Title: Stupidest band ever
Post by: Malphas on 25 Dec 2004, 15:57
I have found quite possibly the STUPIDEST band ever.  The name of the band is Anti-Ben, and they seem to have a problem with people named Ben.  I laughed my ass off when I listened to their cd named "Bloodthirsty Benslayers" which happens to have around 30 songs on it.  Anyone else have any other really stupid bands they know of?

And "Yay! we're going to Ibiza!"

The Spice Girls were kinda good in a naff way - and when one was younger one did fancy Posh Spice.

Nah, I've heard of Anal Cunt, and they're funny as well, but not in the same way.  Anal Cunt is more of a "OMG, THAT IS SO TERRIBLE, LOL" funny whereas Anti-Ben is more of a "OMG, THIS IS FUCKING STUPID, LOL" funny.  Anti-Ben mixes up their style a lot more than Anal Cunt too, ranging from grindcore to elevator music.

Yes they are, I'm glad to hear that one of their members is out of a coma.  I think it's awesome how the last song on "Picnic of Love" is titled "In My Heart There's A Star Named After You" and the first song on the next album is called "I Became A Counselor So I Could Tell Rape Victims They Asked For It".

Well yeah, the point is to be horrible, but they don't even succeed from an ironic standpoint. They try to be super nasty and offensive but they come off as GG Allin lyrics set to some horrible mashup of The Prodigy and Rage Against the Machine.

And I submit that GG Allin was way, way stupider than The Ramones. And he was bad to boot! How can he lose?

Post by: Phrozen on 02 Jan 2005, 22:47
Oooo, I just saw the crappiest band ever last night. Texas Terri Bomb. they were so incredibly pathetic.
1, their bassist didn't know his guitar had more than 2 strings.
2, their bassist spit water on the crowd (yay! I want your v.d.!)
3, their lead singer was so manish it took me a bit to realize she was a she. Normally I don't take offense to ugly people, but when ugly people think they are the sexiest things on earth I do.
4, They sucked, but they think they rock. The singer actuaally had the nerve to try and make people jump up and down... not just tell people to jump but she actually got off stage and went into the crowd, nobody jumped still... except for the ones that did it to make her go away.
5, their bassist didn't wear a shirt and he gyrated his hips in a most obscene way.
6, when they weren't playing really crappy music they were dry humping on stage.
7, all their songs used 3 chord progressions
8, the singer didn't know how to do anything except scream
9, oh man, I'm gonna stop now... look, do me a favor. if you ever meet any of the people from this band just give the finger or a fist full of fingers. Well, except the guitar play, he was actually pretty good.

Mayhem were pretty stupid when they started off in '86.  Pure Fucking Armageddon takes the biscuit and runs away with it.

Grindcore made after it was original is just stupid in general.  I mean, I dig some early Carcass and Napalm Death and assuming that Repulsion's album is equally worthy it'd be very high on my wishlist.  But not the copycats: http://www.mp3search.ru/album.html?id=10880

Though the vengaboys do deserve to die for the lyric 'WE're going to Ibiza, something something pizza.' It was so wrong. So very, very wrong. Worse than Black Lace and the song agadoo because they had the gall to release more 1 song. Sick, evil, fuckers.

Mindless Self Indulgence?   I LIKE them....   I actually find the music relaxing.  then again, I don't take it seriously, and I don't pay attention to the lyrics (seriously, the lyrics are nonsence on most of their songs)

I chalk it up to my addiction with video games and the music from old 8-bit systems...


as for plain ass stupid bands. the worst I ever heard was a couple guys from my high school, Mad Dog Monte and Juice.  I will not comment further, other than to say the nicknames were about as creative as they got.


for commercial bands? I have to say Metallica has really been pretty bad lately. ever since Master of Puppets they've just been going downhill. (I know, someone's going to have my head for that comment)

Post by: KharBevNor on 11 Jan 2005, 11:09
Hmmm.

Anal Cunt have already been mentioned. For real entertainment from them, check out their cover of 'Staying Alive', pure genius.

There's Crotchduster, an avant-garde band who mix all forms of metal with rap, rock, Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, techno, classical, ballads, pop, country, etc, normally singing about either random insanity, perverted sex acts or the mysterious and much prized 'mammal sauce'. They're wonderful for freaking the crap out of people with, as they can go from rap to hyper-speed deathgrind in the space of a beat.

Then of course, there's Zombina and the Skeletones, who combine Death Rock, Jack off Jill-style fake child vocals and cheesy synth-pop. With choruses like "Nobody likes you when you're dead, it just ain't right, just 'cos I'm biting on your head,  there's no need to be impolite, and if I still had eyes, well I would surely cry, nobody likes you when you're dead and that's the story of my life!"

Then there's the honourable mentions for parody bands, my current favourite one being the black metal parody 'Blackthrone', with songs like 'I Become a Werewolf Always' and 'Goatfog'.

Was this thread started about stupid bands that are actally good but funny... or bands that are just stupid because they suck??

I actually think bands like Lawnmower Deth, Macabre, Anti-Ben (I know a few of the guys in the band, they actually do hate Bens and are fucking hilariously insane), Blackseed Boys, etc. etc. are great bands and the comical/stupidity elements within their music make them that way.
Title: Stupidest band ever

How about Impaled Nazarene? Their newest albums don't suck, but their early creations of musical satan worshipping, angel rectum tearing and pure hardcore is pretty much sensless even to try to listen.

Few examples of their creations:
Steelvagina from album Suomi Finland Perkele
Motorpenis from album Motorpenis
Goatvomit And Gasmasks from album Rapture

And one must not forget the angel rectum songs:
Angel Rectums do bleed, Angel rectums Still Bleed - the sequel and Prequel To Bleeding (Angels III)

www.impnaz.com
Title: Stupidest band ever
Post by: KharBevNor on 02 Jul 2005, 04:19
But, that's all symptomatic of Impaled Nazarenes extreme, Christ-violating audial terrorism!

I mean, how can you not love the band that did 'Total War/Winter War' and made the video to 'Armageddon Death Squad'?

Lawnmower Deth are pretty funny, but they needed more real songs to flesh out the ten second joke tracks. Admittedly, I only have 'Ooh Crikey it's Lawnmower Deth!' and the split with Metal Duck, but still.

Blackthrone fucking rock.

Panzerfaust Division Blackthrone

The world is becoming a very black
Prepare for our next attack
When you come with your panzers
We rise and shoot with panzerfausts
Then you die!

Black forces of evil!
Panzerfaust Division Blackthrone
Infernal hordes of Satan!
Panzerfaust Division Blackthrone

You can't live after we have killed you
Because you are then very necro and dead
Your panzer is to be broken after we've
risen with our panzerfausts

Dark evil Inferno men!
Panzerfaust Division Blackthrone

Our defence-line is so thick
With the power of evil we attack and kill
You cannot do anything because we always have
our panzerfaust division Blackthrone ready

Dark evil Inferno men!
Panzerfaust Division Blackthrone
Hellish outlaws from Satan's side
Panzerfaust Division Blackthrone

Panzerfaust Division Blackthrone
Fistfucking the face of you
666 times in a day

Today my roommate downloaded a Dream Theater album just because he had this urge to listen to someothing he knew he would hate. It was their most recent album, and it was pretty awful. A few parts approached decent rockin' out, but the vocals were just so amazingly bland, yet over the top at the same time, and the music generally went no where.

I used to love the record they put out around 1999...the one that had the song "Bitches" featuring ODB.  I don't have it anymore...but every once in a while I want to hear a song from it for nostalgia's sake.  I think it was called "The Amazing Jeckyl Brothers."  

That said, ICP is entertaining in its goofiness and the shock value of its misogyny.  And they were more than marginally talented, though they didn't do much with the talent (see: the Bloodhound Gang).

EDIT:  And how could I forget Macabre.  Excellent band.  Dahmer is a masterpiece as is Sinister Slaughter!


They have about 3 or 4 CD-R albums released on DFP. They also did a 4-way split with 50 Ways To Die (another very obscure/goofy band) and a few others on Fecal Matter Discorporated. All I know is The Anti-Ben and The Rusty Trombone have told me that they are recording the new album "An Orgy Of Celestial Sounds" right now, the DVD is being recorded (some of the most weird shit I've ever witnessed), and shirts.

All macabre is excellent.. The Dahmer album cracks me up. haha. You should really check out Blackseed Boys. Metal versions of old NES songs and pop covers. Hilarious shit!

Um...I like ICP because they're funny. They actually take themselves seriously. I like that.

I like Deathcab for Cutie, cos I think somebody was making fun of them.

The Ramones weren't stupid, they were great.

So is Group X.

Now then...

-Dashboard Confessional makes me giggle and go, "Oh my god, that is so stupid." My favorite response to ANY Emo song is, "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CRYING!? YOU ARE FAMOUS!!"

-Simple Plan. So...very...very stupid...*shudders*

-Cannibal Corpse. Enough said on that matter...

-GWAR. So dumb, it's funny. Which makes me giggle.

-Deicide. Every single song is the exact same. "GRABBLESHLERPHMRRRGH GOD SUCKS DIE JESUS GRRRRABANURRRGH!!" Which is basically every single metal song out there now.

-Blaze, Twizdid and all those other stupid Psychopathic Records guys. ICP is the only "haha, they think they're people, that is so cute" ones. All the other ones are, "Why are you copying them?"

-CKY. Any band that my skater friends like that much has got to be dumb.

-Evanescense. She has a nice voice, but come on. Lemonescense...emotional cleaning detergent.

I will think of more.

I was looking through my friend's soulseek files and found a band called "I Hate You When You're Pregnant".

He had four of their demos, and told me a few tracks to download off of the third one- such classic tunes as "Levitra Versus Viagra", "Hey, Hot Bitches!" and "The Most Popular Guy".

Musically, it's like really dumb-sounding synth. I don't mean that as an insult- I mean it as in it actually sounds retarded. The vocals are kinda either yelled or in mock falsetto, and you can probably guess the lyrics after seeing their name.

"Hey, Hot Bitches!" is such a stupidly hilarious song that I can't stop laughing everytime I hear it. Check soulseek for 'em.

Thank you for the personal attack. I really fucking appreciate having my stance on music likened to just a weak attempt to rebel. Yay.

Look, I have been in Hot Topic TWICE over a 3 year period. Hot Topic blows. Their stuff is way overpriced. I prefer to buy my stuff at the thrift store because it's cheap and you find really cool stuff there.

I DON'T try to rebel. I don't really try to do anything. I just be myself! Sooner or later you're going to realise that just because I like a certain kind of music doesn't make me any less credible as a person.

The world is going to have different kinds of music. People will like said kinds of music. You, however, seem to fail to realise this. You don't have to be a complete closed-minded asshole all the time.

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.

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.

Post by: KharBevNor on 08 Aug 2005, 15:20
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)

Heh, yeah. Fred Durst blows.

I was a little disappointed with the new album...Sone Sour pretty much sucked.

And I like what I like. I don't make personal attacks on you because of what you like and dislike.

Also, I never really could stand metal. Slayer, CoF and SKT from that genre only, please...

You like the music you claim because it's what you've heard.  There are plenty of awesome metal bands out there.  Plenty of awesome punk bands.  Plenty of awesome...well, you get the picture.  Basically, it's like this: why would you eat Hershey's when there's Godiva chocolate out there for less?  Most of the really good bands out there put out cheaper CDs than the major label MTV-featured artists, and their concerts are significantly cheaper.  Plus, they're just simply better musically.  There is no reason to listen to Green Day when there's Jawbreaker out there.  No reason to listen to Nine Inch Nails when there's Skinny Puppy.  No reason to listen to Slipknot when there's actually decent metal out there.  No reason to listen to ICP when razor blades cost only $1.99 at your local convenience store.

Most bands on MTV are watered down and accessible, but not particularly good.  That's not to say all bands that get national recognition or are on major labels are filth.  But most bands that get such widespread press are generally the equivalent to drinking Budweiser and calling yourself a beer connisseur.

We're simply saying that there's better shit out there.  MUCH better shit out there.  You're acting like a music snob, but the bands you like are the kind of music that people generally listen to when they don't have the interest to actually invest their time into finding something that's actually GOOD.  Being proud of liking the shit you're fed on ClearChannel either signifies that you have a very immature musical taste due to very little exposure to anything that's not on the radio, or it means you're a Hot Topic trendwhore.  I should have probably assumed the first and given you the benefit of the doubt, but I can't pass up the opportunity to diss on Hot Topic.

sp2, you don't get it, do you? I listen to the music I like because it makes me happy. There's plenty reason to listen to it, because it brings me joy. It makes me feel like I'm not just a stupid bitch out to hurt everyone and everything I can lay my hands on (even though that is true).

Bands like My Chemical Romance and the Used make me feel like I'm not in this all alone.

Bands like Green Day and SlipKnot make me want to "run around giggling and high fiving everything".

Bands like...erm, well you get the gist of it.

I invest my time in looking for bands that MTV hasn't/hadn't gotten their grimy claws on. Dope Stars Inc., tFDQFP13, Skinny Puppy, !!!, West Indie Girl...the list goes on and on.

So screw you man, and stop being a dick about what kind of music I like.

Illnath - Cast Into Fields of Evil Pleasure
Sabbat - History of a Time to Come
In Flames - Clayman
Ministry - Houses of the Molé
Stormtroopers of Death - Speak English or Die
Amon Amarth - Versus The World
Strapping Young Lad - City
Nightwish - Oceanborn
Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos
Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses
SikTh - The Trees are Dead and Dried Out, Wait For Something Wild
Samael - Reign of Light
Dark Tranquillity - Damage Done

Just a few suggestions based on the bands you like. I gaurantee that you will like at least half the albums on this list.

Also, everyone should dig Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Motörhead. Those aren't even optional.

They're melodic death metal. Which is really just classic heavy metal with more growl and woe.

Blood Brothers - Burn, Piano Island, Burn!
Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
Lacuna Coil - Comalies
Mr. Bungle - California
Praxis - Metatron
Primus - Pork Soda
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Juju

and although they're nothing like the bands you listen to, I strongly encourage that you check out The Residents. They're possibly the strangest concept rock band ever.  Check out Animal Lover, their latest album, since it's a good place to start out. If you don't even like it, your musical belt buckle has increased that much, and other kinds of music will be waay more accessible.

I don't think either, and won't say either. But I will say that you must be fairly new to music, and really it's probably not fair to say other bands suck, because how much are you acquainted with them? Can you really say Slipknot is the best metal ever? How many metal bands do you know? How long have you been into metal?

I'm not ragging on you, when I was just getting into music, I claimed a lot of things were the best evar, and now I look back on that and think, "What a goon." So maybe you should give some more time, or maybe be less vehement in your stance of things.

I'd recommend SikTh to a Blood Brothers fan. SikTh aren't really metal, but utterly bizarre experimental post-hardcore with goth rock and heavy metal influences. When I say utterly bizarre, by the way, I mean utterly bizarre. Whilst the Blood Brothers two vocalists normally sing or screech in various harmonised falsettos, SikTh's vocalists sing, bark, growl, chant and sometimes even rap at every pitch imaginable, often using accents or silly voices. Not to mention that they covered Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, have spoken word tracks and use a mobile phone as an instrument at one point.

Type O Negative may also be appreciated. It's like funky goth rock with an edge of heavy metal and a huge dose of withering sarcasm and dark humour. At a lot of points a self-parody of both itself and the entire goth scene, but always good stuff. If I was to recommend any songs to try and get into, it would be the incomparable 'revenge on an ex' song 'Black #1' (Loving you was like loving the dead!) and, of course, 'My Girlfriend's Girlfriend', which contains what is almost certainly the most awesome keyboard line ever.

It's like, I listen to Sunny Day Real-Estate and go, "Well this is one of the most popular emo bands today, and it sucks..." I realise this is not a good way to go about things but I have about 50 subfolders in my music folder right now...I'm pretty much content to do that.

And yeah, I am quick to jump the gun a lot of times but I have to put up with assholes all the time because everyone hates me (not exaggerating, everyone at my school glares at me when I walk by except my 3 friends). I got used to insulting people because they're mean and I guess I forgot you were new people for a little while... Sorry kids.

Much to my everlasting shame, i listened to slipknot when i was 13 years old.

I am no longer a child, i'm 20 years old, and living in a considerably more sophisticated world, where listening to commercial bands ISNT rebelling against society, and being different isnt an end in itself.

This is the way. As you become an adult, you see more subtle naunces in things, and stop taking everything at face value.

Thank you, that made me laugh out loud.

Also, to get back on topic (sort of): Cut her some slack. For two reasons: First of all, I bet your musicial taste was amusing to 20 year olds back when your were 14 as well, right? That didn't make it any less important for you though. Whatever I listened to, it meant something to me. If it does, screw whatever everyone else says.

That said, I think Nightwish is stupid and very annoying (and yes, I have listened to their earlier albums). I just don't like the voice and I don't like melodic metal (or whatever the hell it's called) and I also don't like lots of pathos. A combination of all three gives me diarrhea.
Now flame me for that.

Edit: Having seen a post in another thread, I have to add: Of course, there are tons of bands more annoying than Nightwish. For example HIM. But my point remains.

Edit Nr. 2: "For two reasons"? Where's my second reason? It sort of got lost, I guess. Anyway, I'm old, please bear with me.

slipknot can die in a plane crash for all i care. there is no excuse for their new album especially. the first album is decent. the whole getup and stage antics are what i find retarded. they need to die. twice.


YOU can die in a plane crash. YOU need to die twice. I love SlipKnot. With all my heart. And the one I have in a jar. As far as I am concerned they are the greatest thing to happen to metal of any kind. They have a distinctive sound, and for that I love them. They actually have original ideas, unlike the repetitive crap the media mass-produces now.
your entire statement is a contradiction. "the one i have in a jar" what? that actually took me a minute to understand, and when i finally got it, i realized why it took me so long, and it's because i don't normally comprehend retardation. slipknot are a complete joke and an abomination to all of metal. they are scum and decietful fucks and their fans are idiots. you are no exception to this rule. get outta here, "maggot". their sound is distinctively terrible, the only thing decent about them is the fact that they have a good drummer (who used to be in a grindcore band, so they got extremely lucky there). the greatest thing to ever happen to metal was iron maiden. they do not have original ideas in the least, and they ARE the media mass-produced shit you claim to hate. they are even mtv accessible right now. go suck on your binky, you crybaby.

I DON'T try to rebel. I don't really try to do anything. I just be myself! Sooner or later you're going to realise that just because I like a certain kind of music doesn't make me any less credible as a person.

The world is going to have different kinds of music. People will like said kinds of music. You, however, seem to fail to realise this. You don't have to be a complete closed-minded asshole all the time.

And yestreday I was just a little...hyped up, I guess. I'm sorry for yelling at various people and just generally being a dick.
shopping at thrift stores IS a rebellion, YOU FUCKING DOLT. that's about the only "rebellious" thing you do, and it's because it's the cool thing to claim. you are a goddamn joke.

There you have it.  Slipknot aren't nu-metal.  They're Tardcore.

Or is Tardcore "Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld"?

"Look mum, I'm arguing on the internet!"
"I'm so proud of you, son! If only your grand parents were still alive to see this!"

Actually, couldn't we just delete the whole part where the thread got ugly and leave it open for rants about bands that annoy us? (Rants preferrably delivered in an entertaining manner)

Also, in a desperate attempt to get on-topic again: 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.

Spiff: Apology accepted. Now just apologize for post-Cold War Eastern German art and we'll all be square.

I think musical apologies need a topic of their own.

Urgh. Leipziger Schule ... I hate those guys. Yes, I also apologize for them and hope they get high on paint thinners and, thinking they can fly, jump out of a window.

No, no, Rammstein justifies their existence with their insane live show, and lots of fun industrial rock tunes. They're one of the few bands I have consistantly enjoyed since getting in to music, and I won't have you bash 'em, ya hear?

I mean, come on, listen to 'Adios' and tell me they're a bad band. That solo is pure class.

And he straps flamethrowers to his arms and sets fire to other members of his band.

Such activities are only to be applauded.

Back to the main purpose of this thread:

There's a white climber rapper who goes by the moniker "O-Dub" (which is slang, I guess of O/W or "off-width" which is a climber term for large-crack you can't handjam in).  He mainly climber-izes top-40 rap songs, such as "I've got 99 problems (But this pitch ain't one)."  He is a dedicated traddie and most of original lyrics are pathetic attacks on sport climbing and bouldering.

I know there are some climbers here, so I figured some of you might appreciate.
