Ben Cook (F*cked Up, Young Guv) battles Jonas Brother

Posted by aubin on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 6:30 PM (EDT)

In perhaps one of the more unusual pairings in recent memory, Ben Cook of Fucked Up and Young Governor engaged in a drum-off with Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers as part of Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, the latest tween film centred around the Disney pop trio. Cook says only this "extra work can be very funny." The film was shot in Toronto, Ontario which Cook calls home.

The film was released on DVD today if that's something you're into.

I just asked myself the same question.

doubleb50 (September 7, 2010)

cause the jonas brothers are totally punk......

nick_k (September 8, 2010)

You didn't hear about them signing to Fat?

robotbob (September 8, 2010)

I would think they would be more an Epitaph band. They can go on tour with Weezer.

hey_ska (September 7, 2010)

Yep.

Most DIY band doing it.

no, that's Brokenycyde - the band a guy Fucked Up interviewed. Fucked Up, themselves, aren't the most DIY band doing it.

I've always wondered about legit musicians who do things like this (like that one Jonnas brothers back up band which is entirely black dudes in their late 30's). Do people worry about helping generate this crap or are they just happy to get a pay check? I mean, it's harmless kid fun, not like they played the marching band at the Glen Beck rally or anything.

Somebody told me that the bassist for At The Gates did bass for N*SYNC or Backstreet Boys.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (September 8, 2010)

It is true. But then again, most of the swedish producers who did all that stuff were ex-members of metal bands, including bands of that ilk. Hell, even the Video Director Jonas Akerlund who has done a buttload of "controversial" videos for popstars (most recently including Lady Gaga) the last ten years started out doing black metal, corpse paint in the forrest type videos.

dreaminstereo (September 7, 2010)

Pays the bills I guess. You don't get anywhere with your own band, become backing for one of these things.

mill83 (September 7, 2010)

I was lead tuba at that rally, thank you very much.

Who knows. This IS from the same band that thinks Brokencyde is legit, so I'm not reading much into it.

scientistrock (September 7, 2010)

This is a little different though. It seems like he was an extra in the movie.

dreaminstereo (September 7, 2010)

Well, when you think about it, the Jonas Brothers are a pretty big part of teen culture these days. Why not get in on that? You never know, that drum battle might be one tween's gateway into Fucked Up.

Dante3000 (rich) (September 7, 2010)

Yeah, but it's being a part of a Disney movie. Again, I don't think it's a bad thing but it's just about using your skills to make a bit of money doing something outside of what you're known for.

istapledmyfoot (September 7, 2010)

yeah dude, paycheck. if you were at all interested in being a career musician, a steady paycheck from disney would be amazing.

hiimarlon (September 7, 2010)

i know the guy who plays saxophone in their band.

nick_s (September 8, 2010)

I guess it's down to the situation you're in. Didn't one of the dudes from Grade go on to play guitar for Avril Lavigne?

rebelarms (September 8, 2010)

some of the guys from closet monster used to have sex with her and occasionally play in her live band

givemeamuseumandillfillit (September 8, 2010)

It's just for the paycheck. However, this guy is the singer from No Warning, right? I remember people chalking them getting signed up to the fact that he was a child actor or something like that.. He has probably been doing stuff like this all his life.

Deadpan (September 7, 2010)

I still think taking a paycheck from Rupert Murdoch is funnier. But not funny haha.

BipedCasserole (September 7, 2010)

I honestly couldn't tell which drummer was a Jonas. Either way, Cook probably thinks this is the funniest damn thing that's ever happened to him. So would I. Propers!

istapledmyfoot (September 7, 2010)

lol at the video of them drumming not even coming close to synching with the audio - aren't these two men actual drummers?

Yeah because... you know... it isn't the guy that uploaded this on the computer's fault at all...

FaithIsForFools (September 7, 2010)

HAHA! This, along with the Brokencyde bullshit, is further proof that Fucked Up are a wretched shit-stain on music.
Fuck 'em, and, obviously, the Jonas turds.

apparently posting on the internet is for fools as well.

Thepopeofchili-town (September 7, 2010)

Neither of those things has anything to do with Fucked Up's music.

regulartrite (September 7, 2010)

You really are stupid, aren't you?

LogicIsForLosers (September 7, 2010)

Oh shit you must be my rival on this site.

p_fluff (September 7, 2010)

jonas brothers are the punkest dudes around.

LooseKanonYankee (September 7, 2010)

i think it would be the coolest and funniest thing ever if the jonas brothers put out a exclusively lifetime influenced record next.
like if they played this shit to make enough money, and now that they have they can go back to the music they love

swank (September 7, 2010)

"Extra work" is downplaying it. It's not that big a stretch. The dude was a child actor. He was on Goosebumps episodes and a film version of "Little Men" amongst other things.
