yeah, then you start liking real music like The Arctic Monkeys and The Arcade Fire. ;)
 
Damn, SonOF hasn't been posting much lately and he comes out of nowhere with the big guns. :D
 
Sorry to all u Kurt Cobain fans (i love Nirvana) ... but i think Nirvana is WAY over-rated. Alice in Chains is at least an equal or maybe even better than Nirvana ever was but dont get the praise they deserve. Once again i say Layne Staley!
 
^ thank you. i never really came out fully with my virulent hatred for all things nirvana, especially in the respective thread in this forum but fuck man what has the world come to when a gutter fuck smacktard loser gets that much recognition (stfu i own the discog and yes i own tons of music i dont listen to). alice in chains is about 10000x better than nirvana...

blah off topic... but kurt cobain is about as creative a writer as my auntie's cockatrice (and it can even sing the andy griffith show theme!)

Your aunt owns a fucking Cockatrice? Does she wear mirrored sunglasses all the time?

You hit with the Cockatrice.
The Wood Elf turn to stone.
 
James Taylor

Jt is so cool, his music is so soothing. And you'd never have known he struggled for years with a major heroin addiction!

f that im a fucking orc shaman! ight i apologize for derailing the thread i diddnt mean to turn this into a this band > that band thing ...

srsly now tho, im really trying hard to think of lyrics with a more creative and picturesque quality than Clutch's. Its like Dr Suess meets Winston Churchill meets Billy Grahm meets Timothy Leary.

Phil Anselmo has some highly intelligible lyrics seething with the wisdom of down-to-earth reality. He is one of the most notorious drug users (addicts) in the music industry, and I blame that for why there isnt a fucking third Down album yet...

Pete Steele (not sure of he is the lyricist but at least the singer) of Type O Negative has some very creative play on the whole heroin chic/emotionless drama style of writing and composition. Its a total mockery of depression, songs like "Everything Dies" make me piss myself when they get all emo. Not the best of the basket or anything i just feel Type O was worth a mention.

How could anyone forget WHITE ZOMBIE?. Now IMO post-White-Zombie Rob Zombie is a talentless hack preying on the minds of the underexposed masses and exploiting the fact that 80% of the american population listens to shit music (thats an actual fact man i read it on google!). But White Zombie was one of the best bands out there. Extremely creative with music and even more creative with lyrics. Check the lyrics to a song like "Blur The Technicolor" and read them as the music is being played (imo lyrics lose half their value without the music).

Not sure if anyone mentioned him (them) yet, but Jimi Hendrix has some really whacky stuff. The lyrics to Are You Experienced? are amongst my favorites to quote.

Acid Bath has some really creative stuff (Sister I been trippin in your skies... in a technicolored bliss 10 million miles high... you scream, I scream, everybody screams for morphene)

of course with that, just check this entire thread cuz every band in there is gonna have some good lyrical poetry: click deez

i hope i dont recieve any metal-flames but i love manowar's lyrics (eric adams is THE MAN on pipes and on paper). theyre like a great chuck norris movie. always accompanied by a flask of ale or mead.

shit, actually, may as well leave metal out of this. it doesnt get any more fucked up than gore metal. for its creativity alone, the genere is unmatched in all realms of horror.

Glen Danzig, ableit being a bit on the trite side, has some funny lyrics too. I used to run around goin "WELL I TURNED IN, TO A MARTIAN! WHOO OOOH OH!" when i was younger.


oh and gotta throw Tom Araya of Slayer out there (well he doesnt write all the lyrics). It wasnt untill about the early 90s that slayer started putting a tiny bit of intelligent meaning into their lyrics, but during the 80s they have some extreme writing skills. Its a well known fact that slayer is rarely not-drunk. Anytime ive seen them live they performed flawlessly after downing what seemed like an entire bar. But lyrics on Reign in Blood are rediculous, no rapper alive or dead can rhyme better/faster than Tom Araya. "Dittohead" (Divine Intervention) remains amongst my all time favorite punk/metal songs for lyrics, excellent meaning behind the song and the classic slayer ability to rhyme any word int he english language with another meaningful word.

oh and btw - i dug this out of my quote library:

"A drug is neither moral nor immoral--it's a chemical compound. The compound itself is not a menace to society until a human being treats it as if consumption bestowed a temporary license to act like an asshole."
--Frank Zappa

yeah, la sexorcisto was really fucking good. basically every song on that album is good.

you know you're a "fucked up", "stoned out" songwriter when you write a song titled "welcome to planet motherfucker".

btw, why did rob break up the band? and wtf ever happened to jay (the guitarist)?



p.s. you're wrong about jim morrison.

he's one of the best fucked up, stoned out song writers.

songs like "people are strange" and "riders on the storm" (murderer hitchhiker) are wonderfully fucked up and stoned out song subjects.

or the song "peace frog" where he sings "pass me the blade to chop off my fingers".

if you're singing about chopping off your fingers you are fucked up and stoned out.
 
ok, i just thought of a really good 1.

not sure if he was fucked up/stoned out/totally wasted.

but he wrote some of the most insane lyrics ever.

Captain Beefheart.
 
^ haha, welcome to the planet motherfucker sounds semi-normal next to something like "El phantasmo and the Chicken Blast-O-Rama" or "Spiderbaby (yeah yeah yeah)" or "Grease, Paint and Monkey Brains." white zombie rules (ruled).

from what i understand there was much drama between varying members of white zombie, and rob zombie wanted to experiment in a multi-media form (ie movies and animations and the like) and the rest of th eband did not want to. they actually stayed around a lot longer than "Astrocreep:2000," recorded a lot of songs most not making it to publication (or whatever the appropriate term is). One of their best songs IMO is "Feed the Gods," from the Airheads soundtrack, or "I am Hell" from the Beavis and Butthead Do America soundtrack. They are shown performing "Feed the Gods" live in the movie Airheads because they just randomly made the song during a show on tour one time and the crowd loved it, so when asked to give a song for the movie they were like heres this new one we just cooked up. Also, did you notice the artwork when Beavis and Butthead trip on peyote in the above mentioned film? Im pretty sure Rob Zombie either animated that or directed the animation, one or the other. Ahhh it saddens me, the great things this band could have done. All Rob Zombie's movies are carny trash a 12 year old could think up and his solo music appeals to the same audience. He needs to start dropping sheets of acid again lol.

In my NSHO, anyone who is creative and original will seem "fucked up" to normalites... unless we're only talking about the drug/liquor fucked.
