What terrible artists came from your hometown?

[dashiz94]

So I just happened to watch the music video the Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles" to laugh at the fucking magnets lyric, but then I realized that this dipshit group came from Detroit, my hometown. So I ask you, do you know of any terrible artists that came from your hometown, whether they're popular now or in the past?

 

[Marter]

Nickelback is from Hanna, Alberta. That's close to Calgary.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I don't know about terrible but Attack Attack came pretty close from me.

 

[InnerRebellion]

Not that I know of...there are a lot of teenage bands living here though.

 

[bleh002]

Alexisonfire comes from my hometown (St. Catharines). They were also forced to take music lessons at my old music school since they were too inconsistent.

 

[Zay5k]

He's actually a amazing artist but Stephen Lynch came from my hometown, and school.

 

[senorcromas]

Well, I actually like him, but I hail from the school of Jimmy Fallon.

EDIT: Well, now I guess I also live by Coheed and Cambria. I... guess my town made out preetty goddamn well in the talent department?

EDIT 2: Oh, thar be a doozy! I was looking at the wikipedia page for my town, (HOLY FUCK MY TOWN HAS A WIKIPEDIA PAGE!) and apparently, John Thorn still lives here.

God, I hate that guy.

 

[capin Rob]

Don't really know.

 

[Quaxar]

Uhm... uhm... Falco? I mean I like him, but he's the only one I can think of right now. Isn't that sad?

 

[Iznat]

U2 are from Dublin.

...

Um. Ooh, aren't Fight Like Apes from Dublin too?
But I dunno how well known they are abroad.

Oh, and Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club. Who are very good.

 

[The Austin]

We the kings comes from my town. I don't know them, and I don't know if they suck, but I DO know that they come from my home town.

 

[Low Key]

Since the Twin Cities is basically like two smaller-ish cities surrounded by small suburbs, I'm going to include anything close.

These guys:
Not really that bad, but I heard way too much of the song thanks to them being from here. Kinda like Prince, but at least he is a versatile artist.

Then there is this guy:
This is the corniest song ever, and it has 25 million views on youtube. Ugh.

And honorable mention goes to:
I personally like the song and the group, but thanks to that Family Guy episode, a lot of people hate them. Oh well, more Trashmen for me I guess. You can't imagine how awesome this song is to do for karaoke.

 

[Julianking93]

Not sure. I do know that Samuel L Jackson is from here though

 

[Beacon]

This probably doesn't count but this fat, black comedian named Patrice O'Neil is from Jersey City...

When the most popular thing you've done is be a guest on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, you know you fail

By the way, that wasn't a shot at Tough Crowd...I loved that show lol

 

[AvsJoe]

I come from Finger 11's hometown and I'm within farting distance of Eminem and Kid Rock's birthplace.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Professional drukard and drug addict Pete Dougherty was born in my home town. He was he lead in the Libertines and Babyshambles. Not the brightest moment in our small town's history.

 

[Berethond]

Cher.

I win.

 

[Chainsaws_of_War_2]

A Day To Remember, but the only terrible thing about them is their newer albums.
