| Cordova Bay User Info... | The "LISTS" have started. Now that the "LIST" season has started we can expect all sorts of them--best dressed; worst dressed; least dressed... but here from tinsel town is the Guitar World list report: LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Limp Bizkit, which suffered slow sales of its long-awaited new album, has been named worst band of the year by readers of Guitar World magazine. Creed, another act that draws sharp reactions, came in at No. 2 even though the Christian combo took the year off. New York rockers the Strokes were No. 3, followed by "all pop-punk bands" at No. 4 and pop-punk band Good Charlotte at No. 5. Limp Bizkit's "Results May Vary" has sold one million copies after 13 weeks, and ranks No. 64 on the U.S. pop charts. Its previous release, 2000's Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water," ranked No. 5 after 13 weeks with sales of four million copies. Metallica's poor-selling new album, "St. Anger," was named biggest disappointment, but it also came in at No. 2 as the best metal album, ranking behind Black Label Society's "The Blessed Hellride." Metallica's Kirk Hammett was named best metal guitarist, a possible consolation prize for having all his solos cut from "St. Anger," and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was named best rock guitarist, notwithstanding his initial claim to fame as the drummer with defunct rock band Nirvana. Another long-gone band, Led Zeppelin, released the best rock album of 2003, the 3-CD live package "How the West Was Won," according to Guitar World readers. That category was rounded out by Audioslave's self-titled debut, the White Stripes' "Elephant," Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Vicious Cycle" and Rush's "Rock in Rio." The other big disappointments of the year were listed as "all new music," the break-up of Texas metal veterans Pantera, the continued absence of a new Guns 'N Roses album, and Marcos Curiel's departure from Christian rock band P.O.D. - Thu, 1 Jan 2004 9:54am | ||

| H User Info... | Hey godboy, you're such a fucking hypocrite. How do You know that this graham cracker of a man is atheist? Huh? Just cause he made fun of creed and cristians he's automatically an atheist? Like people of other religions have a v-chip in them to not hack down god-boys? And beside, POD have declared themselves a christian rock band. And what proof do you have that any member of Pantera is atheist? Do you even know they broke up? Fool. - Sat, 3 Jan 2004 1:15pm | ||
| stefan User Info... | hahahaha oh shit ya he seems real religious! prolly buddhist! and those pantera boys, i hear their hardcore religious!! actually i saw them at my church last sunday... and ya POD are christian guys, so are evanescence, when was the last time you heard them talked about as, that christian band evanescence.. my point was simply, why should they be tagged as being "that christian band Creed" as opposed to "Creed". Fuck, noone brings your personal beliefs infront of your bands name, so why should you do it to them cause they are christian? Fool - Sat, 3 Jan 2004 4:23pm | ||

| _Griphin_ User Info... | Guitar World is an awesome magazine, even if you don't play an instrument, a lot of the articles they have on bands and stuff make it worth picking up ever month. In the magazine mentioned, there's a really decent interview with Dave Grohl regarding the Probot project, for instance. - Sun, 4 Jan 2004 10:54pm | ||
