NFG -> Rocks

[Dragon-Fly]

Well your probably wondering with or who is NFG.

NFG is a music group, called New Found Glory, maybe 70% of you have never heard of them.

Well their my favorite group, ask Jamesdark that and he'll probably go crazy, because he knows i really like this group.

Anyway they are a rock/punk band, and i say their, no THEY ARE better than, Blink 182. yes they are.

Well if you never heard of this group i recommend you to download any one or more of these songs, by them.

Ps: They are a young band, 24-30

Songs(you have to listen to);

Sincerly Me
Black and Blue
Eyesore
Hit or Miss
Better off Dead
Last ballad to the romantics
My Friends over you
Understatement
The great Houdini
Singled out
Winter of 95'
It never snows in Florida
The goodbye Song.

If you heard of them do you like them.

I Do.

[Joeiss]

They suck.
















;)

[JamesDark]

WEEZER :mad:

[The Germanator]

Give me a break, stop trying to act like New Found Glory is some underground band than no one has heard of, they suck anyway. :p

[Bond]

Simply put, Brett Favre sings better than New Found Glory. :D

[Heyyoudvd]

They're pretty bad.

When you listen to them the first time, they're not that bad, but then, you realize that every single one of their songs is the exact same thing over and over again. They sound identical to Good Charlotte, Mest, Simple Plan, and Not By Choice.

All these bands become boring as all hell after 3 seconds.

[DarkMaster]

they aint got nothing on linkin park

[DeathsHand]

Better than Blink 182?

That's not really saying a whole lot... :hmm:

;) You are so right.

[Dragon-Fly]

Well, yes you do have your opinion on this. But their not like linkin park or ect. Of course they maybe talk about the same thing, but you also have to look how they play it, and how they sing, and they sing better than Blink 192.

AND WEEZER. *Laughs out loud* You can say anything about them but their not, Not better than NFG. And that's what i say.

I'll never change, what group i like (NFG)

Maybe when i'm 90.

[Dragon-Fly]

You Guys or Girls, must like bands like linkin park, Blink 182 ( I HATE them), Weezer(don't get me starting) etc.

Yes they are better than Blink 182.

Oh and James, that's not funny, especially when it's Weexer right their in the fire.


Hehe. no, no serious NFG ROCKS, and that's final.

[The Germanator]

Actually, I hate Linkin Park and Blink 182 as much as I do New Found Glory...I do respect Weezer for their first two albums, though I admit they've been on a sour note recently. Anyway, I like other good bands like the Dismemberment Plan, Of Montreal, Koufax, Piebald...among many, many others...meh

[DarkMaster]

NFG, Blink 182, and Weezer all suck

[JamesDark]

You completely missed the meaning of the picture. YOU GOT FLAMED.

[jeepnut]

I must say, I like NFG. A lot of people say the lead singer's voice is annoying, but i think it fits the band and makes them unique.

Also, it seems to me you guys don't necessarily hate NFG in particular but more punk in general. Or maybe I'm assuming too much.

Oh, and yeah, I would say NFG has just about broken into mainstream.


On a side note, why does everyone like Linkin Park all that much? Besides of course that they are everywhere and sold a bazillion copies of their first album. Not counting the double hits they are getting with the rehash of the same songs on Reanimation.

I don't get why people ask questions like that... err... people who like Linkin Park (me being one of them) like them because uhh... they like them? They like their muzak?

And I didn't buy reanimation... I was going to, but then a majority of the songs seem too rappish and crappish...

I do have their Hybrid Theory EP though, which they released before coming ze mainstream... has 6 totally different songs than on the regular Hybrid Theory album...

And the band says that the biggest reason they did reanimation was to y'know get experience working with other artists (cuz if ya don't know, most of those remixes were done by other people... they worked with people such as Jonathan Davis of Korn, that guy from staind I think... uhh... and a lot of other people)...

But they're working on an all new album as well, which I think they are gonna try to release sometime early-mid next year or something... Not that you care... :-o

Speaking of bands that rock... The White Stripes... maybe 70% of you have never heard of them.... :unsure:

:sneaky:

[Professor S]

Weezer is a great band, and so is White Stripes.

The greatest band of all time, however, is The Who. Any band that has not toured in as many years as them, and then proceeds to head line the Concert for New York and blow away every other act on the show, well, that just speaks for itself.

R.I.P. John Entwhistle and Kieth Moon (greatest rock drummer of all time, including John Bonham)

Sorry. Don't know why I asked that question either. Guess it is a little unfair. Just wanted to try some insight on why everyone thinks Linkin Park rules and NFG sucks. But it doesn't really matter anyways. Music is a personal issue.

As far as reanimation goes, I don't have much of a problem with it. Other than these following points:

1. Did they have to do everysong? Why couldn't they just do a few and release on the internet instead of making the whole cd over again? Or better yet, work with the same artists but do new songs instead of the old ones.

2. Do they have to release the same singles? The originals were better and they've already been played enough. This is ridiculous.

3. The little skipping voice effect they like so much was way overused on the songs I've heard off reanimation.

4. I don't like techno/electronica/whatever-you-call-it.

I like EP's as well. Except for the fact that they're too short. Then again, I guess that's what makes 'em EP's.

I have Hybrid Theory and I like it. Listened to it a ton when i first got it. However, it's has kinda fallen down my list of frequently played disc's now that I hear it everywhere. Not that I'm complaining about popularity. I hate people who do. It's just that I hear it enough without playing my own cd so I don't listen to my own as much anymore. It's not like it's the band's fault for being popular anyways.

I am somewhat looking forward to the new album as well. I don't think I'll buy it immediately since there will be other cd's I want, but if it catches my ear like the first one did, you know I'll have it. So I guess, I do care.

As far as the White Stripes go, personally, I think........



they suck. :p

But then again, that's just me. I usually get leary of any band or genre of music that all the critics start raving about. I don't trust music critics.

Just a quezyon:

Have you heard any of their songs besides like "Fell in Love with a Girl"? Most of their songs are a lot different than that... That's like punkish, whereas most of their songs are like blues rock garage rock magical rocky flocky... stuff... :unsure:

I didn't even really know critics were raaaaaaving about the white stripes... I just heard a few of their songs and wanted their newest CD, and now I want their older ones but I ain't gotsd no money :-o

Anyways, another question:

What the hell is an EP exactly? Or an LP? I never got that >_<

I can't honestly say I have done much checking into the White Stripes. Which is why i said "personally". Of course, can't say I'm interested either. I crave cds with a good guitar tone and from what I've heard, and read in Guitar World, Jack White's guitar tone is annoying.

BTW: The guitar world thing I read was an interview and one of the quotes was:

"I love it when my guitar is out of tune." - Jack White

Now he may like it, but I don't. Too much midrange to the sound.

As far as the difference between an EP and an LP? I don't exactly know either. It seems however that LP is usually a full-length studio album where as an EP can either be a short studio album or a collection of various demos usually not to exceed 10 tracks.

Anyone out there know the real difference? I'm curious.

[DeathsHand]

Does Jack play with his guitar out of tune on the albums?

I dunno... I like the way the guitar sounds :D

That's just me-o-course, bu'still...

BTW: What the hell is midrange? ;)

I have to agree that music ccritics put far too much emphasis on how polished an album sounds. If a pop or rap album is excellently produced, they rave about it, but God forbid a rock band actually care what they sound like.

Thats whats always frustrated me abount Tool reviews. They are the best modern band today, yet they get trashed in their reviews because they like to pefect their songs and actually have excellent musicianship. I even read one critic who ripped Maynard (lead singer) apart because his voice was TOO GOOD. Tool meticulously crafts their music and evolve with each album (the latest, Lateralus, was completed using mainly 5 and 7 time. Thats just nuts) and get ripped aapart for it.

Just remember, CRITICS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS. If they did, they would be making it instead of writing about it. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Velvet Underground, The Who and most other revolutionary bands were hated by critics in their time. Pay them no mind

[The Germanator]

The only editors I've ever somewhat respected are the ones at http://www.pitchforkmedia.com I don't agree with everything they say, but more often than not when an album gets a good review there, I buy it and enjoy it. Pretty reliable.

Don't really know how he played it on the albums. However, since it would seem he doesn't care a whole lot about tuning, he may not know either.

Midrange as in the Mids on a three-band E.Q. (Bass, Mids, Treble)

[jeepnut]

Since I'm having so much fun with this, here are some bands I like. Let's see what you guys think.

Five Iron Frenzy (www.fiveironfrenzy.com)

Project 86 (www.project86.com)

MXPX (www.mxpx.com)

Ace Troubleshooter (www.acetroubleshooter.com)

Jimmy Eat World (www.jimmyeatworld.com)

Finger Eleven (www.fingereleven.com)

If you don't know who one of them is, just go to their website. I think all of them have at least one song up for samplin'. Five Iron Frenzy I think has their entire catalog. :D

EDIT: Links added for those too lazy to use a search engine. Just click the name of the band.:D

[Dragon-Fly]

Darkmaster your right on only two things, that Blink 182 and Weezer suck

[Dragon-Fly]

Well, Jeepnut, your right that Nfg are a great band, and maybe it's true, that most people just don't like punk. But Jordan's voice(Singer of NFG), isn't annoying, i'll have to disagree with you on that, even that you said, you only heard.

Note To JamesDark: *nod head* James are you scared to say that you like them to (NFG), just because ther's a lot of People here that don't like them beacuse of (whatsoever). Because you do like them, your just shy or scared to say it. And come on WEEZER better than NFG? I don't think so, i heard Weezer's songs, most of what i heard from them, it's like the singer has no voice, or he has a frog in his throat.

[JamesDark]

I do like them, and I like Weezer, too. I'm just not going crazy over them and trying to convert people to NFG like you are. To each their own, I guess.

[jeepnut]

Did anybody check out the bands I listed above?

Do I need to provide links for you lazy people as well?

Come on! Let's get some music discussion going. Comments please.

[Dragon-Fly]

I'm not converting people to NFG. I'm just saying that they are the best and they're my favorite band. I just said, that their are good songs from them that they should listen too.


Earth to James.

[Dragon-Fly]

Well, Jeepnut the only bands i heard are Mxpx and Jimmy eat world. MXPX are pretty good, so so. But i like Jimmy eat world he makes some good songs. but some suck. But i never heard the other bands. do you like any other ones.

[jeepnut]

Uh....Jimmy Eat World would be a band. Not a singular person.

Yes I do like other bands, but I figured we would start with these.

Also, I think you missed the point. I bring up bands I like. If you don't know them, click on the links provided and listen to a song or two on their website. After you have done that, return and give me your DETAILED opinion. Including VALID reasons for likes/dislikes.

Anybody think they can do that? M'kay?

[jeepnut]

This is just like you guys. I try to get a discussion going and you all leave on me. You guys are telling me that not one of you went the the links I posted?

Come on! I know many of you have nothing better to do. Especially Deathshand. Anyone?

i really don't see how you can call NFG better then weezer, NFG is mainstream " skater punk" which really shouldn't be punk at all, it should be emotional rock

and Rivers from weezer has written better songs asleep then the boys from NFG.

Pinkerton alone.....rocks all music lol

Well, here is the genre of the bands I listed:

Five Iron Frenzy - Ska

MXPX - Punk

Ace Troubleshooter - Pop punk

Project 86 - Hard rock/Metal (I guess some might call them Nu-Metal but they are much better than that.)

Jimmy Eat World - You guys should know this one. If not, emo.

Finger Eleven - Kinda tough to classify but definitely has links to hard rock and metal. Very dark sounding band.

Lmao. Ok well anyways, I like nfg. They're a good band. What can I say? I'm a punk fan. I also like mxpx, and some jimmy eat world, like jeepnut mentioned. I also like Linkin Park though, they're not bad either, but anyways, i might be going to the NFG concert coming up here soon...

[jeepnut]

"i really don't see how you can call NFG better then weezer, NFG is mainstream " skater punk" which really shouldn't be punk at all, it should be emotional rock"

I agree.... maintstream "skater punk" isn't even really punk... :-o

Not that I really like real punk anyways...

As for "Emo"... I'll say something I heard drolldurham say:

"I think Emo's pretty stupid... it stands for emotional, but pretty much all music is emotional"...

:sneaky:

Well he said something along those lines...

Just die... K?

I didn't know there was such a thing as skater punk. I thought all punk was just common to skater culture. That's a new one on me.

Also, basically what you are saying is that once a punk band becomes popular and thus mainstream, they aren't punk anymore? So what's the proper term for mainstream punk?

I don't like the term emo either. I just use it because that's what everyone else calls it.

How was band camp?

:) Thanks. It was long and hard but I survived. lol, It was an extremely hot summer this summer, but anyways, all of band camp paid off, because we're doing pretty good this year with marching band. Anyways, we're going to Carie (sp), NC like November 2-3, and then later we're going to Orlando :D *can't wait* lol. ok well anyways, I like mabey one Weezer song..although I haven't heard many, but i still prefer NFG..

[Dragon-Fly]

I would rather listen to Avril Lavigne, which i don't like, Than listen to WEEZER. Serious, the way the weezer guy sings, is as if he's really stoned.

[The Germanator]

Let's see...bands/artists people should check out...
Of Montreal, The Dismemberment Plan, Quasimoto, Piebald, Koufax, Olivia Tremor Control, Magnetic Fields, Circulatory System, MC Paul Barman, Sage Francis, Aphex Twin, Rjd2, The Spinto Band :sneaky:, Aesop Rock, Black Star, El-P, Beulah, Bright Eyes, Princess Superstar, Interpol, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, The Sea and Cake, Peanut Butter Wolf....that's all for now, might post more later.

P.S The first 2 Weezer albums are incredible...that is all.

Impossible.

[Dragon-Fly]

bope, maybe i listen to the radio after or way before, they play Weezer.

But anyway, i still won't change my mind on them.

Has anyone ever heard of ac/dc or Guns'n roses. my other cousin listens to that but their pretty good.

What is it with you and asking people if they've heard of bands that pretty much everyone has probably (or should have) heard of? :confused:

[jeepnut]

Maybe this is why he has never heard Weezer on the radio. I think he is listening to classic rock and is mistaking it for the local adult alternative station. :)

[Dragon-Fly]

lol.

I seriously never heard of them on the radio, only by my friend at school, (the song i heard) Hash pipe, which i never really liked them when i heard their other songs. i just don't find them rock style or punk, even though i KNOW their not punk, ect. I just don't like the way their songs go.

[jeepnut]

I'm not harassing you about not likeing them (I don't care much for them either), I just find it really hard to believe you've never heard them on the radio since practically every time I listen to the radio, I hear at least one of their songs.

[Ice006]

I hear Island in the Sun by Weezer all the time on the radio (or at least I used to). It seems so monotonous. Lacks passion, a catchy tune... it's just not right for me.

[Dragon-Fly]

Dressed to kill isn't their best song, but it's a good one.
It's True.

I really like their "Nothing Gold can Stay" album, because they have a lot of catchy songs.

Like #4 You've got a friend in pennsylvania, Passing time, Winter of 95', tell tale heart, ect.

But if you haven't heard Passing time, it's a very good song, that goes pretty fast.
