  - [deleted]
  - Merge with Papa Johns. Pizza and a movie delivered. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 12:38 3
    - That's actually a good idea. - Loyola Mar 3, 12:43
    - Blockbuster is evil. Therefore, they will use Pizza Hut -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:40 1

String Quartet Tribute to Black Sabbath. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 12:22 2
- heh, sweet leaf in strings ... nice ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 12:26 1
  - (It's like ... if Black Sabbath did the music for Braid) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 12:27
... then I went off on a tangent in iTunes, looking for music that sounded like a cross between Wanted Dead or Alive, and the Firefly theme. - Beryllium Mar 3, 12:14 12
- I hate Bon Jovi, but I loved his Young Guns soundtrack cd. I think you're looking for that. -- nm - Remlik Mar 3, 12:29 11
  - FAIL -- nm - Jammed Uzi Mar 3, 12:45
  - No! You did NOT just say that. - Trish Mar 3, 12:30 6
    - It is his fatal flaw. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 12:33 2
      - ... due to his big hair, I think. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 12:34 1
        
        But his hair isn't big anymore. I think you're onto something though, blind men envy those with eyes. - Trish Mar 3, 12:35
    - can't stand Bon Blow Me -- nm - Remlik Mar 3, 12:32 2
      - I used to be young and full of myself and felt the same way. But I mellowed and admitted that the world is richer for him being in it. -- nm - crash davis Mar 3, 12:45
      - Bon Blowdry -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:33
  - thanks for the tip :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 12:30 2
    - Also in my collection. - Spawn Mar 3, 12:33
    - I remember reading that he wrote in the vein of the "steel horse I ride" song. He also got Jeff Beck and Elton John to play on it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 3, 12:31

SITWAP: Virgin Megastores all to be closed by summer. -- nm - David Mar 3, 12:14 6
- The source for this story? (I saw it on digg, and I never heard of whoever it was) -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:23 3
  - yahoonews also has the story -- nm - peglegpete Mar 3, 12:29 2
    - Thanks, but that story uses the same source. (Who is this thewrap?) -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:36 1
      - I got a breaking news email from Variety. -- nm - David Mar 3, 12:54
- "Hey, it's not just a store, it's a megastore. Mega means store and store means thing." (nm) - Brian Mar 3, 12:23
- Surprised they made it so long. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 12:22
Microsoft thinks they've solved the red ring of death. (link) - Mop Mar 3, 12:13 1

OK, let's detail debate another matchup: Green Day vs. Rage Against The Machine. - TFox Mar 3, 12:13 67
- Rage. Hands down -- nm - Jammed Uzi Mar 3, 12:40
- I vote Rage. -- nm - Dr.Vermhattan Mar 3, 12:28
- Rage should win because they were artistically unique. - con_carne Mar 3, 12:20 7
  - Then my dof should win because when the radio comes on he goes nuts. - Loyola Mar 3, 12:23 1
    - dog even -- nm - Loyola Mar 3, 12:24
  - Then I hereby nominate GWAR. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 12:22 4
    - Rage were probably the single most influential band of the nineties. Not every day a music genre gets born. -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:27 3
      - Nirvana? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 3, 12:28 2
        
        I don't know that I can count nearly as many bands who copied their sound though -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:33 1
        
        I can't think of many "rock" bands in the 90s that didn't copy their sound. -- nm - Trish Mar 3, 12:34
- Rage - no contest -- nm - Guy Mar 3, 12:19
- Green Day, easy. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 12:17 2
  - Word. -- nm - Jim Mar 3, 12:47
  - word -- nm - Beaker Mar 3, 12:18
- Rage had a schtick that worked like few other bands before or since. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:17 7
  - Green Day's middle output is consistently underrated, IMO - Reagen Mar 3, 12:19 6
    - I still have to get American Idiot given all the praise I hear for it. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:21 4
      - [deleted]
      - It's their A Night At the Opera. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 12:22
      - Jesus of Suburbia is one of the more impressive rock tracks I've heard in the last few years. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:22
      - I like Green Day ok, but American Idiot is a very solid album. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 12:21
    - American Idiot is fantastic, no doubt. Its the couple before that that leave me cold. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:20
- Green Day. -- nm - Loyola Mar 3, 12:16
- Rage. Morello and Zach are geniuses. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 12:16
- I give the nod to Green Day for longetivity - Strongbad Mar 3, 12:16 5
  - Interesting: The Battle of Los Angels debuted at #1, beating out Mariah Carey. -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 3, 12:19
  - you're kidding, right? BoLA was their best. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 12:17 3
    - indeed -- nm - Guy Mar 3, 12:19
    - There wasn't 1 song off it that I liked as much as their early stuff -- nm - Strongbad Mar 3, 12:18 1
      - "Wake Up" was good but not like Killing in the Name of or Bulls on Parade -- nm - Strongbad Mar 3, 12:23
- In the "music community" RATM are anything but underrated - MDH Mar 3, 12:15
- Rage Against the Machine is not just a lot better but infinitely more consistent. -- nm - David Mar 3, 12:15 23
  - This is totally true. No bad Rage album. They ruled until they quit. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:18 22
    - When I worked at a radio station and "Bulls on Parade" was the big single it was the only time... - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:20
    - we'll see how the new formation works, if at all. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 12:20 20
      - they missed their time with the Dubya years. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:21 19
        
        Rage? Nothing could be further from the truth. -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:25
        
        "We'd not like to debut our new single, "Obama's Just OK". Hit it!" -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 12:23 8
        
        They'll have plenty to say about Obama too. - TFox Mar 3, 12:24 7
        
        *splooge* -- nm - Ralph Nader Mar 3, 12:27
        
        Yeah, but I bet they see the difference now. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 12:26 2
        
        "You know...that Clinton guy wasn't so bad." -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:31 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        but there's no denying that Dubya was the best target for them in a generation. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:26 2
        
        I don't understand. Rage rarely sang about Presidents -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:28 1
        
        Dubya was The Machine. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:30
        
        Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 12:22 8
        
        although looking back...I'm a lot closer to them politically than I ever thought I'd be. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:24 7
        
        It is safer for everyone if there aren't too many people like Zach politically. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:25 6
        
        I'm ready for the end of organized government. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:27 5
        
        large-scale organized government at least. - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 12:29 4
        
        someone shoot these dogs. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:30 3
        
        no, we need the dogs to fight off the other dogs. -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 12:32 2
        
        (because we need to guns to fight off the zombies) -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 12:37 1
        
        "kill the zombies" -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:38
- I don't like RATM at all. They took themselves much too seriously. -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 12:14 7
  - Their first album came out 17 years ago. Not one band has come close to rivaling them since. - TFox Mar 3, 12:16 6
    - Eh, an argument could be made for Faith No More. -- nm - Trish Mar 3, 12:28 5
      - I don't know if Faith No More makes sense even now... - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:33 2
        
        I was throwing them out there to counter his rock/rap meld genre. As far as "new" bands Foo Fighters rule them all. -- nm - Trish Mar 3, 12:42 1
        
        They definitely tweaked a few heads in that direction with what they were doing. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 12:43
      - Yeah, a crazy argument. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 12:31
      - word - Spawn Mar 3, 12:31
- [deleted] 3
  - I have almost no doubt Green Day will. It's the should that throws me. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:14 2
    - OK, so is your question about who will win the bracket? (GD obvie, IMO) or about our opinions of the bands' music? -- nm - con_carne Mar 3, 12:17 1
      - I want people to tell me who should win, in their opinion. I don't much care if I win the contest. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 12:17
[deleted] 3
- I'm still laughing -- nm - Loyola Mar 3, 12:14
- two were cyborgs - Beryllium Mar 3, 12:13
- Spineless, maybe. -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 12:12
Word. -- nm - Jim Mar 3, 12:10
