Well i don't like you whiny cronies. Well I can't stand you sellout phonies. Punching women blindly, putting out mainstream radio friendly pop crap since 1993. Stealing the kids' hard earned money. Funding your extended childhood unkindly. Calling it "punk" and underground. What's that sound? You are the corporations. All your hate is what you became. My rights treaded on by you, all we found the same. Ben your legacy makes me want to puke, ben you make me want to puke ice all over you ;)
I thought "screeching weasel" was slang for VD. My uncle said it once when I was a kid and I never heard it again until I heard of the band. I don't know. I'm Just sayin.
I cant wait to August 17 2010 @ the Gothic Theater in Denver Colorado I will get to see Screeching Weasel live once again. Last time I saw them was @ the House of Blues in Chicago in 2000 it was there first show since 1994. I am glad that I have the privilege of being a fan of screeching Weasel since the mid-90's wish I could of been a fan earlier..
Everyone rips ev eryone off, thats why they are put into categorys or "Genres", you don't listen to disco expecting hip hop. Creative lyrics and riffs are what seperates different bands in their said generes
screeching weasel (depending on what time frame) is like a ramones/go-go's/naked raygun/b-52's rip off....but far better. vapid and ben, when playing together, are greater than the sum of the 2...if you know what i mean. like the pixies for example. they suck when not playing together, but when the four of them play with each other, it's magic. not that the methadones suck, they actually kick ass. am i rambling??
Sorry guys,but let´s accept that early blink was a screeching weasel rip off.Although. now their sound is different due to influences such as the cure and the police.
Futhermore I find amusing that screeching weasel is kind of a Ramones rip off.Just by watching how the dude does the number count down like Dee Dee.
Early blink wasn't a rip-off of SW. Blink, like hundreds of other punk bands had Screeching weasel as one of their big influences, thus why they cover "girl next door", Blink just happened to hit it big and sold out (& their records became progressively worse) Tom & Mark actually have really good music taste if you've ever seen an interview with them in it. Oh, and Screeching weasel was not a Ramones rip off as some think. Look it up, it's talked about in countless documentaries and interviews.
I would't say I was arguing, I was simply stating something.
Some people like you just straight up like listening to music no matter what. And I respect that.
Others, like myself, enjoy learning about the bands we love. And you should respect that, there's no reason to call me a "punk purist prick" just because I know my shit, especially since I wasn't talking down to or insulting anyone.
progressively worse is a subjective term. objectively their music just became less and less punk...
and selling out? wtf is that? they wrote different music and sold alot of records. punk gets boring to play for 15 years straight, and once a band gets better at their instruments you start doing different more complicated things with them.
@mapleleafedge I suppose that is fair, but I do think that Blinks music truly got worse. I'm not saying that I think they got worse because the changed, of course it gets boring to play the same stuff over and over, but I think they got worse because instead of really growing and doing something musically progressive or original, they did the same things that every other commercially available band was doing. not saying you're wrong, that's just my opinion.
@TheOrangeLemon why do you throw the term 'Sold out' about when you clearly have no idea what it means. They played music they enjoy thats not selling out the fact that each album was a change shows that they kept growing and the transaction for late 90's blink to the enema of the state stuff was natural, why would then then release self titled album which was a complete change to the last 2 very successful ones if all they wanted was money ?
