Starring in that terrible Dukes of Hazzard movie that came out in the same year probably didn't help either. The movie had one redeeming quality and I think we all know what that one is.

I didn't see it, but I can only presume you're talking about Jessica Simpson. In which case, shame on you and your lustful ways.

Its complete trash. Honestly as hot as Jessica Simpson was in that movie she was miscast for the role, should've been more of a girl next door type. Then again who even wanted to see a Dukes of Hazzard movie even in 2005? The movie seems to exist to try and give Knoxville and Simpson more visibility in the public eye, him for the stunts and car chases and her for the obvious reasons.

Kind of hard for me to feel sympathy for that guy, and I say that as an unembarrassed fan of Jackass and its subsequent shows.

Same. And it seemed that he never grew out of that toxic twerp shit. But pretty much every character - especially Knoxville, Pontius, England, and Ehren - I find both likable and hilarious.

Knoxville looked like he was going to break through to other media, but he really hamstrung himself by starring in The Ringer. Maybe get a few under the belt before leading in a movie about pretending to be retarded.

The issue with Bam was he always tried to force other guys to do shit they didn't like (Preston with his heights issues and shit) but you throw a fake snake in there and he about has a mental breakdown.

Yeah, it broke my heart how sensitive Preston was about how short he is.

Ohhh, you're talking about him not liking heights.
 
that Dukes of Hazard movie did have the guy that played Shawn Spencer on Psych before he was famous, one of the only things i can recall that guy from
besides Psych, and the delivery guy to the Germans in Beerfest

Green Day sucks and absolutely did start, or at least substantially feed, the current pulling punk rock toward eyeliner-laden pop rock. Easily the most trend hoppiest band of that generation and genre group.

Green Day put on the best live show i've ever seen, and they did it wearing eyeliner lol. I haven't liked anything they've made since 2004, but also dgaf. As far as i'm concerned, bands can hop whatever trends they want. I mean, it's their music.
Remember when Radiohead got eviscerated for changing their sound? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Probably cause if he was in charge of the prank he’d have used a real snake.

Of course they're free to change their music and/or their style of wardrobe according to trends and what's popular. But I think it's pretty natural for people to respond by thinking they're kind of hacks.

FWIW, Holiday wasn't bad imo. But Boulevard of Broken Dreams....yeesh. Who knew that Wonderwall could actually be made more cringey and annoying.

I misremembered... they threw a real cobra in there with him that had no venom.



Dude is legit pissing himself almost.

"You guys are total dickheads" -Bam
".. Haha, are you crying?" -Knoxville
*sniffles* "Yeah" -Bam
"BAHAHAHAHAHA" -Knoxville

The thing that made Knoxville, England, Danger Ehren or however his name was spelled is that whatever they asked someone else to do they were willing to do.

England's one exception was the rubber mine gag:


But to be fair that gag wasn't England's idea and Knoxville and the producers let him bow out of it.

I saw them at peak eyeliner and it was insanely fun. They are outstanding live performers. As for the rest, I just don't listen lol. Not sure how it would make them or anyone a hack. From what I understand, they completely hit a creative wall and were going to breakup. Then they got a mighty second wind via American Idiot. To my way of thinking, the hackish thing would have been to try and force out music they personally didn't like or care about, not stuff that's just, well, pretty awful outside a particular demographic.

oh man jamming out to The Way right now. Mushrooms and listening to music from your past is like a mental time machine.

Damn, nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

Btw the best album from the 90s was Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse and it's not even close.

I always like The Moon and Antarctica better. But it's not much of a difference. Both are fantastic albums.
 
I worked concerts in college as event staff, saw some interesting stuff

First album era The Used were phenomenal live, as was early oughts Blink 182 (granted it was in San Diego)

Mariah Carey lip synced the entire concert but 1 song, and Randy Jackson of American Idol and Journey was running the mixing board

Two separate skeezys offered to drop knowledge on me to get on stage for Nelly and the St Lunatics, I declined and referred them to Staffpro security. 10 mins later they were dancing on stage...

Remember St Anger?

No one lets them live that one down. No one.

Papa Roach is another band that I get confused by how much their sound changes. Going from stuff like this

(used as the WWE Raw theme song for years)

And this:


To this


Then you have Jacoby Shaddix trying to get on with the guys from The Hu looking like the younger brother who's older brother finally lets them have a microphone:
 
The Ringer and Walking Tall are both masterpieces with Knoxville

Oh yeah and The Last Stand
