Best parody bands and albums?


Recommended Posts

I picked up Fast Lady "The Money Shot"...a few days back... a UK band that calls themself "Mutant yorkshire poodle machine def leppard mullet bad tattoo Rock"....with song titles like...Daddy of Vice City....Living Life with One Arm...Sweet Pea...I hope they are a parody bad....

 

Anyone ever hear of them?

These guys?

Just heard a little sample there. Sounds a bit unpleasant. Is it any good?

 

That's them, a bit unpleasant is putting it mildly, I only made it thru about 4 songs before taking it off....Now I know why it only cost 2 bucks.

I got tired of reading all the posts a while back on this topic, but I gotta agree with Geoff. I've been listening to hair metal since it's birth back in the day, and when a band has got it, it's got it. I've listened to the Steel Panther CD at least 10 times now. I loved them when they were Danger Kitty, Metal Shop & Metal Skool. Of course they are a spoof of what hair metal was, but damn, there songs got some killer hooks. Their new album just flat out kicks ass. Can't wait to see them live in August here in Kansas City.

I'm sorry but all those people who take music "seriously" need to lighten the fuck up.

Music is supposed to be entertainment, not "serious".

If I want serious, I will read a book about serious subjects or watch a documentary, but all I want from music is fun.

If you cant accept humour and self mocking of the genre, then you really do need to come up for air.

 

It reminds me of those people who dont like Space balls purely because they feel it doesnt take Star Wars seriously.

 

Fair enough if you just dont find Steel Panther or Spinal Tap or Weird Al funny, but music is not about being serious.

 

I am a collector, I love my music, but that doesnt stop me laughing at the ridiculousness of it.

In fact, the whole concept of Spinal Tap is thats its mocking those that take it all too seriously, not just heavy metal itself!

 

 

It "seriously" pisses me off when people start spouting off that they dont like stuff like this because they are a collector etc, as basically they are saying that anyone who likes stuff like this isnt a fan or a collector.

Amen. Steel Panther just kicked my butt again this evening. Marvellous album on all levels.

Libery & Justice - 'Soundtrack to a soul' ; not a complete parody album, but the closing skit is hilarious. The one where some Jesus-f*cked dickhead comes onto the speakers and says we should all sit down and say a prayer asking God to forgive us for our lives and the sin we've committed. :lol: Looks like the Jesus part of his brain has pushed out any intelligence he had in there once. F*cking idiot, but it did make for a good laugh.

Maybe I'm just tired and thin-skinned tonight, and I know you hate Christianity to an outrageous extreme, but is it really necessary to refer to Christians as "Jesus-fucked dickheads" and "fucking idiots"?

:lol: You must have some kind of radar mate! How'd you pick this one up? Anyway, I'm not referring to all christians as "Jesus-fucked dickheads" and "fucking idiots"... just the moron on the end of this CD advising us to join him in a prayer apologising for the lives we live. Yes, to me, that is a mindless f*cking idiot. Sorry if it offends but I'd guess I'd have more intelligent conversations with my pug than this guy. :)

I just do a search for "threads where Geoff's being an asshole again." ;) I generally get about 3,214 hits, at which point I begin sifting through them looking for your Christian-bashing. Doesn't take too long to find something. You can say you're only calling the guy on the CD those names, but in the end, most Christians share his beliefs, so it's not hard to surmise that you would readily refer to other Christians the same way. Don't worry, mate, I'm not really offended, but I would be lying if I said I thought the colorful phrases you concocted to describe Christians--or at least, that particular Christian--were necessary. But hey, freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, right? You're free to spew your hatred, I'm free to call you a jackass. It all balances out. Equilibrium is a wonderful thing.

 

If I ever make it to Australia, I still expect you to buy this Jesus-fucked dickhead a beer. :P

Yeah, to be honest you don't need to be a genius to read between the lines and it's not even that I'm calling all christians complete morons - in my opinion... just the religious part of their brain which seems to take over other parts of it when found. ;) To me it's the biggest contradiction to find an otherwise intelligent person (and I mean this honestly, like yourself. Because if I tell you honestly, every christian I know personally is a desperate, weak-minded, unintelligent human who just needs something to verify their worth and allow them to think they know a better way than non-believers) but then seeing them have this crazy, wild fantasy-driven religious side too. Just baffles the hell out of me.

 

Anyway, you can bet my religion-hating ass that if you do get over here we'll share that beer, and probably a cuddle to. If that's cool. ;)

 

And do you really think I need to apologise to God for the life I live? Hypothetically, if I told you I did believe in a "God" (though IT would be nothing like the God religion paints) and that this notion of God had nothing to do with religion or worship... would I still need to apologise to the christian's needy, all-controlling, suffocating, insecure and demanding version of God for my life? :P

 

To me, you can be a good person who'd rather go for a surf on Sunday morning rather than waste a beautiful day in a church. There's nothing wrong with spending your money on family and friends and established worthwhile charities if you're that way inclined rather than donating to your local church (for what?!). Why not read, watch TV, have sex, spend time with friends and family rather than pray? I don't see anything there I need to apologise for. I just find it funny (and offensive and stupid) that the general christian (and any other religion) thought process is that the only way to become a good, better person is via Jesus Christ, God, a church, prayer, worship, sobriety, abstaining from sex, prayer groups, religion etc. Just makes me want to burn and break stuff.

Not that I don't enjoy and agree with 99.9% of everything Geoff says, he is my ugly twin brother from another mother after all, but...

 

back on topic:

 

Agree with some of the bands mentioned: Steel metal panther Kitty skool danger shop, Spinal Tap et al, but I am surprised no one has mentioned the Perpetrators-Porno Rock.

 

Check em out on Amazon, the cd is a bitch to find, but Amazon's got samples... :)

Always going to be Spinal Tap for me. About 90% of what happened in the movie I witnessed in real life at some point (no Stonehenge related incidents though). Can't get much better parody than that.

I personally have no problem with thread derailment, so...

 

Geoff, you must have met some real jackass Christians in your time. Like any class of people, Christians come in all shapes, sizes, and varying theological beliefs, but judging from your comments, you've only bumped into the retards. As you know, there are several Christians on these boards alone, people you like & respect, people I hardly think you would classify as desperate, weak-minded, and unintelligent. Well, except Matt. He's a little desperate for your affection, I'll concede that. :P

 

You seem to think that you can't be a Christian and still have fun. Newsflash you for you, buddy, I'm a Christian and I rarely go to church, I spend money on charities rather than the church, I read books, watch TV, have sex, drink, and spend time with friends. See, all the things you like to do, I can do to. Being a Christian does not mean you flick off the fun switch.

 

I could probably ramble for hours, but I'll end here. Just to piss you off, I'm going to get a prayer group together and spend the next 6 hrs. praying for your damned soul. After that, I might have a beer and then get laid. B)

But that's exactly why we get on fine. Sadly, from my experience you are not "your average christian". To be honest, if every christian was like you we might not have these discussions, but my experiences have been very different. Especially with these moron born-again christians. They kill me.

 

At the end of the day, I just look at it this way. Every Tom, Dick, Pug and Harry knows how f*cked up it is when they see a news story or movie about a cult where some insane dude gathers a bunch of weak-minded individuals, brainwashes them into believing in some f*cked up fictional leader from another place that they all need to die for... and then they all kill themselves.

 

What I don't get is why so many people can't see plain and simply that religion is another form of this (maybe without the final mass suicide pact... but then again, the depths that some of these people go to to follow their religion is a form of suicide, albiet slow and lifelong). To me, religion in it's various forms is a worldwide cult brainwashing otherwise normal people. I guess it's sadly just another reflection on how stupid people are (amongst many other non-religious things, admittedly). Fact is, I could go back a few thousand years in the past in my time machine, write some of my own scriptures referencing a God called Tulip and you can bet your ass there would be a bunch of dumb schmucks today worshipping Tulip, the God of asscheeks.

 

In conclusion, I just hate people. :)

And I did see this too, mate. Revenge will happen, and will possibly be sexual.

I'm not the world's biggest fan of Steel Panther. Don't get me wrong; they're good! But, that said, I think they were much better as Metal (Shop/Skool/etc). I know the songs are the same. Maybe I just like the originals.

 

If we were talking Metal S(tuff), I'd say them. But, with the choices given, I'd go with Black Sweden - Gold. I really get a kick out of them and a lot of others have been very pleasantly surprised when hearing them too. (Though, I imagine if you don't do well with things other than metal, you could go in with a bias and hate them. But, that hasn't happened to me yet.)
