Is anyone else looking foward to this?
Maxim gave the album a 2/5 without even listening to it.
lol dumbasses
Anyway, not really. Can't say I'm a fan.
Were the judging off the single Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution? Because it's a pretty good song and makes me expect good things from this. lol, they must be fucking retards to rate it without listening to it.
I'm hoping it'll be good though. Obviously not gonna be as good as amorica or Shake Your Money Maker (Those two albums are great, give 'em a shot).
Nope. I don't like "southern rock".

All ready gave She Your Money Maker a listen, didn't really like it.
Sort of reminded me of Primal Scream's Riot City Blues and Gave In But Don't Give Up, which are two shit albums.

The south is where rock n' roll began (as well as its father, blues). Some southern rock isn't that great, but Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, and The Black Crowes are all pretty damn good.
I've heard that Warpaint is gonna be a heavier album than usual for the Crowes.

You misconstrue. I don't necessarily hate bands that come from the south, I just hate bands that go out of their way to identify themselves as southern rock. I like ZZ Top (hell, I saw them live last year), and you'll notice that they don't make a big deal out of being from the south, whereas Skynyrd, Nuge, and the Crowes all call themselves southern rock and, in my opinion, are really icky.

Yeah, I've noticed that about ZZ Top too, which has led me to forget about their connection to the South on multiple occasions. I don't like ZZ Top a whole lot, but I at least like them more than Skynyrd and the Crowes.
Nuge...is all hit and miss for me. A good song here, a horrible song there. Seems to repeat himself in that pattern. For once I wish he'd have an album with nothing but at least mildly good songs.
God I hate "Fred Bear."

"Cat Scratch Fever" and "Stranglehold" make me wish the local classic rock station would switch to mariachi music.

The station I listen to only rarely plays Stranglehold. Never heard them play Cat Scratch Fever.
I actually like Stranglehold, but I can't say the same goes for CSF.
Those bands don't go out of their way to be southern. Nuge is from Michigan (though his music has a southern style). The closest Skynyrd has gone to bragging about the south is tributing their home of Alabama in one of their songs, and the Crowes don't ever brag about being southern.
And ZZ Top mentions their home quite a lot. They love Texas and mention it a lot. Also, Stevie Ray Vaughan made an album and song called Texas Flood. Does that mean they're going out of their way to be southern?
Doesn't this hafta apply to other places, too? RHCP mentions California a lot, and Rush's Lakeside Park is about a place in Canada.

You're forgetting that the aforementioned Southern-esque bands aren't very good, by the standards Houdini and I hold.
Vaughan kicks ass, no matter how much he says where he's from. It might be a minor annoyance to hear where he's from, but it's pretty far overshadowed by how awesome his music actually is.
But really, all this "southern" stuff is not much of why I don't like these bands. I just don't. What I hear comes before what I know about the band.

That's nice. I'm really more of a Californian person, though I don't live there anymore.
And trust me, the North has had its fair share of atrocious bands.
Yes, I know there's shitty bands everywhere.
Funny, generally most fans of rock who are from the south like southern rock to an extent. And Kaz, California is basically the New England of the southwest.

lol nirvana is washington's band
Also, yes, I know CA is kinda like that. One thing I can say about CA though...god, The Beach Boys are really...not that good.
wtf nirvana got 2 do wit dis?
Oh and y'know what's funny, a lot of Californian bands don't have much members who come from Cali. My favorite band, GNR, is known as an LA band but Axl and Izzy are from Indiana, Duff is from Seattle, Slash is from the UK, and Adler is from Ohio (Adler and Slash both moved to LA when they were teens).

1) For GNR, listen to Use Your Illusion 2. It's a musical masterpiece. Van Halen is enjoyable if you don't try to take them seriously. These bands are my top two.
2) A lot suck (like Poison) but Crue and Skid Row are the two I've found better than the rest. Crue makes some great hard rock tunes that I love. But yeah I'll agree a lot of glam comes from the Dolls. But imo the whole hair metal sound relates best to Led Zeppelin - heavy riffs and high vocals.
3) i <3 Nothing's Shocking
4) Yeah... The Eagles made a couple good songs.
5) TOTALLY FUCKING AGREE. I hate all these RHCP-fag kiddies. "I bought Stadium Arcadium and Californication and I LOVE IT! It's totally funky! I've also tried Blood Sugar Sex Magik but... I don't get it". For one I find it funny how a lot of fans of RHCP's new stuff still call it 'funk-rock'. They're barely funky these days. They need to shut up and at least learn who Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons are.

1) I never liked UYI's when I first heard them. They're not as good as A4D but pretty amazing works of art tbh.
2) I used to never care for Van Hagar. But I'd suggest their album "Balance" or "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" good stuff. Not much people know about Balance ;_;
3) Of course it's just dumb. But still some fun music once in awhile. And Nikki Sixx fucking owns.
4) It's different, but I still can see a link between Zeppelin and the hair metal style.
5) I TOTALLY FUCKING AGREE. I hate that one.

No, Presence. In Through The Outdoor was written primarily by John Paul Jones and Robert Plant. Bonham and Page, both struggling with addictions at the time at the time, would wonder in and out of the studio.

I wouldn't really say Coda is an album, in the same sense Presence or ITTOD is. It's just a bunch of outtakes to get everything (except the Swan Song) out of the vault.

Every Coda released since the early 90s has Hey Hey What Can I Do. <3
When I speak of how good Zepp albums are, I don't really mention Coda. It's kinda, sorta, but not really, an album.
