Why does everybody hate bush (the band)?
 

Whenever I go on message boards or cd review sites, It seems everyone hates them. I know there sound isnt really original, but it still sounds good. Is there something they did that pisses everybody off?

I don't hate Bush (the band)

I don't have any albums, but I downloaded a lot of their songs. I think they're pretty decent singles band. They just never did anything too original to make them a great band (in my humble opinion)

because they suck.

and people tend to hate things that suck.

Glycerine is a beautiful song.

I think they're ok.

Bush eh? "Glycerine" is alright if you ignore the words and emphasize on the feeling and the over-used chord progression. As for the rest, there are a few sporadic songs that rock, but nothing that makes my fingers tingle. Meh. Not my thing.

Bush, eh? I think voting is a waste of time and an insult to the use of people lined up in an orderly fashion. Also, anyone who thinks he or she can properly control one of the most powerful nations in the world has to be crazy, so Bush isn't good in my book.

Bush, eh? I prefer a neat trim, though not a complete shave.

They seemed real engineered, to me at least. Gavin had sex appeal and wrote very little if any ( I'm not sure about this) of the band's material, and they borrowed their sound from a lot of American influences, which probably hurt some of their credibilty in the UK.

I have [I]Razorblade Suitcase[/I], and though I don't listen to it anymore its a pretty strong album though it's depressing as hell.

and it's Bush X.

Bush X in Canada.

I like them, gave [I]Sixteen Stone[/I] a 4/5 on Sputnik.

What he said.

Anyone see/hear Gavin's new band? They'd be mildly [i]ok[/i]...if it was still 1997.

Uh, I think they were a really good band.

Some really good riffs and melodies, nicely written songs, and they produced some very interesting "noise" sounds. They were pretty successful commercially, but I don't think that can be held against them.

As for Rossdale "not writing" most of the album...thats pretty inconsequential. Good songs are good songs, regardless of who writes them.

I like Bush, not enough to buy an album, but they were still good. As stated before, Glycerine is a very good song.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Why's that? :confused:

Anyway, really boring band. I compare them to the Bravery in respect to both bands riding the tail-end of a musical fad and bringing nothing new to the table.[/QUOTE]

Apparently there was already a band in Canada called "Bush" and they took offense to the fact that nobody knew who they were, so they forced Rossdale & co to release records under "Bush X"

They're decent, but a pinch overrated.

Rossdale's lack of musical contributions and the heavy influence of recent (then) bands are a bit too coincidental.

i like Bush, they're ok.

most people hate Bush because their live show is pathetic at best

Moby supporting Bush? Alt meets techno?

[QUOTE=NachoChez]I saw Cold open for Weezer.[/QUOTE]

Was that at one of the shows wherein they were booed offstage?

I don't hate them they just suck.
