Based on what we know, who do you feel will have more success in the near future when it comes to album sales, general public perception and reputation?

I think we all know who gives Eddie K. his one vote on this poll.

QUOTE(LiveRoCkS77 @ Jun 3 2010, 11:00 am) *

Aside from commercial success, TGF already has way more respect from music fans than Ed does. Ed's music is cookie cutter, generic garbage. 2 chord bullshit with drum raps a five year old could come up with. No talent whatsoever involved in ANY of Ed's new music...none, zero, nada, nil.

I guarantee you that Ed could not have come up with EVEN ONE RIFF in any of TGF'S songs, not one. The songs TGF wrote are som much better from a lyrical standpoint as well, simply because they don't just involve the same old God, water, save me crap that Ed has written about for 20 years now. The thing is, it was clever and well done before. He asked pertinent questions in his music.

Now? It's all the happy "I've found god, look at me!" bullshit. He might as well be singing that preachy gospel garbage now and cut it down to a "God laid his hands on me!" crap. God, his music is so repetitive and boring, it's utterly fucking putrid and unlistenable.

The utter morons who contradict this with TGF copying seventies bands? God I feel sorry for your parents and anybody who is forced to know you. Uteer retards who prove as they speak, that they know nothing about music. ANYBODY, and I mean ANYBODY who makes music these days sounds or reminds you of somebody else. There is absolutely nothing left to be done that is original as far as rock music goes. Every single artist out there sounds like somebody else.

The difference is creativity and effort. Ed's new music is the exact same shit as the last 3 garbage albums he wrote, no difference. Same lyrics, same music, same everything. Emulating other garbage artis like Daughtry who put music out there simply to get rich off brain dead fanboys like Nick who eat it up like retards.

TGF's music took real fucking talent, effort and collaboration to make. Riffs like those just don't come out of nowhere. There's real bass parts in the music and the lyrics are so much better than Ed's bullshit, it's not even worth debating. Ed's gay ass melodies are boring, rehashed and uncreative, whereas TGF's are hard hitting, creative and catchy.

Bottom line is Ed's music is balls and I'm not buying it. TGF's is decent, not great. But it's catchy and enjoyable. Old style rock and roll was a trillion times better than any of todays pop garbage. Anybody who argues that is so far fucked in the head, they're not worth the time of day. It's fine not to like classic rock, just as it's fine if you enjoy todays pop music. But to argue it's merit on a musical basis is just astounding

TGF's music took talent to make and Ed's took none. End of fucking story.
