ABBA ROCKS

[Brian37]

Many people give me shit about liking them. But, even before I rediscovered them, another fan obviously with money to pay royalties, started Waterloo Radio a Facebook Radio Station, before I even knew it existed.

Anywho, early last week I suggested they have a rock segment of originals by ABBA that were rock and heavy, and remakes from future artists. Little did I know how many people were influenced on the rock side of ABBA.

"Watch Out" is an original which could have been preformed by KISS and not ABBA.

But I have heard metal versions of "Knowing Me Knowing You" and just now a punk/AC DC mix version of "Super Trouper"

So screw all you guys that give ABBA lip. They have influenced all sorts of music lovers from country to bluegrass to dance to classical and METAL!

I AM ON AN ABBA JIHAD!

They do play this  version on Waterloo Radio. Like I said ABBA has influenced the world of music. This is more techno/rave. But Hillbilly can find links to ABBA being played on banjo. My point is they even influenced metal.

How many albums have you sold? And how many different artists have you influenced to have them go on to do remakes of your songs?

OUCH, so your Barny joke is a "meh, been there done that", like when theists threaten atheists with hell.

I guess it wouldn't do any good to clarify my stance that ABBA...you know...kinda sucks?  :-k

Good, ABBA fans don't want musical wimps in their audience who cant handle diversity in music.

Suck so bad that 40 years after the fact you still claim they suck.

I don't think ABBA "influenced" Nightcore, they just cover everything :P But yeah, they influenced a lot of people. Of course, older musicians in general influence new ones. But still, they did a pretty impressive number. Not really my thing, but definately a major band of recent history.

HOLLY FUCK, where did you find this. It is funny, I was joking that I would die a happy man if Metalica did a thrash version of "Knowing Me Knowing You". Little did I know others had already thought of it. Meaning taking an ABBA song and turning it thrash.

I hate to say this, but I love this version, but as heavy as "ABBA ROCKS" gets, I don't know if this version would make the cut, I would play it, but I don't own Waterloo Radio.

Ahead of it's time. And thanks for the link.

Since I was a teenager in the 1970's, and was witness to them in real time, I am wondering if Brian is just messing with us. :-k I kind of hope so, but a lot of the teenybopper, cheerleader types liked them. To each his own, I guess.
