Greatest hits compilations/radio stations that play edited versions.

i used to say that. ask around.

Recordings with gated reverb on the snare drum (even if its from the 80s) Very few exceptions. A real drum kit shouldn't sound like a fucking drum machine. This really pisses me off.

Predictable, trite lyrics and rhyme schemes. (rhyming here with fear, love with above, you with "I do" or something similar... ya get the idea)

Uber-prog/tech Metal bands that people are always blowing their loads over, but all I hear is a bunch of random chugging riffs in fucked up, wacky time signatures repeated over and over again. (Job For A Cowboy comes to mind, as well as certain Meshuggah albums.)

Metal bands with too many 'chug' parts. Take your palm off the fucking strings and let some notes ring! Groove out! Dazzle me with some sweet single note riffage! COME ON!

People who try to defend Metallica's Black Album.

Mars Volta and Muse type noodle-prog shit.

Brokencyde and Millionares type shit.

Recent female solo artists.

Overuse/misuse of guitar effects.

Beatles covers.

The fact that everyone and their brother owns a Led Zeppelin t-shirt.

The fact that everyone and their brother owns a Misfits "crimson ghost" logo shirt.

Tool fans.

Anything that is currently on Top 40 Radio.



There are many, many more....

I say Christian Rap, they go away. NOBODY wants to hear or talk about Christian rap. Ever. They want to get as far away from anyone who does as fast as possible.

Chamillionaire.



For fuck sake, go die. And take your shit song with you.
