G. Ratte Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 I guess I'm not way up on pop chart stuff at the moment, but I'm hearing this Puddle of Mudd "She Hates Me" song. Surely this is some mathematically formulated Nirvana clone?! The progression, the dynamics...and most of all the voice. It's ridiculous. G.

Salyphus Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Sounds like a Muddle of Pudd to me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 It's a totally idiotic song, but it's a hell of a lot of fun to play in a club... :) A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Ad Here Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Yes, I laughed at this Nirvana rip off song when I heard it. It's important to remember that the record companies are desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thrashole Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Actually that's a dead-nuts copy of Suicidal tendencies-I saw your mommy(and your mommy's dead) every time I hear it I get pissed.

The Bear Jew Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Doesn't anyone else recognize this song as a sucky cover of L7's "Pretend We're Dead" with a jock version of Kurt Cobain guesting on vocals? What a terrible song. I fucking hate it. Reminds me of the kind of song those horrible date-rapist frat boys from my college classes would like. UGH. Worst song/band ever. . \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtoledo3 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Yes! It IS that L7 song. But the L7 had a much coooler guitar effect to me. Yeah these guys are Nirvana-esque, but I can't help but picture them in some bar playing Winger songs . Want mix/tracking feedback?

The Bear Jew Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Sure... L7 had the cooler guitar effect, cooler lyrics, cooler singer, cooler band. Cooler everything. Puddle of Mudd is terrible. Those guys should be washed away in a massive flood, and everyone in the world should have the memory of their songs erased like something from Men In Black. Awful, awful band. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BNC Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 They seemed to be a really half-assed attempt at something in the area of Nirvana, they are not good enough to be a Nirvana clone. I never really thought about which songs they copy since I can't stand hearing them for nore than a few bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTalking Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I thought it was a remake of the song "Summer Lovin'" from Grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Hepworth Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Yup, they're a half-assed Nirvana attempt by none other than Fred Durst. Figures. Yeah, that song's a copy. No matter how good something is, there will always be someone blasting away on a forum somewhere about how much they hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Knutson Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Yeah, that song sucks. Check out the guitar loop in the verse. Why would you have to loop such a simple song? Maybe because you SUCK!!! That record is definitely manufactured by engineers. However, I do like one of their songs. No, not the "Smack My Ass" song, the [i]other[/i] one; the one he wrote for his son. That one's good. Repetitive, but good. It's called "Blurred" or "Blurry" or something. https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_dont_fret Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Gawd, you folks are really smacking the shiznet outta them....it's my turn, I guess. I really don't like them for the exact same reason...they are a terrible ripoff of Nirvana...even Dave Grohl should be pissed off. I pointed this out to my sister, who originally liked them...she now really doesn't like them...but then again, she doesn't like Nirvana. Anywho, I hope they fall of the face of the Earth, and burn in the flames of a thousand suns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip_dup1 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I don`t mind that `blurry` song too much, it moves along. Even `drift and die` is listenable. But the volume of nirvana rip bands has gotten silly, there`s one out of Florida called social burn that has a catchy single called `down` (even the title sounds like a rip of 311) and marcy playground, which begat seether.

Magpel Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Ooh, I heard Seether on one of the 17 local modern rock stations and practically puked. So earnest, so witless, so utterly unafflicted by a spark of originality or imagination. Man, I'm sure there are good bands out there, even good ones who claim Nirvana as their Beatles, but Seether ain't one of them. As much as I liked Nirvana (quite a lot), I don't think they're as fertile a formative influence as the Beatles. Nirvana is so easily reduced to forumla; It takes someone with the scholarly chops of a Jon Brion, et al., to reduce the Beatles to formula. I feel kind of bad for the Nirvanic legions. They're stuck with the the two-tone dynamics and the agony. Not much room to grow. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanmass Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I thought everything was pretty much a derivitive of the Django Reinhardt... I have been wondering if these guys are the same Puddle of Mudd guys that were banging around KC, MO about 1990-1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
