Never do the math on how old the classics were when you were a kid. My first concert ever was Tom Petty when I was under 10. I recently saw Tool live. When I saw Tom Petty in the early 90s he was newer than Tool was when I saw them last year. I am oldening.

My first concert ever was Fall Out Boy in 2006, when I was 16 years old. I saw them again this year, 18 years later. The time between those 2 shows was longer than the time between my birth and the first show, and to me it felt like only a few years had gone by. The next time I blink I'll be 50.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah. Between the first time and the last time I'd seen a Styx concert was like a 20 year span.

[-] ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 2 points 5 months ago

Next time I blink I'll be 182

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago

Buddy, all that shit came out 30 years ago. At this point it IS classic rock. This isn't even a meme.

Fuck you Chevelle is awesome. Get off my lawn.

[-] ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 2 points 5 months ago

Saw them live a few years ago opening for Breaking Benjamin, they still put on a killer show.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 32 points 5 months ago

Stop, stop, I'm already ~~dead~~ old!

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago

I'll probably catch some heat for this but Creed and Nickelback are both pretty solid bands. I wouldn't call either my favorite by any means but it is my firm opinion that the hate they've gotten over the years is more of a viral opinion than any legitimate criticism.

While we're on the subject, listen to Alterbridge if you haven't heard them. It's Creed with Myles Kennedy as a front man, who is an amazing singer.

[-] pizza_the_hutt@sh.itjust.works 32 points 5 months ago

Nickelback isn't a bad band. They were just over marketed and over played to death. People don't hate the band so much as that aspect of the music industry.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 12 points 5 months ago

I think It was a bandwagon thing. It got cool to hate on them and everyone just went with it.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 points 5 months ago

It's maybe also something about Nickelback fans. As a Nickelback fan, I can't really blame anyone for whom Nickelback is not their cup of tea.

We're just such a gosh darned reasonable fandom. I'm sorry when I think about how members of Nickelback have suffered for my politeness and good taste, though.

[-] TheRtRevKaiser@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 months ago

They're both fairly mid imo, but definitely don't deserve anything like the nuclear hate they got. Alterbridge is pretty great, all the good parts of Creed without Scott Stapp grunting all over everything.

[-] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 months ago

Creed is awesome.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 5 points 5 months ago

I think the Creed and Nickelback hate is a cringe US phenomenon. Luckily it never swapped over to the rest of the world.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

We made fun of Nickelback in their home country as well but not anymore. They just played a sold out show last week here so their popularity isn't slowing.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Nickelback is alright i think. But the amount of time it was played on the radio was insane. I think that tipped me over and i completely stopped listening to it. But that is hardly their fault.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Nickelback hate made it to the UK—I'm pretty sure it's still regarded as pretty cringe to say you like them to most of the people that still know the name

[-] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

You love what you love. If others don’t, that’s cool. I quite like some songs by Nickelback, but they aren’t quite my favourite. I find myself listening to Creed from time to time and I think they are great.

As for AB, the best band ever as far as I’m concerned. There is not a single AB album I haven’t played again and again. I’ve seen them live ten times or so, and will go see them every time I get the opportunity. And Myles could sing the phonebook and I’d still love it.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Creed and Nickelback are both pretty solid bands.

Found the non-human AI that doesn't have ears.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

I was never much of a Creed fan, but I'll agree with you on Nickelback. At least Silver Side Up, that's a pretty solid album. But holy fuck did that song get overplayed to death. I never liked it.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 5 months ago

Keep your creed, I don’t need that bullshit.

[-] tattletaletimes@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

So you're saying you're not attending the Creed cruise next year?!

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

Oh my fucking god.

Guess I am now! jk

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 16 points 5 months ago

that first Godsmack album absolutely fucked

second one did too

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

Wholeheartedly agree. I instantly fell in love with it, but I found the albums that came out after somewhat disappointing.

[-] SuzyQ@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 months ago

I'm in this meme and I don't like it

Every cigarette you smoke adds 5 minutes to Kieth Richards life.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I'm surprised they didnt tour Ohio more often. We have tons of corn fields!

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

She hates time, make it stop

When did Mötley Crüe become classic rock?

[-] VoterFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The time since the release of that song is longer than 1985 was from it (2004).

[-] dropout@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I owned 5 of those on CD. Worthless Internet points if you can guess the one I never owned.

Nope! Loved me some Creed. Loved My Own Prison enough that I got Human Clay, too. That one didn't get as many spins.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Bottom left? I don't even know what that one is. I know I had the 3 on the top row though.

[-] dropout@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Limp Bizkit's Significant Other. That received heavy rotation.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 5 months ago

That's Limp Bizkit. Their best album.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Like how all new metal is nu-metal, right?

Classic rock does not mean old. It's a specific fucking genre. This is like insisting whatever's new must be modernist because it's modern, and old modernism is now post-modern. That's not how words work.

Aerosmith's "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" was contemporaneous with these albums, and it was classic rock at the time.
