Quand The Onion parle de musique...


les résultats sont, comme toujours, hilarants. Voiçi un bref article sur Puddle of Mudd parru en 2002. Et même si l'article n'est vraiment pas récent, ce dernier pourrait s'appliquer quand même à plusieurs groupes qui sévissent encore et toujours sur les ondes des radios commerciales.

Horrible Band Obviously Not Listening To Its Influences
July 17, 2002
Issue 38•25


SAN DIEGO— Puddle Of Mudd, a dreary nü-metal rock band that cites Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Metallica as influences, is obviously not listening to those influences. "Zep, Sabbath, Metallica, Maiden, Aerosmith—growing up, that's what we listened to, and that's what shaped our sound," said lead singer Wes Scantlin, whose mopey, monotone vocals in no way bear the stamp of Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, or his other idols. Scantlin, who made the comments during an interview Monday with Spin reporter Charles Aaron, failed to say which part of Puddle Of Mudd's atrocious new ballad "Drift & Die" resembles "When The Levee Breaks" or "Sweet Emotion."
