RANT- Popular Bands/Artists I Love to Hate

Join host Pete Pardo for his latest rant, this time he rattles off a selection of bands/artists on his 'no sir, I don't like 'em' list! #thisbandsucks #neverneedtohearthemagain

Early Bon Jovi is good though but they sold out later on and never got better basically

[@sageguitar70]

The guy will do anything to be relevant and popular. He did a country album for God's sake! Plus he was a fixture in the band Scandal before his own band broke out. He's a total tool.

[@CardinalsXerces]

Agreed, Bon Jovi is terrible. I saw them open for Ratt back in the day and they were awful, still to this day the worst live band I have ever seen.

[@rob16248]

I see what you're saying. He headlined at Castle Donington 1987. Whenever the MC mentioned his name, the crowd booed. I left after Dio's set to get the shuttlebus back to Derby. There were loads of headbangers doing the same.

You must be a homely dude . Because all unattractive men just hate Bon Jovi . Nickel Bach is awful . The only thing worse than 1990 - 2005 Metallica is the bands that made careers out of trying to capture that 1990 - 2005 Metallica sound

[@simplechronology2605]

I was with you every step of the way, but then you hit REM. You gotta understand that their hits (which often were indeed sappy) all came after they moved to Warner Brothers for one of the biggest advances ever at that time. Their indie stuff on IRS remains some of the most gorgeous and unique music of the 1980's; enigmatic, elegiac, energetic, well-played and arranged, and unlike anyone active at the time (and the Byrds/Velvets comparisons were very overcooked). Any of their first four albums could make my top-10 lifetime favorites. Not for everyone, I suppose. Oh, and that Dylan guy sure is good (except for a few disasters). But the rest of your list could have easily been my own.

[@Ed-cc7do]

Agreed, if you don’t like REM you basically have no taste in music. Thems the breaks.

Yes .. 100% agree. He has a fantastic voice .. great band/great singer.

[@jameskennedy721]

Dylan between 62 and 1978 was astounding . After that , embarrassing at best . I also used to hate the voice . I changed my mind . I now LOVE his singing on most of those albums . Give the King another chance !

[@ilyachernitsky1902]

I agree , although some of his late nineties early 2000’s albums are decent

[@ddzyne]

Sometimes voices just grate on people and I get that. I really hate Elvis Costello's voice and actually Mick Jagger has never done it for me either but that's just our personal ear and I don't fault anyone who can stand them. I personally love a lot of Dylan's singing through the years and he seems to have rubbed off on Tom Petty significantly. cheers

[@jameskennedy721]

@@ddzyne I like Jaggers vocals , but then the 1960's for me is a big deal . I like RADIO RADIO by Costello but he hasnt done anything good for decades . That Ive ever heard .

[@PFB1994]

My intro to Dylan was the covers are great, Dylan's version - not as much. I changed my mind. I even prefer All Along the Watchtower by Dylan over Hendrix now. And when you put into context 1965 what Dylan had going on with Mike Bloomfield on lead guitar, he was pretty hard rocking by the standard of the time.

[@seekah1]

His teaming up with Lanois was some of the best music he's ever made, a fucking brilliant producer.

[@charlesottowilliamwade5328]

We all feel so much of a range of emotions. Like and dislikes. The bands are in fact as he says. He still is a positive man . He used this video as an outlet to relate with his fans . I for one totally agree with him and also think being positive is a healthy choice. He clearly said he doesn’t talk about this on his channel much and per multiple requests made this.

[@tree7909]

In my opinion they are over rated but really good nonetheless remember in my opinion

[@joeylyons4549]

Such a true statement. Axl Rose. The most over rated douche bag in history. If I hear Welcome to the Jungle. Sweet child o mine or Paradise City one more time I’m gonna become a bridge jumper

[@wenndingofoster5680]

Axl( Asshole ) Rose was rude to the crowd and just like the SEPULTURA - Morbid Visions album the guitar players never bothered to tune their instruments together . People paid a lot of money to get treated like shit by a band that was too fucked up to play in tune or even in time . The best Guns n Roses shows were the cancelled ones

[@brucefranklin6295]

This made me laugh and I can't disagree on any of them.

[@TheTVisions]

Same here, I don't like a single artist mentioned by Pete. Motley Crue at #1 have a few cool songs but at least someone like Blackie Lawless could be called a real musician which is why he's in W.A.S.P. and not Motley Crue, I guess. Alice Cooper once said there's a danger to Crue that he liked, he was probably speaking about their early days and bad boy image. Another band I don't get, is Radiohead and U2 lost me decades ago, haven't listened to them since 1985.

[@JohnnyRecently]

What Bruce said^^^^

[@colina1821]

[@TheTVisions]

@Tank MacNamara I like some of that.

[@mikereiss4216]

@Club Soda It gets old after a while. There are other kinds of music besides just hard rock and heavy metal.

[@kinesjl]

I agree with each and every one of these. I would add to that list Hootie and the Blowfish, the Indigo Girls, and Coldplay. The 90s, in general, had very little that I enjoyed as well, punk is musical anathema to me and pop punk is hell on earth. That was the first decade where I completely tuned out the contemporary and the mainstream and listened solely to prog, fusion, and older music.

[@HoriaNeagu]

I have always respected punk for its cultural impact and historical legacy. Musically, however, no other genre has tried so hard to convince everyone that you don't need to know how to play instruments to start a musical revolution.

[@MartinMcCauslin]

I saw Nickelback at a festival years ago and the show was in a parking lot and 20 minutes into their set several people had to be transported to the hospital for splitting their heads on the pavement and the lead singer told us we were all idiots - like 4 or 5 people represented the intelligence of the entire crowd...I was blown away by the music (they were new then, not tired and old) but I never liked them after he insulted us.

[@ericroche4550]

After that they lost their magic unfortunately and never really developed musically.

You literally listed a who's who of popular bands that us younger X geners, now in our early to mid 40s, were inundated with on MTV from the time we were in the 6th grade up through college. I got into most of the bands you listed for like a minute when I was younger, when adolescent group conformity, peer pressure, and a recording industry hell-bent on marketing this stuff to our generation specifically, sort of brainwashed me into acting like I liked music I really didn't that much at all, but then eventually I went, "okay where did I place my Rush and Zeppelin albums?" And then I was reformed.

Also, I am so sick of bands like Pearl jam, GnR and Nirvana that literally have so little material, and then they are considered gods etc. Compared to so many of the bands that you speak of that have profound legacy, and extremely deep discogrophies to get no respect to these one hit wonders is a crime.

Pretty spot on! Totally agree with most of this video. Quite like Chronic Town through to Green by REM but agree they lost it in the nineties. Oddly Oasis usually had their best songs as b-sides: Acquiesce is their best record.

[@alwilson3204]

Kudos for making these statements- these bands also helped lead to the deterioration and destruction of rock and roll, along with many good established old bands that for whatever reason, mostly quit releasing albums with good production and quality publishing, or very intermittently over the last 20-30 years. Truly sad.

I mean I like stuff like Bathory, Venom, Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate alot. But KISS's music never resonated with me personally. I'm sure many disagree with me and that's fine. Everyone likes the music they like for certain reasons.

[@milomirmaksimovic3279]

@@ObsidianBlaze9 I understand you. From modern perspective you would expect from their image that Kiss are into black metal. But the fact is when they appeared in 74' they called them American Black Sabbath - loud, hard music, shocking image, candles and fire...many religious groups protested against them, they had to cancel some tours in South America...they have their part in rock evolution, it took some time for some genres to be born. For example, i really like Bathory, but I dont care much for Venom and Mercyful Fate, although I know they had influence on many great bands.

[@martinlundberg5308]

The thing with KISS is: listen to Paul Stanley's songs and skip most of the Gene Simmons tunes. Paul was an excellent glam rock singer and songwriter up until around 2000. Gene was always an average singer with a croaky voice and his songwriting extremely generic (with a few exceptions of course like Unholy and his songs on Lick It Up).

[@misternewoutlook5437]

You never mention U2 very much or haven't done an album rank about. I knew they were always good, but for some reason I stuck them in mish mash of commercial bands. You know, like the some of the ones you mention. However, when "Achtung Baby" came out, there was no way I could ever say a bad word about them. Yes, still commercial and all that, but that very interesting album hit a creative peak I certainly didn't expect. That said, I'm still not a big fan of U2, but I certainly could not deny their importance from that point on.

[@CourteousKitsch]

The reason a lot of bands in the 90s irritate people like you and me is because they were "products." Their image, their music, was all designed by formulae that record companies felt was attractive to young people based on a whole host of things that had been tried before. The antihero front man, a tragic figure struggling to keep his bangs out of his face as well as addiction. That sort of thing. When Generation Y rediscovered the Beatles, then every British pop group had to have a vocalist that whined like Lennon. I was dragged around to so many of these concerts in the 90s and early 2000s, and wanted to puke everytime I would see the whole audience jump up and down like my 8-year-old when I would tell him we're going to an amusement park. That jumping thing was a specific kind of behavior for fans of skater rock and pop punk of the era, like headbanging and "devil horns" were for metal, I guess. But anyway, you named all the bands and kind of music that drives me nuts. I also agree about Bob Dylan, but I must confess that his later albums, when he started growling more like Dr. John, really have started to grow on me. Thanks for the fun show and the memories!

The rant on more modern music is more of an indictment as to the state of the industry itself. They aren't willing to take chances on new bands like they would in the 70's.

Makes one wonder if we'll ever hear the thunder of a Moon, the lyrics of Fagen and Becker, the screams of a Gillan or the re-defining sounds of Jimi. The 70's were a time of experimentation and the diversification of sound was instantly recognizable and mainly unique. Take prog for an example, no one would ever confuse the sounds of Yes, King Crimson, ELP or Tull.
