BLIND DATE
Holy shit, people are still trying to make money from this style of music? I’ll be damned! Well, I’d be more surprised if they actually made money from it. Take it from me, this shit gets old, this super-nostalgic 80’s hair band bullshit, it gets old REAL quick. This is another band, like
BONED, that sounds as if they broke into the vault of their favorite bands and took all the rejected songs and stole them for their own. But the problem is that if these songs are so bad that the already washed up 80’s hair band people wouldn’t put them out, why would some new band try them? These guys might have been big in their local area in San Antonio way back more than a decade ago, but there is no excuse to keep playing crap like this. You know who else used to play music like this? POISON, and look at where Mr. Bret Michaels is now, that’s right, hosting
Nashville Star. He’s gotta help co-host a crappy
American Idol imitation just to keep his face (which is covered with more and more make-up every time I see him) in some kind of media. Maybe these guys will eventually learn how to write modern sounding music, it’s not a technical ability problem because the band can play. These guys might not be as good as some of today’s guitar players or vocalists, but if they knew how to write anything other than crappy 80’s era cock rock they might stand a better chance at a rating higher than 1.
(I was all set to blast Rob for being too negative to a bunch of guys who might have had something going 'back in the day'...but then I realized after visiting their official website that they're STILL playing this stuff....oofah. Rob's right. Hang it up - SC)
