Worst Bands in the World at the Moment. (Taken from a Blog I wrote elsewhere)

This is the list of the 10 worst bands in the world (According to me) Opinions and additional suggestions welcome


10) Slayer

I'm Sure I'll get stick for this, but who cares?

Slayer. All the songs sound the same, because it's all ridiculously heavy guitar with lyrics (that sound like a dog being attacked with a chainsaw) about how much you hate the world and the world hates you
This is all fairly avoidable. The worst thing is Slayer fans in general, who hate anyone who doesnt hate the world, and will actually beat people up for not being "Metal" enough...


9) Cannibal Corpse

Along the same vein as Slayer here - Babaric, indistinguishable death metal with inaudible lyrics about gore. Except more graphic than is humanly nececarry


8) Boys Like Girls

BLG as a band are just about bearable (at a push), as synth heavy pop-punk goes. I don't wanna hear it, and wherever this is, there are the annoying type of scene kids there (as in Scene kids that are also annoying, not all Scene Kids are annoying). What I really hate about BLG is how they can ruin a perfectly good gig - Kids in Glass Houses, touring with BLG... Ruined


7) Bring Me The Horizon

I'm sure someone will slate me for this too.... actually, unlike some things on this list, I can say more positive about BMTH - Apparantly their lyrics are meant to be clever, and they have been a source of confidence for many people.
The thing is, no matter how good your lyrics are, when they sound like a cat being dragged down the motorway, they lose all meaning. I never know what to think of Oli Sykes either - first he's recovered from a traumatic childhood, then he's supposedly assaulted a woman? then he releases a range of CLOTHES? Who's heard of a deathcore band with a clothing range? Hats off to him though, he's successful. I can't make up my mind on this guy


6) Panic! at the Disco

Possibly the most overrated band ever? For some reason hugely popular around my area, PATD don't seem to know who to rip off next... Fall Out Boy (itself a rip-off of Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World), the Beatles.... Totally samey and boring tunes with a singer who sounds EXACTLY like Patrick Stump... How did they get signed... Oh yeah, Pete Wentz...


5) Oasis

Yeah, I know they're popular, possible the most popular Beatles Tribute Band in the world. Annoyingly, people who play acoustic guitar at school gigs ALWAYS play wonderwall, which is a TERRIBLE song. It doesnt help your band when your two frontmen are total plonkers either. Thank god they split up


4) Jonas Brothers

No list of "Worst Bands Ever" is complete without the Jonas Brothers. Taking the "Rock" out of "Rock Music", the only reason this "band" recieves any attention is the "Disney" label, so that over-protective parents can be sure their kids aren't listening to songs about (Shock Horror)... Real life! (FYI Real Life is not super happy and perfect and all about love, like a Jonas Song)


3) N- Dubz

Strictly speaking not a band, but awful enough to get down here. Music that encourages children to participate in knife crime and underage sex... and buying prattish hats, and sending death threats.... N-Dubz represents everything bad about the modern world


2) Hadouken!

For some reason this band is classed as Rock... It's not. It's everything I hate about popular music in one big package.... Synth heavey, poor rapping vocals and lyrics about chics and dancing (and general Chavvyness)... that appears on all the rock music channels.... F**K OFF!!!


1) Brokencyde

Screaming inaudible vocals laced with crappy synth beats.... could it get any worse? To be honest, no-one likes this, they just think they're "bad" by listening to it. How delusional


Well you've read my rant... any feedback, or bands i missed, please comment

The First Post. Seriously

So, a combination of boredom, lack of homework recources and cumilation of really good, reasonably intelligent thoughts has led me to write this blog. I will hopefully update it regularly, and post bits of it elsewhere. Yay
