    nothin in history would be affected if we just got rid of these sickening boy bands. theyre like an itch in your back that you just cant reach. they cant sing, they cant dance, they dont write their own shit, and the only reason theyre on the charts is bcuz they got themselves some abs. they have no personality whatsover and nothing worthwile to offer society. hell, if they were immigrants they would be deported bcuz they havent done anything.

    True....true....true....all too true!!! While you're at it though, you might want to think about getting rid of some of the girl bands too. They're just as annoying. All I have to say is...death to the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys first!!!!

    What's a "boy band"? It's not just a band made up of boys, is it, cuz I know a lot of bands with boys that rock.

    Hanson?

    draven-- yes spice girls, b*witched, and anyother band like that needs to go.
    Gee- i described boy bands quite well, an all male band with no talent who survive by singing sickening love songs and leeching off of pubescent teens' hormones
    Mala- hanson should be the first to be erased. they were the beginning of the recent wave of boy bands.

    Sometimes I like boy band songs. It's usually very temporary, but every now and then I hear one that's pretty catchy (in that common, just-like-everyone-else sort of way).

    I have those frightening feelings occasionally too. its usually when im feeling quite vulnerable. and thats how they get ya (hehe... i always wanted to say that). they still need to be erased.

    so is motorhead.

    But if you want to talk "boy band" in teh modern sense of the word...

    Anyone familiar with the band TRUSTcompany? I think they are a boy band masquerading as a heavy rock/nu-metal/emo band.

    Rollins had something to say about that. He said you should either be a rock band or a boy band, not both. He did a great impression of one of these new rock acts whcih act all hard and yell for the verse, then in the chorus sound like choirboys. He then associated this music with the people in LA who drive SUVs, especially the young males who drive hummers and H2s (he referred to those vehicles as "dickheads"). He then did an awesome pantomime of one of those guys behind the wheel, singing along to one of those songs. I almost wet myself.

    stop telling what he said, sem! save some for me!
    just wait 24 hours!


By patrick on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 10:59 pm:

    did he perform shirtless sem? girls like that part.


By wisper on Monday, February 3, 2003 - 09:53 pm:

    no

    but for us he talked for 2 and a half hours on only 4 sips of water.
    Last time it was 3 for 3, but you know, he's getting older.

    the best part was about his audition for (and landing a part in) Bad Boys 2.

    henry shouldnt act.


By semillama on Tuesday, February 4, 2003 - 12:06 pm:

    He'll be the first to admit that he doesn't!
