Oxymore Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Roshambo is great. Yeah actually it's a popular opinion. Sure it's almost everyone's favorite
Oxymore Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Yes I find that the others sound a bit scary.
Jax Teller Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah actually it's a popular opinion. Sure it's almost everyone's favorite I agree.
Jax Teller Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 roshambo is the only song by the network that matters I like Money Money 2020 and Right Hand-A-Rama too. "I'm gonna spend all the money she had / On a nude girl in a dirty old magazine" lol
HolyHandGrenade Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 roshambo is the only song by the network that matters Reto.
The Disappearing Boy Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 THIS!!! I listened to one song a few years ago on youtube and didn't like it. Anyway, I just wanted to break up the chain of Network love
Anaïs. Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I want to make a mod of Portal that uses The Network as the soundtrack one of these days.
Mykee Mexx Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I like Teenagers from Mars. Unpopular? Popular?
JOE THE X-KID Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I like Teenagers from Mars. Unpopular? Popular? love it
tdlyon Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I like Teenagers from Mars. Unpopular? Popular? It's awesome but it's not their song. It's a Misfits cover. I really love Supermodel Robots. That song is awesome.
Mykee Mexx Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It's awesome but it's not their song. It's a Misfits cover. Really, it´s a cover? Didn´t know that. Like it anyway.
Jollyroger118 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Transistors Gone Wild is my second favorite from Roshambo.
JOE THE X-KID Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Is it bad that when I'm really pissed off, I watch the Iheart rant because it calms me down and makes me feel better. Yes it's awful what Billie went through and im so glad he got help, but damn it makes you feel better after listening to it.
stories and songs Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Roshambo is absolutely amazing. An all-time favorite of mine, for sure. I gotta say, I also have a whole lot of fun listening to Spike and Right Hand-A-Rama. I love The Network, though. That's a side project I'd much rather see them revisit than FBHT (hugely unpopular opinion, I know).
Z J Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Gotta say The Pedestrian followed by 27th Ave Shuffle are my favorite Hot Tubs songs

Jollyroger118 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I guess it could always make you happy in that you're not that fucked up? I for one am glad Billie said what he said, granted he was too intoxicated and played like shit that night, but what he said was true. It must be frustrating to be up there with all those rap/pop acts and see that fucking clock ticking down as you're playing one of the biggest anthems of your generation and genre. Billie got fed up with all the modern music bullshit and went into hyper-punk-rock-star-fuck this fucking shit mode.

Billie got fed up with all the modern music bullshit and went into hyper-punk-rock-star-fuck this fucking shit mode. Personally I've always thought he was totally in the wrong. He agreed to play the show in the first place, he knew full well how long the band's set was going to be (it came out later that their time wasn't cut), and given that Usher started his career in 1987, "I've been around since 1988" as an argument is just silly. If you fundamentally disagree with the state of rap and pop music, don't agree to play a show that's made up entirely of rap and pop acts. It's not like they've never played festivals before and don't know how time slots work, and you plan your set accordingly, rather than being so arrogant as to think those times don't apply to you just because you've been around a while. Saying "I'm not Justin Bieber" after being introduced to an audience full of tweens by Demi Lovato and AC Slater at a glorified commercial for a smartphone app owned by the Clear Channel is utterly hilarious. In that context, the only difference between Green Day and Bieber is that Green Day used guitars to become a Top 40 pop act. He was complaining about rich, entitled pop singers who wouldn't be where they are today without the help of a bunch of industry suits - which is exactly what he is himself. *puts up flame shield* No shits given.

I think Green Day is an example of band that worked hard and didn't have anything handed to them, they were touring the world even after their independent releases. And I thought the drunken-fit he threw on national TV was the most rock-star like thing anyone's done in awhile, and I think the matter of whether he was right or wrong are semantics. I miss the rock n' roll attitude. Green Day still brings that and it shows when people like Alice Cooper call them one of the few true rock bands left. Just like punk music, rock n roll is more than just music its an attitude.

But you don't get to play a thing like iHeart without having the suits do their thing for you, that's just a fact. I guess it was "rock star" like, but I don't see that as any kind of admirable thing and never have. If we were to take away the fact he was tripping balls and was in desperate need of help, which is something we didn't really know the full extent of at the time, it was just a really dickish thing to do and there was no need for it. Ultimately it was the least punk meltdown ever.
