Poll: Who thinks that "Bodies" by Drowning Pool is an over-played piece of shit?

[loc978]

No, but Down With the Sickness by Disturbed... that is an overplayed piece of shit. Seriously, glance at the guitar tabs for that crap. My mother could learn to play it in 10 minutes, and she's never picked up a guitar...

Though Bodies is hardly Drowning Pool's best work, and it is a little overplayed... it's not terrible. Sinner is a far better song, though.

 

[TehIrishSoap]

Nope... I still love it, even after hearing it 17 times in 1 afternoon (god bless YouTube's creativity)

 

[clockout]

It does sit along with Linkin park or requiem for a dream, and that one techno song. Good metal song none the less.

 

[Rascarin]

Meh, I like it. I don't hear it all that often, either. So I can't really think of it as overused or shit.

Also, what the hell is up with the poll options? I had to vote "No, it"

You know a song sucks when a parrot can sing it better:

It's amazing when you're drunk and praying on unsuspecting victims to start a mosh pit on

Hehe, I hope you've got a group of mates who are in on it and so you can surround the unsuspecting victims in question. Otherwise it's just gonna look like one guy assaulting some innocent person, and the security guards tend not too take too kindly to that.

That said: moshing at inappropriate places can be kind of fun. I've got a friend who is somewhat as disturbed as I am. And we were out to this nightclub one evening that caters primarily to the scenes who enjoy dark electro style of music (i.e it pretty much sounds like your average techno songs but the lyrics are growled in a black metal-esque fashion rather than sung like in "normal" clubs) with a bunch of our friends and having a blast.

But since we're the two primary metalheads of the bunch and we're starting to get a bit intoxicated, our dancing starts to transform into outright moshing. Until I notice that some of the security guards at the bar take notice of us and don't really seem to know if we're just dancing or fighting eachother. XD

So I had to tell him that we'd take it easy least we get thrown out or something.

So take this to heart kids: Don't mosh unless you're in sufficient numbers and well away from nervous security guards.

 

[Totenkopf]

Is it overused? Yes.

Is it a bad song? No. It's not great, but decent and enjoyable.

And if you want really good metal, turn to something like this:

[Onyx Oblivion]

It's a lot of fun for custom soundtracks for games.

But I never, ever hear it.

 

[Jordanjay]

Yes... and it has been for about 10 years... Didn't mind it so much when it was first released but my opinion soon changed.

 

[Tips_of_Fingers]

Last time I heard this song was in my first year of uni (2 years ago) at a karaoke night at the student bar.

After all the scantily-clad, make-up plastered girls warbling to love ballads it was nice to see a guy with stumps for fingers and long, greasy hair screaming this song out. Personally I dislike the band and the song BUT it was amusing at the time. I had a lot of respect for that guy...

Never heard the song since though...and for that, I am grateful; but metal's not my genre of choice so go figure....

 

[GiantRaven]

If I could erase one single song from history it would be Bodies.

It's an incredibly poor song, there are much better examples of the genre that by all rights should be as popular.

HAHA! oh yes! i have quite a large group of friends who join in on it with me, mainly do it on people who give us the evil eye or are just plain dicks!

lol and never ever! try to get a bouncer in on the mosh pit as he tries to stop it, my mate ended up with a broken nose haha! I love kicking off with the bouncers, keep them on their toes and what not

Correct answer:

Anyone with a fully functional brain.

 

[Ken Sapp]

I'm seriously sick of hearing this song on the internet... it's not cool, it's not heavy, it just. Fucking. SUCKS.

Anyone else sick to their back teeth of this piss-poor excuse for metal? Feel free to post vids/links of metal bands that are actually good!

Actually I like the song, but then I don't generally listen to music radio or run into it alot on the internet. So the question is did you never like the song or are you just exhausted from saturation? If you never liked it that is fine as everyone has different tastes in music. It is even fine if you hate it due to oversaturation.

So, overplayed? Yes but everything popular is. Piece of shit? Not in my opinion.

 

[Weslebear]

Okay song, but over played so most people don't like it all too much. Really not worth a thread to whine about it, happens to a lot of songs.

 

[Guest_Star]

It does sit along with Linkin park or requiem for a dream, and that one techno song. Good metal song none the less.

Other overused pieces includes John Murphy's "In the House - In a Heartbeat", a couple of the tracks from the Matrix OST, Moby's "God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters", The Stooges "I Wanna be your Dog" etc...
And let's not forget all the god damn variation over "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi".


btw: fuck you captcha, fuck you

 

[Nazulu]

Definitely over-played but it's a pretty good song and a little catchy too. Personally, I prefer Tear Away, shame I don't hear that one on the net at all.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

HAHA! oh yes! i have quite a large group of friends who join in on it with me, mainly do it on people who give us the evil eye or are just plain dicks!

Waitaminute. You go to rock/metalclubs and find it surprising that people give you the evil eye?

I mean for fuck sake, we're talking about a clientel where at least ten people probably listen to bands who decorate their stages with pig cadavers and throw pints of bovine blood on the audience while playing. Getting the evil eye from one or two people in that kind of a crowd wouldn't be completely unexpected, wouldn't you agree?

Also, if you mosh-trap people for being dicks, I hope you guys still abide by the moshing code that states that if anyone trips or falls down during a mosh-pit you immediately help them to their feet. Otherwise you're being dicks yourselves, and there's quite enough of dicks in the world as it is, no?

lol and never ever! try to get a bouncer in on the mosh pit as he tries to stop it, my mate ended up with a broken nose haha! I love kicking off with the bouncers, keep them on their toes and what not

Naw, no use giving the bouncers a hard time. I mean sometimes it's warranted taking the piss out of them if they're abusing their authority (which that kind of profession sadly attract, since the people who become bouncers and security guards are basically the people who failed at the police academy). But some bouncers actually take their job seriously and they can be quite friendly and service-minded if you're being a bit sympathetic and don't give them a hard time.

After all, having to spend an entire night making sure that some drunk idiots (i.e pretty much everyone at the pub or club in question) don't hurt themselves or others or destroy property can't be the most fun job in the world. In general it's pretty dull to have to look after drunk people while being stone sober yourself.
