Top 5 wuss rock bands

You need an Eddie Rabbit avi.

Foo Fighters. I am an old school metal guy and listening anything grunge is wussy other than Alice In Chains.
Well AIC isn't grunge, hell grunge wasn't even a thing, just a made up marketing word for the record companies.

Also, Jerry Cantrell is criminally underrated guitarist, then and now.
 
Polished will always be an insult to me when referring to a musician. Good music needs grit and edge. Boston isn’t a wuss band, they’re just incredibly bland and uninteresting. Zero songs on my playlist
That's kind of why I don't like guys like Joe Satriani or Yngwie Malmsteen. Incredible from a technical aspect, but too clean and polished, no soul, edge, or emotion in their music.
 
Megadeth has the better catalog fosho. Metallica's first 3/4 are fire, but I listen to Megadeth way more often.

I've really like their last few. Dystopia was great.
Their first two albums, especially Kill Em All, are Mustaine written riffs and guitars.

I am aware.

I've argued multiple times on here that Kill em' All could work to Megadeth's favor.

He sure is. Awesome tone. I guess early on Eddie Van Halen took a liking to him and gave him a bunch of equipment when he was broke and not yet famous.

Isn’t Four Horsemen for Metallica and The Mechanix for Megadeth same song?

Not a Satriani fan but I like Malmsteen earlier albums also his Alcatrazz album and Steeler with the wild neo-classical intro before Hot On Your Heels. Saw him 4 times before 1986 including an improvised solo show at Wolfgangs in SF when Graham Bonnett baled on the Alcatrazz show in 1983.

Yep. Saw an interview a while back. Guess they hit it off on tour. Eddie got some new signature gear from Fender including the EVH guitar. Jerry asked if he could buy one, Eddie said something like " fuck that, I'll give you one" then went on to say how when he (Eddie) was broke, no one gave him shit, but now that he could buy whatever he wanted, everything was free.

A few weeks later when the tour ended, Jerry forgot about it and went home to Seattle, he was living in his manager's basement. The guy welcomed him home then said he needed to move his shit out of the garage so he could park his car, Jerry was like WTF are you talking about?, they went and the garage was full of guitars, amps, foot boards etc that Eddie had sent over a few weeks before.

They became great friends and used to hang out playing "name that riff" on their guitars and Eddie always picked him up when he was in Seattle.
 
I am going to get controversial here: Metallica went wuss in the 90's. Putting out absolutely attrocious crap beginning with Load. Kill Em All great, Lightning and Puppets legendary, Justice good but Lars totally fucked up production, and finally Black Album a head scratcher for (no uptempo stuff at all on this). Hell they even played with SF Symphony. That is wuss. So basically 1983 to 1988 Metallica was a decent band and maybe the most overrated band ever after that.
Don't even get me started on Metallica. I have a true and abiding love/hate relationship with them.

Growing up, to say I was obsessed with Metallica's music is putting it mildly. As much as I like Kill 'Em All and love, love, love Master of Puppets and Ride the Lighting ("Guilty as charged, but dammit. it ain't right!"), if I had to go to a deserted island and could only take three albums, ...And Justice For All would be one of them (and I'd take the amateur remaster the bass player did with actual, you know, bass).

I've told this story but I remember the first time my buddy Geoff and I heard the black album debuted on 103 WKDF in Nashville, we were standing in the car stereo section of a Walmart because we thought we could get the best sound there. At the end we stood there dumbfounded. "WTF did we just hear? Who was that because that could NOT have been Metallica." And that was only the start of horrible music, commercialized bullshit, douchebaggery from James with his stupid little cuffed jeans, black boots, white tshirts, rockabilly hair, hot rods and Lars being the bleach-blonde crewcut superior dickhead and Kirk's silly little painted black fingernails and playing Les Pauls on stage. What a fucking joke. And Trujillo and his East LA shorts-down-to-his-ankles cholo bullshit look and crab walking all over the stage.

This, my friends, is NOT Metallica...

The sight of that band makes me sick to my stomach.

Want to hate Metallica forever? Watch the documentary and you'll see what James is really made of, cowering to Lars like a pathetic little bitch and having to have some talking head psychiatrist in the room at all times or he'll shatter like the little bitch he is.

FUCK METALLICA

Meanwhile Mustaine has stayed true to himself, the music, his fans, his family and is happy, healthy, cranking out top-shelf shit, living an amazing life in rural Tennessee away from the California bullshit and doing better than ever.

And according to Mustaine, James puked all over himself from stage fright the first time they performed for an audience.

I never bought them firing Mustaine for being a drunk, they were after all known as Alcohollica. I'm of the belief it's because
he didn't kowtow to or put up with Lars' bullshit.
