Puddle of mudd is underrated

boxwine_in_hell

Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, Staind, Creed.....etc, etc.....should all go commit mass suicide for being completely unoriginal and sounding exactly the same. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery these bands are flattering the fuck out of somebody or something. It's Puddle of Puke after I'm subjected to their drivel.

IF any of you had the time to actually listen to come clean than you would realize that they do have some talent. I can't even see why you guys wouldn't like this band since the lead singer sounds SO much like nirvana. True enough life on display wasn't as great an album as i would have liked but damn is come clean rockin

probably the worst band of all time. whos the lead singer? kurt cobain one day, layne stanley the next? no wait, their dead. "so sing just like them, fuckers, it wont offend them"

Toshala

but how do you REALLY feel???

lol.....

I'll 'come clean' and admit to having both their albums but here is the reason why:

Greg Upchurch......they brought him on for the tour AFTER Come Clean was released and he was THE reason we went to see the band 4 times.....they put on a decent show but I never listen to the cds.....and I think Greg is now drumming for 3 Doors Down.....

Durst...........ick..

I'm going to sing real low, have some tired, retreaded metal riffs and call my new band.....Puddle of Dung. Can I count on you all for some venture capital in my new band?

I sure hope your not serious because I would rather drink a puddle of mudd then have to listen to their music.

Puddle of Mudd are ridiculously awful.
They sound like Staind, Nickelcrap and Creed all put together (shudder)
The singer is SOOOOO trying to be Cobain
And the band are hardly original...

Fair enough if you like them, I'm not saying its wrong to, I'm just saying I feel that they are wannabes and bore the shit out of me.

Soundgarden is not just approved, it's on the "You BETTER like this band or get the fuck off our forum" list

puddle of mudd are ok....
I like the song "SPIN"

but if you want a band that has a Kurt type singer...
check out Future Leaders of the World. A great band, that has a singer who sounds very close to Nirvana, and in my opinion is an even better singer then Kurt. If you live puddle of mudd, then this band will blow you away.

Imagine this scenario:

Nirvana is the religion.

Kurt Cobain was jesus.

Nickleback, Seether, Puddle of Mudd etc were his disciples and now sing songs of praise.

Not a perfect analogy, because Jesus chose his disciples deliberately to do his work on earth.

Pearl Jam had nothing to do with these lot, and wouldn't want to take any responsibility for 'inspiring' them.

I had the FLotW CD and it was alright. Then I found out the lead singer was a no talent hack who lip synched because he couldn't sing live at all. As a result the rest of the band left and he's since hired new people and kept the name.

And I agree, the Foos are getting better with every album in my eyes. Forget what cynics think, they are awesome. Puddle of Mudd is not, though. I'd rather listen to Seether, who are a ton better.

haven't read all the post here but I just wanna say... Puddle of Mud sucks!!!!, I've seen them live a couple of times(opening for Deftones once when I didn't even knew who they were at the time, and a free show at a xtreme-sports event) and they were mediocre at best. The singer looked like a really bad Kurt Cobain impersonator.

Please don't blame the bands. They're just trying to eek out a living doing something that they love. It's the fucking suits at the labels that think they know what you want to hear. It's music for the greatest common denominator. It's Mcdonalds.

I don't expect filet mignon from McDonalds, and I don't expect quality music from major labels. Sometimes they release something worthwhile in spite of themselves.

Besides, Greg Upchurch is a friend. He's the only reason I ever listened to PoM. He's a monster drummer, and a great guy.
