bands that make you want to vomit...

[wing]

Coheed and Cambria are starting to make me want to vomit, if only just a little bit. Though, I feel this is a case of a band with a lot of talent that chooses to waste it on trying to be the world's largest sci-fi nerds. The complete slapstick humor of their videos and Claudio's ridiculous hair give me a slight tickle in my gag reflex.

2x. I don't see what the hype is all about. The vocals are way too Geddy Lee-esque for me to like them.

hear hear!! i totally agree. in fact, when i first heard them, i really did think "is that geddy lee in a punk pop band?"

I had Leno on last night in the background when he starts introducing this band called "The Calling". I glanced over to the tv set, thinking it might be interesting.
How wrong I was. I started to develop an ulcer when the first chorus kicked in.
I sat there amazed, that crap like this gets signed. Think Creed-like music with a skinny blond, boy-band type singer. It was bloody awful.

I can't think of the last time I heard such insipid lyrics. I didn't know if busting out laughing or feeling sorry for them (and anyone who actually listens to them) i smore appropriate.

Ever had these sentiments when seeing a band live or perform on tv?

I don't know if you read my post in the PJ thread in OT, but I wrote:
...i switched over to crappy leno and the F*ckin' Calling was on. One of the guitar players was also playing an orange (like the PJ guy), but sounded terrible. And that SINGER, makes me ill - I mean he is a joke right - getting all up into the camera, looking all serious and half jumping around saying some crap like "these are the times of our lives". Fuck, fuck, fuck. Long live PJ.

i really DID feel like I might puke, i mean seriously. and i have heard some bad music in my time - this really was one of the worst displays of music i had ever seen, jesus christ

I missed your PJ thread, but damn, you nailed it, we must have puked at the same moment. I mean, sure, I've seen 'bad' bands before, but something was really special about this one, it's uber-badness was clearly enough to make me jump out the window...that singer, my god that singer......he needs to be selling $40 sox at Fred Segal, not become lead singer of an already bad band.....

What about the voice of Geddy Lee?
How did it get so high?
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?

I know him, and he does.

AFI... My roommate loves this band. He plays them constantly...morning, night time, driving, the fucking ring tone to his cellphone! and even has Multiple (as in more than one) tattoo's that have something to do with them. God just hearing about them pisses me off. Fuck those guys.


I am getting might sick of Reggie and the Full Effect too (see above roommate)

Also Thursday. Yup, them too.

I just watched one of their videos online to see how bad they were. It must have been the guys voice but I swear to god there was a few seconds where my ears felt like they were about to implode. Im not even joking, it was this really weird pressurized feeling.

HAHAHAHA... this is hilarious. Did they intend for the video to be so comical?

And why does the kid drummer need so many drums and cymbals? It's not like he really uses any of that in the songs... haha.

You know who else I hate? New Found Glory. That super nasal, auto-tuned-to-hell voice, combined with the world's most generic pop-rock backing just makes me want to claw my own cochleas out and spray oven cleaner into the holes.

|<|>|

wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that new found glory uses an auto-tuner? I thought when you were in a pop punk band, teenage girls liked you so much for absolutely no good reason that your voice just started coming out at a machine-perfect pitch.

Have I been mislead guys?

Also, if you do that thing with your cochleas, record it and post in on this board. I'm curious.

I gotta say Maroon 5, but only because my girlfriend thinks the singer is hot and has to watch the video or listen to their songs on the radio EVERY time they come on! Damn.

BTW mjau, dig your signature...."I took some money from your purse".....

how about those guys is right.

then again, I didn't have even a low budget video put out with my band in it when I was 7.

One that I would later look back on and want to kill whoever reassured me that it was good.

Hey, thanks...gotta be one of my favorite songs of all time.

I havent even seen the video. I saw an ad for these kids in some local music mag here in Orlando. They were dressed up to kinda look like what's his face from AC/DC, all in school uniforms. Looking very serious for their age and the name didn't help much in the dont take yourself too serious dept. Anyways the thread made me look up their site as I was betting it would be a laugh.

God I am soo sick of that band! I have friends that could just play that song over and over, and time it comes on the radio (it seems to usualy be on 2 or 3 stations at once), they are so excited.
