Twenty one pilots

[Jesse Pinkman]

This is a band that has been tearing up the airwaves. I'm not particularly fond of their music, I think it's cheesy, but what really bugs me about them is the live performances I've seen.



Being a musician, our bread and butter is playing live music. We play our instruments, without any kind of background shit going on, etc. Lately I have people (young women mostly) telling me that this is their favorite band. I'm not sure what makes them a band, it seems like 95% of the live music going on here is prerecorded backing tracks. I can't get down with that. J. Cole has a bigger band than this, and most bands at least go and hire backing musicians to play the other parts.

Not saying they are untalented, or that maybe they play the instruments in the studio, but I don't think I could feel good about playing with so much backing music.

I don't mind them, for what they are.

But I'm also taking my time on my ride.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Terrible.

 

[Jesse Pinkman]

I'm going to call it as well, in five years, this group will fall off, and people will be ridiculed for having liked them. They're the parachute pants of this age.

lol, that song is probably their catchiest to me

They will probably fall off before then. Next album probably flops, imo.

I'm trying to be generous I guess lol. I remember thinking there was no way Limp Bizkit was going anywhere back in the day. I think the meteoric rise for this group will eventually turn into aging teenagers tossing out their equivalent of the red New York cap

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Pass. They're barely even playing any music. The speakers are doing more work.

 

[Decoy Octopus]

Hot garbage. Lame as fuck

There's some chick I'm facebook friends with that is always posting their lyrics like its Shakespeare. She's 25.

I would delete her but she's always posting under wear pics so its a trade off.

Exactly. Especially for touting themselves as a "band", the guy plays piano for like 8 measures and then goes back to quivering vocals and beanie wearing.

lol this. I hate when hot chicks come to my shows and they're like "Do you like 21 pilots? they're my favorite band" then I enter serious inner debate whether or not I want to continue the discussion.

I feel as if Twenty One Pilots are the poets of the fake deep generation. Those people who post inspirational jibber jabber all the time.

I don't even know her either lol. She was married to a guy I used to deal in car parts with and she randomly friended me. When I saw her pics I was like "this request is acceptable".

But some days its a really tough decision.

That's weird they would ask you that. Going to a show and asking the band if they like some other crappy band is like bad taste IMO. Isn't "yeah great show, you sounded great" enough?

Yeah, playing in a band is odd sometimes. I don't go to my bank and be like "Man, you like Wells Fargo? What do you think of them?" lol

It feels like a better question would be "hey, what bands are you really into right now?" or "were there any bands that influenced your writing/sound on (insert song or album here)?"

Yeah those are always good, I love hearing people tell me what our songs sound like, it's always an interesting take, cuz everyone hears differently, or some people totally nail your influences. I think it's one of those mechanisms where people have to have something to compare it to, which is cool.

Change the station if they come on. Their lyrics are dumb and their lead singers voice gets on my nerves.

All I had to hear was them use "lean wit it, rock wit it" in one of their songs and that sealed the deal.

Noooo, really? I didn't know they used that particular phrase

Lol yeah it was in their first big radio hit.
I don't even know the name of it though.

Yeah I won't really be googling it to find out lol. So I think it's safe to say that most grown men (I assume a lot of Sherdoggers are grown men) don't like this particular group

I love a whole bunch of poppy alternative stuff but these guys just blow, and live it's just girls screaming and they pull a weird crowdsurfing thing with the drummer on some plank of wood. I saw them with my gf and some other people and it was hell on earth for me and my buddy. I agree with the dead in 5 years analysis.
