The Aquabats are Seriously the Best Band in the World

  • I just find it very irritating when things resize my browser window without first warning me, submitting a written request in triplicate and paying the fee. For this reason I have arbitrarily decided that the Aquabats are my natural enemies until I forget about it or find some other thing to annoy me.
  • Yeah, I like how it says there are all these cool web-only mp3 downloads, but then there aren't any.
  • /shares Chy's annoyance
  • The downloads were there the last time I looked, which was after my hard drive with the music was fried in a lightning strike last month. I recommend their cover of Devo's Love Without Anger.
  • The Aquabats. Mormon Gwar. What Gwar would be if you took out all the profanity and danger, and replaced it with Disney. Amusing? Sometimes. But they play watered down and Disneyfied ska-punk. It is great for little kids.
  • GWAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!! Sorry.
  • Chyren - Yeah, should've posted a warning. ozymandias - I disagree. Some of the songs are kind of subversive, like Chemical Bomb and Radiation Song. Quite a few of the songs are silly, but I kind of like a band that doesn't take itself so seriously all the time. Kimberly - I was quoting a T-shirt. It's irony.
  • cog_nate, it's not your fault. You don't have to apologise. So I won't hold it against you once I find you and impale you.
  • People chill! There is no need to call this out as a 'pepsi blue' event and get the monkey cage going down the metafilter path. I thought the site was good to waste some time on even with the javascript nonsense. Isn't that what we're all here for?
  • Isn't that what we're all here for? I'm here to meet chicks.
  • Zanshin! Here you go!!! Sex with Chicks!
  • Thanks! Mission accomplished, I can go home now.
  • I'm here to polish my dressage routine and get some tips on bougainvillea gardening. Links appreciated w/ thanks!
  • I could swear that Chy or someone posted something about this before, but here's to sexing chicks up!
  • Damn you deconstructo!
  • I read MoFi for the investigative journalism and quality short fiction. Dirty, dirty monkeys looking at dirty, dirty pictures.
  • I read MoFi for the instigative journalism and quality short friction. And wasn't one of the members of Blink 182 in the Aquabats? That immediately makes me want to get every member of their band high on crack and then beat them with my Cuttlefish of Cthulhu. And yes, I am a HUGE Gwar fan.
  • cog_nate: Kind of subversive = Mormon Disney Subversive. Perfect for little kids. That is what I said. Gwar doesn't take themselves seriously, but they also aren't the perfect soundtrack for the next Lindsey Lohan movie trailer. Amusing? Sometimes. Best Band Ever? There are so many other better ska, punk, and funny bands that it isn't even close. I would pick Nerf Herder before them, and Nerf Hurder is way below Ween, the Dead Milkmen, They Might Be Giants, Black Sabbath, Black Flag, The Spoecials, The Skatalites, the Clash, the Circle Jerks, the Ramones, etc. etc. etc. Hell, I know local bands that are more entertaining than the Aquabats. Barefoot Hockey Goalie had better props, better songs, didn't play ska, and didn't need to have twenty people on stage. armaghetto: The drummer in Blink was originally the drummer in the Aquabats.
  • Best Band Ever? There are so many other better ska, punk, and funny bands that it isn't even close. Please refer to my comment to Kimberly. Irony, gang. Come on. didn't need to have twenty people on stage Never have I seen the Aquabats with 20 people on the stage. Thanks for the hyperbole, though. Lindsey Lohan movie trailer I would totally love to see Lindsey Lohan getting eaten by the World Maggot. Also, having not seen any Lindsey Lohan movies, I'm confused. Are The Aquabats actually providing (or have provided) music for a production starring her? If so, I'd like a link.
