[zed32]

Now that you have your answer, can we still keep guessing?

[Outlaws]

Four Non Blondes? That dude sounded like Lane, but looked like a bull dike.

Ya know....if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....

 

[Track Rat]

Violent Fems?

That was their song! Good job! I couldn't remember it. (And that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Come to think of it, thanks a lot for getting it stuck in my head again!)

 

[Dogman]

Yeah, didn't the singer fire the band once they got big because he claimed he had all the talent? The next album bombed if I remember correctly~

Yep...the first album had about 4 songs that were pretty good....and the dude has a killer voice. He canned teh band, and kept teh name....and sort of dissappeared.

I think the band went on to become Tantric....

I think it was called "touch peel stand" it was a pretty big hit in 98 or 99 if I'm correct. I Never really got it, but people seemed to like it.

The singer for Days of the New was featured on an episode of A&E's "Intervention", which is not a show you want to be featured on. He has a meth problem. I believe the rest of the band went on to Tantric.

Travis Meeks was his name, wasn't it?

He sounded like a Lane Staley clone to me.

It seemed like almost everyone coming out around that time was a Layne Staley clone. A lot of cookie-cutter drop-d riffage too. I'm pretty glad that's over.

Ya, and what did we get in return? A bunch of skinny sissies who paint their faces white, put on eyeliner, dye their hair black, and then comb it into their face like they are Straight Outta Closet!

 

[JB1979]

I guess you could make the argument that its a continuous cycle of fairly original and interesting acts that inspire less original/talented people to ape them that inspire even less clued-in people that ape them. I mean, if you look at the roots of the eye-makeup/hair in the face look playing punk (or some variation there-of) you go back to The Misfits. In my opinion, The Misfits ruled, until Danzig left.

Then, later that AFI guy decided he was going to wear a devil-lock and a tight leather muscle shirt and strike Danzig poses for a while and do fairly passable punk rock which I never found all that great. Then he decided to go more goth and immitate Dave Vanian while his band started playing more accessible stuff and some kids in saw that and started My Chemical Romance and now Hot Topic has all kinds of tshirts to sell.

Also, I think Avenged Sevenfold fits in there at the end somewhere too, but I don't think I'll ever pay enough attention to them to really figure it out.

Anyhow, at least I can feel fairly secure in the fact that I can enjoy Ween forever without a crop of lesser-than imitators trying to bite their schtick.

what pisses me off about Avenged Sevenfold is that they used to be so good! Waking The Fallen is one of my favorite rock albums. but now everyone just knows them as the annoying ass lame sounding band witht he singer who sucks and who made that stupid Bat Country song. maybe one day they will be good again? i doubt it.

Yep...Travis. Not exactly Lane, but close. Did an excellent job on a few tunes, but then I then stardom kicked in.

I think William Duvall, who used to be in Shadows Fall, is now with AIC...another killer voice.

Haven't heard from Meeks in a while...ego may have killed his career. Or, the second and third albums....

violent fems --- dang; you beat me to it. i bet we are right.
