John Wall on Bon Jovi: “Who’s That? … Never Heard of Him.”
John Wall, the Dougie-ing point guard of the Washington Wizards who will miss the first month of the season with a patella stress injury, was asked about singer Jon Bon Jovi, who sat courtside at the team’s preseason game in Toronto against the Raptors. Michael Lee of the Washington Post captured the scene in the locker room:
Wall was asked about Bon Jovi and he replied, “Who’s that?”
Jan Vesely, the Czech forward getting dressed nearby, was stunned as he looked at Wall.
“No. You don’t know him?” Vesely said.
Emeka Okafor, seated in an adjacent locker room stall, shook his head and laughed.
Wall smiled and said, “I’m a 90s baby. I never heard of him.”
Wall was born in 1990 and went to high school in North Carolina, and in his defense, Bon Jovi’s best, most popular work was done in the 80s and … yeah, I really can’t defend this. Sorry, John, I tried. [Wash Post]

He only visited college, so it’s reasonable he never heard it whilst passing a party or two to put up extra shots in the gym.

I’ve give you the second and third, but if you have Poison (or Warrant or Skid Row or that lousy more than words can say band) above Bon Jovi, you’re just hating.

you’d still lose to me on Poison. Those guys were the worst, but they were big time.
Also, the Eagles are worse than any band you mentioned, except KISS. KISS is the absolute bottom of the barrel, but the Eagles are next from the bottom. And that’s completely discounting that margaritaville man, since he’s not a band.

There’s a heavy Nirvana backlash, but if you go back and listen to the non radio cuts, their songs hold up very well. I’ll watch Live at the Paramount everytime it’s on Palladia.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:33 AM

Honestly, I like saying it because it sounds cool. I will go with since you think LZ is awful, I assume there are many other levels of wrongness you inhabit when it comes to music selection.

Watching the Wheels is way better than Imagine, although the basic piano chords are the same. His Stand By Me is one of my favorite remade songs ever. Conversely, Stevie Wonder’s We Can Work it Out is my favorite re-make of a Beatles song.

Nevermind didn’t change rock music, it was just the first music of that kind that got played on mainstream radio. The breakthrough wasn’t their music at all.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:38 AM
The only reason I give the Eagles a pass is because of how much each band member hated each other, they all realized they were all sacks of shit.

October 18th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
That’s kind of contradictory. If there’s a ton of music like Nirvana, then why was Nirvana the first of its kind to be played in the mainstream? That’s got to speak to Nirvana’s talent rather than dumb luck.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
I think it sounds pretty cool too. BTW…I was being pretty facetious about the 3 bands I listed.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
People who hate Zeppelin and Nirvana have never gone through their catalog and listened to live recordings, early material, or other stuff that wasn’t a radio hit. If you listen to Live at the Paramount or Physical Graffiti, there’s amazing stuff there that wasn’t played to death on radio. That, and there’s tons of people out there that hate any band that was popular for no other reason besides the fact that they were popular. These people are generally referred to as assholes.

Why was Nirvana the first to be played in the mainstream? Not too sure, maybe people were getting fed up with the hair bands. But bands like the Pixies were playing that kind of music 3-4 yrs prior to Nevermind. And much better too.

October 18th, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Nevermind didn’t change rock music, it was just the first music of that kind that got played on mainstream radio.
Can’t speak to the radio and music scenes of everywhere in the nation. Teen Spirit opened the doors to all the other “alternative” bands that came along with them. Also, Kurt Cobain took all the bullets from the people that were dead enders of the metal scene. Pearl Jam took some heat too, but Cobain – his look, his inability to not speak freely about his distaste for a stale rock scene, he took way more than his share of the venom.
The wave of Ten, Dirt, Chris Cornell and later some others like Green Day helped but there was a shitload of animosity at Nevermind initially.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:45 AM
Exactly
Agreed….
… disagree. Dislike Badmottafinger, Dirt is aight, but Core is a classic. That album was great.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:46 AM
I used to know a guy that lived in the LA area his whole life, he told a story about being friends with a club owner that had Winger play regularly. He swung a deal with the guy to have Kip Winger sing for his girlfriend on her birthday. Apparently Kip went all out, singing falsetto, grabbing his crotch, twirling around, the whole deal for some gal sitting on a couch backstage.

Smells Like Teen Spirit and the video were both so fucking awesome, there was no ignoring it. We were getting a cashed-out GNR with 9 minute videos and a non-Mainstream Metallica that really didnt connect with non-headbangers, and all the rage and angst of great rock was returned almost overnight with Nevermind.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:47 AM

late 90s was a dirty butthole for rock music. what was good then? korn? 99 was when MMJ was born, but i lump them into the oughts group.

I imagine you are annoyed at the failings of Lead Zeppelin, the Beetles, and Guns and Roses.

Pixies had that “too cool for school” vibe, too high concept, too inclusive. Nirvana had an every-man quality about them.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:52 AM
I agree with all of this. My whole point was more to the fact that they didn’t “change” music in regards to being innovative. There type of music was already in existence.

That was actually the original name, if I’m not mistaken.

I hated the Unplugged Nirvana set as I dont want to hear them acoustic. Mayber for Something in the Way but thats about it. The Classic Albums with Butch Vig re-telling the production of the Nevermind recordings is so awesome.
Frances Farmer Takes Her Revenge is a great workout song from In Utero.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:55 AM
That is 100% true, especially about Guns N Roses. People were really getting tired of the overly-serious, self-conscious “epic” style. November Rain remains awesome beyond words but Estranged was total overkill, as funny as it is to watch today.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Agreed.
I don’t quite get the Nirvana hate and I don’t quite get all the love for Metallica. They’ve done loads of very mediocre and formulaic music.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Come on! I thought I had gotten that band completely out of my head. Thanks alot.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:56 AM
Sort of…
“Page, Plant, Bonham and Jones played their first live show together on September 7, 1968, in Copenhagen. For this tour they were billed as “The Yardbirds, Featuring Jimmy Page.” They were fulfilling a Yardbirds commitment that was still on the books from when the last incarnation of that band disbanded. The band goes on to record the first album in the studio and the plan was still to call the band “The New Yardbirds”. As a contract was being signed with Atlantic Records and on the eve of their first gig following the album sessions, they received a cease and desist order from Chris Dreja’s (founder of the original Yardbirds)attorney. So then recalling the famous Keith Moon joke, the name was changed to Led Zeppelin. **Fun Fact** The misspelling of lead to Led was to avoid any confusion over pronunciation. This whole answer was paraphrased from an interview with Jimmy Page from Guitar World Magazine/ March 2009.”
October 18th, 2012 at 10:56 AM
Our lady peace is an underrated band. Saw them live years ago, very good show.
October 18th, 2012 at 10:56 AM
Do you think R.E.M. had that vibe too before the radio started playing them? I don’t think the Pixies had that vibe at all, I would just attribute it more to them not being mainstream, which isn’t necessarily their fault.

late 90′s were a little rough. the guys that did the heavy slogging during the revolt of the early 90′s were falling apart. PJ was warring with TM, and songwriting within the band was a sore spot. BiNaural was a failure. Heroin was hurting bands like RHCP, AIC, and STP and the dude from Sublime. Soundgarden was done. The new bands didn’t really measure up so you had Blink 182, Creed, Rage and Kid Rock running around making pay. People only had used up all their angst already so it was a bit of a vaccuum.

To continue that thought, that’s for my thoughts on rock music. I think Running down a dream, and Room at the Top (or even Wake Up Time) are both fantastic songs by Tom Petty. But I’d say Running Down a Dream is a way better rock song. The others are still fantastic and I might even think Room at the Top is his best song.

It’s difficult to judge bands where deaths changed their composition.
That being said, Chapman was thirty years too late.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:12 AM
That covers album is without a doubt the worst album ever made and I own Cypress Hill’s “Los Grandos Existos en Espanol”
October 18th, 2012 at 11:13 AM
NIN, Rage, and Tool were in heavy rotation in high school, most notably The Downward Spiral. That CD was HUGE at my school.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:13 AM

Remember the Pearl Jam/Soundgarden hybrid…Temple of the Dog
October 18th, 2012 at 11:14 AM
Man on the Moon and Nightswimming are incredible songs.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:14 AM
The Fragile is a vastly (vast, vast fortune … vast!) superior album to Downward Spiral.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:14 AM
MP III can party with me anytime.
lets go heavy on MMJ, Tool and scotch.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:15 AM
Both outstanding though.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:15 AM
What’s wrong with Rage? I have fond memories of tokin up on the way to ultimate frisbee games listening to Evil Empire
October 18th, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Lest we all forget that Sehnsucht came out in 1997.

Remember that time Chris Cornell did that stuff with Timbaland? Easily the most embarrassing thing ever done by a “respected” musician right?
October 18th, 2012 at 11:17 AM
there is an alt station here that plays Sublime quite a bit still. I never fail to crank it, I still love that shit.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:17 AM
NIN is fucking awesome. Absolutely fucking awesome. Reznor, man. Reznor.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:17 AM
The Fat of the Land is probably the best album to work out to of all time.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:17 AM
Just saw them in concert a week ago
October 18th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
NIN, Rage, and Tool were in heavy rotation in high school, most notably The Downward Spiral. That CD was HUGE at my school.
I was 90-94 and it was all Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, REM and Pixies.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Absolutely fucking awesome live show. Untouchable.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Fess up: who else owned the Family Values Tour album that had Rammstein on it.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
NIN, Rage, and Tool were in heavy rotation in high school, most notably The Downward Spiral. That CD was HUGE at my school.
rage, tool, pumpkins, pearl jam, weezer, korn (shut up, their first album is a classic), life of agony were my go to’s. lots of others like hum, pantera, big wreck,white zombie, and NIN made their way into my detachable face sony.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Not a damn thing. That self-titled album is great workout music, too. You want to run into the Zumba class and punch every hot chick in the back of the head for the fuck of it.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
That covers album is without a doubt the worst album ever made and I own Cypress Hill’s “Los Grandos Existos en Espanol”
Are you thinking of The Replicants? Maynard’s cover album? I didn’t know APC did a covers album.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:19 AM
They might be the only band that could get me to venture out and see a show.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:19 AM
I don’t even remember correctly. Maynard only sang one song…

October 18th, 2012 at 11:20 AM
Marilyn Manson was huge where I went to junior high. I’m not sure a band from that era has aged worse than them. Seeing a Manson shirt now is like seeing a Poison or Warrant shirt.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:20 AM
Oh boy.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:20 AM
I actually found this the other day in a very little used CD case. I did not put it in the CD player but maybe I should.
I actually listened to “Amerika” yesterday.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Rammstein was on the Matrix CD, no?
October 18th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
No mention of The Offspring in any bad 90s rock lists?
October 18th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
*slowly raises hand*
Their self titled album and Evil Empire are great. After that, their shtick got old.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Mad Season.
holy shit, yes.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
DO NOT say this.
He and Rob Zombie are visiting Atlanta next Thursday and I’m going.
Manson rocks. I remember seventh grade when Manson was HUGE and so was hating him for killing puppies on stage, taking out his ribs to suck his own cock, and worshipping Satan. It’s amazing now that I’m grown up and realize how fucking stupid people are.
Manson is weird with all of those clothes and makeup and hair and shit, but he’s really fucking intelligent and makes a lot of sense.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
There is not a single thing bad about Smash. After that, however…
October 18th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
KC, if you look at that track listing you might think to yourself “man, this could be awesome.” You would be very, very, very, very, very wrong.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Haha, man the pre-internet 90s were friggin weird.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Homeboy, the Smash album was and remains full of badassery.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:24 AM
i also had master p (ghetto dope), ice cube (predator) and NWA on heavy rotation.
No mention of The Offspring in any bad 90s rock lists?
they were on no reservations on monday, which reminded me how much i hated them.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:24 AM
The only thing I respect Manson for is that he was diddling Evan Rachel Wood.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:24 AM
Anything Layne Staley is legend.
Lots of old memories getting dredged up here. All fantastic stuff there.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
I had to explain to my mom what the parental advisory sticker on Smash meant. She bought it for me at a music store in Elmira NY on a roadtrip from Charlotte. Needless to say I went through a lot of batteries on the discman on the way home. Best parent ever.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
He’s slayed a ton of hot gash.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
I won’t begrudge you NDUB for seeing that concert but I’d agree that a Maryln Manson or Limp Bizkit shirt is weak sauce. Go with a REO Speedwagon or Styx shirt if you repping lame.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
Did he really kill puppies on stage?
October 18th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
No mention Janet Jackson in the 90s, Rhythm Nation, come on now.
I saw JJ in concert in the 90s. Very good show.

There are some albums that just make awesome roadtrip music. Smash is one of them.

October 18th, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Offspring okay. They have put out a lot of good singles. They are an anomaly. For a band that no person would say is in their top 50-75 bands, they probably have more good songs than anybody else.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Sarcasm?
Because no. It was all stupid batshit crazy church groups and weird middle school kids making up shit to demonize the guy for being weird and having a strong message.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:28 AM
Smash is the best selling indy album of all time.

Don’t worry, guys. I won’t be wearing a Manson shirt.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Oscar winner.
At one point when I was in high school, Korn became popular and the emo kids were all wearing Korn t-shirts with their baggy black pants that had the long wallet chain on them.

October 18th, 2012 at 11:31 AM
Are you saying it wasn’t indie, but on Epitaph?
I need to update my Roladex.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:31 AM
Some others I’ll throw out there for fun: KMFDM, Faith No More, Dinosaur Jr
October 18th, 2012 at 11:31 AM
Smash is the best selling indy album of all time.
I dont doubt this at all. Good album. It also came out when everybody had just abandonded tape decks for CD players and before music piracy went online.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:32 AM
Huh? It was on Epitaph. Epitaph is an independent label.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:32 AM
Korn
they get shit now, and rightfully so, but that first album was one of 3-4 times ever that i remember where i was when i heard it because i was blown away.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:32 AM
Stupid moderation.
Dinosaur Jr’s video for “Feel the Pain” is always great
October 18th, 2012 at 11:34 AM
saw a cribs-type show with the frontman from offspring. he has a sweet home in some malibu type area. backyard is some tiki-bar/hut pool area. stays out back and smokes all day. model wife. hero.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:34 AM
Ah, I always thought indie meant no label. Goes to show what I know.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:35 AM
Allegedly hung like a horse, too.
Best Cribs episode ever was Redman, his shitty apartment in Brooklyn.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:35 AM
Want to revitalize the music industry? Make it legal to do heroin if you’re a member of a band.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:36 AM
Nah just means it’s not a label with corporate backing.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:37 AM
Cribs used to be my favorite show when I was in middle and high school. I was into material things then. Now I’m just a super-cool person who look down on anyone liking popular things. I read books, don’t own a tv, listen to NPR and berate people to get informed about the election.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:38 AM
Wasn’t here a Cribs episode with Beetlejuice? Not sure if it was Cribs, but I definitley saw the same type show with him showing off his home. It was funny as shit. He was in his underwear the entire time.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:39 AM
I saw the Offspring in Springfield, MO in 1998. thinking back on it now I can’t imagine how methy that concert was.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:39 AM
My favorite cribs episode was the one with Mariah Carey. She changed her outfit like 6 times while in the process of showing off her house.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:39 AM
Hey I own a TV.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:40 AM
Wasn’t there some insane bubble bath scene?
October 18th, 2012 at 11:41 AM
TV is okay. Not having cable – that’s where it’s at. Or cell phones.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
… I don’t have cable. Out of cheapness though.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
If I remember correctly she was wearing something teeny tiny and had some champagne in that scene.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Yes, at the end, she goes into the bathroom and they fire up a slow-mo camera to show her taking off her clothes behind a towel.
50 Cents had a swing in his basement for strippers. Russell Simmon’s house in NJ was awesome.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:44 AM
Unintentionally best Cribs moment: Jason Williams shooting skeet in the driveway of his NJ mansion.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:45 AM
Do they show pimp my ride? It was always hilarious listening to people awkwardly describe how they will now pull in mad pussy due to their tricked out Honda Civic.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:48 AM
The camera crew had to be nervous going into any rapper’s house. I can imagine some lilly white suburban guy nervously wondering why the posse keeps staring at him. Always keeping your head on a swivel for renegade pitbulls must have also drained their concentration.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:53 AM
I imagine the repomen that went into ninety percent of those houses felt safer.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:54 AM
I still remember the Punk’d when Justin Timberlake started crying ’cause they packed up all his shit.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Didn’t he immediately call his mom? Humanized.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:57 AM

October 18th, 2012 at 11:58 AM
Yes he did.
October 18th, 2012 at 11:59 AM
He actually did. Then they switched his guitar out and destroyed the fake one. He definitely had tears welling after that.
