..but I do agree with your feelings on "Have You Heard."

MINISTRY
FILTH PIG
This song's main riff is so bogged down and soporific that it makes "Iron Man" sound like "Flight Of The Bumblebee".
The beefy bass line and wailing harmonica evoke Zep's "When The Levee Breaks", but the swampy, stinky guitars ooze like a stream of fresh manure seeping from a Wisconsin dairy farm.

or the groundwater of an Eastern NC Hog waste tank... :wink:
Damn Bear, That IS a bad odor.
I personally take great delight in the fact that C.C.
Deville and anything involving him has it's very own separate category......
Talk Dirty To Me...C. C. Deville rips off Rick Neilsen.....
yup... the magazine reamed CC

NEED YOU TONIGHT
It wasn't bad enough these Aussies built this song around an incredibly annoying cod-funk lick that would bore into your skull and stay there for days; they also used variations of the same lick in most of their other hits
I guess this thread needs some revitalization :wink:
I've been lagging on it...but I'll get back to it.

WHITE STRIPES
"OFFEND IN EVERY WAY"
White Blood Cells
Slipshod playing is a big part of Jack White's shtick and garage rock appeal, but it can't hide the fact that White is struggling with this song's simplistic riff.
His phrasing meanders as if he's trying to remember the riff, and the botched G chord roughly two minutes into the song is one of the most painful mistakes ever recorded. Only an attempt at a solo could have made this recording more offensive.
I was big on the White Stripes for a second.
It might have had to do with watching my then girlfriend shaking her ass in time to "Hello Operator" (De Stijl), in her underwear. I think I was sold after that.
I think the first album is the best, "Elephant" is okay. But I never get on a White Stripes binge, really.
In my heart, they're okay, but in my mind they are to 60s garage and punk, what Eric Clapton is to Chicago Blues.
