BTW I like Iron Maiden,Gary Moore AND Miles Davis,Thelonius Monk,ZZ Top,Frank Zappa,Pink Floyd,Johnny Guitar Watson,XTC,and Cannibal Corpse,along with Buddy Holly and Stanley Clarke,Captain Beefheart,Iggy Pop,Blah blah blah.

It doesn't make Nickle Back suck any less. Fodder for the masses. As far as the Metallica comment,James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine(formerly with them)made a huge impact on the way guitar is played and cannot be denied that fact,just because you don't care for them. Selling records is not the mark of a good band,it is the mark of bad taste from the masses. Look at disco LOL.

Oh yeah,Tupac and Eminem are at the top of my list as well as the Beastie boys,Beck,Jeff Beck,Butthole Surfers LOL.

I just wanted to make a long,Merg type post.

Funny my LONG posts wasn't really that long. How the hell can you type so much son?
