Moving Pictures / Wow Attack Attack! 'Stick Stickly' Video Video Die Die
Posted by Steve Haruch on Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 8:20 AM
If you believe in a higher power, this might be as good time as any to say to that higher power, "It's time to destroy the Earth now. We deserve it." But until the annihilation of our planet, please enjoy the Bizkits, the synchro guitar heaves, the hair, the sameness of the dudes, the skinny jeans, the Running Man 2009, the "emotion," the Auto-Tune, the crabcore(!) and all the rest. Then go mindbarf and make peace with your maker.

Wow. Thanks for posting that. That was really cool of that lady to be in a video for her son's band. I wonder if she already had the piercing...
I saw this right after someone sent me this ICP festival promo:

We ARE in post-civiliization. On what day did the world end?

so let me get this straight... this poor girl is stuck in a house where these dudes practice and she just wants them to shut the fuck up??? I mean... she's clearly covering her ears. I like how someone pushes the Guitar Center button at the end of the "song".
Wow, this video has EVERYTHING! It's on the mind blowing level of locals Mike's Pawn Shop. Like a well tossed salad this song has chugga-chugga chugga-chugga chugga riffs working in concert with auto-tune, Nordstroms piano wizardry, club hoppin' dance break downs, ear-piercing screams and double kick helecopters. There is truly something for everyone...Everyone but me that is. Fuck this band of bitches and their ilk. Seriously kids, stop forming bands like this. If you are in or planning starting a band like this you should be hung by your toes and whipped. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Instead, go form bands like Eureka Gold, who are infinitely more talented and better looking...and write better songs.
Not that you posed your band against this one, Gold, but seriously, man, who are you to talk?
0:06 is exactly how long it took for me to confirm that I want nothing to do with this.
quit hatin' everyone...they are so talented and they are a religious band!! if you wana tlk shit then why don't YOU try and do what they do..o you can't!? too bad cuz
ATTACK ATTACK! KICKS ASS!!!!
Of course they're religious. Sporting asymmetrical haircuts like that has overtaken wearing a cross in showing the world that you're a bible beater.
I'm curious what you mean by your "band doesn't hurt children?" Probably, only the same 40 people have seen your band over and over, at, I would assume, places like the Mercy Lounge that are 18 or 21+. Try playing 'Eureka Gold' for children before you make that claim. If anything, Eureka Gold's wimpy indie rock would turn the kids into introverted dumb twee-loving hipsters.
This, to me, is far more insidious than inspiring kids to rock. Don't forget, Devo, Iron Maiden, the Ramones, most legendary rock acts had a same-iness about them.
I detest what 'Attack, Attack' stands for, too, but don't make stupid claims to make yourself to be cool. Were you bullied in school or something?
They're "religious" with a name like 'Attack Attack?'
Well, actually, now that I think about it... Makes sense!
Torquemada would be proud!
Carry on.
...
One more question...
They are "talented AND religious"... What does being religious have to do with how a band is perceived?
And it is perception, by the way... All are welcome in the opinion circle.
OMG... here's an alt video of the same... ahem... "song"... and this time it's a dude locked in a basement being forced to listen to them and when they finally let him out, he's trapped in a club with lots of douche bags with glow sticks! oh the humanity! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D8CPXVhNsQ&feature=related
