No member of Blink 182 is any good.

If you add 'fact' in capital letters to your post, you can make everything in it seem like truth.

Worryingly enough, that's not so far from the truth.

the DK's bassist isn't bad either. Actually, in terms of punk, the Dead Kennedys were actually pretty good with their instruments.

Technically, since everybody just ignores the post Martin Walkyier Skyclad, you could make an argument that he was that band.

Houdinimachine · « **Reply #10 on:** 28 May 2006, 20:27 »

While not a fan of Blink 182's earlier stuff, I really enjoyed their self titled album especially the Robert Smith lead vocals songs.

FACT...

Shit.

Really? I thought A Semblance of Normality was a great album, the band smokes.

What do you get when you remove any chance of variation from a factor?

I didn't like it very much, myself.

Uh... Doug Yule?

Dave Mustaine - Megadeth
Guitar Dude who also makes the "whoa-whoa" sounds on Living On a Prayer - Bon Jovi

Storm Rider · « **Reply #16 on:** 28 May 2006, 23:00 »

Except that Megadeth also had/has Marty Friedman and Glenn Drover.

I suppose if you mean in the sense that he more or less IS the band, then that would make sense.

Misfits-Danzig
Amen-Casey Chaos(Arguably though he IS Amen).

Megadeth is a shitty band and Dave Mustaine must be shot

Kai · « **Reply #19 on:** 29 May 2006, 05:52 »

Oh, the Misfits-Danzig one is a good one, although I actually have sort of warmed up a bit to the Jerry Only stuff. It's not great, but it's listenable.

Eddie V.H.--Van Halen

Heard it said, don't necessarily believe it because I really like David Lee Roth's voice.

Question: Did Eddie Van Halen play the keyboard on Jump?

I'm sorry, but I've allways seen him as a pretentious jerk. No wonder Metallica kicked him out.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #26 on:** 29 May 2006, 13:12 »

I've heard that to, probably true, but at least Megadeth can't further embarass themselves.

The drummer from avenged sevenfold fits this perfectly.

Dan Swano - Every band he has ever been a member of.

Well, at least in his own eyes...

I love Swano, but his ego is a pain in the arse. I mean, lets face it, we're never going to see an Edge of Sanity reunion, because if you put him and Dread Axellson in a room together they'd just start clawing each others eyes out and screeching at each other.

James Hetfield - Metallica. Well Rob Trujillo might be good, I shall wait until the new album before passing judgements on him

Chad Stokes of Dispatch
Kurt Cobain
crap...the dude from Foo Fighters, people say his drumming was the good part of nirvana, really

what I find annoying is when people pay ALL of their attention on one member of the band. See ISound.com for examples(OMG SO AND SO FRONTMAN IS SO HAWT!)

Kai · « **Reply #33 on:** 30 May 2006, 18:40 »

Wait. How can both Kurt Kobain and Dave Grohl be the only good members in Nirvana? What the fuck?

Hat · « **Reply #34 on:** 30 May 2006, 23:28 »

I know a guy who claims that Steve Harris is the only really worthwhile member of Iron Maiden.

The best part is, in order to really back up this claim, he has to vehemently defend the Blaze era, and subject himself to it on a regular basis.

It is the perfect punishment for being a jackass.

I know what you mean. Metric comes to mind, which started out as equal parts Emily Haines and James Shaw, but of course Emily gets all the obsessive fan-love

That is because boobs > wang.

Dave Grohl is a better drummer then... whatever else he is doing these days.

Guys. srslywtf. Phil Selway is the only thing that keeps Radiohead a band.

ummm...errr....

I hear lots of obsessing over Colin Meloy over any other member of The Decemberists, but then again he mostly is the band so whatever. One of my friends maintains that D'Arcy Wretsky was the best member of The Smashing Pumpkins. I don't even like them much at all, but aren't their fans supposed to be all Beyonce over Billy Corgan?

Billy wrote most of her bass lines. Billy likes control.
