Backstreet Boys

I don't think they're making fun of heavy metal. I think they decided, what the fuck, we're going to do the most fun thing we can think of, and if it makes us look completely insane who cares?

But I think Nick is a heavy metal fan. How's that for insulting . . .

[duskwolf]

Eh, I think there's a difference between looking insane and simply making fun of a thing...they showed the dude with the mullet picking his nose and acting dumb. And the choice of the name "Sphinkter" seals the deal for me.

They've made a comback? Too funny. Didn't their 15 minutes run out in 2001 or so?

Apparantly not.

Wow. I expected to hate that video but...

...damn. I love it. That cracked my shit up!


(And I can't tell my friend Birmie, but Squicky Kevy was hysterical!)

I gotta agree with you, Dwanollah, that was hilarious! Kevin's mullet is quite possibly the sweetest thing I've ever seen, but it's the lightning coming out of the guitars and vaporizing the chick's top that makes it art.

Yes but, unfortunately, the money started to run out in 2003. They had no choice but to try and comeback, with all the earnest emoting and power ballading that entailed.

Oh, I still like them. I'm not really interested in them as individual people, but I like the 'band'

Same here. I wouldn't know them if I tripped over them. But I like their music.
The new album doesn't have as many catchy hits as the others but IMHO there's not a bad song on it.

Yes, I have no shame.

[emersende]

Oh, dear.

Paris and now Bai Ling? No words.

ETA: Nick sure as hell isn't a prize himself but still.
