Musicians you would like to take a swing at...

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
James Blunt, :mad: Mind you, he's not as ubiquiteous as he used to be, but he's still bloody insufferable.

Mariah Carey often makes me want to slap her hard.

Gerard Way from Chemical Romance is mildly irritating, as is that dude from Linkin Park. It's just plain embarrassing to hear 30-year-old men playing misunderstood teenagers.

I hate a lot of people, so this might be a long list.

At #1, as he has been for like 20 years, Michael Jackson. I will never understand the love for this marginally talented DANCER who sings like he's having his balls squeezed in a vice. I can't stand all that "hooo", "hee", and "shamon" bullshit. What the fuck is that? It's sad that Prince's brilliance had to take a backseat to this guy in the 80's because one is a genius while the other got lucky working with Quincy Jones. The whitest R&B music imagineable. And I haven't even mentioned his completely disturbing private existence, trapped in some kind of fantasyland arrested development. Not only would I like to take a swing at him, I'd like to put him in a rocket ship and sent him back to the alien planet he came from, where he can no longer pollute the minds (and bodies) of children around the world.

#2 Liam and Noel Gallagher. Does this need an explanation? These guys are probably the biggest assholes in music, who cares if it's an act? You don't wish AIDS on one of your musical peers just because they come from a higher income bracket. I wouldn't punch them myself, but I'd hold them down while Damon Albarn beat them within an inch of their lives.

#3 Bright Eyes. First of all, who names himself after a Shirley Temple movie? What the fuck is that? And I love how Mr. Indie Emo isn't above dating Hollywood starlets like Winona Ryder. This guy has the whiniest, grating, annoying voice in recent memory, I don't give a shit how good of a songwriter he is. Not Dylan, not even close, never will be. Oh yeah, calling your record label Team Love is the lamest thing I've ever heard in my live. Dipshit.

and the rest in no order...

Chris Martin. Seeing this guy with his long hair cut running around the theatre at the Grammy made me wish I was there so I could have dive tackled him and pummeled him senseless in front of his industry peers. Boring, soulless bullshit.

Henry Rollins. Without sounding like some overly-defensive U2 fan, this guy is the biggest hypocrite in the universe, endorsing whatever bullshit product a company pays him to hawk, appearing in shitty films. All guys whose necks are as thick as their heads need a serious beatdown anyway.

Rob Thomas. If I hear that song Smooth again I'm going to go on a murderous rampage. This mainstream whitebread crap drives me up the wall.

Ted Nugent. See someone else's explanation above. Waste of human life, I hope he gets attacked and killed by wild animals and then eaten.

Adam Levine. Just because. You're not Stevie Wonder, dude. Fuck, you're not even Jamiroquai.

Moby. Hey, could you possibly sell the rights to more of your songs? Oh, you can't, because you sold the rights to ALL of them? Whore.

$ting. See above. It hurts to say this, because he's kind of cool, but not as cool as he thinks he is. You're 50, man, lose the mohawk.

Paul McCartney. Sorry, but someone needs to wipe that stupid grin off his face. And he should be punched out just for writing Honey Pie.

Anyone in FallOut Boy, Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, etc.. Shut up, you whiny suburban white boys.

Plain White T's. You know why.

Weiland from STP. What a douchebag. I can have sympathy for heroin addicts, but I always hated this guy, from his Eddie Vedder rip on Plush to his stupid outfits, hair, make up. Has-beens that some people sadly think were actually an important band in the 90's.

I really hate Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and Dave Matthews Band with a passion, but they all seem kind of like nice guys, so I can't say I want to take a shot at any of them. But I'd love to rip that frog out of Dave's throat so he can maybe sing properly.

I could list over 100. I'll try and come up with some new names for the thread.

Melissa Etheridge- I still have echoes of that 9 minute shit-a-thon disguised as a song from the Al Gore concert. Fucking horrible redundant crap on top of all the know-nothing posturing. Okay, maybe she does know something about it but she still needs a kick to the face.

Sean Combs, Jermaine Dupree- A stretch to call them musicians but they set popular hip-hop back a decade a few years ago. Still hasn't really caught up as a whole. Atrocious might begin to describe. Beyond that, they are responsible for unleashing even worseness on their labels.

Toss in greasy ass Kid Rock. Hey Bob, I remember when you was an O.G. back in '92, so you'd have us think, then a rap-rocker in that late 90's shitstorm, then faux-country-Southern rock straight from Motown!!! Now back to sleazing it up. Whitebread ass rock.

Randy Newman. Worst voice ever, annoying songs, pretense, and above all else, unfunny-supposed-to-be-funny and not even unintentionally funny. He doesn't matter but I want it known I'd kick him in the neck.

Kenny Chesney, if this needs explaining, add your name to this list, musician or not.

Jared Leto, if it were a parody, I'd say bravo. Sadly, it's not.

Robin ?? whatever the fuck, the poor mans Justin Timberlake.
Self-encompassing description/insult.

The entirity of the 'Nickelback' brigade, I can't even name all of these bands, the post-post grunge scourge. There is nothing redeeming and will be nothing rememerable about any of these fucking hacks.

Mike Love (Beach Boys)-I'd like to just slap him. See if he still has that concrete smirk on his face.

John Mellencamp- Hey sportsfans, did you know that "this is our country"? Hokey, trite, bullshit bonanza.

Gene Simmons-between cashing all those checks in the bank, I doubt anybody has ever told him how abhorrant he is as a musician. I doubt he considers himself one. Straight up dickwad.

Johnny Reznick, somebody needs to tell him that no matter how many tats or how much leather he wears or what color he dies his hair, he's not punk rock. In fact, he's making Jon Bon Jovi look like Dylan.

I'd also like to cast another vote for Adam Levine.
Christ on a bike, is this guy unbearable or what?

Another vote for Rob Thomas as well. Sheesh.

Those twins from Good Charlotte, the asshole from My Chemical Romance.

The entire band known as All-American Rejects. Manure.

Chris Carraba, however you spell it, we get it you are sensitive.
I'll throat punch you and we will see exactly how sensitive.

The lead singers of AFI, Fall Out Boy and Panic At the Disco.
The band members get a pass for sake of bother.

That wolf-man-thing that sings for Coheed and Cambria.

Pat Monahan? Lead singer of Train. Imagine all of Bono's worst traits amplified by ten and with certainly less quality. Steel-toed boot to the cervix.

in the same vein, that asshole from Five for Fighting.
I hate gimmick singers that don't use their own voice. Ever.

Bret Michaels, For the love of balls, please just go away.

Travis Barker, just because he's soooo 'hardcore'. tats tats tats!!!

Aaron Lewis, you get a special mention outside of the Nickelback brigade scourge. You and that fuck Sully, from Godsmack. You should be struck over the head with Layne Staley's skull on a rope.

Rivers Cuomo. Just for being so completely fucking overrated.
Maybe a light slap across the face with a soiled fisting glove.
 
Some of the people you mentioned in here I don't mind/don't have an opinion on one way or another (I don't really have an opinion on Adam Levine, but I like Maroon 5's music. Please don't hurt me...). Some of them do have their annoying qualities, definitely, but they don't bother me enough to make me want to slap them (or they're people my sister likes, so I'll be nice and refrain from hurting them).

This list, on the other hand...thanks for the reminder:

I'd slap him just for the stupid lyrics to "So Hott" alone. "I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again." Why, Kid Rock, you sweet talker, you...:rolleyes:. Guys who talk like that are such a turn-off to me.

I was starting to wonder if I was the only person who wasn't getting the big hoopla over him. I don't really have a desire to slap him myself, but he really does nothing for me.

"Calling All Angels" alone makes him worthy of this one. If I never hear that song again...

A. Men. Ugh...girls, look who you're fighting over, mmkay?

The mention of Nickelback reminds me-let's throw Hinder in there, too. And because she was just on TV, I'm surprised I haven't seen mention of Courtney Love yet.

Angela
 
bono, and noone else is even close.

allow me to explain.

there's loads of artists out there who suck and deserve a verbal/physical lashing like few others.

but bono WAS cool. that's what hurts. he WAS interesting, and he WAS relevant in terms of music.

now he's an over-exposed politician spewing the same cliche-riddled soundbytes ready for mass-appeal/consumption, and it's spilled into the music, specifically the last album.

he needs to go away for a few years and think about music, if in fact he has any remaining genuine interest in u2 whatsoever.
