i think that it is the advertising, and i agree with you about the 90s kind of pulling all of the focus away from the rest of the band.

guys like Dan Vickrey of the counting crows and mark bryan of hootie and the blowfish didn't really get much credit, in lieu of the lead singers being pushed to the forefront. Today i couldn't even name a guitarist other than dan auerbach sp? from the black keys, or jack white... and they are also the leads singers... I recognize the A7X guy, but before this thread couldn't have told you his name.

 

 

 

the last band that actually had great musicians (and i could name each member of in entirity) was Rage Against the machine.

 

Zach de la rocha on vocals

Tom morello with insane riffs... each CD had the disclaimer: all sounds are made by guitar, there is no mixing or synth

Timmy C (commerford sp?) very underrated bassist

Brad Wilk... he was just insane

 

then obviously soundgarden douche came in and the band was OK... granted not near the level of RATM imo...

 

 Black Swan allows her to toe jam an ice pick into my ears. That beaver has arms.

 

 Shut up Old Maid!

 

  Old Maid = Meg

Then i got to thinking... what is the value of each person killed...

In Rocky IV Dolph killed Apollo Creed... should that count as killing 10 normal men? (does Dolph get another bonus for doing it right after a smooth little diddy by James Brown?)

Then that got me thinking, Ahhhnold killed the predator... does that count as like 100 Apollo Creeds?

Back to Rocky IV, Dolph and Stallone collectively killed communism... what's that worth?

Harrison Ford gets all the glory because after Star Wars, he went on to be a studly stud megastar. Just to keep the record straight, yes, it was Mark Hamill who blew up the Death Star so he gets credit for all of 'em.

i suppose the thread does say 'action hero'... Sorry Hamill

This whole situation makes me really angry with BOTH parties...

On one hand you have the whole BS cover-up, which seems to be a bullsh1t attempt not to lose favor prior to the election. It still goes on to this day to save face for the democratic party and all who stand for it (especially with house/ senate seats on the line.)
Dems are big pieces of sh1t.

Then you have the republican answer... i'll sum this up using a Huckabee quote Huck on Benghazi

Huckabee, however, said his predication about Obama “will not happen” if the Democrats seize control of the House and retain control of the Senate next year.“If they’re able to get control of the House and maintain the Senate, this will not happen because they won’t let it happen,” Huckabee said.

“And they won’t let it happen not because they’re protecting just the president, they’re trying to protect their entire political party. If they try to protect the president and their party, and do so at the expense of the truth, their president and their party will go down. Now, here’s what I’m going to suggest will happen — as the information and facts begin to come out, it will become so obvious that there was a concerted and very, very deliberate attempt to mislead this country and its people to lie to Congress, as well as to you.”

And as the truth about the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi emerges, Huckabee said, “they will have lost the right to govern.”

maybe i'm cynical, but this seems more like a rally cry to vote more republicans into office than to find the truth and ensure something like benghazi doesn't happen again. Seems like the focus is on who wins these precious house/senate seats rather than the state of our country. Republicans are turds. What are their motives? Where are their loyalties? It all seems pretty clear to me. Politcal parties are out to serve themselves... not this country; not its people...
