Best and Worst pinoy rock bands

Recently, rock and metal have been making a comeback in the local scene and abroad. But like anything else in life, there are the good and the bad ones. Let me start off first with the bad ones, and i will limit them to just 5 bands. Just to remind you, this is my opinion. Here we go:

5. Giniling Festival - I've seen them in a live performance in MYX channel. Theyre not bad musicians, its just that, i think they're trying hard to be funny. Their lyrics are supposed to be funny but its more of slapstick comedy to me. I just dont dig bands like those. The only ones, for me, who can pull something like this off is Parokya ni Edgar. Its just funny coz so many people in certain music forums think they're funny. I bet they also find Andy Dick and Tom Green funny.

4. Rocksteddy - here's another band that is trying to be funny. Again, these guys can play, especially the bassist and the guitar player, but again, its like they wrote the lyrics while going "man, this is gonna be funny! people are gonna think this is funny!" i dont think it is, but i think Kris Aquino did. Then again, Kris isn't really known for good judgement and taste(Philip Salvador, Joey Marquez and more recently, James Yap). Oh, and the singer can't really sing well, at least not for me. He's ok tho, but nothing great.

3. Shamrock - I dont understand why they even try to pass off as a rock band. A bigger mystery though is why some people actually listen to them.....

2. Sponge Cola - WHY? coz the singer cant sing and all their songs are just your typical formula rock songs. Theyre not creative and not musically gifted as musicians and song-writers. One would think that when they were writing songs they were going "This is gonna sell like hot cakes to the masses! We're gonna be popular and rich!" The Eraserheads wrote "masa" songs, yet, no one can deny how great their song writing ability was. Not these guys. Theyre nowhere near E-heads when it comes to writing songs.

1. CUESHE - this is the worst overall band that ive ever seen! as musicians, theyre ok at best. as songwriters, theyre average, at best. as a whole, they're really bad. why do i hate them? its because these guys think that theyre the shiznit! especially the fat-ass singer while he's tapping his friggin' fat upper thigh. dude thinks he's hot and cool. my tip for him is: first, learn how to sing. the other singer who can actually play guitar is better than you. second, lose weight before you wear those body fitting outfit of yours. third, change your attitude. sure youve probably slept with a lot of chicks already because of your new found fame but then again, i bet these chicks are some of the dumbest chicks in this country. i mean, why would anyone in their right mind actually sleep with you??

if they actually take fat-boy off this band, they could get a little respect from the music community.

There you go. The worst 5 rock bands in the country. if you have any comments, feel free but remember, this is just my opinion.

I'll be posting the best rock bands tomorrow.

I don't know a lot of Pinoy rock bands. But sometimes I happen to hear them playing over the radio and more often than not, they're flat or off-key! How did they ever earn the right to be on air? Akala ko ba musical tayong mga pinoy? Sabi nga ni Rama in Poch' blog: bad singer! bad singer! bad singer!

hahahaha! yup! and i just limited it to rock bands. what more pop bands? and what about sam milby, jericho rosales and diether ocampo?? its just sad that they have albums just because theyre popular actors. there are so many talented musicians who are unsigned just because theyre not "pogi".
