music thread

I don’t intentionally listen to top 40s. I never knew he existed and now he exists only by his death to me.

Let’s be clear: X was a terrible person, and I dislike most of his music. But I think we can all agree that 20 years old is far too young for anybody to die.

@Josh103  
He was pretty much a meme artist.

@LightningBolt  
Same, I feel old as fuck now.

@Josh103  
Seems to be the case for a lot of people, so that’s not a surprising thing to declare.
 
@TheHappySpaceman  
Oh he was a shitty person, but he didn’t deserve his fate at all. Also, I didn’t think his recent album was that bad

Don’t you just hate it when you’re getting into a really awesome band, but realize that they’ve retired and thus you will never be able to see them live?

@TheHappySpaceman  
All the fucking time!

@ILoveMyoozik  
See also: Me with Rush, Pink Floyd, MCR (I didn’t get into them until after their breakup), and a few other bands I can’t think of RN.
 
At least I managed to see Soundgarden before Chris Cornell’s death.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Yup. Not like I’ve ever to a concert anyway.

@TheHappySpaceman  
I wish I can see Rolling Stones in concert, but it looks like they’re gonna retire soon.

@LightningBolt  
I love going to concerts, but I usually don’t have the money.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Who knows with them? I’m honestly surprised Mick and Keith aren’t dead by now, considering that they’re pretty much always on drugs.
 
Anyway, Queen also technically counts as a band I will never get to see live. I know they’re still going on with a new lead singer, but… it’s just not the same. :’(

@TheHappySpaceman  
Same goes for Ozzy, the dude is the friggin Terminator!

For me it’s more that there won’t be any more music from them. At least for MCR all the members are doing solo stuff at varying levels. (Especially Frank) But Midtown? The Academy Is…? Cobra Starship? Nothin’.

@LightningBolt  
I genuinely hope you’re talking about Cobra Starship’s stuff before “Good Girls Go Bad.”
 
@ILoveMyoozik  
Right?! At this point, I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if the drugs are the only thing that’s keeping him alive!

@TheHappySpaceman  
All of it, mate, but especially the first two albums.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Hey “Good Girls Go Bad” is a good song!! >:(
 
I heard that the reason why Ozzy is still alive even after years of heavy drug use and alcohol drinking is because of his blood or some shit.

I’m glad I got to see Rush. =p
 
Sadly, I missed out on Slayer though.

@Hypnosryan  
How were they?
 
@ILoveMyoozik  
Eh, not a huge fan of it due to overplay in my area. And honestly, Ozzy is an animal.
 
@LightningBolt  
Are the first two albums more pop or more rock?

@TheHappySpaceman  
They’re more.
 
Uhh.
 
Cobra Starship.
 
Look I’m not good at genres.

@LightningBolt  
*shrug*
 
On another note, it’s nice to see that prog and prog-influenced stuff is making a comeback with bands like Dream Theater and Muse.

@TheHappySpaceman  

 
All too often.

@pixel  
Saaaaaaaame.

I like way too many 70s and 80s punk bands that are no longer around and whose only concerts I will see are crappy old VHS footage.
