Fairly certain Pearl Jam still sell out arenas everywhere they play and headlined The Isle Of White festival this year... and that's over 20 years since 'Ten' came out.]]> gary191265 NoticeboardFri, 12 Oct 2012 09:38:41 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,915122#msg-915122 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,915122#msg-915122 Walk In The Shadows NoticeboardFri, 12 Oct 2012 06:18:21 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,915112#msg-915112 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,915112#msg-915112 Coco NoticeboardFri, 12 Oct 2012 04:34:32 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,915111#msg-915111 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,915111#msg-915111

Then look at what this genre was doing and what came out of it in that time frame that's still as regarded?
One of the biggest ones would be Aerosmith's resurrection, and how did they kick start that? By collaborating with a hot new rap group...

As for John Terry - just goes to show, doesn't matter how many times you fuck up - if you're a rich footballer you'll always get away with it. Four match ban when Suarez got eight, because being racist a number of times is apparently worse than doing it once. Nice one FA. Muppets. Can't help feeling I might be leading this one off track.

Unless you're Rio Ferdinand, who claimed that 50 Cent came along and 'changed the game completely'!! Yup, he made it infinitely shitter and showed that mumbling like a semi literate hobo was no barrier to success. Plus listening to him can make you 'forget' about taking important drug tests...]]> RAMSAY NoticeboardWed, 10 Oct 2012 07:15:50 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,914796#msg-914796 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914751,914796#msg-914796
