I guess they're sick of doing covers cause they've been playing the same two dozen songs they wrote over a decade ago every night.

That makes no fucking sense. Sometimes you're funny when you don't make sense, but this one was just awful. You lost your way 4 years ago. I'd love for you to do some covers of those comments.

You sound kinda like a fan boy to me. I agree with mattramone because this group is just milking what they had in the 90's back when epitaph actually put on punk bands. Before they even announced their reunion I remember when I wasted 25$ on the refused are fucking dead dvd. After I saw refused are fucking dead I realized that the people in this band are just a bunch of fucking phoneys that couldn't take a little shit when they came touring america. I was a huge fan of refused at the time too and that's just how I saw it. I mean seriously listen to those phoney lyrics "I've got a bone to pick with capilatism and a few to break" so that means we're going to go on jimmy fallon and play, then talk turkey with the funny man, get our nice fucking check then go on to play a multitude of other festivals that are grossing 60.3 Million$ (like coachella). Don't even tell me that dennis isn't getting a new car because of all this. Those fuckers have made too much money off of their music recently to be shit talking capitalism at all. But seriously this band is old news. They should write some new songs and maybe I would respect them more. Maybe it wouldn't seem to me like refused are just a group of money hungry swedes milking their music like a cow if they had come out with a new ep or something then did all this reunion bukkake. So in my opinion Refusedareafuckingjokenotdead.

I assume he means, "I guess they're doing covers because they're sick of playing the same two dozen songs they wrote over a decade ago every night."

I'd say it's just as much "Refused, latching on to any shred of credibility they can get."

I don't know about you guys, but this just sounds like Korn to me.

Sounds like Slipknot to me.

its basically a Limp Biskit song you guys.

Next time you're at a party with hardcore people, say "Limp Bizkit is probably the best hardcore band of all time", and enjoy.

droneclone (July 20, 2012)

Actually you guys, these songs were covers that preceded Korn and Slipknot

They remind me more of Whitesnake or Winger.

Report

Mystereohasmono (July 20, 2012)

Was this Whitesnake post-Snakebite or pre-Snakebite when 1/4 of the band was playing with reggae in Cobrahunter?

Report

droneclone (July 20, 2012)

Post-Snakebite for sure. But I really meant White Lion. I sometimes get them confused. I don't want to upset all the Whitesnake fans here.

Also, that one riff in the Cro-Mags song reminds me of a Stryper song.

I'm trying to think of a similar comparison that won't set your indignant fanboy alarms off quite so blindly. Deftones? Soulfly?

I like Refused, ie, Shape of Punk to Come because there other music was garbage. But you are totally correct.
