Bad Band Photos - Funny collection with funnier captions

Rock, blues, country, hip hop... no one is safe here. Not even family singing groups.

A friend sent me this link from Rock And Roll Confidential (Your Band Sucks) website. Awesome!

It's a list of photos that never should have been taken of bands of all genres.

What makes it great are the even funnier captions someone wrote for them.

Just so you get the ongoing inside jokes... "brick-walling" is a term to anyone who has ever posed by a brick wall (you know, to "look cooler"). It's consider a very bad trendy idea. Railroad tracks are the equivalent to brick walls as background decoration.

Top 10 Stupidest "Black Metal" Band Photos

"Top 10 Most Ridiculous Black Metal Pictures Of All Time"

Here is something that is sure to put a smile on your face. These are two webpages dedicated to the stupidest "Black Metal" band outfits / make-up.
I have to say that these two webpages are a cure for constipation. I about crapped myself a few times, laughing so hard at the sheer stupidity of everything on here.

Don't just look at the photos, read the commentaries. There are two especially funny comments on the first page -
Band ..2 - "What's with the shin guards? Since when does Satan have a hockey team?",
and also Band ..1 - "It looks like he punched a fucking procupine."

The 10 Commandments Of Punk Guitar

Along with Greg Hetson of Bad Religion and Circle Jerks fame, Bad Religion guitarist Brian Baker compiled a list of 10 commandments of punk guitar. They are as follows:

1. Treat your guitar like shit and it will respect you.
2. To get that mean fuckin' low end and still retain some highs in your sound, use only Gibson guitars. SG's and Les Pauls are the ultimate punk rock tools.
3. Use only downstrokes. Downstrokes are the key to unlocking all punk rhythms.
4. Plaster your guitars with stickers to prove that you're an individual. Remember, being uncool is cool, so one Van Halen is worth three Sex Pistols stickers.
5. The Marshall JMP 100-Watt master volume head is the Holy Grail of amps. Other people get all hot and bothered about what kind of speakers and cabinets they use, but that's all bullshit. You can plug the JMP into virtually anything and it's going to sound wonderful.
6. No open tunings. Grunge is not punk rock.
7. Don't be self-indulgent. Limit your guitar solos to eight bars or less. Otherwise, you're playing metal.
8. Never, ever play a show with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth. It's incredibly painful when a stage diver pushes off your face and smashes the red-hot cherry into your cheek.
9. It may be punk to be fucked up at your day job, but when you take the stage you should be straight. It's hard to play music with intensity and speed when you're drunk.
10. Do not stack Marshall cabinets. That's not punk, it's arena rock. The Ramones are the only band exempted from this rule.
