worst frontmen/women

I really hate the guy from Hatebreed. I really hate Hatebreed too, I've never really cared for them but they were at a fest, so I figured I could sit throught their set, try not to pay too much attention. Well, after the crowd went apeshit running into each other and being manly, the Hatebreed frontman and lead guitarist started to bitch about how the waitress at a resturant "spilled" a cheesburger on the guitarist lap. Then they continued to filp the bird at said resturant and say "Fuck you, Claire!" Then they made the audience say "Fuck you, Claire!" My first question, how do you spill a cheeseburger? Second question, why get pissed over an accident, you testosterone fueled jerks from Hatebreed? Maybe it wasn't an accident, and the waitress knew these douchebags were in Hatebreed, and dumped the cheeseburger on him on purpose, in that case, I say, "Way to go, Claire. You're number one." Stupid Hatebreed, with their dumb jerseys.

[B]I'm gonna take heat for this...Joey Ramone. God that band was so overrated and the buzz over his death was unbelievable. Maybe it's because I wasn't alive during their "prime," or maybe I just missed something. Whatever the case, I can't stand him or his voice. [/B][/QUOTE]

Finally, someone says this. You are completly right. The Romone's are a pieces of shit, even in there prime.

Its been my experience with punk over the years, that your voice, doesn't have to be beautiful to be a good frontman in a punk band. How many punk bands have amazing singer fronting them anyhow?

PS--Lets not bicker over this. I don't really feel like it.

Don't worry, I won't bicker.

The thing about punk bands: They suck because the singer has no talent. And the rest of the band may have talent, but they don't use it.

Maybe they don't have singing talent. Maybe they don't even have writing talent. I guess punk music is something you have to identify with. When they get on stage and 'sing' these songs, they reach you, or they don't. They reach me damn near everytime and I love them for doing what they do. Even if people look down on it and think its shit.

You have a point about Hatebreed holy shit do they blow.

But think...we might not have punk or even scene kids in general if it wasn't for the Ramones, so I can't even say the impact they had on society was good. How many times have you wanted to go up to a punk kid that was doing the punk jig in the mosh pit and punch him in the face? You can thank Joey Ramone for that one.

durst definitely gets my vote. who ever let that guy have a mic?

Ha.. the guy from Saliva, wow.. Shit band in general, but Jesus, I got pulled into see them play.. (I didn't have to pay, and I got free dinner afterwards. Not really worth it, but I had nothing better to do at the time.) So anyway... Yeah.. he's like a wanna-be Kid Rock.. And as much as Kid Rock sucks.. Wow. What's it like to be Suck²?

Mosh pits are quite annoying. No good comes from them. I'll never forget when I got into it, and outgrew it almost immediately when kids started doing it to Bush and the like. Moshing, hardcore dancing, pitting, whatever name you call it, its still lame.

I remember Michael Moore had an episode of the Awful Truth where he would officially endorse any candidate that dove into a mosh pit that he brought with him. Most people refused but Al Sharpton was a man about it and took the plunge.

Al Sharpton invented hXc.

"Sure, there were a lot more punks than there were four years earlier, but there were also a lot more posers. Posers, were people who looked like punks, but they did it for fashion. And they were fools, they'd say 'Anarchy in the U.K!' You see? [I]Anarchy in the U.K.[/I] What good does that do to those of us in Utah, America? It was a Sex Pistols thing. They were from England, they were British, that's what they did. They were allowed to go on about anarchy in the U.K. I mean, what the fuck is up with all the England bullshit? Union Jack is a fag. I once knew a girl who would only sleep with someone if they had an accent. Have you ever heard of anything more ludicrous in your life? So every asshole in Salt Lake City (and let me tell you, plenty of assholes in this general region) that wanna do a little of this ::thrusting motion:: would get her drunk, put on some stupid fucking accent like 'Hey Mistress, would you fancy a shag?' nd there she would, fuckin knees to the sky. It was sad, it made me really sad. The poor girl had no self respect. You see, to me, England was nothing more than a big fuckin American state. Like North Dakota, or Canada. You gotta look at me, and you gotta be thinking 'Hey buddy, why you so mad?' And I'll tell you. Because for all the fawning that went over the English bands in the SLC, those fucking english chaps could only say shit about us Americans. All we were to them was a bunch of hicks. Well you know what? I'm not a fucking hick! I hate the rodeo, I don't wear cowboy boots, horses smell like shit to me, and I've never fucked anyone in my own bloodline. By definition, I';m not a redneck and goddamnit I ain't a fucking hick. 'The sun never sets on the British Empire. Yeah? Well the sun never sets on my asshole! And another thing that pissed me off, talking about who started punk rock music. Was it the Sex Pistols in England? Was in the Ramones and the Velvet Underground in New York? Who cares who started it? It's music. I don't know who started, and I don't give a fuck. But one thing I do know: is we did it harder, hot damn we did it faster, and we definitely did it with more love. And you can't take that away from us."

<<<< If you bothered reading that, you may know it's from SLC Punk. It basically sums up my views on punk and such.

I stumbled upon a conversation of this matter in a record store saturday night. Bascially the same thing. Punk isn't a fashion statement. Punk isn't a state of mind. Punk is music. Punk just is.
