Did you like Rush or Van Halen or King Crimson?

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

Rush has some ok stuff.

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

I think what it is, is that bands like Rush are a lot more fun. Sure they have over the top cheesy stuff, but it's like woo hoo! kickass right on! Etc. Metallica tries to be all serious and they think they're doing really serious important shit. And its still cheesy. The combination = douche bags.

[yes-justice.livejournal.com]

Yep. Entirely to self-serious. Harry Shearer did some nice parodies of them back in the day.

Probably shouldn't mention I like industrial, they can be a bit overly serious sometimes ._.;

I always thought prog rock bands were pretty much serious about their stuff, didn't they want to make rock-n-roll on par with classical music?

who am I kidding the 80's was cheesy and a bit pretentious

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

I like quite a bit of industrial myself. Again I feel there is a fine line between cheesy but its ok and cheesy unintentionally, or not cheesy though.

KMFDM: cheesy but they do it right.

oh yes, wish more bands had their sense of humor

King Crimsom

Just because King Crimsom is loud does not put them in the same category as the thrashers.
