We are the Invisible Spatula. We are the Grilluminati. We eat before and after dinner. We eat forever. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the dining room.
i'm grateful for bands that name themselves things like "fifty foot ninja" and "i wrestled a bear once" so you know right away that they're loving terrible without having to waste any time or money.

Never heard a single one of their songs but there's a No Leg Day guy at my gym who wears nothing but their shirts so I'm assuming it's really bad.

I remember turning on the radio one day, driving to work and hearing them attempt to cover "Bad Company"

Like it sounded like the guy was trying to go "Type O Negative" on the song, but he was just over singing the ever loving poo poo out of it.

gently caress them, and gently caress the state of Rock Radio in this country.

lmao id never heard this, thats a pretty apt description. especially that dumb talk-bridge. dont forget the rampant pinch harmonics for basically no reason.

also almost every video ive found of theirs is nonstop soldier worship and they have an album called "war is the answer"? what the gently caress is up with that

The first concert I ever went to was:

Disturbed
Mudvayne
Spineshank

This was right after Disturbed's first album had come out. The lead singer was wheeled onto the stage inside a metal cage. He was then released and broke free from his straight jacket. Even as a retarded teenager I thought it was corny as hell.

I'm not as convinced like....DJ's or listeners actually pick what wants to be played any more.

Like that new Nickelback single? Like was there anyone actually clamoring for it?

We need some loving hipsters or some poo poo to just pick out music.

I think record execs a long time ago used to be sorta clueless and would just throw poo poo at the wall and see what stuck to some extent

Hey, the kids like it! keep playin it, Earl


But for quite a while like pretty much anything you hear on the radio has been engineered in an underground lab 5 miles below the earth's crust to appeal to a specific demographic with laser precision or is scientifically processed to be as beige as possible to have wide appeal

I'm pretty sure most modern rock stations are owned by a single corporate entity that programs the format across the country. Clear Channel or something.

True story: Just drove down the pacific coast in a truck with no satellite radio or input jack. I listened to all the local rock stations as they came up in each city/county I passed through.

Other than sliiiight regional differences (more Seattle bands in Washington, more Incubus and Sublime in California), the playlists were virtually identical.

Even the old "back in rotation" songs were the same. I mean, really, Take It All Away by Puddle of Mudd plays upwards of ten times in a three day trip on multiple different stations in different cities in three different states? That's no coincidence, I says.

most of them are definitely owned by clear channel and play the same thing across the board. i havent had a car (and therefore not listened to the radio, because why the gently caress would i) in a couple years but im reasonably confident that they all still play mainstream rock hits from nirvana -> now too.

Yeah. What's really funny is all the 'oldies' stations (we have several ofc. b/c only olds listen to FM Radio anymore) always get stuff back in rotation in the same time. So Cold as Ice won't come back on just one station, it'll be everywhere for a few weeks. Right now I am so loving sick of I Love Rock 'n Roll and Barracuda I want to die.
