Motley Crue vs. Nine Inch Nails

[GeraldFord]

and trent is on a level which motley crue could never comprehend.

Yeah. ?Crue play musical instruments, Trent plays pots n' pans and synthesizers and shit. ?

Kidding, of course. ?I like them both, but to compare an 80s hair metal band to an enduring industrial act...well, there aren't a lot of easy points of comparison.

Ok, let the debate begin...

Motley Crue or Nine Inch Nails?

I say NIN!

[norway]

Yeah, when NIN does something close musically and vocally to Shout At The Devil maybe

[Bobarcord]

Why should we pick one or the other ?  I personally like both band.

[GeraldFord]

satd is nothing more than rehashed AeroKiss.

Way overrated, dated and cheesy.

SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT....

[norway]

It's not, and also...can Trent sing as Vince does on Danger, Red Hot and Knock Em' Dead? Thought not

[Bobarcord]

SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT....

But that is one of the things about that album that make is so awesome .

[mrlee]

this is a retarded comparison, ill take motley crue over NIN though as they are my preffered style of music.

but come on, honestly, different scene and years apart in when they came out and hit primes.

[GeraldFord]

Think about how much more ballsy TDS is over SATD.

[Jim Bob]

this a strange poll.

have to go with NIN.   better songs, better live show, better singer.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I'll say the Crue though I'm a fan of NIN as well.



And I like Shout At The Devil.

what a load! SATD is metal, TDS is just keyboards and messy guitars.

I see what you're saying, but for me personally it's a tough call just because I think I have 7,000 something songs on my ipod and I have about 3 from each of these artists. And I have been exposed to both groups greatly through friends who are huge fans of both groups so it's not a case of "You only heard their singles....you don't even know man-YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW".  Sorry, in my humblest of opinions neither band is very good, and I think both of them were extremely fortunate time-wise. If GnR came out this year I don't think they would be nearly as popular but I still think they would hit it big because it comes down to song quality and they had it. Trent was very lucky he came out when he did and so are the crue. I will give trent points for being at least original-if not good. However I am going to say the crue overall just because at least they were sometimes fun as opposed to trents songs which encourage whining.

Lol Motley V. NIN? That's not really something you compare.

I guess I would choose NIN for overall credibility... but it's not like one is ALOT better than the other. It's like comparing... er.. The Beastie Boys to.. The Beatles or something. Sure the Beatles are better, but they didn't do some of the cool stuff The Beastie Boys did. You know?

[ppbebe]

only on a GNR fan board...

NIN

[CheapJon]

trent for tha win'nah

[Gunner80]

Wow just wow! another pointless thread.

Deffinatly Crue.
I don't really like the industrial thing at all and what I've heard of NIN I've found boring and self indulgent.

this a strange poll.

have to go with NIN. better songs, better live show, better singer.

I agree that it's a strange poll, but that's where it stops. I deffinatly preffer Crue's songs anyday, I preffer Vince over Trent, and I haven't seen a NIN show, but the Crue shows are pretty awesome. The Carnival of Sins tour (a 'circus gone wrong') was an amazing stage show.
But with this poll the styles of music are so different that there is little ground for comparison, aside from personal perference.

yea thats my point, this one is all about personal preference because they are nothing alike.

plus NIN had Robin Finck in it, Motley Crue did not.

live performance - NIN, as close to a perfect live show as you will ever see.

composition skills - NIN, breaks the standard structure of songs which most bands use and it works

creativity - NIN, year zero promotion enough said

musical talent - NIN - josh > tommy lee,  aaron > mick, jeordie > sixx, and well i've seen many a crue fan admit that vince can't sing live, and trent well he can.

lyrics - NIN - hurt covered by cash, that kind of thing just would not happen with motley crue.

quite easy to compare some aspects. and like i said, trent is on a whole different level to motley crue, they couldn't come close to what he does, where as without a doubt if trent wanted to, he could create a motley crue style record.

i take motley crue for what they are, a generic 80's scene band. where as NIN are a band which push boundaries and are constantly evolving.

[Crazyman]

I like NIN, one of my favorite bands.

Motley Crue is great...for people that are in to that kind of music. I just don't like them at all, however.
