Vansmack woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or is posting before his first cup of coffee.  I maintain Journey is terrible but they are not worth fighting over. I admire your spunk.

It's Mountain Dew, actually, and you're spot on.  Halfway through my first, and feeling much better now, thanks.  But I'm still fighting to the death to defend the honor of Journey.  Don't stop believin'!!!

The only praise I can give them is that Wes thanked Ween in the liner notes to one of their albums.  Otherwise...yeah.

It's like Rocky 5, the fat Britney era, Barry Bonds in a Pirates uniform and vegetarian only restaurants: Does not exist.

Perry-less Journey is like strippers that keep on pasties & g-strings.  Completely & utterly pointless . . . . .

So long as we can add "Don't Stand So Close To Me '86" to this list of non-existent, pointless things, I'm in . . .  
 
 Matter of fact, what were we talking about again???    :D
 
 P.S. Insane Clown Posse is awwwwwwwful.  Tack on a vote for them.  Anytime an act can make Nelly look lyrical by comparison, a re-evaluation of your existence needs to be taken.

[/b]
disclaimer: i used to work for this newspaper and went to college in this town and frequently check out what's going on there... i saw this, this morning.
 
 SO ANYWAY - wes borland is actually touring with his new band and obviously doing so well as they are making a stop in huntington, west virginia.
 
 from the story...
 "I'm glad that people were there to listen to [Bizkit's music] and to check it out, but I find it irrelevant compared to what I'm doing now," Borland, now 32, and the frontman and principal songwriter for Black Light Burns, said by phone from a recent Orlando tour stop.
 Pressed further about the "Three Dollar Bill Ya'll" anniversary, Borland dropped a bomb: "I bet I haven't listened to the first record in all of ten years."
 
  oh, and don't forget about his oil painting career! (mostly NSFW as i managed to find out at work)

I'm surprised Fallout Boy hasn't been mentioned...
 
 Got a couple more criteria
 
 Claiming the bass line you lifted is one note different than the original.
 Having the hit breakthrough single ghost written.
 Listing one's own band as best album, etc of the year.
 
 the last two are in honor of SR-71 since i'm pretty sure that Butch Walker actually wrote that first single of theirs after the band delivered their album to the record company. I  remember ROTFLMAO seeing the bands leader list his band as several of his own top picks in a Baltimore paper.

haha no doubt, what a piece of shit that song was.
 Though I have to admit, Insane Clown Posse gets a pass from me for their movie "Big Money Hustlas", their song "Fuck The World" and their Howard Stern appearances (especially their on-air fight with Sharon Osbourne).

I also find it funny that it's no longer cool to bash U2.  I'm sure by the next album, it will be all the rage again....

I would assume your first one is attributed to a certain Mr. Van Winkle? haha

Yes Fuck the World.  That is a brilliant song (for the toll guy they curse out on it).
