I like Deftones. We were just talking about them in the office, actually. What else came out of nu-metal that was any good, really? That said, I saw that tossbag singer out of DiSturbed on Cribs the other night - he's clearly done okay through singing like an ape with its nuts in a tiger's jaws.

The Bravery

track TBC - what a tune. Really defined a whole era for me.
Oh why did fucking Panic! at the disco
havew to do my favorite song from my favorite album ever.
cunts
Incubus
were another good band to come out of nu-metal. But they're not on this album. Boo.
This looks awful
Obviously Deftones are excellent (Kweller's alright too) but what the hell is going on with this compilation? I find most 'tribute' lps these days have the biggest names to attract the cash rather than decent bands who are actually fans of the artist.
Surely if any of those bands are fans or influenced by Corgan and co they wouldn't make the dreadful dirge they call 'their own music'.
How would you like to see cover a Pumpkins masterpiece?
This is fucking disgusting.
There are so so many utterly abhorrent and fundamentally dispiccable wastes of fucking oxygen and airtime on that record. It's essentially a collection of Smashing Pumpkins songs as interpreted by a variety of trendy haircuts. GRRRRRRR
Painfully.
Whilst on-stage.
Agreed
Just like the pitiful array of 2nd rate folkies collected for the Jeff/Tim Buckley Dream Brother tribute.
The most remarkable thing about this article
is that apparently The Bravery are still going.
.
Good point. I recently found an old copy of the NME from the week after that Reading with Durst on the cover jumping around with loads of confetti going off. They grudgingly declared it one of the highlights of the weekend.
Ben Kweller
Doing Today would be interesting. I'd much rather hear Brendan Benson doing it though.
oh dear
oh dear oh dear
The question is...
who actually will want to listen to this more than once? Anyone? Hello?
I thought you meant the hardcore band Panic for a second then.
Also Poison The Well covered three Pumpkins tracks and did a decent job.
isn't there already
a Pumpkins covers L.P entitled 'the killer in you'? (could be me...). I remember it being shocking. I doubt this will be much better. Apparently, P!ATD can also massacre 'Karma Police'. Cunce.
right
except replace "trendy haircuts" with "shit bands"
virgin records must really hate the pumpkins
Agreed!
Here here. Whatever will they think of next? Pop punk bands doing a Slint cover album....?
I don't ever want to hear this.
thanks.
Panic played that at Leeds.
They do it pretty well, if I do say so myself.
