Apparently, not even the members of Metallica did.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
You know, as great as Metallica are, they have put out a couple of shit albums.

@Holofan4life  
*cough* _{St. Anger} *cough*

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Exactly! Say, why don’t you do a review of the documentary Some Kind of Monster?

@Holofan4life  
Not sure. I may review the album itself for my Was It Really That Bad? series.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Good idea.

I feel like I’ll lose all my hipster cred when I have to admit to my friends that I like The Weeknd.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
I like The Weeknd also. I think they are actually one of the few commercial bands that are actually good.

@Holofan4life  
Hate to break it to you, but The Weeknd isn’t actually a band. He’s a singer. (I know, I thought the same thing when I first heard him.)

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Really? I actually didn’t know that. In that case, he’s one of the few commercial singers that are actually good.

@Holofan4life  
Yeah, though the songs he did with Daft Punk admittedly helped my perception of him. (I quite love Daft Punk, in case you didn’t know.)

Apparently Snoop Dogg will be inducting Tupac Shakur into the  
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

@Holofan4life  
Why?

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Because he was an old friend and collaborator.

@Holofan4life  
No, I mean, why is he being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Isn’t he, well, not rock?

@TheHappySpaceman
 
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame kinda has an identity crisis. It doesn’t know if it wants to be a  
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or a Music Hall of Fame.

@Holofan4life  
I feel like that would be like inducting Dave Mustaine into a rap hall of fame.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Well, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Madonna, so Dave Mustaine going into a rap hall of Fame isn’t that crazy.

@Holofan4life  
Honestly, I didn’t like that decision, either. Just think of all the great rock acts who have been repeatedly passed over in favor of artists who couldn’t be called rock in the slightest. The Cars still aren’t in, nor are Kraftwerk, Chic, Steppenwolf, Jane’s Addiction, or The Zombies. And we’re just talking about last year’s nominees.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Like I said, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame doesn’t know if it wants to be a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or a Music Hall of Fame. On the one hand, they want to honor rock and roll. On the other hand, they want to sell more tickets.

@Holofan4life  
They should just change its name to “The Museum of Popular Contemporary Music” and be done with it.

@TheHappySpaceman
 
Yeah, you’re probably right.

@Holofan4life  
I dont listen to much rap nowadays but I always thought too pack was fucking overrated.

@MoogSourceVermona
 
To be honest, I’m more of a Biggie Smalls fan.
