Crue haven't been 'glam' since circa 1986 - between the 'Theatre of Pain' and 'Girls Girls Girls' LPs. Nowadays, they are more 'sleaze rock'
Although I have seen Nirvana, Mudhoney, Babes in Toyland, I really don't know much about the whole 'Grunge' movement. Similarly, although I might know the name 'Rammstein', Slipknot' and 'Limp Biscuit', I really don't know a lot about the music they perform
My 'formative' years were 1980 - 1990 (i.e the NWOBHM and the birth of thrash). However, because I was so narrow-minded back in those days, there are a lot of rock bands that I didn't give the time of day to, because they didn't have a 'traditional English sound', or they didn't play 'a million miles an hour'!
To be honest, during this time, I discounted Alice as a good artist for the simple reason he didn't fit in with the two examples above!
Now I have 'grown up', I am more willing to listen to different bands, but I am sure there are still people who are like the person I used to be
Oh - a lot of people like Mutley Crow because of the 'tits' - witness the Tommy-Cam segment on the 'Carnival of Sins' DVD. Alice is much more mature than that! |
Don't take this the wrong way please as it's not meant to be an insult but your use of narrow minded does seem a perfect fit. You don't like new Who because it's not old Who as an example.
Every rock fan i know has always moved with the times and music, whilst also sticking by their old favourites. Your dismissal of most things that aren't
The Who or
Alice does tend to work against you at times.
If people just like Crue because of the tits as you put it, then they may as well just listen to rap.
I've probably phrased it all very badly, but absolutely no insult is intended Suzi.
