246.0. "Ugly Kid Joe" by LEDS::GRINCH::KALIN (Nearsighted Visionary) Mon Jun 15 1992 10:30

    
    	Anyone have details on this [California?] band?
    I just got their album, which is good, but short (one side
    of a standard cassette) and has one song which is getting
    major airplay on MTV, "(I Hate)Everything About You"

    I've heard a couple of their tunes and have liked them both.  They
    are in the process of putting out a full blown album.  The ep's
    popularity has caused them to try to expedite the release so they
    can capitalize on their current popularity.

    The only song I've heard by this band is "Hate Everything About You".
    
    If the other songs are like this song, then I am grateful it is the
    only one I've heard. Their single is as nasty as it gets and with no
    apparent purpose. I hate you, I hate your father, I hate this, I hate
    that... WGaS?
    
    This band should grow up, learn to play, and get back to me when they
    can write lyrics   that have at least a modicum of social value. Until
    then, my opinion of them is reflected in their song title.

    markey..
    I have only one thing to say.
    
    Get a life. ;') 
    
    Buy the tape, in fact i'll send you a 
    copy.  If you like metal , i'm sure you can find a place
    in your heart to like these guys.
    ;*)
    
    The only thing I dont like is the sound quality , sounds like the 
    vocals were really trashed on some tunes. I do agree however this
    tape isnt as good as it could be, sounds like it was rushed.

    They are a great band.
    
    Mark, why don't you just admit you hate Heavy Metal.
246.7WRKSYS::MARKEYGrand Parade of Lifeless PackagingThu Jun 18 1992 16:0322
    Wendy, I've got a life, even an almost Ugly Joe whatever free-life,
    that I like just fine, thank you. If you want to "educate" me in regard
    to this band, then certainly send me a tape. I promise I'll listen to it,
    although I won't promise my mind will change (although, stranger things
    have happened). For now, my mail stop is MLO5-2/U13, but you better
    send that tape fast as I may be gone in a matter of days...
    
    And Pete ... I won't admit I hate heavy metal because I don't (and
    *why* do you say that? Just because I don't participate in the HM
    conference or something?). Of course, you and I have a slightly
    different opionion of what constitutes "heavy metal", mostly centering
    around the fact that I'm at least a bit older than you and grew up with
    a slightly different view of this genre. Either way, I think you have
    the wrong impression.
    
    And speaking of wrong impressions, that's what I might have gotten from
    the song they're playing on the radio from the band in question. I
    really don't like that song; it does strike me as being kinda nasty.
    Being the one and only UJK song I've heard, I admit it's not much of a
    barometer... but you know what they say about first impressions.

    They are basicly a Scatterbrain clone. Scatterbrain is a band that
    does humorous songs with many styles of music drawn into to their
    music.

    Just for the info, Ugly Joe Kid recorded that EP in one day. They were
    just trying to make it like every other band but with one difference,
    THEY DID! 
    
    Looking forward to a real production.
