I am just bored with the "they sold out" argument. It's like, enough already!
When you play Glasto in 04, why is that LESS of selling out than playing Lolla in 09? These arguments are fairly illogical, since KOL have been celebs for a long time now, just not in the US.

it's mostly US fans that have that "they sold out" argument. if you're going to hate them for something make it a logical reason! speaking of bands i hate... you can get nickelbacks album on amazon for $3.99 today! if you want your ears to bleed go buy it now!

The majority of my friends on another forum don't give a shit about KOL, but they don't tell me to shut up about them. They just said they think they're unprofessional when I mentioned things about Ahoy or Reading last year. They (and I) are all fans of System of a Down, a band that isn't much appreciated by most KOL fans either, but so long it doesn't get personal, I don't mind. I won't stop listening to music that I enjoy listening to just because someone else tells me that they think they suck.

i like sytem of a down! there's no better band to drive to when i'm pissed off!!! but i agree it isnt a popular band among kol fans. there's a big difference between: "nik i'm not speaking to you at bonnaroo because you said you dont like the whigs" and "nik you think the whigs are boring? i love them! you're crazy! "

Hahah driving to SOAD is the BEST! You don't even have to be angry. Just have to be careful not to speed all the damn time when listening to them in the car.

Hahahaahah. Apparently, examples of appropriate response ARE required.
I think getting angry over musical preferences is kind of weird, cuz it's such a personal thing. It's what speaks to your soul, to say it in a utmost corny way.
I dont hate Jared, even though i hate pretty much every band he ever lists on his "my favorite band" list--like The Cure, Joy Division and The Pixies. To me, it's all that depressing, "look at me i m a tortured soul" crap from 1983. But apparently, lots of people found them amazing.

toxicity is probably one of my favorite albums ever!
i try not to pay attention to genres or grouping of bands. like i dont stick to KOL/The Features/ The Whigs just cause they tour together and have a similar fan base. even though it may cause a lot of distress in liking a band that isn't very popular amongst another bands fan base.

Toxicity is brilliant!
And at this very moment Snow Patrol are on the radio. Now there's a band I can't stand. I know I'm a female, but damn do they make chick soft pop-rock. I'd fall asleep to them if I had to listen to more than 2 songs in a row.

Hahah, my MOM doesnt like Snow Patrol, cuz she thinks they are wussy. I think Glasvegas might sound totally different in a small setting. When they opened for KOL, they were totally lost. His voice isnt strong enough to carry over the instruments, and neither is his showmanship. So it was just disappointing. Besides, he also gave Caleb the swine flu, so you know, i have to hate him! Poor Leb could barely stand, but he still delivered! While Nacho was running back and forth with hankies.

Sigur Ros and Jonsi speak to my soul and i can't even understand them as they sing in Icelandic but the music moves me to tears sometimes,i know a lot of people don't like them and see them as boring/artsy or whatever but that's their opinion and i respect that.As for me i don't like RCHP or that band that had the *pretty fly for a white guy song,bugger what are they called

I don't get how anyone could hate Glasvegas! James is a little bundle of adorable.

Nik, your mom rocks!!! I never 'got' the older stuff by Sigur Ros, but their last album had some tracks that I like & I like what I've heard of Jonsi solo. Hahaa Jared & Matt had this old Offspring song as one of their favourites, when they did XFM Residency. I liked their older songs (like mid 90's) but nowadays, they bore me. Same with most of that 'punk' music out there.

maybe seeing glasvegas in a smaller venue on their own makes a difference. i saw them on their own and thought they were amazing but i didn't see them with kol to compare.

I cant say i "hate" Glasvegas. It just wasnt impressive on stage. Again, perhaps a club setting would work better for them.

the offspring used to be a good band like their first couple albums until that pretty fly for a white guy shit i think nirvana is an overrated band (not to speak ill of the dead). i just was never into them. i like some individual songs but overall i just dont see what was so amazing about them.
