I Kind of Watched it for 5 Minutes
Here's some sporadic, completely uninformed notes from stumbling into the middle of The Next Great American Band:
- The host has a weird eye and a shitty accent - worse than Chase's, for crying out loud
- This kid band is pretty awesome. Hair metal Hanson.
- Hmmm, a goth band. Aight.
- Wow, a real redneck version of "Honky Cat". Nice.
- The Muggs freaking blow ass. They must be the token sucky artist.
- The Aussie judge is a poor man's Simon Cowell, which means yes, there are 2 Australians on this show
- Johnny Rzezeneizeenk is lying through his teeth right now to the Muggs
- Now we're talking. When a commercial for House is more interesting than the show, that's trouble.
- It's nice that they get to do originals, but...sheesh. Can ANYONE do an Elton John song with some class here? It's not hard, unless you ignore everything about the original recording.
- It really doesn't work when the judges are super nice and the band goes, "Yeah, well your comment sucks." Nobody is listening.
- THE AUSSIE JUDGE JUST SAID JOE STRUMMER WAS A GREAT SINGER. And then he said, "Good on ya". That guy is my new best friend.
- If Denver doesn't even get to play this week, I'm gonna be pissed. I just started watching. Come on!
- Before I even knew about this, I was thinking about doing a version of "The Bitch is Back". I stand by this idea. The producers would have let me do that, right? It's Fox.
- Thank goodness, Denver is on. Let's see what they do.
- Wow. Hatch is a bunch of sissy bitches.
- Hey, it's a band that sounds like a real band!
- Not really digging the original, it sounds kind of ordinary. The Elton John cover sounds rushed, the horns are nice and flashy, but where is the grit? The heart? Show your balls guys, I know there has to be at least one set up there. :P
- Oh my goodness, it's Paul Shearer. Way to kill that shit.
