who cares
who really gives a shit about the offspring? no better than good charrlotte as far as im concerned
Re: who cares
You must do, otherwise you wouldn't have read the article on them...
Re: who cares
why is good charlotte a bad band?
cause they sold out? well if wanting to make money makes you a bad band then everyone is going in that direction, i have been listening to punk for 13 years now and i admit sometimes i dont like the direction its all going in,but good charlotte worked damn hard to get where they are and the fact is that they can please an audiance, same as offspring, you have to remember offspring is an oder band,they did there young punk stage for years, so let them make some money that all these pop punk bands are making, i say go for it, they have nothing to proove anymore

Re: who cares
Be honest, nearly everyone who has some love of rock music has at least one Offspring record somewhere. I do, and I can't bear them! Yes it's Smash, and yes I got it when I was 14, on cassette (although I did buy it on CD only a couple of years ago for £2.50 - bargain!).
Re: who cares
Obviously your intillect of music is quite scarce. To compare the outstanding music intensity of the Offspring with that of Good Charrlotte would be to call ones self a big dummy.
Re: who cares
Don't try and slag off someone's musical taste, when you haven't got the vocabulary to do it. What exactly does "intillect of music" mean?
Early Offspring is great, but there isn't a great deal to choose between the last Offspring LP and Good Charlottes' last opus.

How is that for intellect of music?
The Offspring did, does, and will always kick ass. They have always been punk and completely off the wall. If you don't like them, then you never did- because they didn't sell out. Good Charlotte is another story. But, if you want to talk about sell outs, let's roll over Metallica and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. How about Linkin Park?
The Offspring
Who mentioned Sell Out? You can only sell out if you stood for some sort of ideal in the first place.
There is however no denying that the Offspring's music has changed since they started. Every band's does. It's just that in my opinion it has changed for the worse. They are poppier than they used to be. Whether that has just been a natural development of Dexter's songwriting or a deliberate move to become more radio friendly, I don't know. Again that's a matter of opinion.

Re: The Offspring
It's just better songwriting. 'People' don't like good songs, in general. Usually because everyone else likes it, too. Noses, Faces, Spiting, etc.
offspring
music is like ice cream flavors... the offspring are a really good band, ignition wow powerful, and come out swinging off conspirecy is awsome. although the lyrics have changed from darker and more meaninful to light love songs the feeling i get from the offspring is the same. Energy listen to the music with a clear state of mind and then base judgment.
The Offspring
The Offspring is the best band i ever heard. they are better than Good Charlotte because they SUCK and a lot of people agree. i have 4 offspring CDs and they all rule. i might be only 13 but if you disagree of this than SCREW YOU!!!!!!!

Re: who cares
...if you don't like them, don't read articles on them.
Re: who cares
i care because offspring kicks so much ass and good charlotte is just another boy band.
offspring greatness
i agree that Offspring's music has gotten in some respects 'poppier', but unlike many other bands these days who recycle the same (alternative, grunge, hard rock, metal, bubblegum punk...) music, Offspring almost always has some new twist. progressive lyric and song writing is the true sign of a 'good band'. if you dont like a band, that's fine... but dont show disrespect. most punks and metalheads will just assume beat your ass if you start disrespecting in front of them.... but then this is the cowards age of internet, where little 14 year olds who dont know shit, hide behind a screen name. come out of your house and disrespect tweeker-baby.
Re: YOU ALL CAN GO TO HELL!!
Leper messiah is a metallica song exactly what do you think you are doing using a song of theirs as your name.
Re: YOU ALL CAN GO TO HELL!!
Pah! It was originally a David Bowie lyric. I've never heard of the Metallica song, and i'm not particularly bothered by that
The New Album Splinter
Yes im a fan of The Offspring, and yes, i think the album has the potential to be a good album, from the snippets i've heard its fresh, hints of old, hints of new, what more can u ask for?? rehtorical Q, the band have made it, Smash took em big time, Americana was another great album, personally, my favourites have to be ignition, ixnay on the hombre, and americana. The other subject of weather Good Charlotte suck or dont suck is complete crap, the band are doing what they love, hardcore fans say they sold out, blah blah blah, and other fans think the world of them, its the same case with the Offspring when they went to Colombia, i read they cut a lot of ties, so what, so fucking what! they are still doing what they love to do, and for gods sake, if some one gave me a record deal for my band, i would rip thier arm of for it, i wanna get out there and do it, play for fans, make records, travel, be able to keep my family safe and well looked after, and what they can do now is that, there pretty much financially OK, which means they can go into studios and have fun making records now, instead of meating deadlines and have the hierachy of the label or music buisness coming down on them from all angles. i have to agree with what Tom and Doug said about their respective posts. If you dont like the album dont buy it, you dont like the band, dont listen to them, simple as people, if your no more than a fickle lover of the music today and band hop from limp bizkit to linkin park to good charlotte then your no better than the painted up, corperate whores that are popstars, and i think, thats why some of us started listening to punk, because it talked about evrything we feel, evrything we hated and evrything we hoped for, people like the jam, the clash, the sex pistols, yeah popular mainstream but they had their views put across and people listened, i hope that once you have read this, you'll think less about hating stuff, and more about making your own stuff better for you
dont know weather it made any sense to any of you, but i hope it did, email me if you wanna chat or send emails
see you people later

er, new album stuff
i can't be bothered to read all the posts but, i think that this albums gonna be great coz from what i've heard it sounds kinda like older stuff. americana and conspiracy of one were good, but a bit too poppy for my liking, but they were still good. and theres nothing wrong wth good charlotte, i don't like their songs much but i've got nothing against them.

Re: The Offspring
Oh please you too, you need to learn we all have seperate tastes. I can only shudder to thing what you'd say if I told u my favourite artist is Rachmaninov (if you've heard of him).
Re: The Offspring
Good Charlotte is a bunch of posers. They're not real punk. Offspring is and kicks Good Charlotte's poserpunk ass. Offspring is so much more fast and furious while Good Charlotte is slow boring and can't play guitar for shit. If you like Offspring, then I like you. If you like Good Charlotte, go fuck yourself.
Offspring kicks ass!
Offspring is fuckin awesome
Good Charlotte sucks balls. People who like them and say they're punk are bunch of retards who dont know jack shit about punk rock.

The Offspring would be awesome if they just stopped with the stupid humour! Dexter writes some really good lyrics but then buggers it up with a comedy song half way thru the album.
For the record: GC do suck. Anyone see them live at Reading this year? Absolute joke!

Re: who cares
i care. i've been waiting 3 years for this and now that it's here, i can't wait to get it. who gives a crap about what you say. other people don't really care to hear that crap. and how can you compare the offspring to good charlette? the offspring have been around since before 1989 and good charlette has been around for like a year? how many albums have gc sold and how many do they have out? the offspring have gone platinum 4 times with their 3rd album Smash. can you say that about gc?
Re: who cares
Good Charlotte: pop-punk
GC suck. Pop Punk sucks. They just make music for teenage girls who think theyre rebelling against something. Lyrics with the intellectual quality of:
"Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money"
Punk's supposed to stand for something. GC stand for apathy and armchair rebellion.
Offspring are marginally better.

I seriously thought they were taking the piss when I first saw that. In fact, thinking about it, they probably were. I bet when they get home at night they take off their spiky wigs, wipe off their tattoos and sit down for a cigar and a brandy before discussing how's best to rip off some gullible little kids.
And yeah Offspring are better than GC, just.

not all punk is for girls. just because one band sings about it, doesn't mean all of them do.

A good song melts one's hardheartedness a little, absolutely, Is that why musicians are rated so high by women? sometimes i'm surprised by joy and find my mood suddenly transmogrified.
Offspring's New Offering Out December
I've been waiting for splinter for over 3 years. And it rocks.
Good Charlotte are not punk, cos they are the backstreet boys with eyeliner. They try and be hard, when they aren't. For gods sake they are on girly magazines in stores- completely sold out. They dont know what punk is. I'm not saying that they suck- cos that is just my opinion, and I don't badmouth other bands cos i hate it when people badmouth Offspring.
If anyone thinks Offspring is just sold out 'fake punk' listen to their first album, their second, third, and so on. You'll see what i mean when i say they kept punk alive. They did get sold out with Americana, there is no denying it- but they are punk.
