Worst Band Ever
 

Now that we have a slim thread called the best band ever (the poll doesn't even have bands on it), I thought I would start a worst band ever. I have included my list of worst bands. Hope evryone has one on my list.

I actually like GN'R. The rest I'm not so fond of. Although, I try to keep an open mind and, in doing so, I occasionally listen to rap. Not my favorite, though. The rest mentioned I despise...creed...good chrltt, bleh.

What about Insane Clown Posse and Sliplknot?

I elect ICP and all of the other clown-rap-killing-pathetic-things.

And bands like Slipknot and Mudvayne, and their ilk.

Ditto on the I.C.P. What little I dared listen to of their crap left me begging for an embolism. I wish someone at the plant would rub all their CDs with a flesh-eating virus.

And may I also cast a couple votes for Evanescence and Hoobastank (plus worst band-name on them). And Linkin Park.

And F.Y.I: "Rap" is not a band. It's a verb. There's a lot of good hip-hop out there, outside the charts.

This kick in the Nards was brought to you by Pitseleh..

Helping improve the quality of the water in the gene pool, one N00b at a time..

:D

Oh, you're just too sweet beautiful... *smooch*

I try, I try.

I'm going to keep that smooch in my pocket for later..

Just in case..

It might make the difference between Self-Immolation and Fire Bombing..

Thanks though Hawtie..

I am trying to dig up your email as we speak, so check it in a bit..

I Will, Likely as not offend s ome here, but I Nominate Cradle of filth.
*Cringes and waits for the blows*

As a fan of Cradle of Filth, I will say that your opinion is very valid. A lot of people are going to agree with you. :)

my opinion on this rises not from an opinion that they are talentless (i would be lying if I said they were) but from the fact that they have taken something new, interesting, good and truely innovative (ie Black Metal) and bastardised it with pretty much every cliche in the book, allong with the very one of the very things that the Black Metal Movement veheomently opposes, Style over substance both lyricly (do not tell me they're deep, he just uses a thesaurus) and visualy (ie 'Trend').

RAP SUCKS !!!! but i must be like lost or somthing cause i dont mind icp , slipknot craddle of filth , creed , linking park, guns and roses and hoberstank !!! i thought someone better defend them ? there sorta getting trashed !

Rap does not suck....check out my thread that's all about Rap.

Yes, because all true fans of Linkin Park are incapable of spelling it properly. Fit to form, eh? Slipknot has diminished lyrics that adhere to a stereotype. Cradle of Filth, though the lyrics are written poetically enough, tends toward a stereotype and has been slowing down drastically with creative regard. Creed is popularly characterized as a Christian based band, and will of course receive flak for this.

ICP is pure unbridled crap. I swear to god. Not a single word of a lie. With shitty lyrics, shitty music and an image fit to the precedent set by the other two, they are perhaps the worst band I've ever been exposed to. Slipknot runs a close second due to needing 9 members in order to sound that marginal.

Yes, this is an opinion based thread, but if anyone has a capacity for musical content as well as literature, they will tend to be a lot more picky with regard to the kind of music they listen to. I am in the unfortunate position of being musically inclined, a vocalist as well as a song writer. Nice of you to support bands, but better of you if you can support your defences rather than allowing them to sit there unarmed.

hEY thats not cool , hmmm individuality ever heard of it , strange concept ! u dont seem all that open minded :-p nothings really bad some things are just better then others , and i have crap taste fair enough but i wasnt going to let all those bands be slogged and not at least stand up for what i listen to !!!

You didn't stand up for it. You said "Hey, I listen to those! They aren't bad!"

Why aren't they bad?

I gave you ample reasons for why Slipknot and ICP are bad. So yes, there is such a thing as bad music, and an open mind is what we all had when we first listened to that crap music.

Also, everyone is an "individual" a little, unique snowflake, but we're all unique, little snowflakes, trying to be unique, little snowflakes, and in the process of striving to be a unique, little snowflake, we melt into a puddle of other formerly unique, little snowflakes who have unwittingly stumbled into the particularly unfortunate situation of not being unique at all.

Juggalos and Juggalettes: ICP's "unique" and "individualistic" fan base.
People with collectively shitty taste in music: A major portion of Slipknot's fan base.

There's a difference between me not liking music, and me thinking it's crap. Me not liking rap is me having a distaste for a particular genre. My distaste of Slipknot and ICP is me liking a particular genre and finding two particular bands within a more general genre to be subpar, ie bad.

Maybe if you were, say, a 96 year old cross-dressing retiree living in an assisted living community on Queimada Grande, surviving off Alpo, Muselix, AND listening to Linkin Park, Slip Knot, Cradle of Filth, Creed, and that ilk…then that might speak volume toward your individuality.

But since you’re just an another angsty teen popularizing an already stereotypical mindset, taking the same unoriginal defensive posture, doing the same damn thing everyone else is doing…yeah, I’ll have to call bullshit on you ever hearing of the concept, individuality.

You could, I don’t know? Spend a night on Queimada Grande, sleeping on the ground, with a necklace of live mice around your neck? Yeah, that’d make you different! You should do it!

I corrected that sentence, so I wouldn't feel so dirty for answering it.

What you're saying there... it totally negates the whole concept of taste. In order for there to be a thing such as taste, there must necessarily exist 'good' and 'bad' taste. And if those to concepts exist, there must also be people of sufficient knowledge to arbitrate in these matters. Who can say: "This tastes bad, and here are the reasons for it." I won't get into why ICP and CoF suck, as Disfunction and Shemjazza already did that so eloquently. But I will say a little something about taste.

Now don't confuse the musical kind with the signals that the buds on your tongue sends to your 'brain' when you put something in your mouth. But we can use that as an analogy for now.

Say you have a person (you?) that has only ever eaten canned food in his life. This person thinks something like: "This is food. It fills my belly, it comes in a glossy little can with a colorful label on that looks neat and tells me what it is. I can always count on it to taste the same, no surprises. It's produced by a large corporation, so I can basically find it in any store. Convenient."

Then this person is introduced to someone (me?) that has eaten a lot of different courses, in various restaurants in various corners of the world. Who maybe even knows how to cook quite well. He's tasted many processed foodstuffs in the past, but after discovering real culinary delights, decided those meals were sorely lacking in originality and nutritional value. This person then presents the canned-food-person with a delicious meal, made with fresh ingredients, maybe fish, quality vegetables and interestingly juxtaposed, yet well-balanced taste-elements. The canned-food-person frowns: "This doesn't look at all like the canned spaghetti I usually eat. Are those vegetables? Isn't that like, healthy?" He takes a bite. "Yeech! This tastes weird! There are too many different tastes. It's confusing. No, give me the can instead."

See how someone can turn down a perfectly good and healthy meal just because they're not used to it? Now this person is just gonna keep on eating canned food for the rest of his life, until he wastes away from malnourishment. All because he couldn't see the point in broadening his tastes. Because he'd rather just gobble up what was served to him by the food-corporations instead of trusting the judgement of a connoisseur.

Sad, is what it is. A terrible fate, unfortunately all too common.

Wonderfully crafted analogy, pitseleh.

Thank you. Writing it made me hungry, though.

Yes, I quite agree with Dis. A deliciously satisfying analogy.

And wholesomely nutritious!

there all so bad and u can only pick 1 :(

Gawd Demmit! i was trying to seed open discussion about CoF and this pathetic, sniveling little bastard has to go and wreck everything! a pox on thee! Grrrr and et cetera!

GUNS 'N' ROSES ROCK!!!

Hmm, why hasn't anyone mentioned Coheed & Cambria? They suck major nard.

Linkin Park, well... they would be okay if EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEIR SONGS DIDN'T SOUND EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME. This is actually the same complaint that I've had for years about Barenaked Ladies. Can't we all just agree people like Good Charlotte and Clay Aiken are complete fucking jokes and move on with our lives?

But then again... I think we need people like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan as sort of 'starters' for kids who eventually may develop good taste in music.

Anyway, my vote goes for Coheed & Cambria.

Rockandrose, we really didn't need that.
Rockandrose, you really need cyanide.

I've never heard Linkin Park. Or ICP. Or Cradle of Filth. Or Coheed and Cambria. Or Slipknot. Or Good Charlotte. Or Barenaked Ladies. Or Simple Plan.

Heard OF them... seen the t-shirts... but never heard the music.

I am COMPLETELY out of touch with popular music of the last 10 years. And I like it that way! :D

Good! Lots of today's music is crap even though they are just so 'punk'. -_-*

I dont need cyanide! You can't tell me what I need!

Just ignore him. He's posted twice and not even in the right section the first time. -_-*

Well...... You forgot to add at the poll PAGODE........lol;........ but I undestand....

So, in that case, I chose rap......but pagode is the worse in the world!

I dont understood too but "lascia".....

The worst band on earth is Grim Reaper.

Case in point:

Heh. Soon as I saw this thread's title, I knew there'd be mention of ICP. Rolling Stone published a while back that they were the "Worst band of any genre... ever."

I'm from detroit and I bought the first ICP album (well, the first published one) around the time it came out. A friend of mine was into local music and we HAD to get "Carnival of Carnage". They had some funny stuff. Ringmaster and Tunnel of Love were probably their best. Then they slowly went down hill. I never bought the last album. But as far as I know, they still do a Holloween show here in Detroit every year. I went a few times. The last time for me was "ICP vs GWAR". It was good but the woman feeder looks bigger in videos.

They used to have a radio show here at midnight on Sundays (for like a month) in '99. They also had a hotline where you could leave them messages and they'd talk shit to you on the next day's message. Violent Jay called me an asshole on it once.

Incidentally, I understand that Violent Jay lives somewhere near ten mile and Power in my hometown, but that news is pretty old. Also, they used to stay at the Red Roof Inn at I-275 and Grand River. You could see the tour bus parked there all the time. The would occasionally eat at the denny's there (Until they closed it). They're nice enough, but nicer to the ladies, if you know what I mean. I haven't heard from them in a while. Are they still doing stuff?

i think green day sucks major ass

Rap....apart from Linkin Park...all the rest is totally CRAPOLA!!! Eminem *shudders*

I'll be straight and true.....RAP SUCKS!!!!!!!!! I mean, all they do is rhyme about "Humpin' da Hunnys" and "All dat money"...and what is it with rapers and the word "Yeyah!"? Seriously....you can't spell "Crap" without "Rap"

I agree, by the way....weren't they supposed to come out with a new CD this year?

As the say Rap Is Crap. I listen to the old ICP like RiddleBox or Ringmaster.

What....the fuck.....is up with all these people? You, Dagon, have been watching too much MTV, shut that crap...

MTV?
I don't watch MTV at all (well, not anymore). Nobody I know does, because its is no longer interesting. I hate rap, and you may not, I can accept that, but this is an opinion thread, and I'm just giving mine......

well said Dagon

Thanks.....

Wow. I'm one of those 15 people who voted that Rap sucks. I don't like most of the lyrics of the newer artists. They rap about the silliest tings. The older stuff was way better. But still...I will listen to rap if the beat of the music is so good that it takes my mind off of the crap lyrics.

I agree, sometimes they have good beats, but its the lyrics and the music, I already explained earlier.....
