I just saw a new 311 video, and it makes me sad. First thing, they used to kick ass, and I'm talking before "down," and that other song hit big. Its ponderous to see the shit they trot out there now and to think that I liked them a lot a while ago. Its sad when a band "sells out" or takes their sound "commercial" only to be much worse off a few years afterwards. Can you guys think of any other groups that have done this, and that disapointed you for it?

This was one of the hardest heaviest songs I'd heard at the time.

MEAN MACHINE - SUGAR RAY

The only good thing that's creppin' in the city
Elvis had a 55, this one's mine
Japanese car, man it's such a pity
AM radio suits me fine
Mean Machine (2X)
My daddy said son, you don't drive when you're drinkin'
Mean Machine (2X)
Brakes good, tires fair
Burn it!
Every now and then I drive just to get away
I'm eatin' up 2 lanes, I gotta find Sugar Ray
Can't stop now, gimme all your money
Sometimes I drive slow, sometimes I drive quick
Mean Machine (2X)
My daddy said son, you don't drive when you're drinkin'
Mean Machine (2X)
My daddy said son, you don't drive when you're drinkin'
Power it up (2X)
Don't you dare mess with my mean machine
It's long and slick and olive green... (3X)
A '68 Coupe is all I need
So don't you dare mess with my mean machine
Jesus saves, no he shoots and scores
I'm with stupid, caught my finger in the door
I'm looking for love like Revenge of the Nerds
Butt my ass, now ya' play on words...
Mean Machine (2X)
My daddy said son, you don't drive when you're drinkin'

To a devoted fan that was around before they sold out.......yeah you can say they are worse off. But when you think about it from the bands perspective, selling out and playing songs that are radio friendly and will spread there fanbase out doesn't sound like such a bad idea. You gotta think of it this way, if you had the opportunity to go from playing shows for maybe 100 people and pulling in a few bucks from it to playing shows for thousands of people and making a shitload from that and record sales, would you do it? Hell, if I had the opportunity I would jump on it without even thinking about it. But I wouldn't change my style so drastically.

If you think that, you have NO idea what punk is. I bet
you think Green Day is punk. If you heard real punk your
head would explode. Chalk this one up to being born
into the MTV generation, like I was, but I was smart
enough to see what they tell you on TV isn't always the
truth. Want REAL punk, flbdingdong? Try the Dead
Kennedys. Or if you can find some, try GG Alin. Heh heh.

GG was one twisted fuck. But the Kennedys are one of my fav bands just amazing. Why not try Black Flag, Fear, Husker Du, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, the Misfits, Fugazi, practically any Ian Mackaye band, Bad Religion, Germs, Reagan Youth, the list goes on.

There you go, AM. I was just giving the little
MTVer an example of what punk REALLY is. I'm glad
you threw Black Flag and the Misfits in there. I
have heard Danzig gets pissed if he sees any
Misfits stuff at his shows, like T-shirts and what
not. Have you seen the GG Alin video Hated?
GodDAMN what a sick fucker. I don't think there
has ever been anyone in the history of music who
could top that crazy mf.

I agree with you both. GG is the best. No won can touch that motherfucker he was crazy. How cool is it when he just runs around punch people at his shows. Thats fuckin punk rock to the bone. Black flag, Misfits, and Circle Jerks = punk gods.

I disagree with windowlck and corpse with their Fear Factory and Machine Head suggestions. I thought both CDs kicked serious ass even with the light crap thrown in. I do agree with everyone else about Bink 182, new Megadeth, and Sugar Ray. You also have to think of Limp Bizkit, who used to be so good until Significant Other came out.

Canthandlemybooty - I just wanted to let you know that some guy calling himself adolescentmasturbator just stole my drivers license. If he approaches you claiming to be Mark McGrath, please do not fall for it, he is not who he claims to be.

By the way, I like your new sig pic, very nice.

Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco 20 years ago and got about 4% of the vote causing a runoff.

Amen to that, but even more bands to try are Nofx, Pennywise, and Rancid.
