@Anonymous: That's sweet. Anyone can learn to play good music. Lets see those mother fuckers write a hit single, as the Beatles, the rolling stones, and the beach boys did. Fuck Elvis.

@Anonymous: Skrillex writes all his lyrics. He's a true singer/song writer in the tradition of those greats you mentioned.

@Anonymous: 2/10, try harder next time

@Anonymous: this statement is obviously false. Why in the world would you lie on the internet?

LOL, none of dave grohl's bands were legendary, not by a tiny chance.

Dave Grohl, on the other hand is an amazing artist like only a few exist in music history. Unfortunately all his bands are crap.

@Anonymous: I've heard of the germs, that's why I wash my hands after taking a poop.

@Anonymous: why would I care about pat smith? he is mediocre to say the least

@Anonymous: is that joe pesci?

@Anonymous: Interesting universe where you guys live where worse = good. Nirvana was an awesome band, Foo Fighters are good (if a little commercial) the Germs were also good.

I'm hoping that the ignorance being put forth in this thread is symptomatic of young posters.

@Anonymous: tough stuff to write:
"my name is skrillex x ∞"
"wubbwubb dubdubb x ∞"

@dingo8baby: nope. he was offered to joint tom petty and the heart breakers after playing ONCE on snl and never played for pearl jam. may have played with them, never as a member

@dingo8baby: > ambiguous at best
I don't think the rest of us are having a problem with the difference between being "in" a band and just "playing for" a band. Session musicians play for all sorts of bands all the time both live and in the studio, but they're never a member of that band. The wikipedia passage you posted seems to only confirm exactly what the other guy said, not prove him incorrect.

@dingo8baby: stopped reading at wikipedia
