They aren't shite
they may not be as good as a lot of people say they are, but they are still a good band.

I feel the same way about RATM
I find that their songs were never fantastic in the first place, lacklustre more often then not, and so to have them shoved down your throat just makes it worse.

Granted, there are a couple of exceptions for both, but I stand by my opinion on the whole.

RATM have a pretty unique sound though
and have the benefit of being excellent musicians

But, in my opinion, terrible song writers.

can't agree
things like Bombtrack and Know Your Enemy are awesome.

As I say, there are exceptions
Bombtrack - While I'm not a fan, I do appreciate how others can like it.

The best track they've done is Testify though.

I love their cover album
Their cover of The Ghost of Tom Joad is awesome.

that is good
Renegades of Funk is on there isn't it?

That a cover of the Bambaata classic?

yep
it's a fucking beauty of a cover

Disclaimer Alert.
Some people may view this "fucking beauty" to be a total travesty by an annoying bunch of shouty, yank brat wankers.

I cannot image that they've improved that masterpiece so I'm staying well away
although their guitarist was quite an innovator.

true
Monty is probably included in that.

Depends on his view of RATM in the first place I suppose.

I can not forgive them for screeching the lyric...
..."Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" and sounding like Bonnie Langford on PCP.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:42, Reply)

it's not among my favourite of their songs

You are on FIRE today.
I cannot stop tninking about Bonnie Langford on PCP now.

If I had the choice of Bonnie Langford (with PCP)...
...or seeing Rage I'm with the ginger.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:55, Reply)

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:14, Reply)
