Do 'Real' Music fans annoy you?

Kevin_rc_ie

And everyone should pimp good obscure bands so they can become good successful bands that don't pack it in before they release that masterpiece because no one bought the last album. Imagine if Undertow by Tool only sold 200 copies and they split? Or if Radiohead only got as far as The Bends?

you should have changed that to Pablo Honey. they should have stopped after ok comp.

They used to, but now they annoy everyone, so i think there brilliant...

I was picking good albums by bands who have made great albums. Pablo Honey is neither.

Kevin_rc_ie

did you know i meant, "Or If Radiohead only got as far as Pablo honey". Seeing that pablo honey was crap as an album.

Interesting, first band I see, Anthony and the Johnsons, I've been listening to them lately, I saw them on Jools Holland and I was quite impressed. I was impressed with their music, that's all.

Lemming

I hate you all.

I think it's terrible the way some people are stuck in their Genres too. They wont like to hear anything but metal etc. There are one particular group of people I know and I've been to a few parties with the group. Every party you are guaranteed to hear the same songs. Pantera - Walk, SOAD - Chop Suey and there are a few others too, but anything non Metal/Hard they will want to change and put Pantera back on. Gawd.. I mean I think Walk is good too but you get a bit sick of anything that's repeated (the situation is repeated all the time, same music, same people, bleugh).. What happens when I hook up my iRiver and put on Deep Forest (African tribal music) or a bit of scooter, or a bit of Perez Prado Mambo (all great party music:)) everyone goes "what's that ****... turn that **** off, the second it goes on just because they can't hear metal. Sigh...

Yeah thats another thing that gets my goat something fierce! Close Minded Genre fans that call themselves music fans! You cant be a music fan, in my opinion, if you only listen to just Metal or just Pop you know? I have a diverse, eclectic taste in music. I listen to everything from Mozart to Motorhead. I listen to music from Musicals and Native American tribal music. I hate it when Im at a party, like you said, and I hear the same old **** over and again. Tis a disgrace.

Of course, there's no quicker way to hate a band than to have their flawed music played constantly on the radio/tv, flaws that may have escaped your notice when you listened to them, perhaps, once a day.

You can't beat the good oul tribal music, however, I've really only listened to the likes of Deep Forest. Could you recommend some more? Also, Deep Forest, as far as I know, are two DJs who are definitely not tribes men, the white skin gives it away:D If you have any recommendations, please share!

I like alternative bands like Nickelback

Spot on.

It's the people who actually think they're "special" because they listen to pop in disguise, one month it's snow patrol, the next month it's the killers and by the end of the year they'll have forgotten about all of them and moved on to the next trend in disguise.


I hope that makes sense

what DID happen to toploader?

I can listen to a lot of music but to me scooter is not music, its an old man shouting stupid things over a computer.

SIBERIA!!!!!!

Scooter is great for getting the body moving. Give it a shot, free house, "How much is the fish" at full volume, allot of room to jump up and down and run around the house. See how you like it:P

Back on the place no disgrace, bring it on down to the party place.. yeah yeah.. Dave.. Dave from Shefield. Lucky Ucky!!! I mean the thought that went into them lyrics. Just wait for the bass to hit and you'll see what I mean

Also, if you can, get Paul Van Dyk Live @ Mayday 2,000. It's a great set and will get you fit in no time:)

Maynard.

I dunno, maybe sum of these 'real' fan types do stop listening to bands because of their popularity, but for me its just quality of music really.. In refrence to the killers, I started listening to them long LONG before they got any way big, Im talking over a year at least.
Soon I watched them start getting a little play on mtv2 late at night etc, and after awhile, I began growing tired of the same tracks, slowly they got even more and more popular getting Mtv play, I had stopped listening to them entirely by this stage to prevent myself developing a dislike for them, but they got even more popular, and thus people start talking to me about them, they get round the clock play on all the music channels, radio stations and even in shops..
It wasnt that every1 liked them that got me it was just that I had been listening to them for too long, and just when I was getting little bored, they break thru and Im forced to listen to them and hav them shoved in my face. Now I cant stand hearing any of the singles, and the other tracks hav lost all appeal.
The same thing happened with HiM, I had been listening to them for some time before Bam got involved and their popularity exploded, But I never got sick of HiM. I dont know if its because their music is more replayable, or that they simply had alot more albums before they broke..

In either case, I think the right level of popularity, or the Highest acheivable without losing face, is probably that of NiN, and altho not quite as well known, Tool, two of my favourite bands, well known, and yet you dont hear many people saying "I liked them years ago, they suck now..".

Ahem, anyways to answer the OP's question, yes, 'Real' music fans to annoy me, to a certain extent.

you spend your life follwing a little band around for years,then suddenly they become massive and cant a ticket to a concert cus suddenly all these "new" fans have appeared.happens in football all the time.
sometimes i am a musical snob,but only cus i cant stand someone who has been listening to a band for 5 minutes telling me the delays sound very similar to the smashing pumpkins etc.
*part time rant over*

thats what happened to me with Green Day
I loved them long before they released dookie .then they became huge and suddenly everyone loved them that happened for years then they died down. i still thought they were class. then comes american idiot and theres all these new guys again
drives me up the wall

Not so much complex as well connected

Blisterman

I think it's stupid to stop liking a band when they become mainstream, but sometimes, when a band breaks through, you hear them so much, you get tired of them.
Though it is cool to see a band you like, become more popular. Better them, than some crap like a lot of new bands at the moment.
