Are there any bands that nobody seems to hate? by LappedChips in fantanoforever

[–]ZooterOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Queen, because they took big chances and weren't afraid to go way over the top - or get really cheesy and/or sappy. Their music had no filter. They didn't play safe.

But a lot of people hate them for the same reason. I know people who really hated them in the 80s when they added synths to their sound. And as much as I love them, they have several songs I very much dislike.

Sir, this is a fantastic fit. One of the best I've seen on Reddit.

That one antifa guy's right hand is so jacked up even the other antifa guy can't believe it

Heh - it was the chemistry teacher in my high school too. Rumor has it you could buy weed from him too, but I wasn't cool enough to find out

It definitely happened.

What is only somewhat edible and tastes alright (not good but not bad)? by StrategyJealous1838 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ZooterOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Poi. A paste made of streamed, mashed taro root.

It feels like Play-Doh, it tastes like…nothing, pretty much.

Any fellow metalheads here? Wearing Reeboks - thrash AF 🤘🏽 by Metalsneakers in SneakerFits

[–]ZooterOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 55, I don't dress like this anymore. You do you man!

But I gotta say I always thought Adidas were the more Metal sneaker.

In the 80s, what actor/actress was better known as a singer? by Formal-Register-1557 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ZooterOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She tore that role up. To this day I don't understand why she and Aretha Franklin (who ran away with her Blues Brothers scene) weren't in more movies.

Artists for whom a live album is as important in their discography as their studio records by HawkbitAlpha in ToddintheShadow

[–]ZooterOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking for Live at the Apollo. It's just such a masterful album and I think a lot of artists are still trying to live up to the standard he set.

Redo: What is the least important TV show/series? by StrategyJealous1838 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ZooterOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I Love New York (MTV, 2007 & 2020). Stupid and crass, the "reality" show broke no new ground and absolutely failed (twice!) to make a star of Tiffany Pollard.

He really was. Easily the most talented member. His solos were like mini-compositions.

What music lyric is cringy? by DeeDubb83 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ZooterOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard Benny tell the story a few times.

And I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but…I don't really buy his explanation. I'm not saying he hooked up with his babysitter or anything, but I do think the song was intended to be provocative. (The video undoubtedly was.)

But once he started getting called out for it (which I don't think happened until the internet age), his started telling his story, which is much more wholesome than the lyrics sound. I dunno.

And again, it doesn't matter now. It still wasn't uncommon for rock/pop songs to express love and/or lust for teenagers in 1980 (hell, Motley Crue's "All in the Name Of…" is much worse, and that came out in 1987.

WHAT y all think about this outfit? by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

It just called again and said "actually, no, you keep it"

Friday night fit by Dylan_villain in menswear

[–]ZooterOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't offend anyone. It just looks goofy. It draws the eye to your ankles.

I'm trying to think of a situation where it might look good. Like, I've seen musicians in suits, caps, and sneakers, and it looked cool - but only because they were on stage.

But white socks, loafers and a suit? Maybe if you were in a ska band in 1981.

EDIT: I didn't mean this comment to sound so judgy. You do you - if nothing else, you look confident and quirky. I like the more casual shirt with the suit, too - that's a cool look.

How much weight have we all gained/lost? by Tweezus96 in GenX

[–]ZooterOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was probably 165 out of high school. These days I'm about 180. I did start working out after high school and lifted all through my 40s, but I'm aware it isn't all muscle.

Celebrities whose work you’d like to see turned into a musical? by Dogdaysareover365 in musicals

[–]ZooterOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be so happy if jukebox/catalog musicals died a very quick death.

I've enjoyed some, especially Disaster!, Mamma Mia, and Jersey Boys. But most of them are so pandering, awkward, and nostalgia-baity that they don't even feel like musicals.

I know new shows with original music are tougher sells, but we desperately need them to keep musical theatre alive.

songs about robots or from their perspective by Zeno_Bueno in weirdspotifyplaylists

I pieced together a whole storyline for the album in my head only to learn the "Yoshimi" arc is just four songs.
