Guttermouth are one of the most polarizing modern day punk bands. Any time any news is posted about them on this site, the topic inevitably blows up with plenty of "witty" banter being exchanged back and forth between, on one side fans of the band, and on the other side, pretty much everyone else. People either want to have this band erased from musical memory, or they continue to find their anti-P.C. lyrics and crass stage show entertaining. I am not going to say where I stand on this spectrum, but instead, review what many consider to be their finest album, Friendly People.

Guttermouth fucking rules!!! New school punk usually sucks and Warped Tour is for pansy-ass losers. This is more for fans of early 80s punk sense of humour than boring Anti-Flag sheep mentallity. Guttermouth is fun, fast, catchy, and this album is one of their best. Musical Monkey and Eat Your Face are the best, though. "Bullshit", "Derek", and "Asshole" are the best tunes. This a must have for any true punkers. This is a great punk record. They dont give a shit what anybody thinks. The pro war thing is some funny shit. This score is for Mark starting a huge snowball fight at Boreal in '97. After Pennywise played a perfect but boring show and everyone had enough "shopping" the Vans booths, Guttermouth saves the day and actually does something fun. You are all a bunch of fucks! I was listening to this album back in 96, when most of you were 10 years old. All of the Inbred Rat Fuckers that think they are super COOL punks were still sucking your daddies cocks! This album is totally a staple, i agree with the man below. this score is for mark practicly starting a riot at punk show '95, if you werent there it was great. This album is fucking great! These guys have so much fun on stage and the way this album sounds is perfect cuz they don't take themselves seriously. you use retard in a derogatory way, while you stick up for the homosexuals. what, you like the homo's better than the retards? how do you think they feel? what would ami lawless do? she would be pissed. i bet she sticks up for retards just as much as the homosexuals. after all she is the justifier of humankind. i call things that are gay,gay, because they are gay. my gay freinds don't care and neither do i. the synonomous nature is life. give back the rainbow and will stop calling lame shit gay. if you give such power to words than here, "faggot lesbian gay twink dyke biitch", i hope your now fully enraged and ready to "kill". If you guys and girls dont realize that Guttermouth is just a bunch of dudes having fun then you are probly not a dude that has fun. "Although Guttermouth use the words homo and faggot, they are not used in a homophobic manner." Awsome album, Guttermouth doesn't put them out like this anymore but at any rate, this Album fucking rips. Dude in the cubicle, ditch work today, walk into the first sk8 shop you see and buy yourself a skateboard (look for bigger softer wheels) then go out and ride it all over the place. keep a low profile and stay away from the malls, old ladies and any cops. Don't glare at anyone, just have fun. take your life back. If you live near the beach, buy a surfboard and do the same. I blame nofx for creating the gay (as in lame not homosexual) sound of today. they were the first to play the over harmonized, high pitched, nasal, too melodic, girlie, whining shit that spawned generations of the horrible annoying "punk" music we hear today. Then to top it off nofx sing about carpet and shit. The vandals, that is like Ringo getting 3 guys together and calling it the Beatles while he sings. I like this album because slamming your face on the burning pavement skateboarding while listening to this CD blaring at old ladies and mall cops was what being a 14 year old was all about. Ohhhhh they don't like George Bush. How edgy. All i know is lucky the luckiest donkey is the funniest song ever written. The donkey show in Tiajuanna is an urban legend that every male in southern Cal has heard about growing up so close to T.J.. Somebody had to sing about and it best be Guttermouth. O'LEY!!! Although Guttermouth use the words homo and faggot, they are not used in a homophobic manner. They were used in way that pushes on the hypersensitivity of people who take themselves way to serious. Guttermouth has never said "they hate fags", at least not that I know of. Spazz and Stikky were like a million times funnier than this band ever was. Oh, and they didn't have to resort to the cheap heat generated by being homophobic. They didn't get kicked off the the tour. They left. There's a newish blog about it on their webpage. Did Guttermouth not mention the concept that mabey both partys suck in "party of two"? The only true punk idea during the warp tour. So they get get kicked off the tour for not following the heard of idiots voting for Kerry because Bush sucks. They are both corupt and Guttermouth was the only ones who mentioned it. Nobody got it though. No wonder they sing silly songs, why bother. Score is for lefty, PC , "I'm gonna change the world" punk. Fight War, Not Wars! the only thing worse than guttermouth is the dwarves [i]Score is for Mark Adkins getting arrested in hawaii for dealing pills recently. Idiot.[/i] I think Gorgeous is my favorite Guttermouth album, and Musical Monkey and Friendly People have some of my favortie Guttermouth songs. Score is for Mark Adkins getting arrested in hawaii for dealing pills recently. Idiot. This band gets a 10 as being on one of my "Best Shows Ever" list: One of the best Punk Rock albums of all time. I really like Guttermouth a lot (I am not afraid to admit it). I was just trying to write a fair review of the album. the album is funny 1st off, punk has been bad joke for a long time now. This record is their best, I really like the song about foods of the world- cracks me up every time. If you're gonna go for juvenile punk, you could do a lot worse than this record. Their other records are a lot more uneven- all of the songs here are really good, and a few rise to the level of classic. Do people actually find Guttermouth offensive? I like the dudes who are like, “This what punk is all about, offending people and bands still play this music.” There's not enough thought behind Guttermouth for their songs to actually offend anyone. It's just kind of mundane and banal in its crassness. Meh. Not only the best G-mouth album, but an all time top-10 staple of so-cal punk. wow, so guttermouth is edgy and "offensive" because they use the word faggot and make jokes about having sex with animals? ladies and gentleman, we have the logic of your typical guttermouth fan, forever a 14 year old, with an IQ bordering dangerously close to mentally retarded due to repeated falls off his skateboard. i bet guttermouth is also "dangerous" too! To the two fucking morons: you're both fucking morons. If you weren't aware, you can reach me on AIM, and we can go through it point by point. Umm... to the last two comments... I don't know what you're talking about when it comes to Guttermouth. The lyrics aren't particularly offensive and they're definitely not clever. It's just kind of potty humor that young men like. Don't kid yourselves saying this is dangerous anti-PC punk rock. It's making the easy joke and the music is generally tedious, though there are some good moments. To the guy below: right on. I would have to say that i've just lost all faith in this shitty non-punk website. I will never return. You should change this website to ihatepunk.com or maybe farfrompunknews.org. I got one, how about onlyshittymeaninglessmusicgetsgoodreviews.org. Fuckin jerks. This album is a musical masterpeice. Its a fuckin staple and if you were around in the scene when it came out you would understand that. Its not fuckin Dave Matthew asshole. Its supposed to be everything that it is. Nothing more or less. and there are bands still playing this style of punk and they will be taking back the scene from people like this dickhead. So be fuckin ready for the change. Score is for this album, Guttermouth and any band that sings about killing an obnoxious crying baby with a lethal injection of heroin. classic in my mind. all of gmouths albums rule This is my favourite Guttermouth album. Unpolished and snotty as hell. This is really the only G-mouth album I'd be sad about loosing if my record collection was stolen. score is for "veggicide" Gorgeous will always be my absolute favorite... mantom phaggot any time any news is posted about them on this site, the topic inevitably blows up with plenty of “witty” banter being exchanged back and forth between, on one side fans of the band, and on the other side, pretty much everyone else I wish bands still made albums like this. Seriously, what the hell hapened to good old fashioned skate punk? Oh well, at least we still have Guttermouth. My faith in them was totaly restored with Eat Your Face. This is the best snotty skate-punk album ever recorded. By anyone. Ever. |
