Wow! Found this while I was cleaning out my comp since I was sick today. This was my favorite rant of all times
This is my rant about the VH1 Countdown show "Most Awesomly Bad Metal
Songs" I was brought up with metal and I think the fact that actors and
comedians are commenting on these songs rather than music oriented
people is absolute crap. Here goes, THis is of course, in list form:
(Note: I only got 14 on cause I had written this when I first saw the
show late into it)
14. Britny Fox - Girl School
This is the quinticential cheesy 80s song by a band
that was looking for a gimmick, Sorry boys, You deserve to be on this
list, Statitory rape isn't kewl when your THAT old. ... Creepy..
13.Insane Clown Posse - Tilt-A-Whirl
3 words here... WHAT THE FUCK?!?! This song is not
even close to metal, THe only metal in this song is the metal content
of an actual Tilt-A-Whirl
12.Stars - Hear N' Aide
This pisses me off for the fact this was named the
NUMBER 1 metal momment by VH1, and now its a awesomely BAD song? Number
12 at that? Worse than ICP?! Wow... Just wow...
11.Autograph - Turn Up The Radio
There is no real reason for this to be a bad song,
Its very heavy, and still catchy enough to be mainstream, I liked this
song but I can see how it could make the list... Kind of..
10.Limp Bizkit - My Way
Why is this on the list? If you consider this metal,
You might wanna start looking at every song that Limp Bizkit made after
3 dollar Bill Yal and that could prolly fill this whole list and a half
9.Cinderella - Nobody's Fool
"Metal has alot of rules, Dudes dont ever whine!"
Says the voice over, Yet I didn't see Motley Crue's Home Sweet Home on
the list, You people need a friggen head check.
8.White Lion - Wait
God this song SUCKS! This should have topped the
list... They must have lost their genitalia on this one, The music
sucks, and the lyrics are very grovelly...
7.Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You
Must say, This song isn't really metal... Why put
this supposed "Pop" song on a list with "metal" This is the WORST SHOW
EVER!
6.Stryper - Honestly
I stand corrected, Step aside White Lion, This band
has no penis... Instead they have the power of JESUS! Sorry kidos, Not
in Metal... No such thing as Jesus Metal
5.Winger - Seventeen
Dude... Just plain creepy with the amount of just
plain... Ugh.. When Kip Winger (30 something) is singing about a 17
year old girl... Wrong... Oh! and nothing beats "Shes a magic
mountain!" which is the funniest compliment ever.
4.Poison - Unskinny Bop
Must say, Poison is verge metal at best to begin
with... Most metal heads wont admit to listening to Poison, But ya, If
this is metal, Then it deserves one of the top songs. Cause it is
deffinatly just a formulaic hit.
3.Kiss - Forever
AHHH!!! This song was co written by Michael Bolton!
Deffiantly not realistic, good, or metal. I would expect this out of
slaughter or someone, Not KISS though.
2.Warrant - Cherrie Pie
I loved this song as a kid, Knew what it meant, But
still also knew that it was UNBELIEVEABLY corny, But still a guilty
pleasure of mine. Yup, Cheesy, Maybe it should of been "Shees my Cherry
Cheese Cake?" Damn, That was even more corny, Guess I get #1 =)
1.Europe - The Final Countdown
Crossover success at its best. I like this song
because it's part metal and part progressive/holywood metal, Which is
good music if you have an open mind.
Honorable Mentions:
Rammstien was voted the most awesomely bad non english speaking band...
Come on... There more metal than friggen Loudness (Asian bad metal band)
