Coldplay is a proper noun, it should be capitalised. The drummers name is Joey Jordison. Mushroomhead is a proper noun and should be capitalised. Mike Portnoy has played in:

Liquid Tension

Experiment

Transatlantic

Flying Colors

The Winery Dogs

Metal Allegiance

Sons of Apollo

BPMD

Dream Theater

OSI

Cygnus and the Sea Monsters

Yellow Matter Custard

Avenged Sevenfold

Adrenaline Mob

So you're wrong there too.

Do you mean "I'll" as in the contraction for "I will"? If so you've missed an apostrophe and there really should be a full stop at the end of that sentence.

This, by the way, is really basic grammar that anyone 12 years old and a native English speaker should know. Either you're as educated as an under-12, are under-12 or only capable of learning to that level. Either way you really shouldn't be accusing others of a lack of cognitive ability. Anyway that's it, if you think a 4/4 drummer like Joey Jordison is better than any other 4/4 drummer then you're really not well educated when it comes to music.

Reply to I need a new band to get into!! by Ashamed_Ad_8235

Check out Algiers. Kind of a dark, electronic-infused take on the post-punk genre, a singer with a great kind of gritty old-R&B voice. They just put out a new record this week and Zach from RATM guests on a song, so there's the connection to something you're into already.

Maybe I wasn't paying attention to coldplay but clearly you weren't paying attention, I didn't call Joey Jordanson the "greatest drummer of all time" I said he was better than the mushroomhead drummer. If you compared them you'd agree.

Mike Portnoy is an amazing drummer too bad the bands he plays for are play boring drawn out prog metal.

Clearly you weren't paying attention when it was all over the news that Coldplay were doing that Jordan gig, it was hard to ignore and framed as a good thing (though some real journalists did question the hypocrisy of flying the band and crew out to Jordan just to highlight the fact).

AFI totally sold out and i saw them live a few years ago and everything was post - Girl's Not Grey, they'd gone full emo and ignored anything before then even though I'd only stopped at the stage to hear earlier stuff live. There's plenty of bands that have changed their style that will play their earlier music too because they haven't sold out, they've evolved and embrace their entire back catalogue.

Slipknot are exactly what they are portrayed to be, without the masks and stage setup they'd be barely anything, their drummer is hardly the best drummer in the world. Clearly you need to see Mike Portnoy, Johanne James, Nicko McBrain or pretty much any other drummer in that realm to be honest.

As for "murder simulator" that's the term the likes of Jack Thompson use but he, and groups that protest each GTA game launch, have all been led on by Max Clifford's PR company, he's said so, Rockstar have said so, they paid for the campaign, it worked and it's still working. As they say there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Clearly though you don't peek behind the curtain much to see what is behind a certain story or feature, you should as Sick Of It All said "scratch the surface, serve a purpose", or don't, you could just donate your eyes to science instead.

Reply to Which artist would get a reaction like this today? by Different_Insect_611

Our amount of content available and cultural changes due to that would make this basically impossible for any celebrity to achieve in the modern world.

Swift would be the closest American and I don’t think you’d get close to this. It’s a product of an older era. Elvis, Beatles, Michael Jackson - the Internet has diversified our preferences so much that this phenomenon is unlikely to happen ever again

People were being force fed this content because, it was all they had - listen to one of a few dozen radio stations or turn on one of a few dozen TV stations.

Now, it’s pick from thousands of artists, music or movies or games, entertainment has exploded in a way you can create your own little “sphere” of entertainment that actually does, in a way, cater to your personal taste. You’re never exposed to content you didn’t specifically request.

I doubt this level of fascination being pervasive is possible to reach now or in the future, unless we have a technological decline, and our choices become stifled again like they were in the second half of the 1900s

Also, economic crash thats sustained for years and years could get us back to this sort of place

But, all things being equal, if the status quo is more or less maintained with access to technology, and economies dont absolutely shatter; this likely isnt in the cards to happen again.
