Sometimes at night my husband and I turn on the TV as background noise while we drift to sleep. Sometimes, we fall asleep to Letterman, sometimes it's a show on Discovery, but lately we've been catching bits and pieces of this show on VH1 called SuperGroup. The premise is really lame… to bring metal back to the forefront of the music scene by having Ted Nugent, Scott Ian, Sebastian Bach, Evan Seinfeld and Jason Bonham form a band. So these guys live together for a couple weeks and while the cameras are rolling, interesting stuff happens.
By interesting, I mean hilariously pathetic, borderlining disturbing.
First, just let me say that I gotta give it up to Bonham and Ian for being the most down to earth and clearly the most sane of the group. I have always loved Scott Ian and the beard he's sporting recently is just too badass. Also, I won't pick on Uncle Ted too much. The Nuge is popular here in his home state of Michigan and I gotta give him props for walking out of the room when Evan and Sebastian were photographing their scantily clad, semi-good-looking wives together (I believe the words he used were “degrading” and “soulless”). That said…
It's Sebastian Bach who just irritates the living hell out of a person. It's impossible to drift to sleep at night when you're listening to a grown man repeat himself every three seconds. In the episode that aired last night, the band was still trying to settle on a band name. The first one they came up with, FIST, is about as lame as the band name, The Damn Yankees, but not quite as horrible as the one Sebastian kept proposing over and over. “Savage Animal. Savage Animal! I just like the way it rolls off the tongue! Savage Animal! We ARE savage animals. Rock IS a savage animal. Savage Animal! Savage Animal! C'mon guys! Pick the name I want because I'm a whiny little narcissistic megalomaniac and I'm the lead-singerrrrrrrrr.” They finally settled on the name Damnocracy. It was too too funny; I couldn't stop laughing. Does anyone else think he's a total joke?
Look at him. He still has 80's hair. Perhaps when Jon Bon Jovi cut his hair off, Sebastian should have gained a clue. Why on earth did they pick this guy? He just can't sing like he used to. He's obsessed with his physical condition to the point of inconveniencing everyone else. He reminds me a lot of my younger hyperactive stepbrother when he was a pre-teen. He's just too over the top and in your face. When he told Bonham not to wear shades while he played drums, Bonham should have jumped over that drum kit and whooped his skanky primadonna a$$.
Look, the medallion must go, dude. You're washed up. My husband and I agree, we'd rather remember you the way you were in the 80's. We were still trying to come to grips with what you were in the 90's when you were too drunk to perform and your pants kept falling down. Now you've killed my mental image of your once young, sexy ass shaking it up on the MTV along with any desire I will ever have to listen to my old Skid Row CDs. Please, for the love of all that is holy, put away the bottle, toss the eyeliner in the trash and cut your fried hair. No self-respecting woman would be caught dead sporting that overly processed frizzy heap you call a hair-do.
I can hardly stand to watch the show because it's such a spectacle. This is what happens to people when fame goes to their heads. From now on, I'll try to fall asleep watching something starring Fran Drescher. While her voice is totally more annoying than Sebastian's, at least she has nice hair.

Savage Animal?

fuck you, you don't know Sebastian, he was acting.
The only acting he is capable of is acting straight so that he can delude his legions of admiring, ignorant, trashy and trapped-in-the-80's whores to keep him in cheap women. So he can deny his sexuality longer.
From falling down drunk and embarrassing himself the last time I paid to see a decent act perform and caught his circus like antics, he has been nothing but a joke. His only justification is to have made David Lee Roth feel less like a loser since the mid 80's. Please do not get all fired up defending this one hit wonder when he was not being attacked, because I will have to point out that he has not recorded a song worth hearing EVER and only had one album capable of selling. His band hated him, the people he toured with hated him, and the only reason people watched that show was hoping that they could see Nugent disembowel, and skin him.
Now if you want, please go find some fan club of size 16-46 women still trying to cram into their acid washed size 4 jean skirts to come here and win, your hits will give this blog google ad revenue. Thanks, pennies!
Then go buy a copy of Bowling for Soup’s song 1984 and realize that you are COMPLETELY pathetic to the point that you are being parodied.
HA HA HA HA HA YOU ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THAT FAGGOT BAND BOWLING FOR SOUP…I DONT EVEN LIKE FUCKING SEBASTIAN BACH AND I JUST LOST ALL RESPECT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW…
And Supergroup was a great show, sure everyone on it except Scott Ian and Jason Bonham were assholes, but that almost made it more interesting to see egos clash. The real thing about the show was the MESSAGE. Those Hollywood/MTV faggots were trying to fucking update their images and all this other gay ass shit to make them “current”, but do REAL rock/metal fans care, FUCK NO! That was exactly why the final episode of that show was so great, in the end the REAL fans came out to support them because REAL fans of rock and metal aren't the fucking fickle ass pussy fags who started listening to faggot ass grunge like Nirvana and Pearl jam (grunge still is and always will be SHIT), they stuck with that shit forever, and you actually saw that coming together on Supergroup!
And guess what happened after Supergroup died, kids watched it and realized “hey that music is way fucking better than this faggot ass Green Day/blink 182 shit I listen to, where can I hear more stuff like this”, so they went out and lsitened to Skid Row and Anthrax and Nugent and all the other bands represented on that show, and sure enough theirs a “metal revival” movement going on right now, kids are actually listening to GOOD MUSIC for the first time since like 1900, and new talented bands like Trivium, Dream Theater, Nevermore, Opeth, Necrophagist etc. are flying the flag for an all new generation of metalheads, thanks very much in part to SuperGroup (then again some of those bands have been aroudn since the 90's but nobody payed attention cause all the faggot ass Spin magazines were like “omfgz kurt cobain n sonic youth is so deep yo”). Thats exactly why Vh1 Classic plays that show all the time now even though it wasn't really that popular when it was on, cause now the market loves that stuff…
For the actual blog, I agreed was a lot of the stuff you said even though I do believe that Ted nugent is a hypocrit/asshole, and your statement about getting a haircut, but overall I can agree with or at elast agree to disagree with most of what you said. When this fag above me mentioned the fucking shit ass fag punk Bowling For Soup I got pissed as hell, nobody likes any of that fucking Green Day faggot shit anymore. Punk/Grunge/Alternative is a disgrace to rock music and thank God it's finally falling out.
Okay, I will try to take it easy on you since you are clearly;
1. 12 years old
2. Mentally Challenged
3. Utterly clueless
I say this for a reason, you are clearly in denial of your sexuality or feel threatened by gay people, the only reason I am allowing your comment to stay is that you prove my entire argument via your mere existance. You ARE the trapped in the 80's loser fan base of people like Sebastian Bach. Supergroup had all the television value of Tila Tequila, and musically was outshined by that other band created for television…The Monkees.
The “metal revival movement” is merely based on the corporate controlled, planned and motivated sense of nostalgia that is pushed through on a regular basis. It has been 25 years since the release of “Shout at the Devil” by Motley Crue and the whoring of the 80's has begun. The 50's were whored in the 70's, 60s in the 80's, 70's in the 90's and the trend continues. When you get out of your teens you may start to gain a sense of history and come to this realization. VH1 classic is merely playing the game as dictated by the corporate overlords who are anxious to clear decades old inventory out of their warehouses.
Your disregard of grunge musically also proves your mental state is not mature or stable since it can clearly be demonstrated in the 80's speak you are clearly in love with that Warrant and Stryper are poseurs to Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi were poseurs to Motley Crue and Guns and Roses, who were in turn poseurs to (Pre-whores for the RIAA Metallica) and Motorhead but in fact they are ALL poseurs in a musical sense next to Pearl Jam. Next to the Beatles, Pearl Jam is a poseur group, and next to Pink Floyd ALL the previously mentioned groups (with the exception of the Beatles) are poseurs.
“Kids” never realized anything, they still do what MTV tells them to do, while small subgroups select music based on taste rather than marketing, and it has been the same since the 1920's when they concept of “kids” became viable for the first time in the history of the world. But those subgroups are rare, few and far between. Your attitude of the imminent superiority of something based purely on its age is what allows bastardizations ala Kid Rock to exist.
Now, on to Bowling For Soup, musically they are tight, rhythmic and lyrically interesting but not genius, I was pointing to their lyrics in regards to a particular song rather than holding them up as paragons of the art form, but your reading comprehension level is another indicator of your immaturity/mental issues.
Now, onto your clear gender confusion issues, you are a very sad young boy. The level of anti-gay attacks is bloody well silly and proves you are not ready to sit that the table with the adults on Thanksgiving but should be relegated to the fold up card table in the laundry room. ESPECIALLY in light of the fact that some of the primary influences and dominant acts of the genre are Judas Priest and Queen. Being anti-gay and pro-metal is like being a KKK member with an ACLU membership…Ignorant AND Confused. Have you EVER SEEN the way metal bands dressed in the 80's? Poison wore more makeup than any 50 drag queens, if you deny that, “You've got another thing coming!”
Last but not least, I could really care less if you get pissed, your judgement of me as some anonymous pipqueak on the internet is entirely valueless. If you were standing in front of me, based entirely on your post, I could piss on you without any feeling of guilt or remorse.
