We've been having a debate here and some r00kie n00b to the music world has some crazy notion that Travis are better for some unknown reason than the mighty radiohead.....

What Do You Guys Reckon... You can guess how i feel!

Respect to the bands you like they are class although seeing Greenday live nowadays has put me off them a bit... and so did their last album... Make your own band *pfff*. But how you can say MR Yorke is anything but a guru i don't know as you have to admit The Bends Is one of the best albums ever written and anyone who disagrees with this needs to go and listen to it again...

Wow Your Just one Big f00l! I said nothing about going to a gig to get beatnen up so solid style did i now... NO! I said i prefer decents gigs with more atmosphere where i don't feel the need to pull a lighter out every 10 mins and put a big cheesy grin on and sing my heart out.. This is not to say i want to be shot and if you actually read what i wrote, i said i don't even like nu-metal to whoever wrote that. Before coming back to me read what i write then maybe i can have a proper debate. Og and Mosh Pits are cool, if your saying that they're not good then you've obviously never been in one, or you are jockey...

Actually I like such class bands as Machine Head, Pitchshifter, NOFX, Greenday, RATM, Nirvana etc etc

Oh, and if that's all you want from a gig then go to a So Solid Crew "concert", there you can jump around and get shot. Marvellous...

> rather than take a pillow for a goodnights sleep like counting crows,

You get a video recording of a Crows gig and you see the crowd jump and singalong. Rain King, Murder of One, American Girls, St Robinson, Mrs Potters Lullaby... Lots more I can't be arised to name; they all are quick and get the crowd going. But then you look at the slower of Crows songs, Perfect Blue Buildings, Round Here, Colourblind, Long December, Recovering the Satellites, Goodnight Elizabeth etc, they keep the crowd singing along, they don't jump around because the tempos different and slower but they still sing and the atmosphere is still there. The Crows are a band that normally specialise in slower more emotive songs that keep an atmosphere of brotherhood, that's bloody true you look at a crowd at a Crows gig and more often than not they're swaying together, singing together and generally being friends. There's no violence at Crows gigs because that's not the sort of band they are. You want violence, a moshpit and swearing in songs just for the sake of it, then go to a bloody Nu-Ass festival; if you want a proper concert atmosphere with an emotive crowd and emotive songs then go to a Crows gig. BAHHHHHHHHH.

Anything with Nu In deserves to die.. I Like A Lot Of Punk Stuff and alternative Rock bands that actually make you want to jump at a gig rather than take a pillow for a goodnights sleep like counting crows, and bands like Alkaline Trio and Muse and other bands like Queens Of The Stoneage, foo fighters are all brilliant.

Even better, download Murder of One live and say they're boring. The Crows have passion for their music, they play and they get into it, they do legendary improvs simply when Adam feels like it, Dan Vickrey got his guitar and learned how to make it talk, he sounds awesome electrical, but both he and Dave Bryson can play acoustic and goddamn they can play it well. If you listen to their acoustic playing on the VH1 Storytellers set then maybe you'll understand, acoustic guitar is possibly the most mellowing and relaxing instrument ever. Nirvana with acoustics would sound odd, I agree, but that's because of the type of music they play you idiot. Not everything can fit into one category, some things need electric others need acoustic it's as simple as that, can't you work that out for yourself?

Oh, and welcome back, Shaneo.

I've got the Nirvana Unplugged CD and it's class. Can you listen to that and say you don't like it?

Ok Gabbo MTV Unplugged... What sounds better for example Nirvana With Acoustic Guitars, Or With Electric... hmmm... Plus these Are dedicated to only acoustic, and don't mix it in with there performances. Such as oh i don't know Stain'd. No false pretences. So For you to think that acoustic is better than electric, your obviously a early indie fan with no sense of change!
