Hears EVH, didn't like all the cover songs on Diver Down album
Madonna "Like a Virgin" and Radiohead's "Creep"
Dream Theater - "Pull Me Under". It's their biggest hit, but it's not uncommon for them to leave it out of their setlists completely. In one recent interview James LaBrie actually said, "I think even the fans would appreciate it if we didn't play it."
Sorry I missed the live chat Luke
@@theeyeofra805 Biggest hit? Try ONLY hit. And while it was the song that introduced me to the band, it's very rare that I will reach for Images and Words when I'm in the mood to listen to Dream Theater.
Slash HATES Sweet Child O’ Mine “with a passion” but “gets why people dig it”
When you see how people can like something you hate
I respect that even though it’s not a favourite of his he still plays it because other people enjoy it
Henry Conner he hates it because he came up with the lick as a joke trying to play circus music. Has nothing to do with people liking the song or not.
I can’t speak from their perspective since I’ve never made music, or much of anything professional, really, but maybe it’s kind of like when an individual can see why people can like a movie, show, game, etc, that they themselves don’t enjoy. It might be different for them since they actually made the song, but it doesn’t seem too unrealistic
I think he said he doesn’t enjoy playing that song. Not hate it “with a passion”
Not only does Robert Plant hate Stairway to Heaven, every music store employee does too
“No stairway! Denied!”
i do too.i play bass half the song has no bass f... stairway to heaven
@@mattderynioski1434 my first thought as well lol
Here in Washington, every music store has a "No Teen Spirit" sign. Everywhere else has the "No Stairway" sign. Lol
Only because none of the people who play it in the store can actually play the whole thing. I still think that it has one of the greatest solos of all time. Both the studio and live versions.
I always loved the quote from Joe Elliot of Def Leopard... “If you can’t handle the responsibility of writing a hit, don’t write it.”
Good one! Thank you!
You think Amy Lee, Metallica, Radiohead and Robert Plant could understand this?
At some point, you need to get over that relationship scuffle you have with past songs.
Well Aldo Nova Released Fantasy In the early 80's didn't think it would be a hit and then it was and he didn't like the attention yeah...
With Don’t Stop Me Now, you’ve got to bear in mind that Freddie wrote the song during his most “out of control” period, which was likely the time which ultimately killed him. The song likely represents the death of their friend to the rest of Queen, so it’s understandable why they dislike it so much.
The songs from Queen in the mid - late 80's were a lot less Wreckless sounding and far more tender and emotional . I agree Don't stop me now is one of the worst Queen tracks and it's also one of their most overplayed and loved by the moronic general public . If you're unfortunate enough to have to sit through UK talent / reality shows you'll heat that it is one of the biggest most performed track by Queen , Hate it ,even worse than WWRY or WATC or CLTCL . Bohemian Rhapsody , Killer Queen and Somebody to love are played and performed a hell of a lot but that hasn't effected the quality of those tracks .
For what it's worth (probably nothing), Samsung is using Don't Stop Me Now for it's new phone.
The medications he took killed him. Go find the video on RUclips "Nobel Winner Challenges the Myths About AIDS" (may have been HIV instead of AIDS) you're gonna have to scroll the results page until you find a video approximately 18 minutes long. It features Dr. Kary Mullis, inventor of the PCR which is used as a diagnostic test for HIV and SARS-COV-2. The inventor explains how this is fraudulent, even calling out Faucci in the early 90's.
@@tinfoilhatmaninspace4944 i love queen and my favorite song is hammer to fall but dont stop me now is still a really good song almost every song they have made are amazing
@@fireysoul7896my fav is Ogre Battle hands down, and Queen 2 I. General (White Queen, March of the Black Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye are perfect)... also bassline heavy Dragon Attack with Another one Bites the Dust from the Game.
I really loved the "Chess Game Quirky Alice in Wonderland Fantasy" aesthetic of their early records, a few bands that fit that also are Uriah Heep and Rainbow.
Later Queen was more pop rock and while I like it (Don't Stop me Now is a masterpiece), I just don't feel like moving into a Renaissance Fair Tactical RPG Through the Looking Glass when listening to that.
As a cashier, the big 4 of grocery core are: Post Malone, Taylor Swift, Michael Buble, and Michael Jackson.
For me, at least when I was a cashier in 2012 to 2013
Peter Frampton (both Chicago, and his solo work [especially the duet with Amy Grant])
Michael Bublé
Colbie Caillat
Celine Dion
Special mention
Gavin DeGraw
Hall & Oates (kiss is on my list)
Rickie Lee Jones (satellites)
Guster
Coldplay, too.
@@eddiedingle767 Peter Frampton was never in Chicago.He was in the Herd and then Humble Pie before going solo.I think you might be thinking of Peter Cetera although my old brain may be mistaken🙄
My grocery store plays all that.
But,it also has played I'm recent weeks
Volbeat-Last day on earth
Royal Blood- Lights out
Robert Gemma hey don’t diss MJ
I was gonna leave a like for the term “Grocerycore” but then you said Friends was boring and repetitive so now *that’s* what I’m leaving a like for.
Same here. I was just thinking "finally, someone said it!"
Friends is a terrible show
YuhBoy DTOY It has some good moments but overall it sucked. The best moment from that show could probably be put in a 3 minute RUclips video.
Well, Friends is boring and repetitive so there's that.
Same
I remember reading an interview with Lemmy where he said that he was tired of playing Ace of Spades at every single show, but he always played it for Motorhead's fans that paid to attend the shows and wanted/expected to hear it. He didn't hate Ace of Spades, he just got weary of playing it after all those years. In a separate interview, Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell said he loved playing it every single time.
"Escape" is really not a bad song! Metallica has a lot of songs later in their career that are a lot worse than escape.
Well Metallica barely plays anything from Load and Reload anymore apart from Fuel (which is by far the best song of that era). They never play St. Anger either cuz I'm sure they don't think it exists anymore (apart from that awesome All Within My Hands acoustic remake). So it says something that Escape is left out from their early discography
It's not that the song is "horrible", it just feels really *really* out of place with the rest of Ride the Lightning.
I love escape
Escape has the same kind of feel as Iron Maiden’s The Prisoner. Both are thematically similar and both have catchy as hell chorus’. Never understood hetfields hate for escape
@@joee7978 it's because they were forced to make another song for the album and they didn't want to do it but they had to. They had 3 days to get another song made. It left a bad taste in the bands mouth. I love the song
Lemmy hated playing the Ace of Spades, but he understood why it was expected at the shows. He mentioned in one interview that he would expect other bands to play their famous songs, so he understood why the audience wanted it. Guess that's the price of fame?
Why did he say he hated it ?
@@tgc856 I'm just guessing here but maybe because that became the song Motorhead was known for instead of so many other killer tracks that they released
@@tgc856 More than likely he just got sick of it. People sometimes just get bored of certain bands and genres and move on, I cant imagine what it must be like to feel obligated to play the same thing over and over and over.
I once read that on more than one occasion, he made it more fun for himself by singing the title as "The 8 Of Spades" on purpose....
...Apparently, no-one noticed.
Rob Zombie has said similar things in interviews. He has no problems playing "Thunderkiss" for fans for the rest of his life, cuz they're his fans giving him their hard-earned money in exchange for a song they love. There are literally hundreds of thousands of other bands who'd kill for that spot, so appreciate it.
I mean, play your new songs and encore with "Creep," or work at McDonalds for the rest of your life? Huh?...
funny story about Creep: the random chugging guitar before each chorus was the guitarist *trying to sabotage the recording!* even when they were recording the song, they hated it
Lmao what a stupid way to sabotage song
These chugging literary my favourite moments of the song
that chugging is what made the song for me. Lol the irony
Can't get more ironic than that. When that song was played anywhere, that chugging became one of the most air-guitared "riffs" of the decade. I remember it came on the radio at work, every one of my coworkers violently air-strummed that part.
that chugging was ironically one of the influential parts of the song. can't count the number of times ive heard people rip off that chugging right before a chorus.
another fun fact. They ripped off the Hollies "The Air That I Breathe"
When Chuck Mangione was asked how he felt about “Feels So Good”, he replied that it helped put his kids through college.
Don McLean gave a similar reply when asked what the meaning of American Pie was:
"It means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to."
Apparently if I remember rightly, Radiohead's label basically forced them to re-record Creep cause the label wanted Pablo Honey to have a big hit single, instead of just letting Creep be the slow, thoughtful, stripped down song that the band originally intended it to be. Hence why Thom says the iconic line "You're so fuckin' special" on the original album version and hence why Jonny is literally thrashing the living shit out of his guitar, because they were basically venting their anger and frustration at being forced to release a hit when they didn't want to, little did they know that their frustration would make the track into the alt-rock classic that it is today. I mean occasionally I have gotten a bit bored of the song if I've heard it too many times and I'm not afraid to admit that it is very overplayed, but overall I do love Creep and it is one of the best songs of the 90s by far, however I can definitely understand why the band distanced themselves from it for seven years due to their label trying to push them to shift units instead of just writing experimental, genre blurring music that appeals more to the indie crowd than the casual listeners like they have done more and more in recent years.
Amy Lee also hates Bring me to life because the record label forced them to have a guy sing on the album. They wanted a rapper on the song, and Amy fought over it and they nearly cancelled the recording time they had with the label. They eventually decided to go through with it, but Amy wanted to have heavy input on what and how this guy is used on the track. They eventually settled on what we hear on the album, but Amy hates it to it's core.
I guess she performs it live quite often without the male vocals at all, even though her guitarist performs that part from time to time. She refuses to do it the way the record label wanted her to, saying they were too pushy and it put a bad taste in her mouth when they tried to curb her creativity and writing talents. The only reason she even does the male vocals half the time is because she knows that's the version her fans know, and she doesn't want to disappoint them. It's a massive hit for them, and to leave out a key role in one of the fan's favourite songs doesn't do the fans justice.
She also does a full piano version of the song live from time to time. (Without the heavy guitars)
The guy is called Paul from a band called 12 stones and he is not a rapper as he has never raped in this band 12 Stones. Did not Amy not know Paul before she was in Evanescence? I thought they they both meet sometime when they were younger due to both being Christians.
Sure I read that. Anyway 12 Stones rock, go listen then if you have not.
@@MrStephen182 Not according to the story she tells. The way she tells the whole story, is that it was some random dude assigned by the record label, and Amy almost quit because of it. She, and the band at the time then realized they were being stupid to just walk out on such a big contract, that they went for it, but Amy fought to have the guy's part be what it is. It was originally supposed to be a significantly larger role in the song.
Amy got it down to what it is now. Just some dude going "Yeah!" "Wake me up!" "Ohh!"
@@MrStephen182 She and Ben Moody first met at a Christian camp of some kind when they were teens which was the origin of what would become Evanescence...
Moody wrote My Immortal.
I've never heard that she knew Paul prior... just that when they told the label to shove it and went home refusing to hire a permanent male vocalist for the band which is what they initially mandated.
Eventually they compromised agreeing to it for only the 1st song release.
Ehh. I disagree with that. The dynamic between whoever the guy is and Amy's voice, especially in the bridge, is one of the reasons it makes the song so good.
12 Stones isn't too terrible, not great, but listenable. But man, the delivery and composition of the male vocals on that track fucking sucks.
I actually did hear "My Immortal" in a grocery store once. It happened when I was going through a bout of depression brought on by a reeeeallly bad breakup and I was going through the "tubs of ice cream and watching sad movies in the dark" phase. I was in the store to get more of the aforementioned ice cream and as I was picking out which one I wanted, "My Immortal" started playing. When I realized what was playing, I was like "Oh, come on! That is so not fair!" and I started laughing at the sheer hilarity of the timing of it all.
Swear the same thing happened to me.
Love your username!
Oh I feel ya!
I hear cool, albeit radio-friendly shit in Down To Earth all the time, like Soundgarden.
I think Robert Plant’s emotional reaction to Heart’s rendition in tribute to Led Zeppelin at Kennedy Center Honors is pretty telling. I don’t think he hates it at all. It seems it hurts him
At that point Mr. Plant could no longer do the song justice. Ann Wilson really performed at top level, and even if he still dislikes the song personally, Led Zeppelin probably feels a sense of pride that the song was so influential and that it was performed with such love and care.
Rocked: 10 rock artists who hated their own song
The ghost of Kurt cobain: *vietnam flashbacks*
"Artist spend months to years perfecting a song..."
You'd be surprised how often that is not the case. A lot of great songs get written relatively quickly.
@Hayden Rhead *laughs in TOOL*
Paranoid of Black Sabbath's Paranoid album was written in 25 minutes just to fill the album cause they didnt have enough at the moment lol
Well, I'd say that's how creativity works:
You can use all your knowledge and skill to purposely craft exactly what you're looking for, but the best ideas just come to you randomly at a moments notice.
@@kazera3282 Laughs in The Offspring
Very true! Bon Scott was constantly writing.
I remember reading somewhere that Shiny Happy People was written because the label wanted R.E.M to include a more upbeat song on Out of Time and they wrote it as a joke expecting it to get rejected
I always saw it as them taking the piss. As evidenced by the music video.
My god was that song absolutely fkn stupid.
It was meant to be a Kids song, which explains why Sesame Street did a Muppets Version of it At least it never Got The Kidz Bop Treatment lol
Cyle Marcum I agree SOOOO FUCCIN MUCH. REM are one of my all time favorites but that song is a piece of HORSHITE
@@undergroundkingz7969 I personally love Shiny Happy People, if you take it as a tongue-in-cheek critique. But man, Everybody Hurts? Fucking CANNOT STAND that song.
I was lucky enough to see the Beastie Boys live once, in the mid 2000's. They did not play Fight For Your Right. I did not know much about their dislike of the song at the time, but it all made sense when I did learn the reasons why.
I heard a song called "she's only 17" by Winger at a gas station (close enough to grocerycore) the other day and couldn't help but think about how wrong that song is now. In the chorus it says something like "she's only 17 but that's old enough for me."
I'd like a rock band to someday put out an entire album of covers.....and the covers are of songs hated by the artists who originally made them but became popular anyway.
Isn't that the basic premise of 5 Finger Death Punch?
Nirvana
Hell, you could do that just using John Lennon's Beatles-era songs.
@@LuciferBalor lmao true & they suck ass at it as well the band is garbage
Sounds like Five Finger Death Punch :D
That version of "My Immortal" was a demo? Sounds a lot better than a lot of well produced songs. Jesus Christ.
I wouldn't say it's stellarly produced either, the distortion and crackling on the vocals is pretty painful to listen to.
Kinda like how Collective Soul's debut album consists entirely of demos, but you literally wouldn't think that at first listen cause everything sounded so polished.
Yeah, for a demo recording her singing is sooo good, WTF?
There was an EP with an early version of Imaginary that I absolutely adore. I wish they had kept those original lyrics, imo they were much better.
Craig Keidel I much prefer the version are you are talking about than the album version too.
The original version of Fallen by Evanescence only had the “demo” version of My Immortal which was featured first on their large demo Origin. In late 2003 they had already done the re-recorded version of “My Immortal” which most people call the “Rock Version”, and that isn’t a demo in the least and even has a music video. 14 years later it was featured on Synthesis.
Shiny Happy People is a song that I still love since its debut. Summing it up: happy childlike, ideal and happy seemed to me to be back then in 1991 a perfect spiritual song in an non ironic way maybe because I was finishing high school the next year and life was full of possibilities. I find it astonishing that REM fans and the band itself hate it. The adult me understands this now and understands why it is still great to me. That ideal childlike me still lives in the more cynical adult me.
Anyone wanna bet that Smells Like Teen Spirit or Creep (from Radiohead) will appear on this video?
I bet Creep by Radiohead is gonna be on the list, I mean the guitarist was trying to sabotage the song by hitting the guitar strings too early in the song.
@@charlescherris2535 And he made it sound better
In all truth, were it not for the rule of one song per band, the whole of Pablo Honey could make this list. You will never hear any of them live and not because they loathe them. According to Thom Yorke, it's worse than resentment. It's embarrassment.
@@danielbloomquist9810 They still bust out the song 'Blow Out' from it though. It's probably the one song off of Pablo Honey I can actually enjoy listening to. It's a great song, sounds like it could've fit onto The Bends just fine.
I reckon that, if I think really hard, I could name all ten and get them in the right order.
Search "Brendan Urie hates I Write Sins Not Tragedies". There's a wonderful compilation of him expressing his disdain for their biggest hit.
If that's true, I respect him more for it. That song is awful.
@@knightwing5169 Brendan Urie in general is awful.
Oh good I thought it was just me that didnt like that fuckin thing lol
I think he *used to* hate it, but in recent years has softened a bit. Especially as he now has a lot more hits and a lot more modern fans thanks to songs like Death Of A Bachelor, High Hopes, and Say Amen getting as popular as they did
@@lelandbacon1253 What bad things has he done *besides* writing and releasing a song with the lyric
"I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?" in the chorus?
Great work!
I actually heard Radiohead play Creep live in Mexico City in 2009 during their In Rainbows tour. They tried some kind of "mash-up" and fucked it up, they forced and encore and returned embarassed and explained that, as a penance, they would regretably play Creep, with a great cheer from the crowd nonetheless.
i heard Lemmy hated "Ace of spades" but still kept playing it at the shows because the fans wanted to hear it
"Don't Stop Me Now" was used brilliantly used in SHAUN OF THE DEAD
shotonshitteo agreed
Shazam and Sonic, too!
“WHY IS QUEEN PLAYING?!?”
“IT’S ON RANDOM!!”
"Kill the Queen!" What?!
So true. It fitted the zombie bashing so well
The Gallagher brothers need to have it out, LIVE, on PPV. Hell in a Cell. No holds barred. Leave each other a bloody mess. Then get on with the music.
That would be the best thing WWE would show in 15 years
Thunder dome.
I'm still holding out for a deathmatch between Bezos and Musk, winner takes all.
Honestly Liam would whoop Noel I think. And Noel is my favourite Gallagher brother lol.
dont look back in anger...
While I was being rushed to hospital in an ambulance the driver had evanescence playing loud and one he actually put on repeat was my immortal. This was while I was struggling to breathe with pneumonia and pluracy in extreme pain. My mother in law who came with me told the paramedic to read the room and told him to turn it off.
Huge Radiohead fan. I like "creep" as a stand alone song but it doesn't match the entire body of work the band has created. I think the issue is: if you only know Creep it gives you a false idea of the kind of music you can expect from the band. So buying the album based on Creep would be disappointing. It's so different from the deeper and moody stuff they are known for (in spite of the lyrics). It's almost like a different band. Its still a good song though... but i get it.
I have genuinely always thought shiny happy people sounded a bit sarcastic.
Same! I figured it was all sarcasm and irony and loved it for that.
Aye- the music video should have just been greyscale shots of folks commuting in the rain
It is, actually. It's a mockery of the fake happiness that's presented by the media in China. Something along those lines. But most people don't realize that and just believe it to be a cheesy, poppy song.
If you think about it every REM sounds sarcastic.
So I have a strange relationship with Out of Time, strap in everyone were going to FeelsCity.
My mother passed away from cancer two months after this album came out. It really changed the way I absorbed the songs I heard at around 5 years old.
Losing my Religion is written as an "unrequited love song" and not very religious at all, but try telling that to my dad or myself. He was having a crisis and that song was the soundtrack.
Shiny Happy People, in this context, become a song about trying to be ok when you very much couldn't be. I still miss-sing the lyric as "...put her in the ground where the flowers grow" and change all the hims to her.
"There's no time to cry. Happy, happy. Put her in your heart, where tomorrow shines."
They didn't know the beautiful art they created, but I did.
I can totally understand why Amy Lee would be unhappy with that recording of My Immortal given what she described, but I’m just impressed that was what her voice sounded like in High School.
On the version of Fallen I have there's the Album version of My Immortal and a hidden track at the end which has more harmonies in the chorus and that's the one I like best and I think its the one she's talking about.
I worked at stop and shop for years when I was younger and analyzed the music. Trying to think “how could this song be used to sell more food”. I think they like to play on heartbreak and anxious eating.
"Grocerycore", you are now responsible for a new genre in music, well done, each time I hear any of these songs I will remember you.
Robert hating Stairway To Heaven shows how good of a job Heart and Jason did covering it as it brought him to tears.
Yeah, I knew Jason would hold it down but those 2 ladies blew me away. Talk about big shoes to fill, and they did amazing! Best Stairway cover ever.
Robert Plant has gone on record also saying that he thinks Stairway is good, so I don't know how much we can take him at his word there
Plant hated it in part because when they performed it live, it turned into a 20-30 minute guitar solo. I think most of the dread about a reunion comes from the idea of having to go through that every night.
I figured their hatred of it was guilt based because they stole the intro riff.
@@michaeljohnston243 the first three notes of Taurus are the same as Stairway... beyond that they are different songs. i know because i've played them both many times. but i'll grant the "feel" is the same for oh, about 20 seconds
Brian May doesnt like Dont stop me now because of the lyrics, yet he wrote Fat Bottomed Girls.
Of all Queen songs that Brian dislikes, I'm In Love With My Car is the one he really hates.
@@liamfitzgerald7217 Brian: You can't just make a song about cars
Roger: hehe intro go vrrrr
@@liamfitzgerald7217 To add more insult to the injury, Roger made a lot of money from the song because it happened to be the B-side to Bohemian Rapsody' single, effectively piggyback riding the success of that behemoth. May said tongue-in-cheek that he didn't forgave him until Rogers penned Radio Gaga and he put his own I Go Crazy as B-side.
He also wrote dancer!
Probably because looking back, Freddie's lifestyle ended up being what caused his death.
My two cents: being a teenager in the 80's was difficult for some. To live in that glorious decade and not be able to get some of the perks of it, could be very hurtful. For some, party properly was an almost impossible task, as well as having a decent social life.
That's why "Fight for your rights..." and "Escape" are two songs with an actually meaningful insight. Maybe the Beastie Boys and Metallica members forgot they were teenagers once.
Yeah. I think they did
I'm even going to go one better. The BB proabably liked the song at the time. Listen to the rest of License To Ill.. Not exactly screaming "Free TIbet", just saying. Plus let's not forget that they totally erased the fact there was a female member in "the band" originally (Cough Punk Band buys Drum Machine Cough).
While it may be mature to grow out of a lifestyle and go all Dalai Lama (not going to go into how people ignore some of the less reputable parts of His Holiness's Religious Dogma), a really enlightened human owns all of their experiences...
@@RogueBoyScout I love your essay! Thank u! I'm also gonna say they (BB) might be virtue signaling to their male fanbase.
I think there are a lot of people that miss the point of why these bands hate those songs. Mostly because the bands don't want to admit that these are songs that the record labels made them create to be radio friendly. They may not have even been written by the band themselves or had things injected into the song to make it more catchy and more appealing for a larger audience. Remember at the end of the day these record labels back in the 90s 80s 70s 60s whatever before the internet their intentions were to sell albums to as many people as possible and most bands just want to make their art they're not concerned about corporate sellout.
Re; Queen - one another song, "Another One Bites The Dust". They didn't like the song until Michael Jackson convinced them to finish it and release it as a single, he even jokingly said he would release it as a hit himself if they didn't.
That song would suit MJ pretty well I think
That’s not true they liked the song and knew it would be great live but they didn’t like the way it sounded on the album and were struggling to get it right MJ then convinced them to release it as a single. Roger explained it but I can’t remember where he said it.
Stallone wanted it on rocky 3 but queen turned him down on it..
*Sad Yoshikage Kira noises
Robert getting emotional over Heart's performance of Stairway at the Kennedy Center Honors tho was a touching scene. For that moment, it felt like his love for the song returned and brought back memories of his past. It's a must see!
My favorite part of that was the look on all of their faces as the song opened. It was almost like they were saying "Okay. Sure. Let's see what ya got. And bam Ann and Nancy nailed it.
The prospect of listening to my immortal in a grocery store is far less depressing to me than the music they regularly play.
Gene simmons said in an interview that he does NOT like to play ”I was made for loving you” , mostly because he will have to sing the ”Du-du-du-dudu-dudu-du-du” part.
I get it , it’s disco.
Having Oasis loathe their most recognizable song brings me nothing but joy.

Na, it's just Liam. Noel probably loves it for the money he makes off of it.
LISTEN TO THEIR CATALOG AND INTERVIEWS AND YOU'LL START APPRECIATING THEM....

Ronnie James Dio hated Rainbow in the Dark
If I recall it was because to him it sounded to poppy or some shit right
it was because it's technically impossible
Aww man, really? That's my favourite song of his
@@RedDragonAutobot97 I'm pretty sure
Yeah in the Holy Diver CD I think it's the deluxe edition there's an interview with Dio and he said after recording it he went to cut the tape with a razor blade but the band convinced him not to.
I am a Store Manager at a grocery store, and that is exactly the sh*t we have to listen to everyday. Grocerycore is a thing, unfortunately
Robert Plant might not relate to Stairway anymore, but it still got him straight in the feels when he watched Heart perform it with Jason Bonham on drums at the Kennedy Center.
Apparently Noel Gallagher hates the song "Sunday Morning Call". He finds it slow pointless dross, to the point where when their singles collection came out it was stuck at the end of disc 2 as an extra track lol.
Dokka Chapman yes he does hate it, he says it in a music video commentary he did.
Here's another example:
The Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer
everyone (except Paul) HATED it calling it "Paul's granny music".
John refused to work on it, Ringo said the recording sessions on this track JUST. WOULDN'T. END.
Listening to the song myself, I have sympathy with them
then there is also "Let it be" to which John basically said: It's all Paul, not The Beatles (yikes)
From what I heard, he was actually taken out of context with that interview and actually didn't mind Let it Be. That would be hypocritical anyway since he released The Ballad of John and Yoko under the Beatles name.
im surprised more bands don't hate more of their own songs simply because of playing them over and over over
I always felt like Shiny Happy People was R.E.M. trying to capture some of the impossibly perfect magic of They Might Be Giants....
I know that Metallica have always hated the song Escape, but I thought Enter Sandman would have been the song they hated the most. I remember back in the early 2000's before Jason Newstead left the band that the fans could vote for any Metallica song and Metallica would perform it on some VH1 awards show. James Hetfield went out of his way and told the fans to be creative and not to vote for Enter Sandman. Fade To Black ended up winning the vote which is a great Metallica MASTERPIECE. That was also the last time Jason Newstead performed with Metallica as a member of the band. He has said in an interview that he knew that was going to be the last time he would perform with Metallica as a band member and that is why he waved goodbye himself on the goodbye part of Fade To Black.
My tip was Nothing else matters. :)
Yeah I always thought the same. And I remember in the late 90s seeing some MTV thing where Metallica played in a warehouse setting with fans sprinkled about, and before each song they'd call on a fan who would request the next track. Finally some guy goes "uh...Enter Sandman?" and James just replies "heh...uh, no." and then they called on someone else. Lol. But yeah I can't stand that song either because of the overkill, obviously neither can the band
The black album has some of the most underrated and overrated metallica songs
A lot of this is the radio and labels' faults. They see music as a product for making money but not as an artist expressing themselves or something they would like to keep as part of their portfolio. It also sucks that some of these songs are the only song of theirs that gets radio airplay because they know how weak it is compared to everything else the artist has done.
Alex_flamer. I agree. In the UK I can't understand how much of the sellouts (advertising and paid sponsored) and self pretentious of UK radio called Capital FM (include their cringe/overblowing/ "Wannabe" Influencer hipster radio hosts) and I'm in their age group. And they used Spotify's repeated playlist technical and other long term UK radio's technical before the radio arrived in 2017 and their Justin Bieber hentai musics repeated (not just Bieber but other musicians included the same "popular" tracks from them) to death in January to February this year (2020) and pointless talking to each other about celebrities Instagram's announced attached to their news sometime. So that my workplace included my colleagues can listen to them in their area when they are making food preparation (I worked in the secondary school/sixth form's catering area as kitchen Porter since 2018) and also some local shops would played Capital FM or other UK radio. Despite, their music have been repeated in the past hours in a days, weeks and months. Thankfully, I don't need to listen to Radio (included their advertising) in my house.
The Beastie Boys were the personification of college frat partying on that entire album and their shows with scantily clad women dancing on stage. I call bs.
Yeah they're full of shit
The thing is they may hate the song they made but ALL of them don’t hate the Royalties that still come pouring in .
"I hate that song, Space Ghost" - Michael Stipe
I think if Kurt was still alive, I don't think he'd be making music any more. Something tells me he'd be a living as a recluse somewhere away from the fame that he couldn't cope with.
Also, Fred Durst hates "Eat You Alive".
Oh yeah, Nirvana would have broken up after In Utero, Dave Grohl would have still formed the Foo Fighters, Krist Novoselic would be doing whatever libertarian shit he’s been doing for the past 25 years, and Kurt would have divorced Courtney and moved to a cabin in the forest of Washington.
@@ladydontekno Would Dave still have collaborated with everyone in the world?
Fred Durst hates "Eat You Alive"? I'll sign that memo.
I hate that Fred Durst ever wrote Eat You Alive, so amen to that. What a fuckin cringe track.
@@ladydontekno probably would have ended up making a couple records with Mark Lanegan
I've thought about this a lot. A lot of people dream of being a rock star or a star in another genre of music. It looks like such an ideal life. You get to be creative, make lots of money, have lots of sex, get a lot of respect, etc. You may or may not get those things. However, it doesn't matter how good your music is. If you're playing the same songs night after night month after month year after year, and sometimes decade after decade, it's got to get really monotonous. Plus, hopefully, as a human, you've grown in those years. Imagine being stuck playing something you created when you were like 19, but now you're 50. You're not that same person anymore. Your mind has moved on, yet you've got to keep on playing old stuff, further identifying yourself with all that old stuff. For every up, there's a down.
I saw Nirvana in December 1993, their in Utero tour. The 1st set they didn't even play SLTS. After the 1st set they went acoustic and crowd freaked out. They came out for encoure and finally played it, but they rushed through it and maybe played 1/2 of it
I hope somebody has kept a list of all the "genres" that Luke comes up with. Buttrock, grocery core....that's all I remember right now but they are all great.
buttrock has actually been used by a lot of people over the years.
but I agree with grocey core, that's amazing
I think I remember him saying he read it in the comments, but "divorced dad rock" is pretty good.
Don't forget trashcore
@@Blarsen780 If I remember correctly, he acknowledges reading that in a comment on the Regretting the Past for Staind's 14 Shades of Grey.
@@ideitbawxproductions1880 This guy invented the term "Butt Rock"? Was it in the early 90s?
Smells Like Teen Spirit killed hair metal.
Cherry Pie put hair metal on life support.
No thrash metal killed hair metal but grunge gave it the final push.
Cherry Pie killed Jani Lane.
Toby Howe lies.
Adam Davis pies
Look up the song Uncle Tom's Cabin, it's the song they wanted to be the title track to the album and it's actually very good, but the label didn't agree.
Jon Bon Jovi initially wasn't a fan of Livin' On A Prayer and didn't want to include it on Slippery When Wet but Richie Sambora talked him into it.
I actually heard that Madonna actually hated "Like A Virgin" in the beginning. She obviously embraces the song now, but when the song became a huge hit when it was released, they were literally playing it everywhere she went and she just simply got annoyed by it.
I thought of Creep by Radiohead when I saw the title of this video.
- Ride the Lightning is my favorite Metallica album, and one of the very few albums I can listen to front to back without skipping a track, but I do think Escape is the weakest tack on the album.
- I never knew the story behind My Immortal, but honestly I still love it.
- Yeah I knew Smells Like Teen Spirit was coming.
- And here I was thinking I was alone on FRIENDS. Thank you Luke! Lol
I love Escape. One of my favorites and heaviest songs. Especially the breakdown. And its a pure metalhead rebel song.Burton must have been the actual writer. Like all the songs he didn't get credit for on the justice album. No way those other dbags wrote any of the and justice for all riffs
@@Slimc74 I don’t think Burton was even alive when half the stuff on justice was being written, so obviously he didn’t get credit because he didn’t get to write anything (except for To live is to die). Also, you’d be surprised how much of a riff machine James is.
I just found out it was not supposed to be on the album through this video and I have always said that it does not sound like it should be on the album or that it would've done a lot better on a different album.
For years I always thought Escape as the odd song in the list. It just had a non metallica vibe to it in comparison with the rest of the album. I once tried looking up to see if it was a cover song they did for some random underground 80s fan band. I do like it for what it is and think it was genius of them to put it right before creeping death cause it was an anticipation to end and/ or an easy skip to go straight to creeping death.
I work in a grocery store and I hear shiny happy people at least once a day. It fits right in the playlist but I take solace that its still REM so I dont go insane.
I heard that same song on the Boscov's department store playlist. Honestly the entire playlist was terrible, save for the one song "Babylon" by David Gray, which is a song of love regained that really resonated with me. It stuck in my head for years until I finally looked it up and learned who made it.
@@catjudo1 in my years working retail there were a lot of songs I learned were actually good and I grew to enjoy them. There is still a lot of garbage that gets played though.
Grocery stores? I remember as a kid when my mom and I would ride elevators. She'd tell me when she recognized a song being piped in as one her dad's favorites. I always associated elevator music with being old. The last time I rode an elevator... They were playing The Offspring... I realized I was old. And my lord. All the radio stations playing music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that call themselves Classic Rock or Oldies. QQ
I feel like we all expected to see Bring me to life instead of My Immortal in the Evanescence spot
Same here man
I think Amy Lee has discussed some issues with that as well. I don't think they originally wanted the Paul McCoy guest vocals. Again, there's a new version on Synthesis that's pretty cool and presumably more what was originally intended.
@@rebel-by-design yeah, the label forced them to have him on there. To fit in with the nu-metal trend. They all hated it and I don’t believe ever used it in live versions. At least never when I saw them.
@@Jarlaxle_Baenre There is an original version without McCoy's vocals. Actually there are two: the demo version (which has a guitar solo from what I recall) and the original intended album version.
You can find them both on YT btw 😊
@@Khenfu_Cake oh, I have heard both of them, but thank you! More people need to see that reference point as well. When you listen to the album entirely and hear that forced feature, it sticks out like an insanely sore thumb. Lol
I was fully expecting to see Cherry Pie on this list. I personally loved Warrant. I never once thought of Jani as the Cherry Pie guy. That album is very nostalgic for me tho. I had it on cassette as a kid. I Saw Red and Uncle Tom's Cabin were my favorites off that album to be honest.
Word on Uncle Tom, yet I liked Cherry Pie but I admit, I'd be hard pressed to name many more songs from Warrant that are not from that album, since I owned that one since release and other stuff followed years if not decades later.
Acoustic I saw red is my favorite Acoustic song besides claptons tears in heaven and it was such a personal song for him.. so sad he's gone
you are awesome! not only are you accurate and informative, but you're freaking hilarious. keep it up man.
Cobain never *hated* Smells like Teen Spirit, he just thought it was overrated, overplayed and hated how it became famous.
I honestly liked the original version of "My Immortal" was so raw and beautiful. I completely understand why the label put it on the album as is, because it's just incredible.
Kind of surprised to not see "Back to school" from Deftones on the list.
When i'm invited to a party or wedding, I always bring my acoustic guitar with me. And I always play wonderwall, people seem to love it because I always get some smiles.
Just a little additional bit for Creep:
My Iron Lung was written about how much they hate Creep.
Question...
Have you ever done top 10 women in rock? Really interested in your opinion on this subject.
Thank you
I prefer the Furry Happy Monsters that REM did for a Sesame Street parody.
So did REM :D
Hahaha. My son LOVES that song lol
Chinese happy people ho ding haan
this is good to know as I sometimes myself try to compose something on my guitar and kinda hate myself for composing something that I actually dont like, it can happen to all of us!
Well, RUclips algorithm brought me to this channel. And gosh, it's another surprise treat.
Great presentation!
As for the song list...
"To Live is to Die" writer described "Escape" as a Bon Jovi-ish single. It didn't help James Hetfield despising the frontman. That was back in the 80s. Hopefully time heals all wounds, but I don't expect these two great bands sharing the same stage
-- at least in my lifetime.
(Cliff Burton might be laughing somewhere.)
Sorry, Oasis.
"Wonderwall" is my introduction song to your band.
"My Immortal" has been associated as an alternate eulogy/grieving theme, especially in early 2000s. I remember a WWE vignette showing wrestling personalities who passed on in 2003 and the song was used as background track.
Locally, singing "My Way" (Frank Sinatra) in a videoke shop could cost that intrepid singer's life.
In guitar shops, playing "Stairway to Heaven" even in snippets is a taboo. Expect to be vehemently admonished by the owner or personnel.
"Creep" was parodied by a local band. The tweaked lyrics was about a Chinese bun (called "siopao") with no filling.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" popularized Teen Spirit (I prefer "Old Spice"). Sorry Kurt, but it remains Nirvana's signature hit and grunge's ultimate anthem that crashes/assaulted musical norms at the time.
To get out and not to be defined by one song (even it made members rich and famous in an instant) is understandable, though.
As for the others, glad to learn. Those despised songs can be a flagship single by today's (lazy and no talent) artists.
Pardon the litany.
I love how in a live video of Radiohead's A Moon-Shaped Pool tour, they played "Creep" instead of "Give Up the Ghost" which was the original plan, and Jonny had a look on his face that just said "Are we really doing this shit again"
Pretty sure cobain struggled to get through playing every song...
There's a picture on Pinterest of a shirt that says "smells like the only Nirvana song you know" and (of course I thought it was hysterical) I showed it to a co-worker and they literally said "I don't get it are you talkin about that blonde guy who killed himself?" My heart broke. Rip to this generation
I'm so sorry
Petition to make the cockney-rhyming slang of 'distain' to be called a 'Dave Mustane'
Just stumbled across your channel man. I dig it dude
Don't know why Luke's way of saying "Chadley & Jayden" cracked me up so much.
Boy are those peak white boy names you hear a Karen brag about.
Damnit Karen.....
The SlayFer. Point taken. Especially, the original book and film adaptation of Less Than Zero to the CW teen shows like Gossip Girls.
Much as Amy Lee and the band may not be happy with the Original "My Immortal" - I personally have a VERY STRONG LOVE FOR IT... Always have and even more so now as it strikes very close to my heart... (My Ex-Wife and Best Friend passed due to Breast Cancer and this was her Funeral Song... To this day it still brings me to tears - I MUST hear the updated version that they are happy with because I am sure I AM GOING TO BAWL MY DAMN EYES OUT!)
I was going to ask you to review music from today, and then I realized there is no music today. And you are so right how in the heck did friends ever become a hit.
Lemmy stated he was sick of The Ace of Spades and always being called out about how great it was.
"My Immortal" has actually been re-recorded twice. The version on the album is the demo from Origin remixed with strings (the version Amy talks about in the interview clip). The recording in the music video is the version recorded during the Fallen sessions that the band WANTED on the album, but was declined by the label in favor of the demo (but later included as a hidden track after "Whisper" on later pressings of the album from 2004 onward). The Synthesis version was released in 2017 and the only original member left on the track is Amy.
Maybe you can clear up my confusion then: Did the radio stations play the album/demo version? It seems weird to me that they‘d play that version rather than the actual single/band version... Or does Amy just hate both of them 😂
Cherry Pie is a guilty pleasure, the riff gets me going
A lot of the time, it may not be the composition of the song that people like. It is the memory the song brings back to the listener. As the song is played now it transports you back to a good time or emotional time. Music is our memory makers. Just watch the look in a persons face as the sway or rock to their song. They are remembering.
I’m sure someone probably mentioned Quiet Riot’s remake of Cum On Feel The Noise. I can remember an interview with Kevin DuBrow saying how much they hated recording it. I think he said they tried to make as terrible of a version of it as possible. The rock fans of the time loved it, though.
It sounds like they tried to do a shitty job, but they were pros at playing and the muscle memory kicked in
"First Date" by blink-182. Tom DeLonge hated doing that track when he was in blink. Fortunately, Matt Skiba brings life to First Date on stage. (See their NINE Encores performance from last year)
When I saw the "Stairway to Heaven" mention, it made me think of the music store in Wayne's World, as if the policy was agreeing with Robert Plant. "No Stairway? Denied!"
Fun fact, that bit happened because Zep's lawyers let them use two notes before it cost them something like $100 million.
It's easy to hate a song AFTER it made you millions.
It’s easy to hate a song immediately after making it
On another website someone wrote "Kurt Cobain hated "Smells Like Teen Spirit" so much he killed the songwriter!"
Thats funny as hell!
It is funny but I hate myself for laughing.
Ben Moody never intended "My Immortal" to be made into a song, it was only that Amy found it written down, and pushed Ben to put a tune to the words. The "Synthesis" version is awesome, puts a whole new depth to the song which the original album version (before the single version with the band coming in near the end) lacked being just a piano
Fun fact: fight for your right is my grandad’s favourite song
He’s not much of a music guy then huh?
MustObeyTheRules well sometimes music doesn’t have to be deep or have meaning to it. Much like all art mediums, music is up to interpretation and it can be as simple or as complex as you want. Sometimes songs have deep, meaningful messages and sometimes they can just be fun and spoiling people’s fun is no good.
First of all, I agree with the narrator's opinion about the show Friends. Second, I don't know if this song is considered rock, even by 80's standards, but the guy from Flock of Sea Guls who sang the song "I Ran" apparently hates it, because of how much it's been played, requested and performed live, but he still agrees to perform it because the fans want it. I don't know if that's true, but it's something I heard somewhere many years ago; I don't remember when or where, lol.
