Yes they do.

Would explain Papa Roach

Shane from The Walking Dead. His ruthless* mongrel is needed for the coming September Apocalypse. F@%k Rick Grimes.

*Apologies.

Be careful though because he'll probably end up ****ing one of the players missus.

Everyone everywhere loves the music they listened to as teenagers.

In 50 years some old fella somewhere will be driving his grandkids to a fishing trip and they'll be listening to Thrift Shop and Kings of Leon on his mix tape.

You're forgetting that they've been broken up for a decade bar a few years of reunion stuff.

They'd sell 10,000 tickets in Adelaide without too much trouble. They aren't the Foo Fighters in terms of popularity but they are a pretty massive band.

Agree. The Big Day Out that RATM were at 6-7 years ago sold out in record time.

And I've never seen a crowd get into it so much at a Big Day Out (which surprised me considering they didn't do much on stage).

All the way to the back there were moshpits, it was insane.

 

[Papa G]

Again, I like RATM, I just don't think they have the body of work that puts them up in the super group/sell out a stadium type stratosphere. Bands that I would have way higher than them (and this does not reflect my own preferences) which have a similar body of work are The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Nirvana and even Oasis. I just don't think RATM is at that level of a) popularity and b) pop culture consciousness.

Wow.

 

[Papa G]

Wow.

Zakk, I understand you have a major hard on for RATM, and that is cool, but that love isn't as widespread as you may believe.

My Business partner thinks Toto are are the greatest band of all time, and Steve Lukather is the greatest guitarist of all time, is he right? Of course he isn't, but he genuinely believes it.

They'd be in my top half a dozen bands, but not the top.

The debate started with who are actually "stadium" bands these days... I said that they were.

If they toured here, there's no question the Ent Cent would sell out, no question..... That's all I'm saying.

PS. Steve Lukather is pretty good

 

[El_Scorcho]

RATM could easily do a Hindmarsh Stadium type gig.

I don't think 25,000 is out of the question at all.

I've never understood the status Nirvana has enjoyed. Picking Cobain at no.12 is stunning in it's lack of understanding

Nirvana deserve every bit of praise they get, teen spirit is arguably THE song of the past 25 years.

Coming off a decade of hair metal and competing with the likes of MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and New Kids On The Block?

Can't imagine why.

They killed the guitar solo for an extended period of time. I will forever hate them for that.

Kurt Cobain in that link is no. 12 because of MC Hammer?

 

[Forzaport]

Apologies now for the Taylor Swift song.

Is it just my imagination or is music getting worse?
