The doom band "Orchid" needs to change their name.

Im still mad that i missed the squire japan pillows signature guitars

THERES EVEN PAINT ON THE BACK

Maaaaaan life is such bullshit

[casecandy]

Make a video about the dangers of accidentally listening to a shitty band because they have the same name as a good band. It would be like if brand new had just said fuck it and named themselves mudhoney or something.

Okay this was such an obvious CaseCandy troll. Brand New innovated their genre (emo) just as much as Mudhoney innovated theirs (grunge). And I'd take BN over MH any day of the week. This having been said... even if BN were complete shit... "Brand New" is a better band name than "Mudhoney." What a declaration...!

ANYFUCKINGWAY

I thought of another eggregious example of this that has plagued me in the past.

This is not Ghost. To paraphrase the words of one Mr. George Feeny, they are nothing but poseurs, and of the worst kind, too: poseurs wearing funhouse makeup. Tsk, tsk.



Now this... this is Ghost. One of Michiko Kurihara's armpit hairs has more cred than all the members of that other abomination combined.



So while I disagree with your specific hypothetical example... I agree with the sentiment. How dare these fuckers (formed 2006) just steal the name of an older heavy psych band (formed 1984) erasing part of their impact and career.

I agree except for the Brand New bit Because I don't know anything about them and can't agree or disagree
and from what you've said about them at other time they aren't my cup of tea
also the cooler name is in fact and quite truly mudhoney
but really or something in a view of this Ghost B.C
the look is ok but then dude starts to sing and it's shitty

[daseb]

you know how there's all those garbage cornerstone fest christian rock bands that sound completely limp and lifeless and clean? Ghost BC are what I imagine an alternate universe where satan won the war in heaven's version of that music to be like. Completely flat, dull, boring bullshit with some jerk in facepaint droning on about his non-corporeal buddy.

How you can make A FUCKING ROCK BAND THAT TALKS ABOUT THE DARK LORD sound so boring is really actually quite impressive.

As loathe as I am to agree with casecandy about anything the OG Ghost should be paid revenues in perpetuity by those clowns.

I don't think they would be, no.
They're probably not as good as I think they are nor as awful as Space makes them out to be.
If you want to find out, listen to the album The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me, and if you aren't hooked by the first five tracks, they're not your cup of tea.

Its almost as if you specifically researched and formulated this post to get me to agree with you.

[D.o.S.]

I don't think Ghost are posers, I just think they like Blue Oyster Cult.

And really, isnt that just as bad?

[D.o.S.]

Fuck and No. BOC are criminally dismissed because of their AOR staples and so, so much shit in the second half of their career, but their first three albums (which sound nothing like the BOC Ghost is dickriding, tbh) are fantastic in a Steppenwolf-y way.

Any band that has Patti Smith on vocals, even in part, cannot be bad. QED.

I think Opus Eponymous is a really fun album. It's catchy as fuck classic metal as theatre you know? Infestissumam however... could the production be any more fucking horrible? It's the musical equivalent of trying to drink from a mist sprayer.

[D.o.S.]

they are boring as fuck live though.
