maybe it's just me, but i think darrell's guitar adds much more to pantera than phil's vocals... that, and guitarists tend to be primary song-writers in bands (though pantera claims song-writing credits as a collective)

and on topic:

rush + the strokes + rod stewart = sonic torture

mystmarimatt

Korn - Jonathan Davis = something actually listenable.

Therefore:
Roger Waters = David Gilmour - Pink Floyd + Pink Floyd
Roger Waters = David Gilmour
So they're the same person

i agree though, both equally talented

by the by, i think it should be Pink Floyd - the members?

Derwood

No. I meant Gilmour w/o the rest of Floyd is equal to Waters w/o the rest of Floyd. The solo material isn't horrible, but the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Or, to put it mathematically, Pink Floyd > David Gilmour+Roger Waters+Richard Wright+Nick Mason

I think you might need to brush up on your math.

if Korn - Jonathan Davis = 0, then Korn = Jonathan Davis.
In other words, he is the band. Most probably a compliment to him, not a dis...


Sort of like NiN - Trent Reznor = 0.

You have no idea how hilarious that was to me.

The Sex Pistols - Any and all things that punk music stands for (i.e. revolution, social inequity, damning the establishment) + the lyrical talent of your average 10 year old boy = Good Charlotte, Starting Line, Newfound Glory, Sum 41, AFI, The Get Up Kids

Need I go on?

TheClarkster

Yes, perhaps you should go on about why the hell AFI is included in there. They don't really claim to be punk as far as I know, and I met the guys.

Shit = once pefectly good food that has decayed for a while

I was going to wax indignant, but now that I think about it, that's a more appropriate equation than I had initially given it credit for being, so let's do it this way:

Aerosmith - 20 years = Rolling Stones - 30 years = (The Strokes + Nickleback) * 10 + Phish

Music World - Faith No More = No shitty Numetal bands.

kutulu

Ohh, those are fighting words, lol

You can't blame FNM for Nu-Metal. The people that deserve the blame are Rage against the Machine and the Beastie Boys. FNM never rapped.

Redlemon

What about Epic? I'd consider that just as much "rap" as RatM, or better yet Red Hot Chili Peppers. Somewhere between rap and funk.

God of Thunder

Alice Cooper - talent - any hint of originality = Marilyn Manson


Music in general - talent - good writing - actual instruments = today's pop music.

Personally, I think there is a lot more to rap than just rhyming.

Redlemon

OK, the definition I'm using for "rapping" is "recitation of the lyrics rhythmically without singing".

I define "rap" as "a songwriting form where the artist refers to himself by name and insults other rappers by name".

However, I'm interested to know how you draw your line between Faith and Rage. I'd drop them in the same genre, personally.

kutulu

FNM's music varies a lot from album to album. They became more diverse as time went on also. They go from typical rock songs (

Hell, with that definition you could call Cannibal Corpse rap! The Slayer's Necrophobic Born of Fire fit that also.

That's a nice def.! For me, rap is just as much about image and attidue as it is about music. That's why I have much less respect for a rapper than an actual musician.

Now, I only know Rage from their radio songs, but to me it seemed like all of their songs followed the same formula:
"funky" guitar sounds during verse -> "metal" guitars during chorus.

FNM was totally diverse. Their songs fell into the "traditional" catagories of straight forward rock, metal, jazzy stuff, electronic, ballads, mellow atmospheric stuff, melodic rock, rappy stuff (as some say), lounge singer type stuff, and really wierd shit.

Anyways, back on topic:

Axl + Duff + Slash = Guns N Roses
Axl + a bunch of replacemente (does not)= Guns N Roses

rev_skarekroe

Faith No More + masks = Mushroomhead
