Bands that Look Great, but Sound Shit.
 

Hate it when that happens. You see a picture of them and go "fuckin' hell, I'm 'avin some of THAT!" Then you listen to them and just think, why?

Exhibit A:

White Zombie (apart from their first album, Soul Crusher, which is fucking brilliant)




Exhibit B:

The Lunachicks



Exhibit C:

The Distillers (well, Brody Dalle anyway)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs



Client:



Raveonettes:



and, last but not least, Ladytron:

yeah, the same happens with album covers... band names... how many times you get a album just because of the artwork and feel disappointed after listening to it?

any and all fashion punk bands

 

Well, maybe just chappy to the left and chappy second from the right. And there's a song or two that are all right. But generally, shit.

Holy shit the drummer (the chinese guy) looks uncannily like my brother.

I like bloc party. Be nice.

I don't pay much nevermind to the way bands look. It's too bad most of them don't have good fashion sense, though.

I guess I have different taste:

You have horny taste.

White Zombie? Look cool?! They look like any standard shitty metal or "grunge" band from the 90s, man.
And Brody is fucking HOT, plus they have some really good songs (my best friend remains that Choral Fang is a fucking awesome album, I haven't heard it all, though).

Only joking

aids wolf.

White Stripes

THE RAVEONETTES are actually a very good band, if you ask me.

heh, the raveonettes... I remember looking into them cuz of their whole surf rock/noise of their singles but they never perfected the style

I don't think many of the bands posted in this htread look great. Bloc Party coming ahead of the head, I'd say.

The Donnas- All pretty bedworthy, but thier music gets old fast.

They don't really do anything for me.

I would bed the first on the left. But that's about it. And I wouldn't listen to their music.

Gwar

drawn on abs are METUHL

distillers are terrible. brody's ugly as fuck. white zombie is the shit!

Deerhoof... but I wouldn't go so far as say they sound like shit. Just too cutesy.

jesus crap! whos that?

oh god, tell me its not dana international..

and hows about the horrors and slipknot?

and for how long have aids wolf been looking good exactly?

(this is positively the last time i post on this thread, promise)

AAAHHHahahahaha surprise!

i'm so depressed

I've never understood how someone could call a band "Too cutesy". The chick in Deerhoof has a beautiful voice, and she uses it quite well. Also, it's not like the songs are loaded with a million rainbow synths or something. Deerhoof are amazing. I can see someone not LOVING them, but they are far too creative and ... well, good ... to be called shit. In my opinion! To some, Melt Banana could be considered "cutesy". Polysics? Definitely cutesy. Swirlies, Pixies = all have "cutesy" vocals. I mean, I know what you're saying and I'm not trying to cause an argument, I just find it weird that you said that.

Not to mention that they don't look great at all. They're all really quite ugly and boring, except Greg Saunier, my god!

aids wolf look interesthing, maybe not "hot" or whatever.. but interesting.

The lyrics are too cutesy beep beep this and panda panda panda that. She also does all the weird japanese posing on stage that just, I don't know. Gets on my nerves. Also note that I didn't call them shit.

She's a french teen-pop singer that 10 years old people love

...but you said that sound like shit. Isn't that the same thing? Hmph.

Actually, re-reading it now, I think you made a type-o..

Yeah, typo.

Wouldn't.

Fuck me.

I'm with you, deerhoof has A.D.D, they always have ace into's then an annoying 'ickle twee singing then a cool bit then a naff clever 'tight band' bit then some more irritating singing..and so on. they'd be brilliant if they'd just cut out all the rubbish bits and did more of the cool bits, y'know?

Isn't that the one that sang "Je ma pelle LO-LI-TAAA" ?

I see, her boobs have gone bigger recently.

How could anyone miss this handsome looking bloke from this thread!
