"Yay for ROCK"

Roadrunner held a funeral for nu-metal in Australia.

And proper rock is coming, mark my words.
No more will we have to listen to sulky blokes in big shorts with turntables telling you how hard school is or how much you hate your mum and stuff.
(Heard the new Papa Roach single last night, ends with the refrain "Life's not fair! Life's not fair! Life's not fair!", classic comedy)

No, true rock is coming. And it's coming wearing jeans, smoking unfiltered cigarettes, clutching a beer and refusing to leap about in videos.

And, for my money, leading the pack is a top, top band I just fell into called "Soil".
Think Pantera mixed with a bit of Clutch, some Prong.
Go download a tune called "Halo" to get a taste.
Essential ROCK.
Not nu-metal or "emo".

"Emo"...*shakes head*
Should be called "Chicks like rock too".

Nope, here comes ROCK to teach you how to play like your life depends on it.
Soil - "Halo".
Go get some.

Nickleback have nothing to do with emo. If Kylie sings a love song with a guitar backing is she now considered 'emo'.? Grrr. The term emo came from the US punk scene (hardcore, popcore, emocore) in the mid 90's. Nickleback are just one of the reasons that punk is better than RAWK.

Bye the way, I've spent all morning restoring my iMac from a horrific crash and I'm pretty annoyed now. So if I later start ranting even more incoherently about more insignificant things, cut me some slack! I'll be better soon.

Mind you, so do I.

True.

Well, you probably want to be though.

What the hell is emo any way? Does anyone actually know? Loads of old punk and hardcore bands have suddenly been called emo just cos they talk about feelings. Well punk has always been about expressing feelings. This new trend of calling things emo does suck. But, loads of bands who have been called emo are amazing. And no Goatboy, I'm not a girl.

What?

Halo? Deary deary me...

Rubbish? Crap more like.

*Will go on a Soil downloading thing soon*

Alls I've heard from Puddle of Mud is that "I love the way you smack my ass" song, and that's rock.
Are the rest rubbish then?

Ah well.

SOIL
SOIL
SOIL
SOIL

Nickelback emo?!? They are just wannabe emo with some of their songs but believe me, they do not achieve it. Emo isn't just all soppy, it's just made out to be by bands like Nickleback who can't do emo.

And Puddle Of Mudd real rock? What are you talking about there?

Signed to Fred Dursts label, guy wears his cap like him, 'Blurry' is wannabe emo and they are pants basically. Want a decent band on their label? Try The Revolution Smile.

I understand about the other bands though and what you are trying to say.
