Bands You Think Are Cool, But Actually Suck
Van Halen- Their first album with David Lee Roth was okay, and ever since then, they’ve been careening down Sucktitude Hill at break-neck speed. If you’re listening to them, it’s time to put down the blow, and trade in that ’86 IROC.
Red Hot Chili Peppers-We get it. You like to throw a little melody in between some shitty freestyle rap. Your best years were with Dave Navarro, and those are long gone.
Dave Matthews Band- What the hell is the hype? It has to be the tailgate parties. That’s probably it. The rich white kids probably feel safe, and the ‘Normals’ who listen to top 40 probably feel like they can hang with the rest of us because they listen to a ‘jam band’ and roll up in their BMWs with a brand new hemp necklace and fresh-off-the-shelf Hot Topic tie-dye.
Staind- Not only do they suck beyond belief, but they opened the door for other ‘feel sorry for myself’ bitchy whiney post-alternative crap like Evanescence, Chevelle, Seether, etc. What a bunch of soggy vaginas.
Nickelback-Lord, you’ve taken out many a musician in bus and plane crashes…why won’t you give us just one more? Make it fiery.
Velvet Revolver- It's like ice cream on your pizza. Not all super groups are super.
Led Zeppelin- I used to worship these guys in high school. Once I got into Blues, I realized just how bad they ripped other people off.
Feel free to add to the list... |
| I don't know a lot of the names of the bands that I think suck. I can tell when I hear them though. Oh, Pink Floyd. They're pretty bad. Why so melancholy guys? Radiohead too. They're pretty sour I think. If your gonna be a sad sourpuss and start a band, at least friggin' rock about why your upset. Like Rage Against the Machine. They never got all mopey about all the crappy things they thought. They punched the crappy things in the mouth. |
I dunno, I was kinda going for bands that everyone likes, but I couldn't figure out why.
RATM kinda blows dude. They get all mad over political shit, then break up over some petty bullshit. Super lame. Not that I don't still rock out to them, but there's always that thing in the back of my mind.
Also, I notice 104 is starting to lose awesomeness momentum. You can't play Tool, then Blues Traveler, it's no good. Plus Tool isn't alternative. |
Tool sucks too. Yeah, I've heard some pretty bad stuff on 104 lately. That song about Delilah is super crappy. There are a few other ones that just plain stunk like that too. |
|
That song is the worst. They played the Sex Pistols the other day, and I was actually happy. |
And I FUCKING HATE Linkin Park!!!
LOL! Dude, that was Friday...they played the Delilah song and right after it was Sex Pistols! That Staind song 'Mudshovel' isn't bad. Other than that, they're pretty bad. They're sad about stuff too. How come all these bands are so sad about stuff? Aren't they rock stars? Did they not wanna grow up to be rock stars? I think there are too many songs about relationships too. I don't wanna hear about your stupid ex-girlfriend! Maybe she left you because you kept writing terrible songs about her! Do us all a favor and write a song about some really good beer that I should try or maybe like a sweet car! Sweet car songs are almost always a huge hit. Songs about fire too! Goddam, if I hear another song about a girl, I'm gonna puke. Go tell it to a friggin' therapist or something. |
Bitchin' Camaro! God they just played Aaron Lewis and Fred Durst. "feelin' those lighters, y'all!"
BLAM!!! Holy shit someone shot Fred Durst!!! :::collective sigh of relief::: |
What am I listening to right now? It's really bad too. Who thinks of this crap? I don't mind if you don't mind if I mind if you mind would you remind my mind to please be kind and always rewind... 104 is jumping the shark after only like 4 days. Super. |
| Someone should write a song called 'Hey There Blogslut' and make it about embarassing at-work erections. |
|
I still love DMB (you gotta see 'em at the Columbia Gorge, yo) but yeah I agree about the others. Pink Floyd I can take in small doses, but where's the life in it. I cannot stand that damn Delilah song that is on every time I turn on the radio. And Velvet Revolver...I went to a couple years ago w/my roommate at the time who did set design for one of their videos. The band got him free tickets, and after the show he was like "I'm embarrassed to be seen here." They were horrible. A lot of these bands have potential at the beginning, but fail to change it up At All later. Like Evanescence, everything they do sounds the same to me. |
| What is your problem Joe? You get sand in your unmentionables? I had a nice little RATM kick not too long ago. They're all good to go. I more or less agree with the rest. I remember hating Led Zeppelin, then liking them, then getting bored of them, then basically hating them again. I made a serious effort to get into DMB, but my brain just wouldn't let me. Dave Matthews and Friends is OK. He also covered a few good songs. Best band of all time though, the Dead. Man, I used to HATE them for no musical reason whatsoever. Then I went to college. My roommate (for 4 consecutive years) was a die hard fan... almost freakishly so. http://www.dead.net/features/tapers-section You can download just about any song from here... just avoid the late 80s-90s stuff. Blech. |
| Ya know, my roommate was too into Phish. I got into them for a little while, but I only walked away liking a handful of songs, if that. Phish is too "ibity-bibity". Trey Anastasio is a good musician when he wants to be. I still stand by my word, DMB is kaka. |
I stopped enjoying 90% of my music collection after I quit smoking the cheebs.
One more: Nine Inch Nails sucks too. It's pretty bad when a 70-something year old artist recovering from a stroke covers your song, and it's way more kick-ass than the original. Fuck you trent, you drunk little runt. Go back to being a horse jockey. |
| Hey, I listen to a lot of big band at home. There's a channel for it on my TV. It's good some of the time...other times, not so much. Love Tommy Dorsey the best. Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman were really good too. |
