Oh my god, what is this?

[Big Papa Paegan]

Oh god, Theory of a Deadman made it over to the States?

Years ago, unfortunately. Seether's been here for a long time, too.

 

[MFer]

I like "Not Meant to Be" :-[

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Seether's South African. Probably learned that during the tail end of my fortunately brief phase of listening to the local alternative rock station. They're also notable for being the worst band that my cousin said he's seen life. This cousin's favorite band is Slaughter and really enjoys nu-metal Vanilla Ice and Van Halen III. That's saying something.

 

[ZGangsta]

I got bored of listening to the contemporary country radio station at work and so I started listening to the modern rock radio station. This song is currently in heavy rotation:

THEORY OF A DEADMAN Hate My Life

It's like a musical version of the Things That Anger You thread from the old board. Fucking terrible.

Canada apologizes. So not only did Nickelback get huge down there but now their shitty proteges are starting to catch on.
God I hate that guy's voice.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Speaking of Nickelback

Something In Your Mouth - Nickelback + Lyrics

This is actually worse than that Theory of a Dead Man song. Post-grunge really is the worst genre. I'm going to start listening to the country station again.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

QUESTION: Why don't douche-rock bands like Nickelback and TOAD (haha) catch as much heat as rappers do for being blatantly hateful and misogynistic?

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Because no one's listening to what they have to say anyway. I think that it's generally a lot easier to get away with bigoted lyrics if you're a rapper.

 

[Czech]

Rock, though sometimes only nominally, is built around melody, harmony, and rhythm, whereas rap is largely a lyrical artform in which melodic and harmonic elements are often merely supplemental. With all the focus on the rapper and his lyrics, the hate and misogyny are way much more up-front in rap than they are in rock, where they can be more safely couched in guitar lines, mumbled delivery, melodic hooks, and any number of devices that take the emphasis off the words being spoken. If what you wanted to hear is "one guy's black and the other's white," then that too, but let's never forget the PMRC and their buddies in the Christian right who lost their shit over hair metal lyrics.

 

[treble]

My dad likes that Theory of a Deadman song. But he doesn't like Hey Jude. Go figure.

 

[MFer]

Speaking of Nickelback

Something In Your Mouth - Nickelback + Lyrics

This is actually worse than that Theory of a Dead Man song. Post-grunge really is the worst genre. I'm going to start listening to the country station again.

I thought that was Nickelback. A local strip club uses this song for their commercial and I hear it at least 3 times a night...just terrible.

Oh, and

[flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWTdh8eM_aY&feature=fvw[/flash]

I heard the preview on iTunes and thought it was a girl (yes, I know his name is Justin, but these days I'm seeing more and more suburban white girls with boys' names).

 

[Perfxion]

The song isn't too bad, just plain standard R&B-lite pop. Nothing really good, nor bad. Painfully average.

 

[Red Baron]

I'm sure the song would mean different once he hits puberty.

[foleyfanforever88]

http://www.cracked.com/video_17618_black-eyed-peas-have-officially-written-worst-song-ever.html

I saw this a few days ago and I think it's stupid. That song isn't even the worst Black Eyed Peas song.

 

[Richard]

It gets worse?

 

[Mik]

I dislike just about everything that The Black Eyed Peas have ever done.

But I really like that one.

 

[still fly]

I liked Joints and Jams back when I was in high school. Fergie fucked everything up.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Nah dude, the Black Eyed Peas were a mediocre "underground" hip hop act before Fergie and are a mediocre pop act with her.

 

[Perfxion]

Clear channel and Cumulus stations playing B.E.P. to everyone should go against the Geneva convention's rules of torture.

 

[Kinetic]

This one awful Black Eyed Peas Target commercial almost ruined my attempt at watching the entire series run of Twin Peaks on CBS.com. It was recently replaced by a U2 commercial. Not much of an improvement!

HOMETOWN BY MOONSHINE BANDITS

Oh My God, why?

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Speaking of that U2 commercial; is it just me or has Bono's voice changed dramatically in a bad way?

Future candidate for this thread?

After a successful Summer reunion tour that took them all over the globe, nu-metal pioneers Limp Bizkit are back in the studio putting the finishing touches on their 6th album, "The Bizkit Cometh", which is set for an early November release on Interscope Records. Their first album since 2003's "Results May Vary" (not counting the 2005 EP "The Unquestionable Truth, Pt. 1"), "The Bizkit Cometh" is a return to their no-holds-barred roots, forgoing the emotional undercurrent of the last record for pure, unadulterated anger and fury.

"In the times we're in, it's hard not to be a little angry," Fred says during a break from the mastering of the album. "You turn on CNN and are just bombarded with s--t, you'd have to be a fool not to go 'well, someone's gotta speak up about this', it's just a natural instinct to want to rise up."

On tracks like "F.I.G.H.T." and "Stand Up or Shut Up", it's easy to see that Fred had no problem rising up. "Want to change things, pick up a baseball bat/And swing that thing at the Patriot Act" he raps on "F.I.G.H.T.", before musing in the chorus "What the hell are we fighting for? Why the hell are we in this war?"

"And I mean, you could interpret them in so many ways, "Fred says about the lyrics. "There are so many wars we fight on a daily basis...everything from the literal wars in the Middle East down to the mental wars we fight inside our brains. This album is all about coming to terms with these battles we face, and saying 'it's ok, man, we're all brothers and sisters fighting in this thing...let's stand together and hold down the fort.' We want the people who listen to this record to get inspired to fight these wars, both literally and figuratively."

But it's not all doom and gloom. With the return of Wes Borland on guitar, the unrelenting ferocity of early Bizkit is back in fine form. "Wherever I go, whoever I play with, it'll never match the chemistry I have with the guys in this band, " Wes says before taking a sip of Chai. "Bizkit is in my blood."

And after hearing the scorching riff that Wes uses to open up "Backatcha", it's hard not to feel that Limp Bizkit is a happy family again. Fred rapping over Wes' fretwork and DJ Lethal's beats sounds familiar yet fresh, a welcome return to the Bizkit that once ruled the airwaves.

"Are we a family? Absolutely," Fred says with a smile growing on his face. "And you can hear that in this music we're now making. As much as we change and grow older, the brotherhood that is the Bizkit will always bind us together and keep us young and angry. It's like I say in one of the new songs: 'we're misfits/throwing hissy fits/and if you can't deal with it/then you can speak to our fists.' It's all for one, one for all in this group, like The Three Musketeers or The Boondock Saints."

Limp Bizkit's "The Bizkit Cometh" will be out in early November on Interscope Records. First single "F.I.G.H.T." will be hitting radio stations early next month with a video directed by Durst to follow.

17. Road Less Traveled ft. Norah Jones

When I think "pure, unadulterated anger and fury" a Norah Jones guest spot is definitely the first thing that comes to mind.

 

[Gary]

To think, she was on Mike Patton's Peeping Tom album.
