Members doppelbanger Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 always seemed the most generic of those "retroish" bands that came out around the same time ie. the vines, the strokes, the hives, the white stripes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuffFuzz Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 always seemed the most generic of those "retroish" bands that came out around the same time ie. the vines, the strokes, the hives, the white stripes etc. Oh, how I remember the summer of 2002. I ran out and bought all the latest cd's of the vines, hives and the strokes. Funny thing is I don't listen to any of them anymore, except i'm in love with the white stripes now, go figure eh?

Members DADGADammit Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 that was horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrMagoo92 Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 I think they are alright. I have Highly Evolved, and it has some pretty good songs, the rest kinda seems like filler. I enjoy The Strokes, The Hives and The White Stripes alot more, with the last being one of my all time favorite bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metalhead Mike Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 The first Strokes CD is still kinda OK in its own way. Really lazy and lo-fi sounding. The Vines have always been horrible, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members krish Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 I preferred the vines to the the strokes or white stripes. I thought their last record was a bit hit/miss though. I still like listening to them on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members masterwuhan Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Of all those bands, I'm only really familiar with the Vines' Vision Valley. Overall I like it. Nothing groundbreaking, but well-recorded rock 'n' roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrweems Posted May 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 that was horrible! I found it slightly humerous, entertaining, and inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doppelbanger Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 they did have a great video though, that ride with me song...the one where they were in a gym playing and then it showed all of these other bands playing in the gym with them. i just liked how it showed a gym full of bands of all different styles.

Members placebo62 Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 putting the hives, the vines, the white stripes and the stokes in the same basket only because they start with 'The' is retarded. I dont love the vines, saw them once and they put on a good rock show, have some good tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aeroslepperin Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 the singer guy who's name i can't remember always seemed like a contrived cobain wanna-be. on both letterman and i think one of the mtv awards, all his bs seemed (to me) to be really thought out and (pre) planned. especially the over-the-top vocal delivery which he graced us with on both shows (and i'm sure in many concerts)...at the time, it occurred to me that he watched live tonight: sold out (when kurt's guitar is out of tune and screams come as you are) a few too many times and decided to copy a one-time, split second decision and turn it into a shtick.plus i think it's pretty common knowledge that they started as a nirvana cover band back in australia....which probably influences my opinion above.heh. with all that said, i bought the first record for $6 and i think it's ok. some good songs, some bad...[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
