Members rustypickup Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 They most certainly do not suck! Ok, so maybe their not quite as talented as those they are compared to (eg Zeppelin, Sabbath etc) but I promise you, they put on a hell of a show and they sure as hell got the right idea. IMO their album is worth buying but if you're not up for that then it's defintely worth the download. Saw them last Friday night, some of the most fun I've ever had in one night, if you ever get the chance to see them go for it they're a really tight unit that play balls to the wall rock 'n' roll.

They're the most un-inventive, sucky band out there. They're just ripping off the sounds/style made famous by Black Sabbath, Zepplin etc. (altough very watered down) He's got the whole early Ozzy voice going, and their tone and overall playing just sound like {censored} IMO. They're Australian. If I thought they had anything going for them I'd back them but I just can't bring myself to do it. Heaps of people like them though. They are quite popular. Good on them. I just think they're {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born there, and am a Crows fan, but moved to Perth before I turned 1. We're gonna kick these eagles bastards this weekend.....I just got offered a ticket in the eagles members section by a friend lol. I'm making heaps of bets, all these Eagles fans are too high and mighty not to bet me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members STRAT TOOL Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 I bought the CD. I think that even though they are doing a retro kind of thing, it's different than most of the other new bands out there. I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members qwerty__666 Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 Wolfmother were good until they got superbig, I remember seeing them live about two years ago, had alittle hype about them, no album out, really rockin' show. Saw them again when everyone liked them, but they were playing on a big stage and i dont think they can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ZielGuitarist Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 Anyone here ever hear them referred to as Meta-metal or Indie metal? That's what I've heard them called around here..... ...And that frightens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they're {censored}. Exactly. Their song "Woman" is the most irritating piece of {censored} ever produced, in my opinion of course. Some people will dig the retro sound and that's ok. I just don't understand the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PlayboyChris Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 I thought "Woman" was kinda cool, but not cool enough to buy the album. Still, it's kinda sad that we all pine away for real rock'n'roll to make a comeback, yet when a band is making a legitimate attempt at doing exactly that, we trash them for being lame and unoriginal. I've heard the Zep and Sabbath catalog enough in my lifetime; I'm open to new takes on that formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really wanna hear dated throwback type stuff...when bands like GNR, AIC, STP etc were cutting a path they sounded fresh not really retro...well thats the stuff that floats my boat anyway ...not the strokes , vines etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members charliedango Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 They are a throwback to the old era of rock. Bands like Dredge and Cave-In, which in my opinion are great modern rock groups go unrewarded because of bands like Wolfmother. Any band that MTV has to do a feature on (in other words, a paid advertisement of) is worthless. They tried it with The Darkness and I wasn't buying that either. If you want to hear old rock, listen to the older groups who are still releasing new albums to this day. Why celebrate mediocrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put on their first album and go... "Soundgarden... AIC... Pearl Jam... Nirvana..." That record was the earliest sign that the revolution's days were numbered...

Members Evil Jimmi Posted July 26, 2006 Members Share Posted July 26, 2006 I prefer The Sword or High on Fire to Wolfmother . . .
