I'm pretty sure that those aren't their real names.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;14844457]seeing as i'm not a close minded bigot who thinks there isn't any decent music other than metal bands like pantera and metallica and slayer, I actually like Hollywood Undead. because, you know, i realize that there's music other than TTEOTD or Suicide Silence, two of my favorite bands[/QUOTE]
I hate metal music and I hate Hollywood Undead. Stop generalizing everyone who dislikes this band as metalheads you close minded bigot.
[QUOTE=fragger0;14575308]One of them is listed as the producer... so they obviously class the production guy as a member. But it looks like in truth they have 5 members. By my (poor) logic. Also, Linkin Park make use of 6 members aswell...[/QUOTE]
Linkin Park only uses six members in the same way the Beatles used four members or Children of Bodom uses five members, since, contrary to popular belief, Linkin Park is an actual band (yes, they do play guitar, and one does drums and another does keyboard/electronics/turntablism. Plus, they do a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5qVpzYMM0c&feature=related]mean cover of Nine Inch Nail's Wish[/url]). Sheesh. It's always the "compare a seemingly-crappy new band to Linkin Park despite never hearing a Linkin Park song besides Crawling and not knowing the song is about heroine abuse instead of parental approval" argument. Plus, Linkin Park does [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYqI57zQZ2A&feature=related]straight up hard rock[/url] these days (short clip to prove my thesis), so calling them rock-rap anymore would be a misnomer.
As for Hollywood Undead, I never hear them on the radio, and when I do hear about them, it's usually to bash them, but unlike the people who bash bands they don't like, I'm actually going to look them up and listen to them for a moment...
*runs off to listen*
Ok, I see where the hate is coming from. I'm not saying I agree. I'd actually say they're catchy. Yes. You heard me. I don't think they're that bad. Though, I like rock-rap, and I guess it's an acquired taste, but that's just my opinion.
Hollywood Undead feels like Diet Linkin Park before they went for a 100% split between alt hard rock and alt rap with "Minutes to Midnight" and "The Rising Tied", respectively: the singing parts are far less aggressive and it's more rap-based. The rock parts feel more pop-punk influenced than Traditional-California-Metal influenced (as the case with the control group, Linkin Park). I can see how comparisons to Slipknot can come from the masks and the rock-rap-esque genre, but this is not Slipknot, so don't expect them to be: this is lighter and fluffier. It's like comparing Rush to Tool: two math rock bands, but one does good ol' prog rock while the other does a dark brand of metal.
Like early Hybrid Theory/Meteora-era Linkin Park, or most rap-rock bands for that matter, their core audience is the hip hop crowd. By comparison to fan demographics, The Beastie Boys are technically rock-rap, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6xsKsJqVyg]playing their own instruments during live shows[/url], and Austin's own [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnhgAk7PJZM]Dirty Worms[/url] only use the rock element as a backing beat, so naturally, they both have larger hip hop-based fans than rocker fans. Bands like Rage Against the Machine cross the line because they're more punk-influenced than rap influenced. As far as Hollywood Undead goes, if you're a rocker by trade, listening to them probably will sound as painful as I can guess, but if you've got an eclectic taste in music, like me, it might be a bright new day to know somebody's bringing back accessible rap-rock.
The only thing I think that can improve Hollywood Undead is slight image makeover: lose the masks/fake personalities (I have to agree, the nicknames are stupid) and infuse more pop-punk into the mix of 65% rap 35% pop-punk, into a mix of, say, 55%/45%, and they could be solid.
... Guys, might I ask what the pitchforks and torches are for?

What the fuck?
I'm sorry, I was merely going to ghost through this thread, but Hollywood Undead is not a single thing compared to Slipknot.
Fucking idiot.
They sound.

NOTHING.

And Slipknot is not a single thing compared to music.

[QUOTE=poryon2;14573438]This has to be a joke you cannot take them seriously, and why do they need six people?[/QUOTE]
Well, why do bands need more than one person? I am sure one person can play all the instruments at the same time if he used his feet or something.

Hi No One (:

[sarcasm]Yes, because your repenting argument was filled with intelligent dialogue.[/sarcasm]
Added sarcasm tags for the uptight ignorant ass-holes.
Wow. My ex used to listen to this shit. Look at them! They look like shit, MS paint their picture and right shit music almost as shitty as ICP!
AWFUL band
They're a guilty pleasure, honestly. Some of the songwriting is just genius. For example:
[b]From "Undead":[/b]
Cause I hate that you breathe,
I see you duck,
You little punk,
You little fucking disease,
I got H.U. tatted on the front of my arm,
Boulevard,
Brass knuckles in the back of the car,
Cause we drunk drive Cadillacs- we never go far,
And when you see us motherfuckers,
better know who we are.
[b]From "Everywhere I Go":[/b]
Wake up, grab beer, grab rear, shave beard
Put on some scene gear
Gotta get drunk before my mom wakes up
Break-up with my girlfriend so I can bang sluts
I'm undead, unfed
Been sleeping on bunk beds since ten
So if I don't booze it, I'm gonna lose it
Everybody get to it, do it, get ruined.
When I start drinking
My dick does all my thinking
Hoes want to be scene with me
And I like their big thick titties
D-Cups with extra filling
Take it out let me lick it quickly
Calm down it's just a hickie
I'll blame it on this whisky sipping gets me tipsy
Drink fast and enjoy your buzz
Take back streets to avoid the fuzz
I wanna take you home but your friends won't let ya'
I got a 40 in my Ford Fiesta
Buy beer or pay the rent
My signing bonus was quickly spent
So I'll beat my meat like I'm a fuckin' butcher
And I'll punk the pussy like I'm Ashton Kutcher!
Yeah yeah.
Everyone thinking they're serious has obviously never listened to 'Bitches'
^ I agree completely with this statement.
[QUOTE=X-HARMLESS-X;14554880]seriously, the chorus to The Loss.
I don't know why I cut myself, God, give me a sign or help, I won't cry, it'll be fine, I'll take my last breath, pushing out my chest till theres nothing left.
I mean, jeez.[/QUOTE]
That just makes the band seem worse in my opinion.
[QUOTE=EvilZombi;14931871]Well, why do bands need more than one person? I am sure one person can play all the instruments at the same time if he used his feet or something.[/QUOTE]
Well considering how incredibly basic the music is and how band it is it shouldn't need anymore than four people.
So of my friends like them, I don't understand why.
From what I've heard, their music consists of:
-Sex
-Drugs
-Booze
-Party
*repeat*
If they were a bit more original in terms of their lyrics, I might like them.
I've never heard of this/heard the music, but a member has a hammer & sickle on his hand, making it automatic useless.
This band... is awful.
I can't stand listening to these guys, there songs just are not appealing to me, and if I ever here another person start to go on about how great they are I'm cutting their throat wide open and watching them bleed on the ground.

what are you doing.
[QUOTE=Posessed;15022485]what are you doing.[/QUOTE]
EVERYONE around me is singing praise to these guys, I spent a week trying to get into them before saying fuck it because they sucked so hard.
I hated them when my friend made me listen to them at first but I dunno their stuff started to grow on me.
I wouldn't call them a band though unless they're live then yeah, but on the album it's pretty much mostly computer.
These guys fucking suck horribly, none of them can even play instruments, they just sing shitty lyrics over a butchered and molested Randy Rhoads riff.
To be honest I bought swan songs and I like them now cause I find them like a less gayer version of Dragonforce
Why did I even click on this thread.
God damnit.
