Behind the glitter, the crazy head pieces and over the top outfits, Lady Gaga just might actually have some talent. Following in the previous generations footsteps, Gaga hides her talent behind pop beats that do her no justice. Gaga is today's generation Madonna or Cher.
There is actually proof of Lady Gaga showing her talent on the Howard Stern show. If she was ever to break out of her glam pop over the top outfits and ever wants to actually sing, she is capable! It is very hard to believe but it is indeed true. Gaga has talent but choses (or should I say, her label choses) not to show it.
There are artists like Nicki Minaj that go over the top and still have no talent. There is also Katy Perry (Click the link for the best video EVER) who puts on a hell of a show and screams talent. Lady Gaga should one day break out of this cliche crazy career and become a legit singer. It could happen!

Three Days Disgrace
Three Days Grace, I hate everything about you. In modern English, we try to avoid cliches, but you guys are perpetuating tasteless redundancy in lyrical content.
Why does this video of theirs have nearly 14-million views? I suppose it's because too few people read this blog, which would allow them to terms with what bad music really is.
Guys, the nineties are over; get with the program.
Try listening to some Deep Purple; maybe they can remove the bad taste from your mouths.
You know your music is miserable when there is just one, but TWO Facebook pages dedicated to how much your band blows.
There's a lot of deplorable Top-40 rock and metal (think Nickelback in the post below), but at least their songs are catchy and well produced.
It's not often that I have absolutely nothing nice to say... Hell... at least Attack! Attack!'s guitarist does a good crustacean impression.
Don't you guys just love the puns I manage to integrate into every post title?
Why is anybody listening to this terrible band?!??!?

Nickleback Over Come this You Canadians.
What's more American than Football on Thanksgiving? how about a Canadian band ( Nickelback) playing in the Detroit Lions Half time show. Yea that sounds pretty American to me. The band was boo-ed on stage after an online petition of 75,000 fans called for them to not play. The petition was ousted, United Way director of publicity Sal Fabens stated
"In one way, the fact that some 75,000 fans have signed an online petition calling for the band's ouster is fitting, since the theme of the United Way's halftime performance is "Live United." "This is a call to action, an invitation for everyone to join us, regardless of their stance on various issues, to move forward on creating opportunities for a better life for all," he wrote. "
Really? Your gonna say if 75,000 people don't want a band to perform, you call their performance an act of over coming adversity! Wow!
If you really want to hate those Canadians more here is a video of Nickleback firing back at the NFL Petition. Blame Canada!!!

I wish I was Megadeaf.
The Big Four, metal music's greatest quadrahedron, comprised of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax, have been responsible for providing head-bangin' records and artistic influence since their respective inceptions. While Metallica has been shooting blanks for a few years now, since even before that abomination St. Anger (please don't try to argue that album is good, for the sake of all that is metal), a new member of the Big Four is ready to throw in the towel: Megadeth.
Coming from the mind that brought epic thrash tunes like Tornado of Souls and Wake Up Dead into fruition, I think MegaDave has finally let the world know it's time to put his baby to sleep.
Th1rt3en, some say, is an unlucky number; I seem to agree, because Megadeth's luck has run out. I remember listening to tracks off of Endgame like Head Crusher and smiling; I remember telling all my metal-loving friends, "Megadeth has still got it!"
Megadeth has got something new for us now: an unlistenable new album. Do your self a favor and DON'T go out and buy it... Thank me later.
Why did Megadeth drop the &#*%ing ball?!?

Back in Black (Sabbath)
After nearly 33 years, Black Sabbath's original lineup is reuniting to record a new full-length album. They're even planning a 2012 world tour. There is only one issue with this: Ozzy is singing.
Even Ozzy's hay-day, when good 'ole Randy Rhoads was alive and well to tear it up with his wall of Marshall stacks, the prince of darkness still couldn't sing.
I don't think it was the bat blood that messed up his voice...
This has been an ongoing issue that has gotten even worse. Hell, Ozzy can't even speak anymore.
Ozzy, how can we help? I'm sure a lot of people want to hear you perform, but not like this.
Why are you making us listen to you, Ozzy?!?

Dub-Step Festivals and Hippies.
What do Dub-Step festivals and hippies have in common? If you really think about it. Drugs, lots and lots of drugs if you've experienced these festivals you would know that it is a hot bed of people popping ecstasy ,"Mollys", engulfing tabs of acid, and walking around is a zombified state while loud bass music blows your ear lobes out. being a lighting technician I appreciate the light shows that accommodate these hippie fests, but the fact that these festival promote nothing more than a "good time" and the experience of witnessing a sweet lighting show. There has to be purpose to a group meeting other than blasting bass in your face!

The Dying Local Scene
Long Island has been the home of popular bands that have made it big such as, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Envy On The Coast, Straylight Run, Nightmare of You, Glassjaw, and Bayside. It has been years since Long Island has had a successful artist make it big and headline US tours. The closest we have is Stereo Skyline, who doesn't even play their instruments live anymore. Seriously!? What are you too big for a Long Island crowd when the next state over has no idea who you are?
Bands like this don't deserve anything. Their moms pay for their equipment and advertising space across the internet. They pay thousands of dollars for a good producer that will actually make their catchy four chord songs sound good. Get over yourself, you have bad hair and no one wants to listen to that. Don't wear girl's jeans, big white sunglasses, straightened hair and call yourself a man!
Bands like these come and go and could "get signed" to a label, but at the end of the day you will be back where you started... playing the Vibe Lounge in Rockville Center for 10 little girls who only come because you wrote on their facebook wall. Not to mention crappy sound technicians who don't want to be there DOING THEIR JOBS!
Why Is Anybody Listening!?

MetalBore... It all Sounds the Same!
Have you ever woken up in the morning and asked yourself, "What do Metalcore and milk have in common?" The answer is, they're both homogenized.
Warning: Some of the following audio or video footage may be offensive to people with good taste in music.
They say Metalcore break downs make you want to break stuff... It makes me want to break my speakers.
Top ten MetalSnore vocalists? More like the top ten reasons I wish I were deaf.
Just listen to All That Remains and you'll know what every other Metalcore band sounds like... well, except these guys.
Those who chastised Attack Attack! decided to coin the term CrabCore. Do you get it?
If I recall correctly, I think it was Attack Attack! who made it acceptable for Design The Skyline to play music. Remember them from last week? I wish I didn't.
Please, make it stop.
Why is Anybody Listening to this sorry excuse for music?!?

HIM - All Over Again!
Just when we thought it was safe to listen to music again, the heartagrams were gone and the HIM craze has died out. Just when we thought that black leather and guys in eye liner was no longer a threat to society, it returns.
Black Veil Bride is an interesting band of emo-core goths that has a cult like following. Try going in to a Hot Topic these days without hearing this band playing in the store. Goth music has finally been toned down, but add some emo to it and it comes back like a bad cold.
Do yourself a favor and don't even attempt to listen to this band. If you already clicked the links above and are now suffering from bleeding of the ears, contact your local physician. If you saved yourself the trouble and did not click the link, consider yourself saved.
