Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Heard a song on the radio a couple of times called "Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock" by someone named MC Lars.  In it, the singer mentions a number of different items sold at the chain store Hot Topic and declares them all "Not Punk Rock".  One of the things brought up is "Guns N' Roses watches".

Post punk laptop rap?  Wierd dude man.

is that hip hop?

It's sort of a modern "punk" song...sort of in the spirit of Green Day.  It's actually a pretty funny song.

Any song that can be assoiated with the band Green Day is not punk.

Pop Punk is by far the worst music ever  created.

Bands like Green Day (well their new stuff anyway) Good Charlotte, Blink 182, AFI, Arvil, and all those other shitty bands my gf's trendy sister listens to makes me wanna vomit.

The Ramones, the Clash, the Misfits, UK Subs... that's punk.

Punk is the worst "music" ever created period. an excuse for untalented people to pretend they're muscians. including, the ramons, sex pistols and the horrible clash.

Yeah.  I pretty much aggree with you guys.  Although, the Sex Pistols have been a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time.  Any punk that came out after 1990 is pretty much phoney, corporate punk.  That includes music and "punk" movies that pretend to be all hardcore and shit.  Have you ever seen that movie S.L.C. Punk?  One word: retarded.


Regardless, I still think that MC Lars song was amusing for a minute or two.

yeah yeah right on smart ass!
ramones is a great pop band, the sex pistols changed the music world in late 70's (appetite s still considered by many as the "nevermind the bullocks" of the 80's), and The Clash made the best early 80's albums (Snadinista, London Calling) and mixed rock with punk and ska and reggea better than anybody - only The Police came close. you may not like them, but maybe with the exception of the ramones you're talknig about some of the most talented musicians ever.

I doubt Sid Vicious was one of the most talented musicians ever... :hihi:

But you?re right, great punk bands like The Ramones or The Clash were great, and they did a lot of good kicking the old dinosaurs out. (Until they became dinasaurs themselves and their clones clottered the music scene with horrible music, of course.)
Not mentioning that all the members of Guns are Punk fans.

Although Axl may have turned to 50c now... :nervous:

Punk music is good. Mc Lars is not punk Rock

Sid Vicious wasn't a musician! Steve Jones recorded his parts. but he was cool as fuck! the godfather of nikki sixx and duff (2 other guys that can't play shit)

Duff can play

So you're saying that Duff McKagan can't play? You obviously don't know a shit.

I bought a pair of Guns pajama pants yesterday at Wal Mart for 12 bucks maybe I should write a song about that.

Duff is actually a pretty good bassist.  Listen to his work on Contraband, some of his best work yet (unlike Slash's work on CB)...

Come on man, you cant be serious? So you think that Duff's parts on Appetite,Lies,Ilussions 1 + 2 and TSI are bad...?  Well, answer me this: Are you a musician? If you are, cool, but if you aint, then you dont know what you're talking about.. Do you think Axl would have worked with Duff for 12 years, or that Slash would have worked with him for 21 years if he couldent play??

yes i am a musician. duff has a great attitude, i love the guy (just as i love sid or nikky sixx).
but he's not a good bass player in my opinion. just compare the bass on new gn'r live shows vs. old gn'r shows or VR shows. Tommy Stinson, now that guy is a kick ass player and still has the punk attitude as well. that is a great bass player, not Duff.
i tend to avaluate musicians from their live performances (everything can be done and redone in studio until it sounds really good), that's why i say duff or nikky sixx are pretty mediocre players -  although nikky is a very talented songwritter.
i downloaded a VR show some weeks ago, a proshot, i think it's the download festival or something like that, and i felt really bad for duff there. just listen to the first minute of the show. rock'n'roll doesn't have to be always perfect, but that was a really bad moment (and the illusion tours had some too).
