My friend recomended me a band called breaking benjamin. I had never heard of them before but i decided to give them a chance. He sed hed burn me were not alone or something if i burnt him my American Idiot cd. I agreed. They are pretty god but i have something bad to say. They are hust another rock band. They will be Hasbeens in no time. They didnt break away from the cliche new age rock bands. they have a bunch of good songs but nothing to really brag about. They are like hoobastank and evanescence. I like to call them one hit wonders. They come out with a cd and then poof. U never hear from them again. Unless you were like really in to them and followed them on tour or whatever. I heard from somewhere that evanescence was gonna come out with an album, but i think its too late for them. They lost their momentum or wutever (hard to explain). Hoobastank did come out with another album but again, it was kinda too late. It wasnt very popular at all except for that one song which in these days u dont need to buy the whole album just for one song, u can download it for free. Also, about breaking benjamin, i looked up some of their tabs abd they r simple enough for a 2 year old to learn. After all this critisism, i have to say that the album is pretty good by todays standards. I am much more keen for the classics that have sticked throughout the ages. The simplest band that is one of my favorites is Nirvana. I would really like to hear some feedback from the people who have heard or people who havent. Those who have can agree or disagree with and please explain. Those of you who havent, feel free to ask me or other who have heard the band questions. I would be happy to answer any of them. This is all my opinion and i dont mean at all to offend anyone.

Peace and Rock

I have not heard of them but it would not suprise me that another average Rock band came out. I personaly find that most bands in todays era get one song thats well known and then they poof out again. I'm not a big fan of new rock, it seems to be all power chords and no lead. So I say, 'Let it be'. I want to see more Led Zepplins, more Deep Purples and more Dire Straites.


Rock on, Rock hard and Rock heavy!!!

Hi, I haven't heard of them either. But like you said these new bands don't last long! One album and they're gone. I also think that these new bands have some sort of wierd way I don't know, maybe laziness that they end up making a song with a tab easier than twinkle twinkle. I don?t really know if there is a solution to this lame songs. I guess if we start teaching more of the oldies kind of stuff like Guns N' Roses or Metallica Led Zeppelin even better or maybe some Jimi Hendrix. Make people play more difficult tabs and maybe we'll have some effects on new bands motivate more people to play better.
I don't really know what you think about this, but lets try it, see if it works out, there's no down side on this. I hope you all agree with me. Let me know!

Keep up the good music ,
Rock on,
