Fess Up- What was your sucky...

Recommended Posts

Guest Dmann2000

As many others I'm sure, growing up an American male around age 12-14 I wanted to be in a rock band so bad. Of course I was much better at thinking of lame band/album names and writing c-grade songs that were rip-offs of rip-offs. I think my worst offense was being a 13 year old middle-class white male with a good family trying to be a Metallica/Megadeth/Pantera rage-fueled anti-social punk, with introspective song titles like "Slayed in America", "No Man's Land", "Last Rites" and "The Exocutioner's Song" (A horrible rip-off of "Ride the Lightning", believe me it was bad.) Naturally I never actually tried to learn how to play guitar or develop any kind of a craft. My brother did, forming his own punk band later called Minimal Effort, recording a demo disc and everything.

 

Oh I had tons of booklets ripping off pop-metal, ballads, grunge, punk. I wish I still had them. I will leave you with this little gem I wrote when I was 12 (ripping off Skid Row of all things):

 

Pain, pain, pain

It's insane

Got to live my life over again

I can't stand to keep on going

Cause all I seem to feel is pain

Incedently, if anyone wants to hear my brother's work, apparently go to MP3.com and look under Minimal Effort (Wayne, PA) and you'll find it.

Howling at the Moon.

 

A 10 (yes 10) piece medieval metal/hair band. There were talks, some songs (pretty bad) were written, and that was the end of it.

Truth be told, before the Insane Clown Posse existed, I had an idea to start an insane clown group. I just planned to call it the Insane Klowns, and it would have been closer to Slipknot in appearance (this was also before Slipknot, naturally). But of course, that idea is taken now.

Mine where/are Dead Roar and Roaring Corpses.

 

First would be a Deathgrind band, the second a Blackend Noisegrind band.

Bands I planned on forming, 8th grade to 10th grade:

Freakshow (8th grade) - a Marilyn Manson-style band

Omega's Army (8th grade) - a rapcore band

Drezweiser (8th grade) - self-promoting (one of my nicknames is Drezzy) cock-rock band

Nightmare (9th grade) - Nu-Metal band

Alhazred (10th grade) - HP Lovecraft-inspired metal

Zhorn (10th grade) - War-themed thrash metal

The Wesux (10th grade) - Green Jelly with less talent (we actually played a show, and jammed twice)

 

My current pet project would probably be titled Dybbuk, and will/would be a punk/metal hybrid band with songs about death, war, horror movies, stupid things people do when they're depressed (particularly cutting), and politics. I've actually come into my own as a lyricist, especially when I know what the fuck I want to write about.

My attempt at rockstardom was a band called Vaginal Blood Fart. The goal was to be a brutal death metal/noise jam band. Total craziness was what went on when we practiced. However, we ended our quest for greatness when we found out that there was already a band called that in Florida. That caused VBF to break up and never see the light of day again.

Snake: A weird band that I thought would sound like a hybrid between Queen, Alice Cooper and Led Zepplin. Died after I figured that their were probably twenty other Snake or The Snakes named bands.

 

 

The Termites: Ugghhhhhh........I thought of the idea of it being like Vanilla Ice except for with two guys instead of one.....next subject.

 

 

 

?: A Blink 182/Green Day typed pop-punk band. All the members names would be punctuation marks or symbols like the lead singer was ?. Anyway it kind of died off when I stopped liking that type of music.

I thought that you were gonna say that you were in the one that's located in Florida.

 

'Vaginal Bloodphart' in Florida's vocalist is Bloodhound Gang's bass player 'Evil Jared'. Also the drummer 'Spanky G' also used to be the drummer for the Bloodhound Gang.

I had a group for two weeks called

 

Sanctum of the Dead

 

It was a Deep, Intropective mix of Classic Rock Ballads bled with free-style elements of rap

 

We only finished Three songs "Shiftless Souls" "Utopia" and the GREATEST SONG THE WORLD NEVER HEARD "Barney the Dinosaur is a Purple Phony"...

 

I'll call up on my friends who kept the songs hidden from it's potential GREATNESS and see if I can at least get the lyrics...

My friends have been messing with the idea of a band since they freakin' met. The current name is, naturally, "Three Minute Warning". They don't even like Rosie & Jamal, but will gladly rip off the name.

 

They've deemed me their agent/part-time singer. So far, they (we, I guess) have a two guitarists and a.. piano player? Yup. Our piano player can also play a synthetiser, so go us.

"Inebriated".

 

Think RATM, ripped off poorly, with lyrics about boobs and pot.

 

"Regurgitated Abortions"

 

2 person gore/industrial project. Never got off the ground. Pretty bad, but not terrible.
