Backyard Babies...What A Cool Band Name - NOT!!!
 

Do you mean it's a surprise that even a shithole bar would book them?

For a band going on 20 years, you would think they might have one hit album or even one hit song. No wonder they play shithole bars.

ADG Webmaster

you clearly have no clue what you are talking about.

these guys are from stockholm, they dont even release albums in america hahaha

fucking go watch mtv

they are on tour with social distortion, and toured with ac/dc - they did a surprrise show at a local bar

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I see your point, after working that lucrative Stockholm market for 20 years, why would they want to release an album in the much larger American market, even if someone would actually want to promote them here...better to let them play shithole bars.

ADG Webmaster

so clueless people like yourself can whine about it, and spread good music. :1orglaugh

remember this line.

i dont argue with people who dont exist

Yeah, beceause they totally strike me as the kind of band that would appeal to a broad audience. We will never hear some of the best bands in existance, simply because there are some people who are not prepared to compromise their music to make a buck.

guys.

just because they are not known in the US does not mean ANYTHING.

they are HUGE elsewhere in the world.

these clueless mtv watchers know shit

for example, David Haselhoff is still a multi platinum artist in germany. :winkwink:

hahaha, figures. german webmasters shaking their hips to his tunes. :1orglaugh

I went to the Backyard Babies web site and listended to their tunes (yeah, I actually clicked on the "Sounds" link).

After listening to them, I concluded that the reason the BB's play shithole bars is because their music is totally derivative and really pretty boring, either that or they have a pretty suck ass manager.

At their best, they couldn't even touch the one hit band Sweet, with their one hit song "Ballroom Blitz", either on musicianship or production values, let alone AC/DC and Social Distortion - both of whom make kick ass albums and deliver kick ass concerts...I've seen both of them several times (including AC/DC with Bon Scott).

I'm not sure why you think I watch MTV, because I haven't for a very long time, although MTV actually used to help launch many an unknown band with such shows as 120 Minutes back in the day, but I have long since given up on MTV as anything but a tool for the corporate music industry.

I was a working musician for a very long time, and have played guitar for over 30 years (and continue to play daily). I applaud real musicians. I hate all of the lip-synching, and most of the over-produced sampled crap that is produced and passed off as music these days by the music industry.

That doesn't mean I have to wave a flag for every unknown band in the world who claims to have not sold out simply because they have never made it big. I have never bought into the hipper than thou attitude.

One reason many bands do not make it big is because they really are not that good. Like I said, I was in the music biz for many years (the only biz dirtier than the porn biz) - long enough to know that not wanting to make it big is usually a cop out.

I'm sure Backyard Babies would instantly break up if one of their songs/albums was actually picked up in the U.S. and they became popular. They would never stoop so low as to offer Social Distortion or that popular MTV act, AC/DC a place on their bill, simply for artistic integrity reasons.

The bottom line for me is dig who you like, if you think Backyard Babies is the greatest band of all time, then hey, by all means support them. However, don't automatically dismiss it if others do not agree.

sticker on the latest Backyard Babies cd reads:

THE PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO SWEDENS TOP ROCK BAND!

"Sneering punk (meets) big-stage, exploding-lights arena rock..." - Rolling Stone

AS SEEN ON TOUR WITH SOCIAL DISTORTION

ugh.

but nobody said they are the best band ever. Just good at what they do and enjoy it.

I have no idea who they are, but they look like they could use a shower

knock knock....who are they?

nice pic.... :thumbsup

nice pic :P anymore?

Looks like a cool show.

Cool band pic.

They're not that bad. A baby is what a baby does.
Anyways, I'm more of a Tool fan.

Cool band name. :1orglaugh

Nice band! Now click my mudda fuckin sig!

fortunately not - he tried it recently again, but no one bought his shit. but i must admit he was - and that's disgusting enough. :helpme

Yeah, Backyard Babies are that bad. If they like being heroes in shithole bars and in their backyard (Stockholm) keep on rockin' baby dudes.

But Tool is universally Cool...Check out their web site...

Never heard of them.

Didn't Andy McCoy help the Backyard Babies - either by producing them or getting them known?

Never heard of them but glad you had a good time

bullshit :error

Backyard Babies.. weird name for this kind of group hehe!

Tool could you have picked a more fitting name.

So judging by what you say if a band plays a small shithole dive bar they are a shithole band? Only bands that play huge 20k people venues are good?

I've watched, Rancid, The Exploited, Ministry, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Nirvana and many others play in dive venues that can't hold more then 300 people. So that means they are all shit?

:thumbsup :thumbsup

never heard of them very cool pic

the only band I've heard of is AC/DC of all that were named in this thread.

I'm really into music... :thumbsup :1orglaugh

You've never heard of any of these bands? Rancid, The Exploited, Ministry, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Nirvana

I do feel sorry for you.

They are an amazing band to see live and really nice guys to hang out and party with.

I never heard of them. I'll try to give more attention to them from now on.

ya know, if the Backyard babies didnt have a Grammy under their belt it would make more sense :1orglaugh

fucking dumbasses, if it aint on mtv its not a hit?

how stupid you gotta be?
