well, I tried to make I worst song contest a while ago but it failed. Now I decided to try again, but this time its worst band.

It will use the same structure as the song contest, which is:

Stage 1: Nominations (open until we have 25)
Stage 2: Group stage (top 2 worst in each group proceed)
Stage 3: Final Poll (like any other poll on NS, after poll the poll closing date comes, the one with the most votes in champion)

I nominate Fall Out Boy. FTW, or is that FTL?

Second Fall Out Boy. Or just about any emo band that anyone else mentions, because sorry but that genre is just a black hole of SAD.

I'd like to nominate The Killers.

Modern Talking. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Talking)

BON JOVI

always.... *vomits*

Backstreet boys, if they can be called "a band"...

Atreyu

My second nomination goes to Avenged Sevenfold.

Limp Bizkit.

Hmm.

Kiss.

Hmm.

Kiss.

Uh, it's K.I.S.S.

But, yeah, they suck.

I nominate Poison.

Can I also nominate John Mayer? I really hate that guy. Stupid voice, bad songs, constant radioplay, everyone on iTunes network has him, bashing my head against the table, etc.

Modern Talking. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Talking)
Ha! So seconded.

Panic! At The Disco.

One good song, that's all they ever had (I'd nominate Fall Out Boy but enough people hate them already).

And leave Emo alone, it's a hell of a lot better than metal (with the exception of cheesy bands like Dragonforce).

The Pussycat Dolls. Blech.

My Chemical Romance

How could a movement that started so well produce crap like that?

Say Wha'? :mad:

The likes of Pantera, Megadeth early Metallica etc. pwn ALL emo. Nu-metal on the other hand sucks as equally as emo.

Emocore. It started out amongst punk bands who had musical diversity, lyrical relevance, and an independant spirit.

MCR are just major label crap posing as "horror rock" to cover up for the fact that they are another way of plastic "Emo".

Either you're not listening to the same band as me or you have no taste :p

Mmm-hmm. Or perhaps it's just that you heard some dumbass label them emo and automatically wrote them off without ever actually listening to their music.

Yep, that sounds most likely to me.

My Chemical Romance

Seconded.

Mmm-hmm. Or perhaps it's just that you heard some dumbass label them emo and automatically wrote them off without ever actually listening to their music.

Yep, that sounds most likely to me.

Given the amount of exposure they get, I doubt anyone could have avoided listening to them at least once.

*shudders* I'll allow some Pantera as good but Megadeath and Metallica were both crap. About the only really good metal was before it really diverged from prog-rock.

Mmm-hmm. Or perhaps it's just that you heard some dumbass label them emo and automatically wrote them off without ever actually listening to their music.

No, unfortunately for me I have cousins who seriously like them. I can be pretty sure I don't like them from the amount I've heard.

Heh, writing off emo automatically is understandable. The whole style is such utter bull.

*shudders* I'll allow some Pantera as good but Megadeath and Metallica were both crap. About the only really good metal was before it really diverged from prog-rock.

Putting any emo above masterpieces such as Megadeth's "Rust in Peace" and Metallica's "Master of Puppets" + "Ride the Lightning" albums just shows lameness on your part IMO.

Or a liking for music which isn't half-distorted into static? Nah, couldn't be.

Given the amount of exposure they get, I doubt anyone could have avoided listening to them at least once.

:confused: Really? I seriously had never heard any of their songs 'til I borrowed one of their albums... *shrug*

Uh... no. They're pop rock... they call themselves pop rock... any fans of their actual music (i.e. people who don't just swoon over the singer) consider them pop rock. They really have nothing to do with emo.

A liking for music which is pointlessly whiny and that comes off as self-pitying crap, or just vapid nonesense shows lameness.

No, couldn't be - you're right.

Well we'll just have to disagree on this. Anyhow it's not a thread about worst genre people.

WORST BAND

I can't stand metal.

Epic fail.

Uh, it's K.I.S.S.

Oh, aren't you the anal one?

:confused: Uh, I think you left out the first part of that sentence. What the hell are you talking about?

he's taking pot-shots at emo and I'm taking pot-shots at metal. Hopefully he's not taking it seriously.

Dude, Megadeth and Metallica suck. At least listen to some good metal. Pantera, Sepultura, Opeth, something like that...

Uh... no. They're pop rock... they call themselves pop rock... any fans of their actual music (i.e. people who don't just swoon over the singer) consider them pop rock. They really have nothing to do with emo.

Uhuh... Sure... :rolleyes:

Sorry, they aren't fooling anyone. If it walks like "emo", talks like "emo", and looks like "emo... It's emo, no matter what name it gives itself to boost record sales so that it's corporate masters will throw it another bone.

The music MCR produces uses the same guitar style as melodic hardcore (like most "emo" bands do), produces lyrics with the same themes as "emo" bands, and wears the same fashions.

Oh, aren't you the anal one?

OH NOES, someone insulted me for a half-hearted joke. [/tears]

True. It's been fun though :D

Dude, Megadeth and Metallica suck. At least listen to some good metal. Pantera, Sepultura, Opeth, something like that...

Dude, I do listen to Pantera and Sepultura also. They suck now yeah. But not back in the day.

True. It's been fun though :D

True :D

I have to add though emo groups also use distortion BTW :p

Uhuh... Sure... :rolleyes:

Sorry, no. Rites of Spring is emo. Heroin is emo. My Chemical Romance? Still pop rock.

MCR's music has the guitar style of pop rock... lyrical style of pop rock... they look a lot like goths, although, if you think appearance is important, you must have a very shallow taste in music.

OH NOES, someone insulted me for a half-hearted joke. [/tears]

It wasn't an insult. I'd like to think that I can insult much better than that. :p

okay. we still need 11 more nominations.

Dude, I do listen to Pantera and Sepultura also. They suck now yeah. But not back in the day.
Mmm... alright. I don't like early Metallica very much either... but I guess they were technically good.

It wasn't an insult. I'd like to think that I can insult much better than that. :p

Ah, but you'd be wrong :p

i'll make nomination myself. i think the shaggs is quite bad.

Rites of Spring is, at best, Emocore. And Guy Piccioto has repeatedly said that there was nothing different about Rites and that Emocore never existed. Embrace, the other band that is remembered for Revolution Summer had this to say:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mbdh0Qm_5A0

So, the modern style of Emo (descended more from the post-92, breakthrough Melodic Hardcore ala Bad Religion et al in terms of musical style) shares next to no actual identity with the music you're talking about, and yet is most certainly not plain old Pop Rock (although it's just as bad).

And if I think appearance is how bands market themselves... I understand the way the music industry works! Amazing. People are shallow cretins who use fashion to sell themselves (out). I know this comes as a shock to you, but the way any band presents themselves to the public is an indicator of what they want to be seen as. Everyone has done it. It's one of the first clues that a band gives.

How about one of those making the band groups. They all sucked.

i'll make nomination myself. i think the shaggs is quite bad.

Haha :D

um... this is a thread for nominating the worst bands. the "emo sucks" stuff goes here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=498217)

The Black Eyed Peas.

Hey, that reminds me.

Angels and Airwaves. Not so much any real objection to the band (they're just common-or-garden shit rather than standout shit) as the fact that Tom Delonge seems to think that he's some kind of kitten-shitting messiah.

I second the vote for Black Eyes Peas while they are still Pop shit. They should drop Fergie and do the Hip Hop Funk group thing. Though then they probably wouldn't get half as much coverage.
Pump it is good until you get to Fergie's part.

That good band/asshole members of band thing can be common. King Crimson is one of my favorite bands (when they're playing real music and not making noise, anyway) but Robert Fripp, genius guitarist and only founding member left, is a total ass. He runs away from fans when they try to approach him and generally has a very elitist attitude.

He's doing the sound effects for the new Windows Vista, as well, so that's another reason for you Microsoft haters out there to dislike him.

I kinda like Angels and Airwaves. The thought of Tom Delonge doing anything but teen-punk is pretty amusing in itself.

The actual music wasn't awful either. Not great either (and I'll admit I was expecting it to be closer to the last blink-182 album than it actually was which colours my perceptions more than a little) but if you feel like listening to it it's not bad.

we still need 7 more. damn you, worst genre thread!

What about Jack Johnson, then? I don't like him.

your nomination is added, and I really think the person who hyjacked my thread is really who should be blamed.

Insane Clown Posse.

Nothing sucks worse.

I nominate Slipknot. Thirty billion times.

thank you for your nominations. Only need 4 now.

KoRn

What movement?

And My Chemical Romance is good...Agreed. They're easily the best band to have begun this millennium...though that isn't saying much.

BON JOVI

always.... *vomits*<singing> "I will love youuuuuu babyyyyy alwayyyys" <teary puppy dog eyes>

Say Wha'?

The likes of Pantera, Megadeth early Metallica etc.I'll give you Megadeth and Metallica, but Bon Jovi > Pantera ...though that isn't saying much, either.

Matchbox 20. I really hate those robotically bland, insipid pop/rock bands.

For personal reasons, I nominate Guster. They got big when I started college and for the whole year I kept hearing that stupid "Amsterdam" song and God I wanted to punch that guy in the mouth.

The Cheeky Girls

Say Wha'? :mad:

The likes of Pantera, Megadeth early Metallica etc. pwn ALL emo. Nu-metal on the other hand sucks as equally as emo.

...agreed, and dragonforce isnt cheesy....

A second to Pussycat Dolls and The Cheeky Girls.


And I'd like to add The Vengaboys.

has anyone mentioned sugar ray?

if not I nominate them. From metal to co-hosting entertainment tonight (or one of its stupid spinoff shows)

ultimate in sell=out

Damn you. I had just forgot them. Now I have to take therapy again!

Indeed.

There are bands that are close, and some worse, becuase they arent trying to be good, like most boy bands..

Some of the 80's Hair Metal bands were awful too.

Cinderella.
Britney Fox.
Stryper......Pffft!! theres a good one!

I change my vote to Stryper!

Agreed. They're easily the best band to have begun this millennium...though that isn't saying much.

Pfft. I'll take Sunn O))), Pelican, Isis, Mastodon, the Black Keys, 65daysofstatic, Explosions in the Sky, the Decemberists and the Butterfly Effect over them any day. I'm sure many more will come to my attention once they've had a couple of years to establish themselves, as well.

(sure, some of them were around before the start of this milennium, but to my knowledge, none of them released an album before 2000. So no more of this "modern music sucks" stuff, please. You should know better. :p)

D-12 and Blazin' Squad - they can't even class there 'music' as music! They are just a bunch of talentless chavs, who are only worshipped by those who have a lower IQ than them.

The thousandth time, it was the worst ever.

Dear God.

Metallica pulls out a sawn-off and blows bloody chunks out of the shitty genre that is emo.

I like some new metal as well though, "Dope" is fun stuff to listen to.

As for worst band: Wig-Wam, craptastic Norwegian band.

Simpleplan and HIM.







Awful.
