If your in the mood for some cheese...

Just don't download Achilles! :Puke:

Posing rocks! :) But posers suck, depending on how you define poser haha.

If poser means doing the whole big shot rock star thing with hair and costumes and makeup and rock poses etc... then it rules coz that's what rock & roll is all about!

But to me, a "poser" is somebody who just likes whatever is popular to like to be cool. That is bad.

Eg. Poison are NOT posers. They are rock & rollers through and through and they love showbiz and glam. And everything they do is true to that.

Warrant on the other hand are posers. When glam was popular they did DRFSR and Cherry Pie (awesome albums). When grunge was popular they did Ultraphobic and Belly To Belly.

I still haven't made up my mind about Manowar whether they really believe what they preach or whether it's just a really clever way of ensuring that their fans stay loyal by calling them posers if they don't. I think it's a bit of both. They saw that their whole "Death to false metal" thing worked in the beginning and it just seems to have gotten cheesier as they went along, they definitely work their success around that attitude now I think.
 
It has the best video clip EVER. Not to mention the best lyrics....

"We wear leather, we wear spikes! We rule tonight!
With hands high, fists fill the air, gloves of metal rule the night!"

:lol: :lol:
 
Ultraphobic rocks! Blitzy, while downloading Call To Arms and fighting for the kingdom, please get "Undertow" and "Followed" by Warrant, you wont even realise its them, believe me :rock:
 
I love Warrant! And I love their glam albums. I love glam. And I love posing!!!

What I mean, is that Warrant are gay sellouts because they turned to grunge as soon as glam died.

Why is it a good thing that you won't realise its them? The classic Warrant was awesome hard rock and nothing to be ashamed of! It's the stuff they consider to have more "musical integrity" like Ultraphobic that sucks because it isn't what Warrant were about. Bands should stick to what they are good at. Why try to please a different group of music fans instead of the ones who got you where you are? Especially when the ones you are trying to please are just gonna laugh at you anyway. What grunge fan is gonna buy a Warrant album just coz its grungy, Warrant were a laughing stock to those people.
 
Nggg. Bloody glamhead. I didnt say their old stuff wasnt great! I didnt even say its GOOD you wont realise its them, I simply said "you wont realise its them, believe me!"

Why?

Because it sounds nothing like you would expect them to! Plus I think Blitzy will really like those 2 tracks.

See?

And yes, they are gay sellouts indeed, but their grungey stuff on Ultraphobic isnt half bad at all :D
 
But you put a :rock: after the "you won't realise it's them, believe me" part... implying that it is a good thing that it doesn't sound like the real Warrant. So ner ner ner ner ner :p :grin:
 
No, I was implying that the tracks were great even though it DOESNT sound like what you expect from Warrant!
 
Ohhh ok :)

I think you need to work on your smiley placement techniques. They are lacking in clarity at times. If it doesn't improve I will have to keep you back after school ok? I might get you a tutor to help you improve.
 
My smilies are just fucking fine :mad: :D

Of course, depending on who the after school teacher is, I may be persuaded to stay behind :D
 
"Teacher needs to see me after schooooool.... I think of all the education that I'll miss! But then my homework was never quite like this... I got it bad got it bad got it bad, I'm hot for teacher!"

Hello class, sit up straight Spawny! I have your new teacher here, I'd like you all to be nice to her ok? Her name is Miss Busgirl.

*Watches Spawny act out the lyrics to "Teacher's Pet" by Venom hoping he will get caught and Miss Bugirl will have the same reaction as the teacher in the song*

You'll be looking up those lyrics now to see what I'm talking about won't you... :p
 
What I don't understand still is how they could've been dumb enough to think that doing a grunge album would be successful? :confused:

Honestly nobody could be that stupid. Jani would HAD to have realised that it was a death wish, because no grunge fan is gonna buy a Warrant album whether its grungy or not, and doing a grunge album is gonna turn off the people who would still buy their records: their hard rock fans. At least if they did a hard rock record they would've still appealed to their fan base even if it wasn't as big as it was 5 years earlier.

I guess this mistake is why Warrant were thrown back to the clubs, and are now low billed on multi-band glam tours, whereas Poison who didn't turn gay are still headlining their own arena tours.
 
Warrant listened to record company executives, its as simple as that! I can almost see it now: "Yeah Jani, we get you a wallet chain, you write some songs with grungey style riffs, maybe complain about something and bingo! Noone even remembers glam!"

Wankers :)
 
Ok, well how could the record company executives be that dumb? I mean if they know the industry, they SHOULD know that the grunge crowd aren't gonna buy a Warrant record because of their past, and that they should be targeting their own audience.
