Fun Stuff > BAND

Stupidest band ever

<< < (30/45) > >>

sp2:
You seem to have no problem insulting other bands, so when you start talking up really shitty bands, like The Used, My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, etc., we're going to call you on it.  Clear as fucking day.

"Shit" is not a valid musical taste.

Also, the problem with Hot Topic is not that it is expensive.  It is that it is shit.  It is crass commercialism of a set of subcultures who historically have raged against commercialism.  It is a perversion of goth, metal, rivet, punk, hardcore, indie, and so forth.  That is why it is bad, not because it is expensive.

It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
Brace yourself, my dear...

Oh cut it out already. They're not a bad band.

Agreed with SP2.  I have serious issues with the whole idea of popular metal. How can angst, anger, dispair, and rage go hand in hand with popularity, money, drugs and groupies?

You can argue back and forth about the artistic and musical merits of a band forever, but its hard to deny that slipknot are fakes, who put on a show to make money. That is why i hate them.

Although, if you're going to confine yourself to just nu-metal. Slipknot are way on the top of the heap, because:

a) They are actually arguably a metal band
b) None of their nine members is Fred Durst
c) That Jordison guy actually has some talent. He drummed live for Satyricon ffs!

So, yeah. Also, their first album was actually not that bad. Incredibly experimental compared to their later stuff. There was some sort of potential there if you examine the previous  The problem is they signed to Roadrunner. You sign to Roadrunner records mid nineties, and selling out is simply compulsory. They were made to take a musical route that left most of their members superfluous (not that the extra percussionists would ever have really worked anywhere except live in a small venue anyway). and then they got so big they didn't dare change, because people like money. Joey and Corey, the only members with any arguable talent, explored a variety of side projects, which is cool (tbh, I love the Murderdolls. Anyone who has an issue with this can go get a sense of humour).

As for the whole nine members crap, well, they're basically just a high-school band who had the mis/fortune to become incredibly huge. Are you gonna be a cunt and chuck your best friends from high-school out of your band just because they contribute nothing musically? Ah, come on. To complain about Slipknots number of members posits that they are a totally serious band. Which ain't the case, people.

Also, that Wait and Bleed song is kinda catchy.

Although, if we're dissing Slipknot, which I think we are, someone should send Corey Taylor a letter informing that Slipknot /= Stonesour, even if faux-emo is big bucks now days.

Oh man, no matter how much you diss the nu-metal and industrial schlock rock* of the late nineties, look what they replaced it with! FINCH! PEOPLE! NO!

(*oh fuck I love late nineties industrial schlock rock. And I want a Dragula)

Why would you do this?  Besides being a musical masochist, of course?
