What a shit draw for Buddy Holly.
Hello people, this whole tournament could largely be attributed TO Buddy Holly. He was the first. |

I've seen Metallica live... wasn't impressed. Left early to catch the Flaming Lips.

I saw Metallica live three times between the winter of 1988 and the fall of 1989. They were an awesome live experience.
Then the Black album came out. I said, "Meh", and never listened to them again. |

QFT. Actually, I'd be forced to include the black album which was 1991. Tho for some reason, it's become really trendy to hate on that album in the last few years. SI

dola...
When I say, "never listened to them again", I mean that I stopped buying/listening to new albums. The old ones are still classics. Just wanted to clarify that before Lathum beat me with a nail-studded baseball bat.  |

I enjoyed the black album, I guess it took one album longer before I no longer thought they were the greatest band in the world.

There were a couple of really kickass songs on the Black Album (Of Wolf And Man for one), but yeah, you could hear them go sharply downhill with that album.

It would be a real shame to see Buddy lose to a bunch of ass-clowns like Metallica.

Whatever my opinions of Metallica as people, it's irrelevant to my opinion of them as musicians.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the tournament of who you'd like to see in concert, and depending on the person, "who rocked first" might be a better draw.

Excellent point larry. Buddy Holly is dead so I'd rather see him in concert, rocking Peggy Sue\
It would have been quite interesting to see what would have happened had Holly not died at 22 and Ritchie Valens at 17. Last edited by korme : 11-07-2007 at 11:27 AM. |

Buddy Holly wouldn't be crap if it wasn't for Dr. Sam Beckett helping him out.

Count me in for Buddy Holly. Every time I listen to Buddy Holly I think about how great it would be for someone to update his songs, just to kind of bring them forward a bit. There's such a great primitive energy to his music. If he were a young musician today he would make Jack White look like Barry Fucking Manilow.

First, Slick Rick loses in the 1st round of the Tournament of Rick.
Now, Metallica loses in the 1st round of the Tournament of Rock. You disappoint me FOFC. |
