Terrible. I'll be a happy camper if I never hear them again. What's happened to music?

    I don't think its a symptom of music today, but they were terrible. Shame, I kinda like some of their recorded stuff.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I thought it was one of the worst SNL performances I'd seen ever - and that was before they brought out Kenny G.

    Sorely disappointed in the Stefon skit last night. He's usually so money. But FTP = horrendous. I guess a group of frat guys newly introduced to music instruments can get gigs on SNL nowadays.

    Wasn't that already reflected in their music though?

    I am happy to see that other people here think this music is terrible. I am into a lot of new bands today who should be getting attention instead of these hacks.

    I agree with everybody here. Awful band. They were bad enough during the first song, but when they brought out Kenny G. for the 2nd one, I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    :lol:
    Opened this thread to get an insight as to what people saw in this band...at least I don't have to bite my tongue.
    You've gotta have some balls to bring Kenny G onstage with your 'rock' band....
    I've never seen anyone rock out like the dude with the maracas....if you're that desperate to seem intense...why not write music with some intensity? So false. I was almost embarassed for them.

    That.....was a disgusting display of showmanship. I started laughing my ass off as soon as I saw him headbanging with his maraca. Kenny G was the icing on the cake.

    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.
