milton75 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Terminator 2 > Terminator Short Circuit 2 > Short Circuit Erm... that's it. [emoji23] In what world are T2 and Short Circuit 2 better than their preceding films?The correct answer is:Godfather Part IIEmpire Strikes BackWrath of KhanX-Men 2For a Few Dollars MoreI would say Evil Dead II, but it's not really a sequel.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I was half joking about, Short Circuit 2 although it tugged my heart-strings like no film before or since. And Terminator 2 is rated 8,5 on IMDB, with Terminator 1 only scoring 8.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Appropriately, their first single and best song Longview, is about having a w**k. Loved Dookie, when I were a lad, but it's all been downhill since then. Mind-numbing-faux-rock-masturbatory-Americana-bollocks. The gig sounds like a shitey Scottish version of the Fyre Festival f**k up, clown shoe amateurism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stunned that T2 gets rated better than Terminator though. Edward Furlong is pretty painful viewing. Really what it had going for it was the special effects, and (for its time) the first Terminator film was just as amazing with those imo. Plus the first one is just full-on incredible in the way Arnie is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Idiot is an absolute masterpiece, far better than Dookie. I agree that American Idiot is tremendous, but 21st Century Breakdown, Uno!, Dos!, Tre! and Revolution Radio are all shite albums, each one worse than the last. They're done.

I would never have guessed that Longview was their first single, I'd assumed Welcome to Paradise was a re-release from its Kerplunk version. Googled it though, and you're spot on. I don't really understand why their early stuff was called EPs anyway. For me "Extended Play" should be more than 4 tracks. Surely loads of singles have 3 B-sides, no?

This has all made me want to go listen to I Heard They Suck Live or something else mid-90s. By random chance I was listening to Pinhead Gunpowder, China Drum and Samiam last week, and I pretty much never listen to any of that stuff anymore. Some of it has held up. Some... not so much.

"NOFX's mainstream success was signified by a growing interest in punk rock during the 1990s, but unlike many of their contemporaries (including Bad Religion, Green Day and The Offspring), they have never been signed to a major label" They went out of their way to mock bands like the Offspring and Blink 182 therefore implicitly recognising the pop punk stuff as of a piece with the ska punk/ skate punk scene hardcore punk. Therefore to describe the music of Green Day and similar bands as an entirely shite version of the decent stuff around that scene at the time as opposed to a direct comparison which you appear to think I'm making is entirely valid.

I haven't dealt with him in years, at our first gig he asked that exact question as soon as we walked in the door. We told him we'd sold 120 and he said "just give me all that money then" Chase yourself. I know some folk in Glasgow who still see him about and he hasn't changed one bit.
