I've always felt RATM and Green Day were extremely overrated. Especially Green Day. But that's just my opinion.

RATM is amazing. Finally saw them live 2 years ago and it was cathartic. Toured with RTJ. I've only been to 2 shows in my life where the entire crowd stood and sang the entire time, not a minute of rest, and that was one of them.

My favorite moment was the family behind us. The dad was holding on swaying with his handicapped son. Probably 10-13 years old. The kid knew every word, as did the dad. The kid was going ham. It looked like the most amazing bonding moment for both. That's what music is about. Then I looked around...we had 10,000 folks doing the same. It was beautiful.

Never knew if I'd get to check that box off my bucket list. It lived up to everything.

90s took 80s commercialism over the edge. Both decades were pretty disgraceful for music and culture in a variety of ways. There was plenty of good underground and counterculture though. But the mainstream became extreme commercialism and materialism...image.

Not much better in the last 40 years than mid to late 80’s Guns

Absolutely, two of THE worst most overrated bands in history. Nirvana had one song unplugged. 'Man who sold the world' Was great, but was a cover. Foo Fighters suck ass.

Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Blind Melon...

And Foo Fighters keeps rearing their ugly head now. As soon as I see them or their ilk, I switch over to a different channel.

4th in the country in team ERA

They literally think that stat means nothing...they are that ignorant.

These baseball dummies do not really understand the game, and our insane success the last few seasons having been pretty much all the baseball they have really ever seen much of...it has given them extremely disjointed perceptions of baseball reality.

It's just my opinion, but if I had the opportunity I'd go to one of their shows. The music gets me hype for sure. I'm just not as big on them as do many others are.

You gonna beat someone with your walker, granny?

No, but I bet I can still knock someone down with my fist. Has happened before, true story. I still bet on me, now where and not at the paper mill Waffle House. I don’t want to sully their name. Unlike the one at Lenoir City, try going there after 2:30 am. The crap you see, makes you set down, order the smothered and covered and just watch the show. I went there a few years back. Saw a ‘he/she (mostly he) spreading their wealth and lo and behold, there’re quite a few drunk men buying into it. No need to worry, it didn’t interfere with my breakfast. I figured a breakfast and a show!

Seems like that was the story all the way back to preseason. I think they've done very well, considering the early worries. Probably is still the weakest link of the team. . . then again, I don't really know much about baseball.

4th in ERA...and IIRC separated from 1st by .07 which basically means that over the whole season we gave up maybe 2-3 more earned runs than Arky 🤷‍♂️....SO...pretty much as big of a strength of the team that a strength of a team can get.


To make this easier for your football tuned brain...if our football offense is top 5 and our defense is top 5...we wouldn't say that ourdefense was a/the weak link would we?

I HATE the grunge movement. That includes Nirvana, yes I said it. Foo Fighters songs sounds the same as being stuck in the early 2000.

I loved the grunge movement but felt Nirvana was a little overrated. I actually preferred STP, AIC and Soundgarden to Nirvana.

There was a lot of good music from that era.
