Boring Musicians that Ruin Bands For You. Be it talent, energy, or whatever.
I thought I'd start this thread because I just started looking up live videos of the band Yuck, and the lead guitarist is the most boring dude ever. Yeah, it's shoegaze, but you're playing awesome fuzzy lead guitar, move the fuck around. And his playing in their song "The Wall" that really makes me wanna go "I COULD FUCKING DO BETTER THAN THIS."

He's pretty chill and plays decent guitar, and who am I to complain? but... I just can't stand watching him. EDIT: LISTEN TO HIM TALK AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO. "THIS LIKE...LIKE YOU KNOW...LIKE... HAVE TO LIKE."

Couldn't agree with you more, every time I've watched them live they all (except the drummer) look extremely bored
which pretty much ruins it for me.

I'm really annoyed by the lead singer's head being perpetually cocked to the side.
I just want to shake them and tell them they look like they hate playing music.

Maybe they look bored because they have heard the song they are playing...
I HATE IT when a band writes ONE line and sings it over and over and over.
FUCK

I wonder if the drummer will realize one day that he is the only person that seems to be alive.

the band with the instruments. i mean, i get it if you're a band that has like one hit song, and everyone wants to hear that one song, but fuck, you can still have fun with it. change it up, do a bunch of drugs beforehand, whatever, but i hate it when people play like fucking robots

Are y'all really hating on a band that's based their entire sound, attitude, and approach on the 90's zero-ambition/Gen X bands of yore... for appearing apathetic?
