Title: Apologize for your country
Post by: Johnny C on 10 Aug 2005, 15:04

I think "The Apologists" would be a good band name. But anyway:

Use this thread to apologize for any band or artist who brings you national shame.

I would like to apologize for Celine Dion and the rock'n'roll black hole that is Bryan Adams.

"Apologize for your Country" would make a good band name, too.  Better than The Apologists, even.

Depends on genre, of course.  The Apologists sound punk.  Apologize for your Country sounds post-rock.

Anyways, I'm sorry for all the shit that comes out of the US.  There's a lot of it.  A LOT.

Well, we've exported quite a lot of shit too. I just went with the worst offenders I could think of, and that represent Canada the most.

Quoting myself here...

Quote from: SpacemanSpiff

On behalf of all Germany, I would like to apologize for Scooter and Rammstein. We are sorry, this won't happen again. We are looking into ways to make them shut up, but it ain't easy.
Seriously, both of these bands are stupid, and even worse is that they apparently represent German music on an international level. You know, we also have good bands without retarded lyrics.

And let me add:
Yes, we do actually have good bands! Like .. um ... uh. Blind Guardian? Kreator? Scorpions? Die Ärzte? Die Toten Hosen? Every single DJ involved in the Loveparade? Nena?
What the fuck is wrong with this country?! I'm getting the fuck out of here, this is just beyond embarrassing.

Kraftwerk is good, i like kraftwerk. I also like rammstein :p I'm sorry, i just do.

Dosn't Die Toten Hosen translate litteraly as dead trousers, which i would guess, essentially means, impotent? Good name for a band huh?

I apologise for.. The spice girls (who are planning a come back according to rumours :O !!! :( )
I apologise for uhrrm... well you know what, i can't remember many bad brit artists. Not because there arn't hundreds of them, which there are, but just because i shut them all out. LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOOOUUU!!

But seriously, I can pin a LITTLE blame for that... and other things (Dei Hamo, Savage).. from the influence that American rap has here... It's like all these terrible rip-offs turn up EVERYWHERE...

And OH GOD I AM SORRY FOR COUNTRY!

I also apologise for Nickleback. Every single person should apologise for them.

MCR needs no apologising for, because they're actually quite good for a Jersey band.

I'm surprised no-one has thought to apologise for Good Charlotte...I was expecting it, but no. Weird. I'm not gonna, cos I think they're okay (they make me giggle).

Oh man, where to start for the UK. Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, and pretty much every other apocalyptically boring 'rock' band of the nineties, not to mention pretty much all this countries pop music since Culture Club split up. That would be a good place.

For Belgium, I'd like to apologize for a prick called D-Me. Yeah that is what he calls himself. He does commercialized dance-ified covers of popular rock songs. He scored a hit by raping White Stripes' Seven Nation Army, a song he renamed "Ooh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ooh" (actual song title!!!). A little later, he did the rape routine again with Pennywise's Bro Hymn... I hope none of you have heard this, so I'll just apologize for the mental picture I just gave you. It's... Saddening. So much for the music...

I don't think the frog is actually from britain origionally, (is Axel a british name?) But it was the retarded majority of the british population that made it number 1???!!!!?!?! So i am sooo soo sorry. My neighbours play that at partys.. at like 1 in the morning. The kid sings carry okey (yea i can't spell that, because i hate it so much) to the crazy frog. They take it out in the car with them.. what the fuck...

Isn't it Sweden who should apologise for the frog? As far as I can tell, the voice came from some Swedish bloke.

Title: Apologize for your country
Post by: KharBevNor on 11 Aug 2005, 03:55

Axel is German, and the guy who made the original frog noise is Swedish I think.

So, we really have nothing to apologise for as a nation about the frog, except for being a slavering, drooling island of cousin marrying retards for buying the thrice-damned shite as it is rammed into our ugly, blotchy faces.

And when I say, 'we', I mean chavs.

Title: Apologize for your country
Post by: Sydney on 11 Aug 2005, 04:02

Everyone hates chavs*. It unites our nation. One day, I think we're all going to rise up and just drive them into the sea. Then we shall never speak of them again.

*except pretentious middle ages liberals who've got it into their heads that a helathy loathing of chavs is 'class snobbery'. As one of those fine fellows at chavscum said: 'calling chavs working class is an insult to people who work'.

I want to apologise TO gordon Lightfoot, for having someone make a shitty-ass dance remix of 'if you could read my mind.' I don't know if they were Canadian, but...come ON.

I didn't think commercial German rap gets exported so I figured I wouldn't have to apologize for that as wel. But apparently it does. I'm sorry.

Also, yeah, thanks for naming those bands. Especially E Nomine and Subway to Sally (along with Schandmaul and In Extremo) will be added to my list. I'm sorry for those bands.

And, I hate to tell you this, but the Crazy Frog is actually of German origin, as Jamster is just a spin-off of a German company called Jamba. I would like to apologize for them but my English fails me there.

@SpacemanSpiff: Do you just hate music or something?

Given what I listen to, the answer might very well be "yes". But seriously, I just don't like most metal / goth stuff. Could be connected to the fact that most people I know who are into that music are total idiots who take themselves way too seriously while actually having no idea about this music at all (If you ask me, if you say you're into black and death metal and you've never heard of Burzum or Emperor, there is something wrong with you). Sort of the opposite of you, I guess.

But Germany has produced quite a few good bands. AcMe, Systral, Mörser, Japanische Kampfhörspiele, Angstzustand, Turbostaat, Oma Hans, One Man And His Droid, A Case Of Grenada, Kurt, Tomte and several good hip hop acts as well. It's just that they're not very famous. In Germany or anywhere else.

Listen to Country and some Hip-Hop and maybe one day you'll be an interesting person. Get a Lefty Frizzell album and Enter the 36 Chambers.

Actually, you should be apoligising for him doing it when he did. If he'd waited for, say, six years, Nirvana would be mainly forgotten and his suicide would have been as much remarked as Layne Staley's. Instead, deification of a man who hated being famous. You stupid little gits.

Isn't it Sweden who should apologise for the frog? As far as I can tell, the voice came from some Swedish bloke.

Indeed, as someone from Sweden, I apologize for whatever part of the frog we are responsible for.

I also apologize for Max Martin, who has probably written and produced every pop song you've been annoyed at, ever.

Also: I, as a former resident of Colorado, apologize for our state releasing this: ( www.purevolume.com/Texasisonfire ). Seriously, I know those kids, and they need to STOP.


As a now resident of Kansas, I would like to apologize for the Get-Up Kids.

At least we still have Springsteen and... fuck, we don't have anyone else that's good, I say. Then I go to a diner and drown my sorrows in a grilled cheese sandwich.

But...but...Ted Leo is from New Jersey! You're not about to apologize for Ted Leo, are you? Ted Leo rocks my face!


I hate to claim any sort of affiliation with Simple Plan, but I apologize for them. I am so so sorry. I'm sorry I ever learned of their existence. It happened less than two years ago, and it was entirely as a result of my own curiosity. And I am sorry.

When he says 'killing punk' I think he's more thinking of GOOD CHARLOTTE MORE LIEK BAD CHARLOTTE AMIRITE!?

Also, lets be honest here. The Dead Kennedies were good, but seriously. Anti-Nowhere League, Cock Sparrer, UK Subs, The Damned, X-Ray Spex...the incandescent punk torch we gave you guys was pretty much returned sodden, blackened and smelling of teenaged piss. Not even The Dead Kennedies and Black Flag could do anything about it.

Oh, and Straight-Edge? WHAT THE HELL? Yeah, great idea America "Hmmm...punk...that's a bit subversive...sex and drugs and rock and roll...I KNOW! Let's remove the sex and drugs, but what to replace them with...Ah, of course, mindless violence!".

Yeah, great going.

That's what I mean. The list of decent American bands that I'd count as actually punk can be enumerated on two hands maximum. We basically got bored of punk by about '81. Pretty much all our punks either got arrested for football hooliganism, overdosed, formed goth rock bands or just got lost on the way to the bathroom, which left you guys with pretty much free reign to RAPE the genre, first by inventing straight-edge and all that associated crappy hardcore, then finishing it off with the double-whammy of pop punk.

I apologise for the spice girls. I mean im REALLY sorry.

don't apologise for alanis morisette. She's one of the only female singer-songwriters out there who has any credibility lately...in the mainstream, that is.

Also: don't apologise for the spice girls. There's nothing wrong with hot british chicks singing songs aimed at 12 year old girls. If you must apologise, apologise for the fact that anyone older than 12 years old liked them enough for them to be played on the radio all the time.

Sorry.

Did you just call the spice girls 'hot'?

In the name of Montreal City we do not apologise for releasing the horror of Céline Dion and A Simple Plan onto the world, may they get too attached to you land to just stay there and never produce any song ever again. We do however apologise for letting The Dears, The Stills, The Arcade Fire and Stars wander on your side of the border, we will take them back and force them to make thousands of great songs while kept in captivity and fed with drug-induced bread and water.

You can take and keep The Woolf Parade though, everyone loves them but they suck.

p.s. Please ship us the Metric signer back.

well, i apologise for celine dion, of course.  given that she ruined 1997 in party with some damn movie about a boat.  and for her weird camel laden weddings.

and for alanis, who, except for allowing us to hear one of wesley willis' more brilliant songs(second only to 'i whooped batman's ass), has made it impossible to know what irony is anymore.

and for simple plan.  no explanation necessary.

and for continuing to ignore the significance the continuing career and influence of skinny puppy has had on music.

Actually, I did. I was being sarcastic when I listed them as "good", along with the rest of the bands and artists mentioned there. My list of bands from Germany that are actually good looks like this (quoting myself):

Quote from: I - in an earlier post though -

But Germany has produced quite a few good bands. AcMe, Systral, Mörser, Japanische Kampfhörspiele, Angstzustand, Turbostaat, Oma Hans, One Man And His Droid, A Case Of Grenada, Kurt, Tomte and several good hip hop acts as well. It's just that they're not very famous. In Germany or anywhere else.

I apologize for the Pettit Project, for being pure, SHAMELESS GEEK-ROCK.


There, I said it. Oh, and for burrowing their ways into your mind to the point where you've got at least one song by them hidden with extreme guilt on your computer.

Or I do, anyway.

Sweden is 449,964 square kilometres of RAWK.

And Abba were cool! The Cardigans too. You can even make nice pop music. What is up with you crazy scandinavian bastards?

You need to slap yourself about a bit for the A*Teens though.

Also, can I have Blind Guardian if you don't want them? I'll take good care of them!
