Ugly Bands! Rock and Roll has never looked so ugly.

  • heh...funny. Whoever wrote the captions certainly likes the name Jeremy.
  • Holy shit. I'm at no 316 and they keep coming.
  • I gave up at 405 of 668.
  • Yeah, some pretty funny band promo shots in there... I just wish they'd cut it out with the gay jokes and the sexist remarks about female band members. And, no, making fun of people who complain about the gay jokes still doesn't make them funny.
  • Anyone who gave up before 667 is missing out.
  • I found this highly amusing.
  • dude! we killed ilx! some pasty music geeks are gonna kill us! (point of note - i am a pasty music geek lurker)
  • Well, I thought some of them looked very nice.
  • Well, back in the '60's, I preferred the Beatles to the Stones because I thought Jagger and gang were all so homely looking. /By the way, Jagger was here in town last summer for a couple of weeks, staying at Dan Ackroyd's. I actually followed him in traffic twice, thinking he was a look-alike, until I found out he'd just played in Toronto and it was him I was behind. He has a personalised licence plate...MCJAGGER on a big white lincoln with big quad exhausts etc. Guess I should have been tipped off by the 'more than stock-issue car.' He has incredible hands, flicking the cigarrette ashes out the window.
  • "In a town like Wheeling, WV, where wispy facial hair and man-teats were coveted, Battle Axxe were kings among men." heh. snort.
  • I knew if I browsed long enough, I'd find a band I knew personally.... the guy at bottom center used to refer to himself as "Johnny Three Legs", and once used the breathless line "baby, I killed a man" to try and impress a friend of mine he was dating at the time.
  • I just wish they'd cut it out with the gay jokes and the sexist remarks about female band members. You have to take it with a grain of salt.
  • "Train Tracks: The Other Brick Wall" Hee. I've only made it to 126, but I am really surprised I haven't seen an ex-bf yet.
  • I dunno, it kind of feels like if you're at a party and people are joking around, and then someone tells a nasty racist joke... and immediately a nervous silence falls over the room... For the most part, the Hall of Douchebags is pretty hilarious, but every now and then they throw in a caption that just totally makes me stop laughing. I wish they didn't have to go and spoil it like that...
  • Well, I haven't found a caption that resembles a nasty racist joke. It's not like they're strictly singling out anyone--it's all in good fun. I mean, if they were to just continuely say "what a bunch of fucking faggots" over and over and over again for each 'ugly band', then I would get offended as well; that would be unnecessary. But I guess everyone has a different offensive level, so I can see where you're coming from.
