(FOUR) PUDDLE OF MUDD
They showed up on the scene, had a few hits, and then faded fast. They had “witty”, almost novelty type of songs. The whole “She f*cking hates me” and “I love the way she smacks my ass” stuff was popular for a while. If you take Nirvana and water it down to the point all you have left is water… then you’re still better than Puddle of Mudd. The vocals are such a “Coban” rip off that it makes Scott Stapp look like he’s never heard Eddie Vedder. Puddle of Mudd is harmless though.
(THREE) HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD
One part Slipknot, one part Kotton Mouth King, a big part shit. These little rapping white kids with flat bill hats, hoodies, and all the latest “cool” trends are rolled into a band where they all wear masks that look really generic. I have no problem with bands with costumey images. It’s just this band’s look and image seems so pre-contrived. Like it was fabricated by a record label to capitalize on the eccentric white trash demographic. I’d want to cover my face too if I were in this band.
(TWO) EVERCLEAR
Grown men who look like grandfathers should EVENTUALLY stop singing about stereotypical daddy issues. I never EVER enjoyed this band. I know they had a few hit singles in the 90’s, but all I got from it was “weird childhood, weird childhood, everything is wonderful now”. Serious… every song. How uncool can one band be? For the answer see Everclear.
(ONE) SEETHER
The dude looks like a chubby Jonathan Davis but has like maybe 1/100th of the talent. I’m not saying Davis is a genius, I’m a fan but realistic. I’m saying Seether is that bad. I had the displeasure of seeing them live. It was a horrible show. There was a cover of a WHAM song than included a really mean and homophobic introduction. That’s the kind of people who like Seether. It’s for simple minded people. It’s the guy version of a bad Evanescence cover band. Evanescence sucks too.
