View Full Version : Bands that suck

Ok, here's me, presenting something I just gotta say.
My little speech on Bands That Suck
I hate MTV. The only good thing there is the Andy Milonakis show.
If MTV promotes a band, I usually tend to hate that band's guts.
Here are my top THREE worst bands of the moment.

1.) Green Day
How ironic, that the band that sings "Don't wanna be an American idiot." is infact now, a bunch of American Idiots. They call themselves punk, but they're really just guys wearing mascara singing emo songs. I HATE emo!
How is this not stupid?
http://www.altpress.com/sections/wallpaper/03-19-2002/greenday/GreenDay800.jpg
Mainly I hate them becuase they are just so popular, and such a bad band. I can understand people who liked them from the first album, but anyone who likes them simply because of American idiot is well.... a blind follower of pop culture.

2.) My Chemical Romance
Yet another emo band. Yet this one has fifty times more wrist-slitting action that green Day. They're REALLY emo! And freakin' popular because everyone loves 'em at my school. Yeah. Popular + Emo = NOT VERY GOOD
Please people - stop whining and do something for a change! Why are they bad? Angsty, for one. And everyone in America has their new cd.

3.) Pink Floyd
Ok, give me a break on this one. I don't hate the band , I just hate how everyone I see -EVERYONE!- has that stupid prism shirt. Yeesh. So there were only two bands I hated. I do hate more (Every freakin' rap 'artist'- and I do mean that term very liberally - is just.. .. Rap just plain sucks. Period.)

That's my rant!

Next up at some point later - band that do NOT suck!

Hanson! Hands down! They suck! ok...I lied, I really like Hanson...I'm playing "mmmm bop" as i type this...I'll shut up now...
BTW I like Green Day and Pink Floyd, but that's just my opinion.

But I know what you meen. There are a lot of people wearing the "Dark Side Of The Moon" shirts that it's pretty annoying.

And yeah I agree. Greenday for the most part seems like they Sold Out

Yeah Axel Rose pisses me off too dude.

And by guitarist, you meen Slash? Yeah he's awesome. He's currently with Velvet Revolver.

And I know what you meen by new Metallica. But still overrall their new stuff is better than most crap out today.

The days of Kill 'em All to AJFA was their ownage period. Black Album to St. Anger is okay to me.

Yeah Black album was great and all (the most old era out of all the newer stuff).

But you got to admit it there was a definate style difference in the Black Album from ...And Justive For All.

Strange, they go from what is their best album ever (Master Of Puppets being close behind) to something complete different just like that.

Dude, I know what you are talkjing about! Green Day used to have such awesome songs, and nkow they have become some propaganda emo machine! WTF?! I really hate the emo scene, esp when somebody says, Oh, I like so-and-so, they are soooo punk! And then they get the studded belts and teh hair coloring. It turns out they are listening to Good Charlotte or New FOund Glory or some crap like that! GRRR! Take that wanna be, combat boot wearing crap out of hear before I send Anti-Flag and Agent Orange and NOFX out to kick your emo asses!

90% of all indie, emo, pop, new punk, and new alt., nu metal, and J-* bands suck. All there is to it.

akitaka
08-29-2005, 04:59 AM
It's preference and content. I've heard a few people I know that make music praise Coldplay, but their sound is too damp for me. Some others like "the Supersuckers", but it's too dry. We can't really percieve bad music on "facts", because there are almost none.

However, any "musician" who doens't write their material, or band that does not write together at least once in a while, is in my F-list. Another point is that the said "musican" or band cannot depend on anything else but their sound to attract an audience. Groups like the Polysics are an exception; I speak more of those who always prattle about "punk" "hard rocK" "style"; just....no, please.



I think one thing that annoys me most, though, is Bono (U2) and his stupid sunglasses.

Good music. There are hundreds of genres and subgenres out there. The ones I mentioned, along with the other various poseur metal genres are piss-poor excuses for music.

Although I prefer rock from the 60's-80's, classic hard rock, classic metal, jazz, and the various dance genres.

Indeed. The rock and metal in that period is my favorite. Can't stomach the new stuff at all.

Not many people seem to like jazz... At least not the other rock fans I talk to. They say it's too erratic and lacks a formula. But that's the beauty of it. Damn man... and I'm a sucker for the sax.

Dance music is fun. It's nice to listen to when cruising and can create some funny situations.

Now as for bands that suck... Metallica in the present, not past, Slipknot, Limp Biscuits (I know I mispelled it) and... well you get the picture.

akitaka
08-29-2005, 05:16 AM
Hmm. I'm fascinated with a lot of Japan's newer stuff, though. The Jindie stuff; some of it has me hooked. As for the U.S. or Europe for that matter, I've never really had a preference for what has been offered; some Jazz is nice (not smooth jazz, which makes me crash into telephone poles), as is the acoustic music...but almost never the more mainstream, or rock, for that matter. I know I'm just being relatively lazy and not looking, though.

Actually, I'd punch you for the Rush mention. And probably the Dio mention, too.

But I've never liked Guns 'n Roses, and Metallica has become a bad joke.

Emo sucks. Period. Ditto for its cousins screamo and hardcore.

As for popular stuff that sucks:

1. Coldplay is absolutely horrible. One of the most overhyped bands ever. And anyone who compares them to a band like Radiohead is a complete fucking moron.

I don't even like post-OK Computer Radiohead, but it's still better than Coldplay.

2. Queens of the Stone Age have become a huge disappointment. Their first, self-titled album (which has become increasingly difficult to find) was great, Krautrock-inspired desert rock. They've gone downhill since then. Plus, Josh Homme cannot sing on key when they play live.

There are many more I could list, but it would end up the length of a book.

No offense, but I think Geddy Lee can sing better than any emo vocalist. Don't flip out, it's just my personal opinion.

And I'm talking Dio's solo stuff; to me, Sabbath post-Ozzy (joke that he has become) is not Sabbath.

I beg to differ. Dio is great. Holy Diver!

He did Holy Diver, man...

Damn straight! Not to mention "Rainbow in the Dark" or "The Last in Line," among others.

Not many people seem to like jazz... At least not the other rock fans I talk to. They say it's too erratic and lacks a formula. But that's the beauty of it. Damn man... and I'm a sucker for the sax.

I have to admit, I'm not much for newer jazz. But I love vintage swing and big band. Even stayed in band when I didn't have to in high school just so I could play in the jazz band (which focused mainly on old swing: Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, etc.).

I agree. As long as they don't change their music for the sole purpose of pleasing others, it's not selling out. I see no problem with making a profit off of what you love doing.

Not so much that they suck but System of a Down is hands down one of the single most overrated bands I've ever heard.

Metallica is given a bad name because people say they sold out. But I don't like them because their music went to shit after a while. I love their older stuff like Enter Sandman.

Btw, psychicstooge... I like your taste. I will say that I like Ozzy no matter what, though. Just my preference. And Duke Ellington is the shit man.

And I like Ozzy's music for the most part; it's just the damage done by years of drugs and the caricature he's become that turn me off.

08-29-2005, 06:04 AM
Oh and just to expound on Rush, Neil Peart. Discussion over.

There are also some bands who, while not overrated in their own right, tend to have quite a number of overrated songs. I'm really quite sick of hearing "Freebird" or "Stairway to Heaven". Especially when I hear them a dozen times a day for various reasons.

Yeah, you got the cold part right. The ninth level is where Satan himself is. You are frozen for all eternity in unbreakable ice as Satan(who's face is made up of the three traitors) spews an endless amount of blood on you.

Don't remember any gnawing though.

Fun times in hell. Seriously though, the ninth level is tame compared to some of them. In my opinion at least.

I still hate that the first band put down was Green Day, I do have all of their albums, I like them a lot. Don't call them American Idiots, they changed their look to go with the times, what teens rockers are interested in, they could have done without the mascara but maybe its to hide their age a bit, they're in their early 30s now~ Don't hate on the American Idiot album, it good to know how they felt about the whole 9-11 and the current situation in America (or at least how Billie Joe felt since he wrote the songs~). Anyways thats all I have to say for now, can't think of what bands I hate off the top of my head, i kinda block them out.

No other band offends me half as much as this Billy Corgan wannabe little loser. They're horrific sounding live and on record and have no idea what they're doing. Describing them as emo (when At The Drive-In could be described as emo) is like calling Britney Spears jazz fusion. They all need shot. Preferably in the stomach.

I also hate My Chemical Romance... the suck... they just... suck

I hate emo- A bunch of 14 year olds with black eyeliner and hair parted over one eye who cut their wrists and whine about how their upper middle class parents just 'don't understand'........

They say that Emo is the new goth...

Well, goth and emo kids are generally just whiney bastards who know nothing about the real world... so any music that falls under those categories can suck on my proverbial balls.

U2 sucks... Avril Lavigne sucks... Simple plan sucks (for some reason though, despite my utter hate for them, I like the song untitled)... Bowling for soup sucks... Lillix sucks...

I have to stop, I'm getting pissed off just thinking about how much they all suck.

I can't beleive it.

Greenday has been one of my favourite bands since grade 7.

And they are still one of my favourite bands. Ya, so what if some of their lyrics are some of their political views. Its ten times better than what most of the other crap that is being spewed out there.

Even if you don't like the lyrics, the music itself is still awesome. Sometimes I just drone out the lyrics and just listen to the music. That probably one of the reason I can still enjoy some rap/R&B/hip hop stuff.

One of my Fav GD is an old school one..well not that old school...but its a few years old now, its called Minority. Was a pretty big hit.

From their new album, Blouvard of broken dreams is my fav.

Also Liked Offspring way back when. Their new songs arn't so good. But some of their old ones are good.

Like the classic one that was in a video game, "All I want".

I hate good charlotte so very much... and whoever next says Nirvana was overhyped ill killem :P Nirvana has to be one of the best modern bands ever. I mean Kurt had some serious problems his songs just bleed anguish and tears. THere hasnt been a band yet tht has put tht much hurt and feeling into any of there song. And we will never know how great or how bad nirvana would have became becuz he killed himself his music jus proves money cant make you happy.

I hate all rappers except for Kanye West, Common , and Saul Williams. If you liek political music Anti-Flag is the shit. Coldplay last CD started out good then fizzled out halfway through. Interpol and Muse = Badass i could listen to them for years. Beck Beck Beck is awesome. I love too many bands. MCR and The Used are good at least they are not as whiny as their followers. Their music is bearable and they do suck live haha very much i could sing their song live so much better lmao. Man some of these new teen bop emo bands are fuckign killign my brain cells...

Metallica sucks. Well, now they do anyways.

I have little to no respect left for Ozzy. It's not the drugs that bother me. It's the disbanding and then reforming of Sabbath 10,000 times, the going on MTV, and the years of letting Sharon/Jack/Kelly fuck up the music industry and Ozzfest. I'm so sick of seeing good musicians get tossed out of Sabbath or pissed off to the point that they leave Ozzfest because of Sharon. What happened to Iron Maiden was the last straw. To be honest, Iron Maiden has and always had more talent than Ozzy or Sabbath. They lost plenty of other bands because of her as well. Rob Zombie, just to name another.

I believe I've also mentioned before that 90% or maybe even 95% of all emo, indie, pop, new punk, and new alt. sucks.

As for Pink Floyd, they're far from overrated. Why? Because they earned every true fan they have. Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here alone are enough for them to deserve all the fame they have. Not to mention Animals and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Any one of those albums is enough to eclipse the entire careers of most of the shitty artists we have these days.

As for Pink Floyd, they're far from overrated. Why? Because they earned every true fan they have. Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here alone are enough for them to deserve all the fame they have. Not to mention Animals and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Any one of those albums is enough to eclipse the entire careers of most of the shitty artists we have these days.

Thank you. Just because a bunch of teenage retards are wearing Pink Floyd shirts does not mean their music sucks.

As for bands that suck, just turn the radio on any 'Hit Music Station' and about 98% of that will qualify. I haven't bought any new cd's since about 2000 because the music now a days just...sucks

1. Coldplay is absolutely horrible. One of the most overhyped bands ever. And anyone who compares them to a band like Radiohead is a complete fucking moron.

In all fairness to the comparison, I think a lot of people make it because Coldplay tries to rip off Radiohead's style. There's no denying the similarities in style, it's just that Radiohead does it so much better.


I hate people who rant about bands that ''sold out' just because they became successful... I'm sure if they had talent they'd avoid making money so they could 'keep it real.'

Wow. You took the words right out of my mouth.



As for bands like Greenday and Nirvana, well, you may think they're overhyped now, but they were extremely influential in the 90's. Greenday was never my thing, but they did influence a lot of bands of today.

Nirvana is undeniably one of the most influential bands, post 90's. That's not saying there weren't other great bands like Alice in Chains, etc, but Nirvana solidified grunge as a viable genre and introduced new sounds to the public. (My favorite album of the time is Pearl Jam's 10, but every other album they put out after that kinda sucked. In PJ's defense, Eddie Vedder did say, "You spend your whole life writing your first album, and a year writing every one after that." The man has a good point.)


Neko = I don't particularly like U2 anymore, but I did like their Joshue Tree album... =\

How can they be annoying, tell me one good reason.

And "Because THEY ARE!!" is not an answer.

They're probably one of the only Hip-Hop groups who doesn't talk about gettin' hoes, shooting up n****rs on the street, etc etc...

Dear Mr. Vocab.

Quite frankly I find their songs to be mindbogglingly dull. The entire concept of this band annoys the crap out of me. Take a hip-hop group that didn't quite make it as a hip-hop group, give them a pop-makeover and add a token hottie who continually gives us variations of the same nasal "no-no-no" b.s.-lines.
I'd say I was within my full rights when referring to them as a pain in the beehind.

Besides..how can they not be...because they aren't!! is not a good answer.

Ok, bands that suck. Lots of people will disagree with me on this one, but I am entitled to my own opinions.

Bob Dylan. No, it's not his voice. I like his voice; yes, from a technical standpoint it sucks, but I like it because he sucks honestly, not like today, where any moron can have a computer modify their voice until it's palatable to the ear. In fact, his voice adds character to his songs.

But, what I really don't like about Bob Dylan are his lyrics. Lots of people love his lyrics, but I find them way too vague to enjoy. I want my music to be approchable to some extent, but when I'd have to spend hours trying to dissect his lyrics just to get anything out of the song, that's going overboard to me. Mind you, I'm not exactly the type of person who is too interested in lyrics.

I'd tee off on all the lame Emo, Pop-Punk type crap, but that's too easy. Same goes for modern rappers. I think the thing I hate most about modern pop culture is goddamn bling...

And as for Green Day, they are not a terrible band, but they have absolutely nothing on even an average mainstream rock band from the 60s, 70s, or 80s, which is why I don't listen to them very much. I think they do all of that mascera crap just to pander to their main audience (teenagers who can't think for themselves).

Bands that sucked... how about Ratt? Great White? White Lion (except for the Transformers movie theme)? Like the whiney teen pop-punk/emo stuff of today, many and I do mean many hair bands of the 80's sucked some serious balls. Though there were occasionally good songs i.e. Poison's "Everyrose has it's thorn" (though only cuz it's the meaning of life :D ) and ahh... umm... White Snake's songs (only cuz the videos had Tawny Kitaen).

Oh and Pfalzer if you like Kanye and Common I'd give Mos Def and Talib Kweli's Blackstar album a shot. Some of the tracks have this good spoken word poetry vibe like Common's tracks.

Haven't really heard enough of the Game to make a judgement.
He just seems to be a typical MTV pop-rapper, boring, pointless, unimaginative etc but not worthy yet of my hate or attention.

He's just as annoying as G-Unit's rappers: All they rap about are having sex, shooting other black people on the street, taking younger women to a candy shop, etc etc...

And besides, 50 Cent's reaction to Fat Joe at the VMA's was just, plain, IGNORANT.

As far as I'm concerned, Gwen Stefani has no idea what she's "singing" about.

From Chapter 60: Azrael Goes to Tokyo Part 2 (http://www.outpostnine.com/editorials/teacher60.html):
I went to Harajuku hoping to find something interesting, but it was nothing more than wanna-be trendy, boring clothes shops (I don't see what Gwen Stefani is wetting her panties over).

When Gwen Stefani goes on about Harajuku Girls she really means Shibuya Sluts.

She has lesbian tendencies and is suffering from Yellow Fever.

The song [Holla Back] was down-right ANNOYING.

Went to a No Doubt concert with my then GF once. We were at the front of the crowd against the stage. Gwen touched my girlfriend. I was the one that got the very very good trickle down effect from that that night.

And my god, the women has a sensationally athletic body.
