Who here likes punk....

yeah .. im lost to 😑

What evil dead said is true, in some ways, and I do like all types of music. I can take them, and listen to them all the time, I do like some key genres more then others, but that doesn't mean I hate those. Once you've been an all around musician for fifteen years like I have, come talk to me.

oh .. i see .. since your a 15 year music Vet .. its understandable ..

what did I say again?

idk ... 😐

Evil Dead, here are some EMO bands...

Taking Back Sunday
Further Seems Forever
Finch
Anatomy of a Ghost
Saves the Day
Antares Sky
The Get-Up Kids
Guttermouth
H2O
Fugazi
Senses Fail
At The Drive-In
Count The Stars
Brand New

I think you'll find that the majority of those bands are actually quite talented. And as you said, all bands have played something emotional at one point, and that's why I think the name EMO is stupid. But it's a great genre of music, I think.

ah..........it must be an underground thing as the only band on that list I've ever heard is Fugazi.

Um...I havn't listened to Fugazi in years but last time I did, they were playing hard rock bordering on a punk sound. What qualifies them to be called "emo"? I know they don't just sing sad little songs about lost love. They are (well when I listened to them) a hard rocking band. Then again, it has been a while since I listened to them. Green Day went from playing Basket Case to playing Good Riddance/Time of your Life within a matter of years. I hope Fugazi didn't turn into a bunch of whiny pussies.

No, no. It's about playing heartfelt music that can touch people. Fugazi started the emocore genre. It's not about whiny lyrics, but people mistakenly brand it as such.

Like all music.

exactly. That's why I said EMO is a dumb name. All music is like that.

i guess so ..

It's the damn truth no one can stand.

yep.

<------- can stand the damn truth

<<< ---- me niether ..

<<<-------Is the truth 😄

Periera is an idiot! just kidding, Jennaroo

Evil Dead, have Corporate Avenger ever stated why they wear face paint? I'm just wondering if it has to do with them wanting to disguise their identities or if they just felt like wearing face paint.

*random comment*

corporate avengers....i saw them once and it was hilarious. brings back some ****ed up memories.

Yes they have.......and it has nothing to do with disquising they're identities. They don't always wear it.

The lead singer Spike (credited as Corporate Avenger on the albums) is the former bassist of the punk band The Humble Gods........and brother of the the former Humble God's lead singer Brad "Daddy" X, who later went on to found and perform in the band The Kottonmouth Kings.

"Spike, aka the Corporate Avenger, is one-half of the vocalists in the group and is the brother of KMK front man Daddy X. He paints his face in white with a black cross to symbolize the suffering that his ancestors had received at the hands of Christianity. Adawee, aka the Wind, is the other half of the onslaught known as Corporate Avenger. He is a Cherokee Indian who paints his face as well. He says he paints his face to remind him of his ancestors who would paint their face when they went to war, and says that they are also fighting a war; a war of ideas."

after that little bio it all makes sense because i saw those guys with the kottenmouch kings. another wacky thing about that concert was that the little guy with the liberty spikes had a megaphone instead of a mic. does he do that often? and one more great thing bout that show was that they had a guy drinking beers on the stage holding cards with the name of the song they were playing. walking back and forth.

arent they very political, or did i catch the wrong message?
