Green Day make good music--excellent guitar work and drumming, and great songwriting. They put on a good concert and they're fun. What's wrong with that? I wouldn't necessarily consider then most influential, though. I like the Doors. I am not some screaming chick who only likes the Doors because I wanna fuck Jim's corpse. I love the music. And everybody's so quick to mention the women who scream about jim being hot, but what about the guys who grow their hair long, wear shades, quote jim without understanding him and are overall douchebags? they're annoying too. The Doors were an actual band when they were discovered by Elektra. NSync was manufactured. And for the whole talent bit, FUCK! it's rock and roll! If you want talent and perfectly constructed music and all that bullshit, you're in the wrong genre! gah! Furthermore, what does it matter if Jim Morrison could play the guitar or not? Could Bob Dylan play the saxophone? Who cares? Jim's a singer, what does it matter which instruments he can play? TheMadcapSyd, your signature makes me orgasm. Lindi
im still interetested in seeing soulrebel's writing. Cuz if its better than jim morrison's, than he's wasting his time on this message board, he should be out there changing the lives of countless teenagers as jim's "sub-standard" writing has and will continue to do.
Right so when did he call Jim's writing "substandard"...anyway Say his writing is better than Jim's that doesnt mean it will change the world. Poetry is about self expression, changing the world has little to do with it. Even if we feel Soul's writing is shit, does that matter in the great scheme of things? If his writing changes one person it is just as good as Jim's, since one person can make the difference in the world. Yet again i feel my post will be ignored. Ironic though how close-minded people on this forum are about a simple comparision bettween 2 musical groups. I guess mind expanision is dead here.
Here's my two favorites: I don't think you'd be scared if I told you I cared I love you so much baby and you have beautiful hair When I look at the moon I know it's not too soon I love you so much baby You make my heart go boom We're like apples and oranges and I get along with your mother I love the look on your face When I say we're perfect for eachother ******************************************************* Everything that I achieve you have to try and outdo Whatever I say, whatever I do it all shoots back to you Ye-----------s, I hear you callin' my name Ye----------s, I hear you callin' my name My German teacher took my innocence when I was just sixteen She was gentle, she was sweet She swept me off my feet And ye------------s, I hear you callin' my name Ye----------------------s, I hear you callin' my name [chorus] It's good to get away from your perception of me Even tho I caught you sleeping with the enemy But just to let you know, you can do what you wish 'Cos my free form flight won't be chained down The ocean water reflects your eyes But I still can't see my head The rain won't stop, the fog is deep I'd be better off dead Ye------------ah, I hear you callin' my name Aah ye---ah, I hear you callin' my name [chorus again] ************************************************ Better than Jim. And also, I'm probably already a better singer than Jim, and if I'm not, I will be within the next couple of weeks. What the fuck is the point of writing if you think your stuff sucks? I don't want to change the lives of anybody. I want to have a fun life. Music is fun. Newo: The Soft Parade was one of the worst "psychedelic" albums that came out in 1969. Waiting for the Sun, with the exception of "Spanish Caravan" and "Unknown Soldier", is right there with Soft Parade.
...I've actually read some of Chuck's lyrical stuff & I think he's a great writer, to be honest. Of course, that's just my opinion. The thing is, everyone has their own opinion regarding what makes a good writer into a good writer. So if you think Jim Morrison was a poetic god, then that's fine. If you think he was a nonsensical rambler, then that's fine too. Oh, and here's a newsflash for everyone: the Beatles had a cult following of girls, performed corny love songs early in their career, and sold the whole "pretty face" image (like the Doors/Jim Morrison & Nsync). However, the Beatles managed to mature their sound, lyrically & instrumentally as their career progressed. Maybe the Doors could have exceeded their so-called greatness if Jim Morrison had not died, but you never know. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that they were ok & maybe they could have been better or whatever.
aww yay.. thank you bah i had more to say... but who really cares thank ya again for some reason i figured you didnt like my writing
WTfBbQQ, chuck... I know you can write better things than "the snake is loooooonnngg...seeeevvvvveeennn miiiillllllleeessss!!1!" You kick ass in my book.
Jim was an amazing poet... i love all of The Doors music. In no way can i see a comparison between them and Nsync... lol
Soulrebel, not to shabby at all. I like your second poem. I find you incrediblly cocky and arrogant, but you seem to know your stuff, I think you should try and be more accepting of other people's oppinions, but i can say the same about that for all of us. ANd despite myself with each post that you post i find myself getting less and less mad at you. Your oppinion is your oppinion and you can back it up better than alot of ppl on this forum, i still dont agree with you, but god damnet, i respect you (haha ive always wanted to say that). But seriously lets end this thread soulrebel has expressed his beliefs on the issue and so has everyone else. P.S. your still not as good a writer as jim hahahah (that was suppose to be funny so dont take it out of context as you did with one or two of my other posts). but seriously who really cares at the end of the day.
heh im glad someone thought something of what i wrote. i hate N'Sync with a passion The Doors and them aren't even in the same league as each other, the doors are far superior. i dont even count n'sync as music. . in short: i was being sarcastic
Well, Noel Gallagher is the person whom I idolize most. :H I try to... but this thread was just a thread to make people mad I was bored I do. To call someone a worse writer than Jim Morrison is a huge insult.... unless they really do suck.
This whole thread seems funny. Is music a g'dmn track meet? Well would ya look at that folks, Jim's in the lead, oh wait No, no oh my god, it's the unknown, Ladies and gentleman, he's just passed JIM!!!! Hoorah! Oh wait, he's masturbating at the finish line and Jim's laughing at him. folks Jim has decided he's just going to go wander in the desert for awhile to think about this whole thing.
You've just made an enemy for life. Anyone who compares The Doors to N'sync doesn't deserve to have ears.
