Leeroy Stagger and co.
Please get the fuck off my tv, radio and newspaper. You suck in every sense of the word and have ruined my day on many an occasion. I could go on, but I won't.
Anyone else? - Thu, 17 Feb 2005 9:33pm

ok, I could start listing off all the pop stars (Brittney Spears, Hillary Duff, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake etc), but we ALL know they suck. Instead I'll mention those bands that others might disagree with, but bother me all the same.

Ok here we go...

THE WHITE STRIPES - How can "music" like this sell records?!

MODEST MOUSE - This indie rock shit was cute for about 2 songs, then it just got stupid.

THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS - I can't imagine anyone who finds their singers voice pleasing to the ear.

SAM ROBERTS - What a waste of space.

THE TRAGICALLY HIP - I know they have a lot of fans, and I know they are fairly decent musicians, but for some reason their sound really annoys me. Nothing personal.

NUCLEAR ASSAULT - Worst thrash band I've ever heard. I bought a video of theirs from Wal-Mart, just on the fact that they were metal and the video was only 2 bucks...I want my two bucks and 100 minutes of my life back.

BOY - I'm sure they're nice guys, I know Maury Kaufman personally, but I'm sorry, theres nothing worse than a Sam Roberts ripoff.

LIMP BISCUIT - Hmm...maybe if I start wearing colored contact lenses people will think I'm a good guitarist too. And Fred Dirst is a whiny bitch who needs to shut the fuck up.

LINKIN PARK - Their songs are always fun to teach to my students...all two powerchords.

METALLICA - Back in the day they were awesome, but anyone whose heard the St. Anger album won't dispute them being on this list.

I definately hate the White Stripes - get a fucking bass player dumb ass.
I do however, like LimpBizkit, slipknot,linken park, metallica (well maybe not as much since I seen their pansy asses whining and shit on their movie).
It seems that once something hits mainstream audiences think its uncool or something. As long as the music gets some sort of emotion going like crying or kicking someones ass then its good music to me. I can usually appreciate musicianship even if I don't like the music but I can not even find that in the whitestripes. But thats just me. Cheerio Lucius - Fri, 18 Feb 2005 11:37am

Hello Jaron!!!
I've always hated the Tragically Hip and agree with your statement `100%.

Yer all gonna hate me for this but I really dig on most of the Whites Stripes stuff. I don't care that they got no bass.
I think Lucius may be my arch enemy musically.
I'm sorry, but Metallica has been smokin cack since the black album. Who told them they could cut their hair?

What about Tricky and Shaggy? They make me want to scream. - Fri, 18 Feb 2005 1:02pm

I'd heard the name Leroy Stagger around town but hadn't heard anything from him 'til MuchMusic did that show at Centennial Square and were playing local video's on their "Much Does Victoria" show and they aired his video from the Hair shop on Johnson street. Might work for some people but it sounded more like lame pop than anything remotely punk. - Fri, 18 Feb 2005 5:20pm

OK, forgot some other bands that aren't worth a fuck...

THE FLAMING LIPS - Stupid bad hippi music with a singer who couldnt carry a tune in a backpack! And is the stage show these idiots put on supposed to make sense?!

KING DIAMOND - I respect everything he's done musically, and everything he's done for metal. I tried SO hard to like his music, I really did. But everytime I hear him sing, I just burst out laughing at how bad it is. The man parades around in spandex pants and a top hat! Anyone whose seen the music video for "No presents for X-Mas" knows what I'm talking about.

CREED - Jesus is dead. Christian rock sucks. Get over it.

BIGDUMBFACE - Wes Borlands one chance to prove his talent by stepping out of Limp Triscuit and making a solo CD. Surpise, surprise...no talent found.

JOY DIVISION - They'd be alright if they got someone who, i don't know...could actually sing maybe?

MATCHBOX 20 - Stupid trendy shit. Bands whose names consist of a word and a number are a dime a dozen...(Matchbox 20, Sum 41, Blink 182, Finger 11, etc)

EVERCLEAR - Ya, shut up, they suck.

how come people only start to hate local bands when they get more popular?
this is a running theme in this community.
if you like him or not, Leeroy is possessed with sheer determination and works hard at what he does

if you want what he has then stop smoking weed and get out and play music. - Fri, 18 Feb 2005 8:35pm

i love how its always the anonymous guys who make the comment everyone else is afraid to make, so really, listen leeroy isn't the world's best musician but he's got balls and i've always loved the key of g, so i think its great he's on monday and check 6 and whatever else, who cares? i don't know him personally so i can't comment on his suckdom or lack thereof, but i have to disagree about boy being a sam roberts ripoff. i don't exactly love or hate their stuff but they're not like sr at all, except for the hair. - Sat, 19 Feb 2005 12:08am

i really gotta say that i think pretty much anything on Epitaph (sans Converge and maybe the Locust) can fuck off.

Yo even though i dont like most rap, bad rap that isnt actually good (snoop dogg) is alot more fun then bad rock. Cuz like alot of these guys are just radiculous. Bad rock actually makes me want to die, GOOD CHARLOTTE, worst band ever, like offensively bad. If you play pop punk, juust admit it, like simple plan know they play simple pop, why can't Good Charlotte admit there bad. Other hates include: Montley Crue, NOFX and Alexisonfire. The Rolling Stones are the most overrated band ever. - Sat, 19 Feb 2005 2:59pm

Yes the rolling stones are overrated, but they sure as tit dont suck. There is a 14% chance i would fight you to defend their non-sucking.

I have to disagree with most of you on most of these:

The Stones, holy fuck, have you ever listened to the stones?

The Hip are also a great band, thoughtful guitar work and innovative bass lines and very highh strung vocals.

The stripes, okay yeah they suck

Boy, the REALLY lick ass

Sam Roberts, the leader of the mod rock phase, king of licking ass

Metallica, if you really think they suck throw away your kill em all album, I dare ya - Sun, 20 Feb 2005 8:28am

Stones - one of the all time best rythm players fronted by one of the all time charismatic front men. No suck.

The Hip - have written some terrible songs/have written some great songs - very creative, innovative and well researched lyrically.

Metallica - were great in their day when they were full of angst. Now they've become rich babies with massive ego's.

Someone was slagging Modest Mouse - I think their stuff is cool and pretty catchy.

Moby picks my ass. - Sun, 20 Feb 2005 9:14am

I'm not going to deny that Mr Stagger has a damn fine ego and a heck of a lot of determination, especially for someone his age. What I AM saying, however, is this:
His MUSIC (the point, above all) is absolutely terrible. I've seen him play many times and have enjoyed his fake rock star attitude and danced along to his silly songs. But anyone who has seen him or heard him has to admit that he can't sing and is blatantly ripping off Ryan Adams. I just don't think the local media should get his hopes up for a big career in music, that's all.

sorry but major labels don't care about songs...the want something marketable...like a rockstar kind a guy...Leeroy if anything receives an A+ for his self marketing...he knows what will get him signed and is comfortable being that....also when some one like Ryan Adams achieves a decent level of success, the first thing a label does is says go find some people like Ryan adams....there is Music...there is Music there is the music business.....they are not the same thing. - Sun, 20 Feb 2005 8:09pm

Wow I see no point in hacking down pop bands. The original point to this thread "I Hate Leeroy Stagger" somehow manifested itself into "OmG I ToTalLy hAte MucH MUZIXKKKKKKK bAnDs". Just don't listen to it. It's popular yes, but, of course, they are a dime a dozen and will be gone soon. Page long tirades and critical analysis on why a band sucks is just a waste of time. We all know they suck, no need to ellaborate. - Mon, 21 Feb 2005 2:17pm
