Their latest release starts out something like this.... "My buddys got a girlfriend and he hates that bitch.... blah blah" What a talented band! Those guys ought to be cleaning dog waste from kennels. They certainly have no business writing music, let alone performing it. What a disgrace!

It's all in good fun. I'm not a fan, but I've given up on being a music god, or all country music after Tammy Wynette and George Jones divorced would NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

uh fuckit... i wrote a disagreement with that post.. and then it vanished... so anyway I love offspring - they are a great band with lots of meaningful songs... gone away for example or self esteeem... both my favs...

mine to. if you don't like it blah blah blah.....

If I had never heard Black Flag, the Dead Kennedys, the Minutemen, etc, etc, I might have liked the offspring. But, I'd rather listen to the real deal. the lead singer in my band blames this on my being old.

wow, another old hardcore. go hard tub 'o' lard.

I used to have that about green day, having grown up in the dc punk scene, early 80s. now i say don't believe the hype (that is green day classifying themselves as punk) and i listen to the shit on its own merits, and it's not so bad. and that little s.o.b. dex (?) from offsping is (a) smart as shit -- something i really dig, and (b) fucking HOT. i'm shallow, but when i was in a band we had a bunch of dumb fun songs, and some thoughtful ones, and everyone liked the dumb ones, and so did we, because sometimes screaming "i want to kill you now" is more fulfilling than trying to fit "patriarchy" into any reasonable metric scheme.

And would you consider the members of Offspring or Green Day to be quality musicians? Maybe I'll try the lyrics thing, ya know? I'll assemble a panel of pre-teens and write some songs chocked full of the words "fuck" and "shit". I'll get a couple of morons who can't play a lick and we'll be home free. We could be heroes! If you'd like to here some good '90s rock, check out Phish. Their musical talent blows my mind.

Yeah or you could go the whole 'manufacture' band deal... i.e Spice Bimbos, early Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan... etc etc etc... as too offspring being quality musicians - does it matter? If you like their music you like their music... and my opinion matters to me, as yours matters to you... I like Offspring cause I can. And i'm not pre teen, I'm 23... and I think more pre teens are interested in those 'boy bands' that get radio play singing those easy to remember lyrics with lots of nananas and counting. Sorry Sem but I've never even heard of Black Flag (thats a type of fly-spray here) and Sheets, I've never heard of Phish either, but that may be cause New Zealand seems to be last on the list of music - and only popular seems to make radio play, altho apparently student radio is quite good... then again you guys have probably never heard of Supergroove or Che Fu or Bic Runga or Dave Dobbyn or Coconut Rough or Split Enz or Crowded House or OMC (although apparently OMC made it to your charts, and Bic is supposedly too - the record company made her make another video for the US market... why? I have no idea.... blah blah rant rant... yawn

My friend's got a girlfriend Man he hates that bitch He tells me every day He says "man I really gotta lose my chick In the worst kind of way" She sits on her ass He works his hands to the bone To give her money every payday But she wants more dinero just to stay at home Well my friend You gotta say I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way Why don't you get a job Say no way, say no way, no way Why don't you get a job I guess all his money, well it isn't enough To keep her bill collectors at bay I guess all his money, well it isn't enough Cause that girl's got expensive taste I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way Why don't you get a job Say no way, say no way, no way Why don't you get a job Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all But hey man free rides just don't come along every day Let me tell you about my other friend now My friend's got a boyfriend, man she hates that dick She tells me every day He wants more dinero just to stay at home Well my friend You gotta say I'm sure this song reaches out to anyone who had a leech for a partner at some stage... my mums ex husband comes to mind... *hehe*

Eh, it's a living. ;)

I'm a HUGE Finn brothers fan, so don't get all toity on me, chica. AND I like Green Day AND I'm 31. As to quality musicianship: bite me, that ain't what it's about or I would really only listen to VH1 music, which of course I like now that I'm old(er). And that's if I was willing to accept that there was any musicianship in rock'n'roll at all. Look, sometimes 3 chords are all you need.

i accidentally wandered into a Phish show during my first week of college back in '89. i hooked up with these folks in this "underground" society (basically a fraternity that got thrown off campus for repeated offenses of possession of controlled substances, hosting unauthorized social events, and admitting women)anyway, i was wandering around campus drinking wine on a head full of acid with these people when i heard something that sounded like a Jimi Hendrix Revival or some shit... i peaked into the place they were playing and saw these white guys bouncing up and down on trampolines with a vacuum cleaner off to the side playing the hottest cover of "Fire" i'd probably ever heard... that shit blew me away.

the dead kenedys had the greatest song titles ever (the songs were pretty good too). and is it me, but doesn't the chorus of the new offspring song sound like Barbie Girl or something similar? I like the dead kenedys AND the spice girls. Does this make me post-modern and "knowing"? Who did the album "songs about fucking" with "kerosene" on it? Was it black flag? I can't remember who I am sometimes.

coworker thinks "songs about fucking" was a big black album. gotta love a job where you can play on the internet and yell across an office, "hey, who did 'songs about fucking'?"

Spirit of the West! Spirit of the West!! Rah rah siss boom bah!! Oh, how I wish I were in Germany right now.

Alright, so you've told me that you enjoy Green Day and Offspring. AND.... I'll tell you that I think you're a bit funny in the lap.

Oh god yes Offspring is pure SHIT! They sound more like Night Ranger than any punk I've ever heard...

I LOVED NIGHT RANGER, YOU PUCKERED RECTUM.

puckered rectum?? that was the greatest thing i've heard all day. thank you, nate. i adore you

Rather redundant though, or at least one hopes.

You like Night Ranger, huh? Let me guess - you also like Journey, Air Supply, REO Speedwagon, Leo Sayer, 38 Special & Peter Frampton??? I guess that's why you like Offspring.

aaaaah, lie down and roll over, twerp

freaking SPIRIT OF THE WEST for pete's sake!

is that R. Budd "Die Like A Fucking Pig" Dwyer of pennsylvania political infamy? i saw you blow your own brains out live on television when you called that press conference to profess your innocence in that whole bribery thing. classy move.

Sheets... funny in the lap??? I think you need to start paying attention to that bit where your name is with what you've posted underneath... you'll notice that no where on here does it say Nate likes Offspring... I've got lots more to say but I'm so tired that I can't think coherently at the moment... I'll be back when I've had sleep

actually, nate is the president of the international Offspring/Night Ranger Fan Club. and at night he moonlights at the San Jose Elk's Club where every tuesday they have Burt Bacharach Appreciation Night. i hear he does a kick-ass cover of "What The World Needs Now (Love Sweet Love)"

heh heh beautiful! Would someone else like to lay out an example of some good '90s music for me?

uh guys... who the hell is night ranger?

Sister Christian.... Oh, the time has cum!

uh, it's actually the international Damn Yankees/Night Ranger fan club. offspring, no. no. Everyone is invited to the Elk's Club tuesday nights. We play a mean version of the "Do you know the way.." drinking game.

I heard that when Peter Frampton played live shows, women would wet their shorts. We're not talkin' lemonade! That's the man who destroyed rock 'n' roll.

Heathen!

Women wetting their shorts IS rock 'n' roll. Sheeeeeesh! Some people...

Hmmmm... I was drunk when I wrote that. Women wetting their shorts - that is cool. I guess that was the only admirable thing about the former Humble Pie waste of airspace. I should have seperated that last post into a couple of paragraphs and elaborated a bit further on why I hate Frampton. Oh well, ya won't get it in this post either, ma' son!

Pavement is good 90's music. at least i think so.

I saw a talk show,some groupie was on spilling the beans about all these rockers she had sex with, she flat out said Peter Frampton had a little pecker,Huey Lewis is packing some major big penis,that,s what she said anyway.

huey lewis's penis. eeew.

WHO THE HELL CARES

Huey

Yeah I heard the same tiredass cunt on TV saying Frampton was the smallest she ever had, so what? Bet he was the cutest. She knew sleeping with him he was probably going to be the skinniest too, but if you dig skinny bodies, he had to have been the ultimate. Who cares about the cock, I could've lost my hands in that hair of his for hours. He was fine looking.
