JennYReasons NOT to like Alice in Chains...
December 24th 2006 03:00
There is nothing that aggravates me any more than for someone to discuss music with me and to express their opinions of groups or bands without any basis on which to form their opinion.
I was talking to someone tonight and Alice in Chains came up in the conversation. (No, I didn't bring it up.) This person I was talking to did and said, "I hate them, a bunch of queers."
Ok. Now, we all know how I feel about AIC. For those of you who may not know, I would lick the dirt from their shoes. Brilliant lyricists, brilliant musicians, brilliant vocals, brilliant guitar. BRILLIANT. In my humble opinion.
I know this because I have listened to their music, I have read about the origins of the band and members, I have watched interviews, performances, and I have read every lyric to every song of theirs that I have heard so far. I am educated on them.
If you don't like AIC, that's fine. Have a reason. Don't tell me it's because they are a bunch of 'queers'. Have a reason. Here are valid reasons...
"I don't like Layne's voice"
"I don't like sad music"
"I don't like dirty guitar riffs"
SOMETHING.
In fact, I don't care who we are talking about...It could be Britney Spears. I don't like her for more reasons than I can possibly post here. I hate her lyrics. I hate her image. I don't like the fact that she doesn't know what key she sings in. I don't like a lot of things about her. But I can tell you WHY I don't like her.
So, here is a little rule that I just want to remind you of, in case you are reading this with the assumption that it is okay to just say, "Because I don't, that's why!" on this site. It won't fly. I will rip you apart for it.
I don't want to hear it. I don't care, in fact, that you don't like it just 'cause you don't. If you are going to post here...be intelligent. Have a reason for the opinion you hold. A valid one. Have some experience, some knowledge, with or about the artist you are voicing an opinion on.
That's not too much to ask, is it??
