Nah.☕

A music channel on TV? Man, I think that was back during my lunch break or something...

When bands like this get all the hype, it’s no wonder people think Christian rock is a total oxymoron. ☕

Which one?

For sure. And you can't forget Fred Durst's legendary solo here:

I really feel like a lot of albums from those older metal bands who started flirting with glam metal in the late 80s get way too much hate:
Judas Priest - Turbo, RAM IT down (even if that one isn't strictly glam)
Saxon - Innocence is no Excuse, Rock the Nation, Destiny
Accept - Eat The Heat
Savatage - Fight for The rock
Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
Krokus - The Blitz, Change of Address, Heart Attack

The worst part? Most of these records just didn't hit with the mainstream crowd. Fans absolutely trashed them for chasing a softer sound. Meanwhile, you had Def Leppard—who basically pivoted from heavy metal on their debut straight into pure pop by the time Hysteria rolled around—becoming massive superstars.

I haven't really kept up with much after TCI. Is any of that stuff actually worth a listen?

Honestly, I bet this thread gets locked pretty soon.👍

But since you asked, my favorites are Green Day, Jonas Brothers, Linkin Park, Blink-182, Simple Plan, and Tokio Hotel.

Look, we all know it. Paul and Gene always prioritized the money, but they still managed to churn out killer, fun hard rock tracks. It’s a huge difference compared to some of those later bands where chasing the paycheck became the only thing that mattered.

Exactly. God forbid anyone actually writes a fun, catchy song. If you find yourself humming a chorus or a riff later on, it’s an instant sign that it’s total garbage.🙄 ☕

Oh, so that automatically means they suck? 🙄

Is this the guy with the long hair?
Man, I just realized he looks exactly like some girl from my high school class. 😲

Is Elvis in any of these shots? If he is, which one?

That’s how they introduce themselves, but it doesn't have to be that way...

It’s not really an apples-to-apples comparison... Personally, I lean more toward Thompson's stuff. Don't get me wrong, Joe isn't bad, but I don't listen to him much. Honestly, I feel like he got a bit overhyped after he passed away. And since Joe wasn't really into politics, I'm not even sure why this is being brought up here...
@revolution909😁Patriotism is exactly what Thompson sings about in so many of his tracks...
