Melissa Auf Der Maur

yeah, but he got his ass beat by a rat-tail sporting Ewan McGregor

could you be any more over the top? it's a song. how many have you written? can we hear them and judge them in the same way? so you don't like it, big deal.

The ability to create a song is not required to be critical of other song. She isn't into the song, and thinks it is generic... obviously you feel different, why not tell us why you think it's good instead of attacking Linz? (and yes, your questions were an attack.... a fairly polite one, but still an attack)

We already GOT one like that in NYC!
Z-100! My oldest loves that station but turns the dial when Brittney or Jessica Simpson comes on..........

christ, if i made a thread for every song i heard that i didn't like, i'd need my own message board. i certainly don't feel the need to start a thread telling people how utterly shite a song is. am i not supposed to voice my own opinion because Linz's posts are in pink, or something? i don't see "Thou shalt not voice a differing opinion to an SG on the boards," anywhere on the Boards FAQ.

i like the song. i like the album. i like the girl, she's a nice person. it's generic? what, so every song has to sound completely different now? if they were the rules, there would only be about 15-20 different albums in the world. that's just my opinion.

Well, you never really voiced an opinion, you basically just tried to tear down Linz's right to voice hers. And further, if you really wanted to make your own thread about every song you hate, you'd have more than the right to do so. Next time, just try and provide a counter-argument to defend something, not go straight at the person.

Can I hear a song?

It's not completely horrid but it is overrated to hell and back, I first heard it on a radio show called out of order a long time ago and there wasn't much to be excited about to me, just an effort on her part, it seems as though she could do better, if she can do better...

I'd like to hear a song

i liked the album. however, 'followed the waves' is probably my least favourite song. have you listened to the full album? the other songs are pretty good. i didn't think it was overly celebrated. the only time i heard it on the radio was at 2 in the morning. i haven't heard any commercials or advertisements or posters, and she's from canada. 'real a lie' is a good song.

I love the cd! And I saw her in concert the other day and she rocked. Too bad people were shouting "show us your tits" during my favorite song "Taste You"

Melissa Auf Der Maur does have a fairly good voice...but if she's the one who wrote that song...then she needs to hire a songwriter, desperatly.

Maybe she should hit up Ben Moody. Hell, if he wrote for Avril Lavigne, I think he'll write for just about anybody now.

Turns out Auf Der Maur is just as crazy as Courtney Love:

"When I was 19, I dreamed aliens came down and told me to make music my life," she said, without a trace of kidding around. "These random individuals had been put into a pyramid to experience three-dimensional sound and then were put on a mission of passing it on. And in this dream, they said to me, 'Music has this power, and you'd better go and be a dutiful soldier to it.' "

Full story ...

i have the entire album.
ive listened to it about 1000 times already.
it kinda sucks, but its totally addictive, and it helps that i've had a crush on her since she joined hole.
she wears pretty tights in the insert....

It's way commercial sounding, and not very interesting. The melody's terrible.

Yeah, it's a pretty bad song.

This is for souljacker:
