Caught Hot Hot Heat on Conan last night and thought they kicked ass.

Well, I was reading the new Rolling Stone on the weekend, and they had an interview with Robert Smith. He said something like Hot Hot Heat sound way older than they are, because they have really mature song writing. Basically, he gave them a huge compliment, and they opened for him! - Sun, 26 Oct 2003 1:49pm

I won't pretend I'm not intensely jealous.... It would be hypocritical..... - Sun, 26 Oct 2003 10:33pm

They write songs for teenage hipsters. Its no crime to try to make it big but as artists, well, they're not really artists. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 12:22am

Knoblin, the same could have been said about the Stones. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 2:51pm

I'd have to say comparing the two is completely ridiculous. Knoblin is right, you have to keep in mind HHH is a trendy scenester�s wet dream, no real authenticity or new ground broken; just kind of a gimmick. It's the nature of the being trendy. Trends come only to be disposed of and replaced with something different. I�ll be surprised if their fame lasts as long as one of Mick Jagger�s wives nevermind the band. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 4:10pm

I don't disagree with you at all. My only point was that people did say that about the Stones back in the day. I don't think I made that part clear enough. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 4:47pm

No i think its just that the scene in victoria is mostly metal fans. Hot hot Heat are doing good and the only place i hear bad mouthing is on here. I am happy that they are doing so well. No matter what the city is, people will always bad mouth hometown talent that does better then anyone else. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 5:26pm

I'm not a metal fan. Not in the least. I really can't relate to it, nor would I want to. I'm not personally attacking the band or anything, but they are a trend. They're life sized parodys of themselves. Nothing new, original, inventive, or worth consideration. They've made their choice and they've chosen to be a gimmick or a trendy spectacle.

Maybe I like a little depth or originality, but that seems to be asking for quite a lot nowadays. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 5:40pm

You'll notice that the 'metal fans' arent the ones judging Hot Hot HEat in this thread. And I for one think it kicks ass to see some local boys making it in the big time. Personally I think they have a The Cure vibe which isnt that bad.. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 6:32pm

I never said the people in this thread WERE metal heads. I just said that this scene in victoria seems to be a lot of metal. I just said thats why it seems to be more slagging on them, to me anyways. - Mon, 27 Oct 2003 7:45pm

It's derivative, but it was a kick-ass performance.

It takes balls to go in front of a N. American viewing audience of more than 20 million and really pull it off. - Tue, 28 Oct 2003 6:48am

Man, I still don't hear any Cure in HHH..... That might be because I listen to a LOT of The Cure..... I think if I was a casual fan of The Cure, rather than an uber-fan, I'd hear a lot more Cure in HHH..... - Tue, 28 Oct 2003 12:29pm

I've got the cure for HHH, its called a flamethrower HAWHAWHAW. Just Kidd'n, I used to dig those guys before they got a guitarist.

Anyone remember the Black Vein Prophacy?
Was the local grindcore band to see a few years back, same drummer as HHH & Cam from 3" of Blood was in it too... - Wed, 29 Oct 2003 9:58am
