Ridiculous and unintentionally hilarious music

In America they seem to have turned the deluded local band thing into an art form.

The Gypsy Rose 
What a durty kip. I was in the upstairs bog one night having a slash at the urinal and a couple of inches from my nose spotted an aul snot stuck to the wall with a a fookin pube stuck on it... 

[hellfire]

The few times I was in the bog in Fibbers the place was a swamp of urine and the cubicle was almost always a mess of shite.

21 years later I've found some metal compadres who also hated fibbers, bruxelles, sin e, gypsy rose.

those places were dives, but without the charm of dives

it was never ok in those days to be a metal fan but to dislike grubby clubs and pubs, or to like the idea of going to a festival but to like the idea of going to a festival near a 4 star hotel.

This is something I don't understand about Irish glam bands. Why go to all the trouble of getting dressed up and making a video if you're going to put zero effort into your song writing and production. This is the type of shite a cover band comes up with when they try to write a song.

They look too young to actually have any clear memory of the 80s, so it's kind of a mangled tribute. 10x better than those Lush lads tho

Never heard of the last two (they must be after my time), but Fibbers and Bruxelles have always been shitholes IMO.

Sin E is pretty decent imo.

Fibbers is only tolerable if you're already pissed when you get there, and weird shit always happens to me there too.

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Excellent stuff, fucking hell

Sin é must be about 20 years in Dublin! It's just not a metal bar, not sure why it's being mentioned here.

It's had a fair few metal nights and shows on there, especially in recent years. I found a lot of people would tend to head there after a gig in the Voodoo

The Gypsy made Fibbers look sparkling clean though, and seemed to hire barstaff based on their willingness to stick their tits out than any sort of ability at pulling pints. It's not missed

Hang on, let's not be hasty now. 

I moved out of Dublin in the early '00s and didn't bother with metal gigs for the last couple of years I was there, so wouldn't have been familiar with either place.

after the crusty gen xers moved on, there were 2 waves of millennials doing our thing in their way in our old venues, and some new venues which were the same as the old venues. so taller better looking young people, but also sadder and more degraded in a way. Smartphones lighting up every damn corner. I dropped in once a year from 07-17, to the various bars, and you've see Alan Averill in a few places, and a few people in their 30s and 40s, but the spark disappeared in about 2006 in my view.

I dunno, if I had my time again I'd not visit any of those places, and try my luck in the 'normal' venues. Australian themed venues were big at the time if I recall.

Back on track, here is a band I have a soft spot for at their absolute best

Jesus the dancing. Mortifying. I still occasionally listen to Soul of a New Machine and Demanufacture and sonically they hold up but visually the naffness is excruciating. And it only gets worse for the Nu metal years.
