Members ScreamCage Posted March 31, 2006 Members Share Posted March 31, 2006 They're a good enough band, but I just don't think that they deserve all that they get. I mean, even Puffy says he's been influenced by them. Avril Lavigne says she's been influenced by them. They're just the popular band to say is awsome. It's like saying Bonham is the greatest drummer of all time because he was in one of the greatest bands of all time. I've never been impressed by Bonham. He's never done anything amazingly radical, and yet he's loved (I tread softly here for the sake of the dead). The Underground are just over-rated. Doesn't mean they're a bad band (although I can't say that I love them). They just don't deserve what they get, and everybody says they like them because they think it seperates them from the pack, but it doesn't, because everybody wants to be unique. It's all bull{censored}, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by amanonfire you just havent heard the right stuff. Probably, but it just bugs me that every body says they're awsome. How can Puffy and Avril Lavigne say they both grew up on the same music? They like "VU" because they know it's a safe band to like, and they'll get a few nods. True, there are the people who like them, but then there are the fake people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
