prayer for st. anger

i really hate using the title of metallica's crappiest album for my title, but i found it apt.

a few weeks ago, i vowed to contain my anger and hate and all the things that make me such an ass.
but something really, really, really irked me. it forced me to get out of my tranquil state and let loose a flurry of anger! anger! anger! anger!

It's that damn neo-boyband called cueshe.

I mean, what the hell is a "cueshe" anyway?!?!?!? it's sounds like something you'd rub your ass with in the morning, fer chrissake!!! And the truth is i would've just tolerated them anyway, but putangina namumuro na sila eh.

When they first came out, i thought to myself, "oh, SILVERCHAIR ripoffs, oh well silverchair's good. it's about time a local band paid homage to them". Stupid thoughts, i know, but i would come to later realize the error of my assumptions when i caught their video on MYX.

Oh my god. They were a fucking boyband. They were a bunch of trying hard assholes na nagpapapogi. And anyone familiar with the way MYX presents its videos would know that they include the lyrics of the song while showing the video. Truly? Madly? Crazy?!?!?!?! in love with you?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF SONGWRITING IS THAT?!? (i won't even add the other lyrics because they just SUCK). I mean, NOT only did they rip off something from savage garden, but they ripped it off and fused a rockstar persona with it. Posers.

And the interesting dynamic of putting this fucking gay macho dancer on their lineup is enough to make ANY, (i repeat, ANY) person with any sense of decency want to pulverize them. I mean, WHAT THE HELL? he sings two lines and then fondles the mic and starts playing with his right leg and hand. GOD KNOWS WHAT THE HELL HE THINKS THAT MIC IS. And the way he starts jumping is enough to make you want to get that trusty arctic sniper rifle and put a shot straight into that head of his. (yes! B- 4 - 6 - aim! snipe! PUTANGINA MO!!! PUTANGINA MO! BAKLA KA! BAKLA KA!)

Adding insult to injury, when asked that their song sounds VAGUELY LIKE silverchair's "greatest view", they responded by saying it was mere coincidence and that they have not even heard the song OR the band before. FUCK THEM. I don't know what's worse: the fact that this FEELING ROCKSTAR BOYBAND reduced silverchair to mushy, braindead rambling OR that this FEELING ROCKSTAR BOYBAND hasn't even HEARD of silverchair.

The next staple of songs to emerge from them were worse. Ripping off everything from Hoobastank to Simple Plan to Sandwich IN ONE SONG! AND THE LYRICS! OH MY GOD! THE LYRICS! AND THAT FUCKING GAY MACHO DANCER! AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!

now, i wouldn't be that bothered if they just faded into nothingness. the IRKING part is that they've actually gained a mass appeal so large that you'd want to pierce your eardrums just so you don't hear them day in and day out. the IRKING part is that to the public-at-large they are "the new sound of Original Pilipino Music", the IRKING part is that to everyone who doesn't know better, they are so FUCKING GOOD and they're at par with bands like Juan de la Cruz, Eraserheads and all the scions of the Philippine Music Industry, the IRKING part is that to everyone else: ANYONE WHO FUCKING USES A DISTORTION PEDAL DESERVES TO BE CALLED A ROCK BAND AND A FUCKING GOOD ONE AT THAT. WELL GAWDDAMMIT!!! WHY CAN'T ANYONE SEE THAT THESE RETARDED FAGGOTS ARE A BUNCH OF POSERS WITH NO TALENT WHATSOEVER!!!! (LALO NA YUNG PUTANGINANG BAKLANG MACHO DANCER NA MUKHANG REJECT NG MASCULADOS NA HINDI MARUNONG KUMANTA AT GUMAGAWA NG PERCUSSION GAMIT ANG KANANG HITA AT KAMAY.PUTANGINA MO!!!)

so what brought this sudden anger? why just now? well, like i said, i would've just tolerated them, but something grabbed my attention a few days ago.

CUESHE IS ON THE ERASERHEADS TRIBUTE ALBUM.

these are the ERASERHEADS, man!! PUTANGINA! ANONG ginagawa ng putanginang baklang poseur showband na yan sa kanta ng isa sa mga pioneers ng Philippine Music Industry?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

This is a sin far greater than ANYTHING that they have wrought so far. For me, at least.

You have to understand that the Eraserheads, no matter how lame their last albums may have been, have influenced an entire pop underground culture here in the Philippines. What true blue NoyPi wouldn't know the lyrics to "Pare Ko"? or "Ligaya"? or "With A Smile?" or "Magasin"? or "Sembreak"? or "Ang Huling El Bimbo"?
or (hehehehehe....) "Alapaap"?

you can call me a cheesy idiot, but i AM willing to say that these guys were my heroes. I learned how to appreciate music and write by listening to these guys. I wear my trusty adidas and converse sneakers with pride as homage to them. I dreamt of going to the State University because of them. I sing their lines when i'm HIGH or DRUNK or MISERABLE or HAPPY.

And now this bastardation comes.

KILL CUESHE. BOYCOTT THE E-HEADS TRIBUTE ALBUM BECAUSE OF THEM

Oh and, yeah, there's this E-Heads song called "Hey Jay".
I hear that faggot macho dancer from cueshe is called "jay"
Listen to the song, YOU FUCKING FAGGOT.

PUTANGINA NG CUESHE.
