well to get back on track heres a photo of me.

Wow you should be an inpersonator.

Ok, I'm just going to be honest.

You're not funny, and those guys look ****ing stupid.

:roll:

Sorry, MP, but, eh, he's right....

Agreed. They scare me to the point I don't want to get any song from them because it might be as spooky and messed up as they look.

Y'know, KISS looked "spooky and messed up" in their days, but their music didn't sound ANYTHING remotely like the image they portrayed.

Yeah, that's true. KISS is awesome. :D

True but these people seem riduculous. OH well maybe ill get a song and see what its all about. And what MP sees in them.

If anyone disrespects the Misfits for their "ridiculous look", myself, GK, and Matthew are going to hop into a copy of the A-Team van with the Crimson Ghost painted on the side of it and hunt those people for sport.

That is all.

Nah I love Misfits they rule. But those mushroomheads seem a bit weird. Oh well dont judge a book by its cover they say so I will have to get a song.

Seeing how I have never heard their songs, I must say they look like giant jackasses who wouldn't know quality music if it bit them in the ass. If you want me, I'll be heading East, on a train bound for Atlantic City.

That is all.

EDIT-Now that I take a serious look at them, they all look like they're 38-year-olds! Talk about mid-life crisis.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

*agrees with 'tron as he jumps into a westbound train*

Just a thought, if ridiculousness (ridicularity?) in looks doesnt matter to some, then why hate Good Charlotte? Most people I know, don't like GC cuz of their appearance, which I do happen to agree, is homoriffic, but their music is awesome.....

UGH, like I'd EVER be caught DEAD in Atlantic City! :dead:

And actually Jerry Only IS about 40, and from standing right next to him, I can safely say he could probably kick the crap out of 99% of the people here :lol:

And the fact of the matter is, many bands from NOFX to Metallica to AFI to about a million others credit the Misfits as a major influence, as likewise the Misfits credit bands like The Ramones as a major influence. Again, if you judge a band by how they look, you're the one cutting off your nose to spite your face.

As for Good Charlotte, I don't love them but I don't hate them the way many do (ahem... GK aint around is he?). What I think it boils down to is that as far as their "look" goes, they try very hard to LOOK like "punks" in the same vein as the Sex Pistols and whatnot, with the piercings and tattoos and the weird hair and all that. But they're not. They play the same type of pop/punk as Blink 182 and a million other bands out right now that try to act "punk" but they're not. I, for one, am opposed to the elitist "I'm a punk/No you're not" elitist posturing B.S., but the fact of the matter is putting on a Dead Kennedy's shirt and sticking a safety pin in your eyelid does not make you a "punk". It's just like how people hate Avril Lavigne because she calls herself "punk" for wearing a tie and a boys' undershirt, meanwhile she had never even heard of the Sex Pistols. It's not so much the music people hate, it's the phony image.

Although some say they hate Good Charlotte's style because it's overly simple and basically the same as a million other bands that are out right now. Me, I don't mind their music but they definitely fall into the "songs I like, some songs I don't" category. I do have two of their CDs, but I hardly listen to more than a couple songs.

I have GC's 2nd CD, and it's probably my 4th or 5th most listened to CD I own. Of course I think we've established that you and I have different music interests, so it's probably a bit different with you (Sean). I can't stand GC's look-at-me-I'm-a-punk appearance. I can just imagine them sitting together with a SPIN magazine deciding how to be cool next week. In all honesty I took their picture out of the CD case, just so I wouldnt think of what they looked like when I pulled the CD out.

And don't get me started on the lead singer of AFI. He's even scarier to me than MJ.....*shudders*

Cool your engines there, lad. I kid with you! Besides, Atlantic City is Hell. I perfer Wildwood myself. Nice place..

Oh an umm, to stay remotely on topic...errrmm..I have no idea how you guys see a snorkle in that picture,

It's weird how Davey (from AFI) has changed over the years. I remember seeing them when they first started out and he looked absolutely nothing like he does now. Short hair, big ears, few if any tattoos... I think he had some life experiences which changed the way he viewed the world and likewise how he expresses himself. Which would also explain how AFI used to stand for "Asking For It" but now stands for "A Fire Inside".

Still, you seem to judge people by their looks a lot (no offense or anything). Davey's a nice guy (well I only met him once but he seemed like a swell fella when he was talking to us in the parking lot at the Stone Pony), a great singer, and probably one of the most talented people in rock right now. Imagine... a singer in a rock band that can actually SING.....

Don't get me wrong, I love AFI's music, it's great. I just heard my first AFI music a yr or 2 ago, so I don't remember the old Dave. sorry. But dude, he has a voice and a half. His appearance is just somehow disturbing to me, though.... On an interview on the radio, he said that in the recording studios, sometimes he'd have to hold towels in his hands, because sometimes he'd get so into the music that his fingernails would dig in and cut his palms. Kinda cool, yet crazy....

:sweatdro: gee I dont rememeber asking anyone what they think about mushroomhead. god some times I swear the people here are so ignorant, it blows me away, I know I act real stupid here, but man I feel like you people are attacking me, god mabey your the one that looks like a retard.
you people need to be more open minded and not so damn stupid and not attack others that are just being nice.

you people really need to shape up, and believe me when I say ive been told this be many people before, but you people (those that dissed mushroomhead) are real jackasses.

Posting random pictures saying it's you just isn't funny, nor was it ever. That's my real point. I just stated that they looked stupid, because well.. in my opinion, they do. Calm down, alright?

Nobody can comprehend the awesomeness that is Rammstein...

Cqb, I bet you wouldn't like them that much if you understood the lyrics.

Nothing wrong with them, but is the second guy from the left a midget? Wow, he is short. My comments on the bands discussed? They have taken there persona to a whole new level, just like ICP, Rammstein, Cradle of Filth, etc, they start to think that they are their respective characters and it gets old, REALLY quick.

Remember when Kiss and Misfits went to WCW? heh, those were the days.

:lol: Hell yeah!

who said I was trying to be funny.

It was a little obvious you were trying to be.. :roll:

I'll hop on the GC thing here. I can't stand them. They seem to be intentionaly ripping off every 'punk' band before them, and even bands outside of punk. Take their MTV VMA performance with the cheerleaders... in black... with red and black pom-pom's and red anarchy A's over their left brest. Sound familar? Nirvana's SLTS video had them, over ten years before, yet GC says they came up with it.

Their music really has no lyrics I can connect with. I'm sorry, but whining about bad girlfriends over and over again gets old. Granted, I haven't heard anything besdies a handful of songs, but they seem to be catering to the "Oh I'm so depressed for no reason" teenage market. If you like 'em, good for you, but untill they do something even remotely original, I'll pass.

Getting back on topic:

IMO, the best artists/groups are the ones who don't adhere to one particular image for long, but rather are dynamic in their appearance due to either the times changing, mood changing, or just overall wanting to try something new for once. Nobody does this better than God himself, Trent Reznor ;)

Let me show you what I mean in a series of pictures from certain NIN videos in different years:

Now, while it's true that his hair and face are consistent in many of the consecutive years, what matters are the CLOTHES; Trent will be dressing like GK one day, like me the next ;)

:o holy crap rez, you really took this thread seroius

Well isn't he a Very Pretty Hate Machine... :lol:

I'unno I always liked Axl Rose's onstage style. Gotta love a guy who goes onstage wearing a kilt, an N.W.A. cap, and a bulletproof vest :lol:

no idea why i'm posting this.....
 

Yep, Reznor is up there with being able to change his look, but I'd give that to Madonna. Look at how many times she's changed how she looks, how she sounds, how she acts... it's insane really. She went from whore to pry the worlds best mom. Add in the fact that she's always doing new things with her sound.

And she's suddenly British. The f*ck did that happen...

You said it brother.

Sorry to ressurect a 2 day old thread, but, I had to clear something up


How can you say that GC's music is about bad girlfriends??? Most of GC's music isn't about bad girlfriends (some of it is, but what band doesnt have a song or two about that?). First of all, their first real "hit", lifestyles of the rich and famous is about money, not love or girls. There's a song about his dad leaving his family:

Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again

I remember baseball games
And working on the car
Told me that he loved me
And that I would go far
Showed me how to work hard
And stick up for myself
I wish he wasn’t too hard
To listen to himself

Their other singles aren't about bad girlfriends either! (the anthem, Hold On, Young and Hopeless) Dude get your facts straight.

GC music is good for the most part, even thought, as I said before, the members of GC are completely and outrageousely gay.

BTW I HATE the song, the anthem. Definitely one of the worst songs I have heard in a while.
