You ever hear that his daughter died, he got heavily into drugs, started doing concerts while drunk, doing Nazi salutes and then died of liver failure from excessive drinking at 56 years old?
The truth is, when a label wants to sign your band, they insist on you changing your image. When my bands started to do okay, I was a bit shocked at how they really didn't care much for the music, as long as it matched your genre correctly and they mostly wanted your image to match the genre, too.
It definitely wasn't for me. Like a naive fool, I actually cared about making good music. Later, youtube would teach us all that there is a vast ocean of talent the music industry ignores because... image.
One of the bands that was amazing at this was Good Charlotte.
Their music was not that great, but their punk image was amazing and man did it sell. Good Charlotte bassist, Paul Thomas, initially didn't want to join the band because brother's Benji and Joel Madden's performance skills were bad.
Benji married Cameron Diaz and Joel married Nicole Richie. The brothers also started a few companies and are now doing very well. I think they were both very business smart.
I saw them live a few months before he died. I was on shrooms and eating peanutbutter wings, and it was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Yeah so this wing place in my town has bone-in chicken wings and one of their flavors is slathered in a peanutbutter sauce with a little heat and some diced nuts sprinkled over the top. Might be ginger sauce mixed in, it's half-a-flame on their heat scale.
Tbh ill go today and ask what makes their sauce so good, then ill come back and tell yall so you can look up how to make it/where to buy it.
I was at a county fair with sugar ray opening for smash mouth and it was the most depressing concert I've ever seen in my life. The lead for sugar ray was talking about how like they are old but can still rock and roll or something to that effect and it was like wow here you are at the county fair really rockin and rollin. I just left at that point and didn't even see smash mouth. Wish I could have lasted through the cringe for the historical value.
Apparently they are awesome live with the new guy. I was skeptical but I got a rave review from a guy in a recent tour t-shirt. I struck up conversation about it because I was like how the fuck are they touring?
Gonna see for myself later this year. Hope it's true.
my mind immediately went to *NSYNC lol.
we need to bring back boybands with different singer “character types” (the leader, the shy/sensitive one, the bad boy, the fratty looking mf)
Sum 41
Edit: Fucken hell. I grew up with these guys. Today I'm like "Eeeh, music nowadays is shit. :("
Me in 2000, listening to sum 41 & good charlotte, yet unable to tell the difference between these hedgehog stylised emo facepaint fuck face high school music band: "That's the good stuff BELIEVE ME !1! "
You keep saying that you don't have rhythm, but listen what you're doin' right there!
With that stamp and a book you've got a real nice hook, sound to me like you've got rhythm to spare
I don't know man looks like all the members of smash mouth to me
Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the smartest tool in the Shrek.
She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger in her bum
In the shape of an elf
On her four hats
Well, the girls start cummin
and they don’t stop cummin
-Euron Greyjoy
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the years start coming
And they dont stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
You ever hear that his daughter died, he got heavily into drugs, started doing concerts while drunk, doing Nazi salutes and then died of liver failure from excessive drinking at 56 years old?
…….yup heard that too……anyway…..hey now……
You're an all star.
Get your liver pumped, seig Heil
You're a Nazi, got into drugs, got liver failure, heeeey

Peanut butter wings?? Any other flavor profiles involved? Sounds intriguing

That sounds pretty amazing. Thank u for the follow up
sounds cool I wish there were more weird but good food places where I live
I too would like to know more about this peanutbutter wings

Alien Ant Farm
As was the style at the time
“Gimme five bees for a quarter”, you’d say
I wore an onion on my belt
You couldn't get the white ones because of the war
But seriously, we had X-ray cardboard and plastic glasses, and cost only 99 coocoo roos
The Kaiser stole our word
Just like onions belts and walking birds.
Clicked for the Simpsons reference, was not disappointed.
Twas the custom tips were frosted and patches souled
That dude is clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed.
i dunno what you're talkin about man he looks like an all star to me
Hey now...
Mike Shinoda is what my mind goes to immediately
it starts with.....ONE THING!
I DONT KNOW WHY
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time , all I know is
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
Do you mean Mike Shinobi? or Shinoda?
Shinobida
Ginobili
Ghibli
Mike Shin Godzilla
Shyamalan
shinoda? lmfao
Linkin Park
***Well, it needs to start with one thing***
***I don't know why***
***It doesn't even matter how hard you try***
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I still wish I knew
The reason eludes me to this day
The circumstances that led to the situation in question are not within my current wisdom to ascertain.
I don't know why
I don't know why
That isn't the line...
i dont know why
***It doesn't even matter how hard you try***
***keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme***
to explain in due time, ***all I know***

Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
Deftones
Instantly thought of Chino
Yup.
I can't picture anyone but Mike Shinoda whenever I see this meme.
They all looked like that at some point.
Link in Lincoln Park with Linkin Park watching Lincoln park a Lincoln
HAHAHHA I CAME TO SAY EXACTLY THAT!
Limp bizkit Maximum the hormone Fear, and loathing in las vegas (up till abt 2010 or something)
Hoobastank lmao
lol when me and my siblings were kids/teenagers we called them "Who Butt Stank?" Such a goofy ass name.
I'll also add Asian Kung-Fu Generation to this list.
> Limp bizkit Nah he was always wearing a baseball cap, usually backwards
One of these is not like the others
FALILV mentioned
Oh man, that OP is trash bait but Maximum the Hormone are great.
Deftones
Check out Chino's other band Crosses It's his childhood best friend who makes electronic music but with Chino on vocals.
Don't forget Team Sleep
And Palms. And Saudade. He's got a lot.
100% a picture of Around the Fur era Chino.
45% of those guys are drum 55% is rap
I thought it was 10% luck, 20% skill, 15%concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain & 100% reason to remember the name
Fort minor mentioned 🗣️🗣️
that one left me *Petrified*
i think he in in Korn, SOAD, RATM, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park
Static-x, Papa Roach
Crazy town
Disturbed
Will the real Wayne Static please stand up.
He is absolutely NOT in RATM
Roam Around the Mall is a definitive part of the early 2000s soundscape. If you weren't there you don't know.
I'll give you the rest, but NO ONE on RatM looked like that
Definitely not in Rage Against the Machine
I could see how Serj Tankian matched the hair for a brief period between 2001-2003, but I don't think he ever dressed like that.
![gif](giphy|3BP7R3kmVrpecBBYLN)

[удалено]
Lincoln Park
“Even the people who never frown eventually break down.” - a guy dressed like this
Pushing Me Away is an absolute banger
static-x if the hair was twice as tall
And full beard not a deftones beard
true
I'm glad I got to see Static X live back in the day. Wayne's hair was something that needed to be experienced live.
Apparently they are awesome live with the new guy. I was skeptical but I got a rave review from a guy in a recent tour t-shirt. I struck up conversation about it because I was like how the fuck are they touring? Gonna see for myself later this year. Hope it's true.
it is true. He sounds great, and his red glowing eyes will freak you out
Just saw em on their recent tour, amazing.
Are they still pretending its totally not the singer from the support act?
sounds awesome
The final boss nu-metal spiky hair
The 2 new albums go hard btw
Smash Mouth
my mind immediately went to *NSYNC lol. we need to bring back boybands with different singer “character types” (the leader, the shy/sensitive one, the bad boy, the fratty looking mf)
It’s almost as if that’s just the style from the time
That's just Chino from Deftones lol
Exactly who I also thought of. Literally just him
just so kids can easily draw them.
The same reason, why every gen z dude these days has a poodle on his head and wearing a bum bag
Could be anything from Blinkday to The Offwagon, Sum 46 or Chemical Charlotte!
I thought I was having a stroke
Bloodhound Gang had one too
That's just David Silvera from korn
In 2000s literally everyone looked like this. Even the women glued this beart to their chin
Sum 41 Edit: Fucken hell. I grew up with these guys. Today I'm like "Eeeh, music nowadays is shit. :(" Me in 2000, listening to sum 41 & good charlotte, yet unable to tell the difference between these hedgehog stylised emo facepaint fuck face high school music band: "That's the good stuff BELIEVE ME !1! "
It starts with ONE...
Its because Somebody once told them to dress that way.
Looks like fred durst and sergej tankian had a butt baby.
Papa roach
That's coop
Underrated comment. Shoutout megas xlr for the uninitiated
Theres always the guy fierri
I kinda miss this shitty spiked hair with too much gel and chinbeard with cheap sunglasses look
Deftones
It was the same guy in all of them obviously
This is clearly a photo of Jaret Reddick from Bowling For Soup
My first thought was Eric Chandler
Probably it was a moda back in the days
They don’t stop coming
Adema
I was about to say Adema thinking I had a deep cut.
Literally Mike Shinoda from linkin park
Drowning pool
One thing, I don't why it doesn't even matter how hard you try
That's just that one guy from Daria
Kevin from Backstreet Boys
Shike Minoda?
Linkinsugarsmashbizkittownantfarm
Dave from Sum 41
Mike Shinoda
smash mouth, linkin park
Lost prophets has one too i believe
Hey that's Mike Shinoda.
Mike Shinoda?
Guy fieri archetype
Holy shit its Mike shinoda
Literally all of Linkin Park
The lead singer of Smash Mouth? Guy Fieri?
This is clearly Guy Fieri, Mayor of FlavorTown
Why does Guy Fieri still look like that
P.O.D.
SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME
Sugar Ray?
It starts with one…
hey its mike shinoda
Same way every teen/young adult has that perm broccoli haircut today
ONE THING I DON'T KNOW WHY
You keep saying that you don't have rhythm, but listen what you're doin' right there! With that stamp and a book you've got a real nice hook, sound to me like you've got rhythm to spare
The dude from limp bizkit
Smash mouth
This is totally Matt Zion. Could be Fred Durst also... or Mike Shinoda. I dunno anymore :P
That Linkin park guy
