i know i can't be alone in this- i've become so quickly fed up of all these radiofriendly "i may be popular and hip but i'm really a stuck up intelligent rock&roll mastermind" groups like The Hives and The Strokes and The White Stripes etc...it's dull, BORING. i can't escape the crap music because YEAH SURE I can turn off my television and not listen to the radio, but now my friends are obsessing over these groups and it's all over anyone with me? anyone not with me and want to explain why they like such dull nirvana rip-off music? |

i like the strokes, the hives and the white stripes who doesn't? I love rock and roll |

If you call the Hives and the Strokes nirvana ripp-off music im afraid i can't take you seriously. (The Hives are swedish . yay!!!) |

i have no real problem with these groups that you mention, but i feel that guitar bands now should be making something new and exciting, rather than looking to the past. it is sure good to have that kind of inspiration, but i think groups should maybe use it to go in other directions. |

The Cooper Temple Clause! Rock with electronics. their influences (according to them) Aphex Twin, The Who, Kraftwerk, Radiohead |

Radiohead own! |

I can't believe Rollinstone pronounced the Strokes as the saviors of rock... they CAN'T live up to that... It's a shame... they're really good, but they've been overhyped too badly, and there's nowhere to go but down. They're not revolutionary, or even trying to be, but they've been called the next Velvet Underground... and they're not. They're just a damn fine rock band. |

i agree - hard to explain is an excellent song...that has a nice structure to the phrases and stuff. i saw the hives on tv and they have style. i just don't like the way they model themselves on the sound of older bands..the strokes even treat their vocals to sound old! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
That's fine... they're very retro, that's what they're aiming for. They're not pretending to be some rock saviours, it's the MEDIA that pinned them with that STUPID image. They're just rocking out old style. I love the way they model themselves like that! Nostalgic, pop music was better in those times. |

I just the hives on the radio.... never heared of hem until now the host said "check it out, there's this great new band called the hives. everyone's been asking me about it" etc... they sound like SHIT, imo.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
strokes= good, but very over rated! |
||||||||
|
|

don't worry if they're overrated if you like 'em. rock doesn't need to be saved mars del volta is mixing electronic and organic pretty well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah dude! the mars volta are fantastiko! they have so much energy...if you haven't heard them - they include members from at the drive-in, and theyre sort of metallish...check out 'eunuch provocoteur' by them - the lead guitar line in that just flows... |
||||||||

the hives are shouty pop-punk done properly, ie not like Green Day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Strokes and White Stripes are very bad. I really do not like either of them. I don't like 'rock and roll'. It's boring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the hives are truly an awesome band, punk, stylish, irreverent, ohh, and awedish. strokes suck ass, i can´t stand that fuckup lead singer playing the drunk rockandroll superstud. about the white stripes, their white blood cells lp isn´t THAT bad, the rest is shite. |
||||||||

hmmm swedish i meant. |
||||||||
|

what a crap statement. "i dont like rock and roll. Its boring" |
||||||||
|
|

i just got The strokes album and iv been listening to it all week on my MD and i must say i love this record. just wanted to say that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm afraid to say this ,I don't like rock'n'roll. No arguament as to why apart from its becoming pop music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well music is music and the most important thing to me is that it has something special compared to everyday music often played on radio, but i cant sit here an lie cause sometimes good music appears on the radio and on mtv such as The strokes or weezer or the almighty Aphex twin. the thing is just meant was that, good music is good music and bad sucks. |
||||||||

|||||||||

ok. the hives... i'm actually a bit dissappointed that they now became such a big hit in uk & us... and people categorize them with strokes & stripes. and i'm dissappointed also with the hives because their big $$ record deal & break-up from their past label, the punky burning heart. personally i think that the strokes are nice but boring, the white stripes sometimes nice but also boring, and that the hives really rock... but we'll see what happens to them with their big $$$... and the hype, damn i can't understand it. these trendy magazines always want something fresh and end up making them these damned products. i mean, a great band can become a shit product, or a shit product band can became a hyped shit shit product... hmm... the vines? ughhh. |

tone ur right and pop into nothing... universal records amuse me its like circus every day! they need free buttered popcorn in the ass |
||||||||

|
|
I dont like that thing The hives did, changing label. Greedy bastards! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
The Strokes are supporting the Stones. Wow. That'll be an evening of cutting edge, forward-thinking music for sure. |
||||||||

Buried under this jumble of trendy power pop is Sloan, who blows the rest of these amateurs out of the water. FUCK I wish they'd get as popular as these wannabes. |

You people speak so much wisdom,glass eater thanks for the nice popcorn image now present in my head....I'll sleep better tonight. Rock pop ect are only after money and don't stay true to their fans. |

i mean all this stuff is just insincere comidified rehash of the stones, mc5, gang of four, the stooges, velvet underground, and the pixies. why do any of you listen to it? |

Mando Diao owns all these bands!!!! Soon they will take over the world. Download "Sheepdog" and see what i mean. And Ceasars Palace owns Mando Diao!! I love the new album "Love For The Streets" More swedish rockbands for the people!! (new political slogan) |

the strokes are decent, kind of like a newer version of the doors. i don't really care about the hives and white stripes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
except w/o the exceptional vocalist/lyricist and keyboards.. hehe :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not really one for all these 'new rock' bands myself.. though I do like The Vines in a way, sort of have a Dandy Warhols feel to them in some songs and Dandy's are great. meh.. anyway.. time to put some Tool on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe i'd rather just listen to the dandy warhols! :) they have a new album coming out soon, have you heard anything about it? it comes out in the u.s. a few months after the rest of the world, unfortuanately for me. i thought '13 tales' was a masterpiece personally! |
