Dr. Fever



The Heartbreaking One
As I said before X, this has nothing to do with you. I am not attacking you in any way, or not attempting to. If you have taken it the wrong way either I have touched on something that is an issue or you have taken these comments the wrong way. In any case X, you are my boy...and what I am simply saying is, not everyone has to agree with you on every topic. That doesn't make them good or bad. Simply put, certain bands on MTV annoy you, others don't. True? That just sounds to me as if what you like is cool, what others like that you don't...they suck and are ignorant. Same is said about either of us. We use music to enhance our mood. We like aggressive, angry music. Just cause BK listens to Will Smith doesn't make him bad. But if you notice BK is never hardly ever upset. You and I our. Your next rant should discuss the time you and I listened to two wrestlers entrance themes because we were in bad moods. Music vs. Attitude...I would read it! So in closing, X, don't take my stuff personal, because it wasn't intended for that. It was to make the point that we don't have to agree with each other and our ways and likes and dislikes, but not disrespect each others to get a pop. Don't turn it in to something that it is not!

Dr Fever
attack the COLUMN, not ME. that's a pretty simple request isn't it?

The Heartbreaking One
Well, Fever once again your friend must make some comments(and these comments are my opinion so don't show up at my house ranting and raving) First, you know that I don't care for the music of Boy Bands. I don't mind looking at the Girls,...but man what you said in your rant is so one sided that even you "Rock 105 boy" should have seen the holes. I know that you like to bring out these tid bits of info that you read or store in your photographic memory for later use...but the fact is X, we do not have to agree with the music, nor like it...but why disrespect it. For example, is someone walks up to you and says,"X, the Wu-Tang Klan sucks, they can not rap! They are worthless posers!" I know and you know you would be like,"Bull Sh!t!" Why does your music have to be what everyone likes? It doesn't. Some people don't care about your rants. Some people don't care about you. But that doesn't mean that you are a bad person. It is an opinion. You don't have to agree with it, but live with it. Fact is you say boy bands appeal to the girls cause of looks and the way they sing and dress. You dress like Movie Personalities(Tyler Durden) You act like Movie Personalities(Dennis Leary),...fact is the list goes on X. You aren't doing that for you...you are doing it to make people notice you. To listen to your show at college. You own Limp CDs. I mean fact is Metallica is a MTV constant now, but you still listen to them. Same for Kid Rock, DMX, Slim, Dre, do I go on?? Why should the world revolve around you? X this isn't a personal blow but an attempt to make a point to you...It isn't all about you. The world doesn't revolve around you. And you did not introduce the world to all of your "cool" music. Need I mention System of a Down, Kittie, Static X, South Park, Wrestling/sports entertainment....Understand that these words are not meant to hurt your feelings cause you are my friend, but fact is I am going to be very blunt from now on!!!

Metal = Real Music
Clutch and the Deftones are definitely bands that I should've added to my list...I wasn't meaning to leave out anybody, but I wasn't trying to write out too long of a list. But what the hell...Kittie, Skinlab, Amen, Sevendust, Coal Chamber, Biohazard, The Deadlights...the list goes on...

Dr Fever
metal=real music...your also forgot CLUTCH. Marrry...You are my new favorite person! : )

a drilling
i also agree with METAL=REAL MUSIC but you forgot the DEFTONES 

a drilling
totally agree even though i dont like rap ilike metal except the s%it that limp bizkit trows out

dirty old man
'boy bands' and the 'debbie gibson' clones are nuthin' but a passing (granted, annoying as hell) fad. Remember New Kids on the Block?

name withheld
Everlast said it best: 'When little girls grow up, they throw out their boy band sh!t and buy Santana records.' AMEN.

Metal = Real Music
Slipknot, Static-X, Incubus, Soulfly, System of a Down, Godsmack, P.O.D., Staind, Primer 55, (hed)p.e., Black Label Society...whether you like all these bands or not, the truth is they're all a hell of a lot more talented than all the crap forced down the public's throats on TRL. All these horrible pop groups need to take a visit to the Ozzfest or Tattoo the Earth tours and see what REAL music is all about.

marryyy
ooh dr fever i want you baby

Zeb
Like the american hero would say....I'ts true, I'ts true..... Pop fans say that rock, metal n rap lyrics are a waste 'coz the're about war and violence...So, should they start writting about relationships and happy music? Well, if you can't deal with the truth or life itself, then stop complaining!! Let's be sincere, BSB won't stop wars or bring different races or religions together with their fake-music... I' ve always adviced to people to listen to wathever they want, but when it comes to say who are the talented ones...boy/girl bands can't be added to the list...if u think not, try to prove me wrong and u'll see that we (the good doctor n me)are right!!

Dave
This is too Dr. Fever....You say korn sold out yadda yadda yadda (i got that info from you homepage), but if i recall they said they didn't care if their new album sold good at all, they said that they made that album for themselves, (it's not their fault MTV doesn't know how to let a trend die) now to me that is the exact opposite of being a sell out. just my thoughts though.

Josh
there's not much to agrue about on this rant. Most of, if not everything you said is true, and you can't agrue against the truth.

Dr Fever
Here's one for all the people out there who think annoying little fukks like N Sync are 'nice n sweet'. I was at work at the radio station one day (yes, in case you didn't know..i do work in radio..the handle aint just a cute lil nickname)..anyway, i was reading one of the industry trade journals and they had a story about an n sync record story appearance. These little fukks showed up..smiled for the camera....signed autographs...and made SURE to take every 'hard made gift' that these girls gave them. Now, the twist. Afterwards..store employees found ALL of there trashcans stuffed with the gifts that had been heaped upon the members of n sync...apparently the guys didn't have room for the stuff in their luxorious stretch limo. So, just like the sprite commercials say..."Image is nothing".

The Rock
Personally, The Rock agrees with the good doctor. Too much emphasis is put towards girl- and boy-group bands......and there no attention left over for ME! 

GREEN MUSE
I AGREE WITH FLOUNDER. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG UPSTAIRS WITH PEOPLE THAT WATCH THESE SHOWS.MY GIRL WILL FLIP THROUGH THE CHANNELS AND IF REAL WORLD OR ROAD RULES IS ON,SHE MUST WATCH IT.DAMN ITS IRRATATING,I CANT EVEN STAND TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THAT SHOW.UGH OH AND BY THE WAY BOY BANDS ARE A FURTHER EXAMPLE OF SOCIETYS DOWNFALL 

Flounder
Yo Fever, I love your rants. I agree, Boy-Bands are a waste of radio time, Girl Bands are a waste of perfectly good silicon, and record execs need to boil in their own juices. If I may make a suggestion for your next rant. "Reality-Based Television." Shows like "Survivor," "Real World," "Road Rules," and all these 'making of' shows. I believe that these cultural ailments are ripe for treatment by the good Dr. Fever. 

ShroomDevil
Yeah. Let's just leave it at that. 

crystal4
THANK YOU....nuff said.

NamSta
Amy, I'm with you. Boy bands also give a bad/sad reputation to teenage girls...their fan base are mostly these pathetic teeny bopper young girls...and you get the impression that all the girls in the world are like this. They're not, and I think my last message kind of makes it sound like that. So apologies. 

NamSta
Listen to what you want, and don't bash others for listening to what they want to, that's what I always say. But boybands...the music is quite awful, but it might appeal to someone, and that's not really the issue. It's the image. The whole thing is so fake. The constant pointing at the camera while tilting back a little, the hip swaying, the constant chants of "Ooh baby", and the over dramatic expressions...the whole thing is just so EVIL. They tell all the little girls that all they want to do is get into their pants, that they really care about them, and these young girls just flip. Please, girls, I know you're all smarter than that. A while back I was making fun of N Sync in front of a female cousin, who got a little agitated and came down on me for criticizing the band, when I didn't even know what they were like. "Besides," she said, "They are really cute, nice guys." Cute, well I hear that a lot. Nice guys...which I presume she figured out when N Sync called her over to their place for tea and biscuits and then spent a quiet evening playing Pictionary by the fireplace and then dropping her home by limo before going off to right all wrongs by the power of their incredible heartwrenching music, which will stop all wars, end poverty and bring all the people of the world together and cause all life forms to exist in harmony. The whole get-up is so fake. They are larger than life, arrogant, untalented (debatable, but I think a lot of people will agree with me on this), money hungry, sex crazed group of individuals. Yes, maybe they can sing. But, like I said, it's not the music, it's the image. And Britney Spears... oh deary me. To all female solo artists out...is your talent questionable? Well follow dear Ms Spears's example and fake a knee injury and get your breasts enlarged and wear tight clothing on your next video... that way, the media doesn't really pay attention to your music. But I'd like to end with the straw that broke the camels back...on MTV fanatic, an 18 year old girl came on to meet Mandy Moore...who is...ooh...15 or 16...sorry, I lost my "Ultimate Teeny Pop Encyclopedia", so I forgot. Anyway, this older fan was all over Mandy, worshipping the ground she walked on. That, my friends, takes the biscuit. PS - Thanks Dr Fever for having an article that (for the most part) will keep people from arguing, and instead will allow us to read amusing boyband bashing articles. PPS- No offence to boyband/teeny pop lovers, it's your life (which reminds me of the Bon Jovi song, don't even get me started on that). 

Amy
>to suck every last dollar out of every teenage girl from age 12 on up...and younger actually. you know...there are _some_ girls with good taste in music...

SubXavier
*looking around, trying to figure out what the hell's going on with these posts*

JIMEE
Shut up Mike!!

Mike
Dr Fever sucks the big fat F U C K I N donkey dick 

ShroomDevil
Whatever happened to Alice in Chains?

MasterOfPuppetz
sorry Dr Fever but i have to respond to Suzanne, there are to differences between the tape trading thing and Napster, when fans traded m the metallica demos it was overseen by metallica, they had control over it, napster did not have there permission to give away there music, not to mention those copied tapes had crappy sound quality compared to mp3s near CD quality sound, now Dr. Fever, ill try not to mention napster again

smurf usually
right on.

ender
record companies are trying to make money off of these "pop" artists. And, they seem to be doing a damn fine job; although you're right in that the music geniuninely blows hard, kids (who make up a majority of the sales for these artists) are incable of telling the difference. To them, the image means as much as the music anyway. Regrettably, there is no way to stop record labels from publishing this shit.

Dr Fever
let me make crystal clear something for everyone....THE NAPSTER THING IS FUKKKING OVER!!!! that was last months column. If you're gonna agrue something on here...argue about THIS column. That's not such a hard request is it???

nofx
you full of shit and i want some women so all you wikliffe ladies email me jon6952@yahoo.com

suzanne
Ok, here's the thing w/ the napster thing masterofpuppetz, if you think about it, it's just the same as trading tapes, would you not agree? Another thing, I was kicked of Napster for awhile cuz i had some of their songs on my computer, but what Lars didn't know is that i already owned their CDs making the copies on my computer perfectly legal. What I'm trying to say is Napster is not at all hurting Metallica's business, if anything, they are helping them out.

MasterOfPuppetz
by the way, about metallica, they only want to get paid for what they do, although it may seem so great the Rock Star life isnt so great, going on tour and being away from your families for months at a time, not to mention having to be bothered when your in public by fans everywhere you go, they also work very hard in the studio, so they deserve to be rich, and yes napster is stealing, getting something you didnt pay for is wrong, there not after napster for the money, its a moral issue, and P.S. you say metallica isnt making music for the music anymore, funny, BSB doesent make music at all...

MasterOfPuppetz
IT WORKED! I GOT ONE, anyway the reason I bash BSB is not there music, if you wanna like bubblegum pop (crap in my opinion) thats fine, but when the band doesent write there own music, that pisses me off, theres plenty of people who can sing and dance and they can be in a vegas show or something if you dont have songwriting talent than you shouldent be in the music business. not to mention most fans dont give a damn about the music there just interested in how "cute" the members our and thats more important to them, which is stupid

SubXavier
Shroom, your post is rather artsy to claim that art is dead.

Dr Fever
yes, i do talk a lot of shyt..and no, i don't hate everything. You want to know what i do like? well...lets see..metallica, clutch, system of a down, all for nothing, down to none, boy sets fire, snapcase, hot water music, the dillinger escape plan, hatebreed, SLAYER, zao, bloodjinn, the step kings, wu tang clan, nirvana, wolfpac, P.O.D., sepultura (old..w/ max), soulfly, nashville pu$$y and so forth and so on...now, do i like Rammstein?? hell no..and, as far as your suggestion Dr D, well, sorry...your mom already beat me to the punch on taking it like a man, guess i'll wait till next time..hate to disappoint you.

Dr. D
Dr Fever, do you like Rammstein? do you like Songs about German Boys into leather and sodomy? well then bend over and take it like a man!

ShroomDevil
All music is an image, and no honesty is involved. The little honesty that is involved only reveals shallow sex-driven individuals. Music is dead. Honesty is gone. Art is joke. Isn't it sad? No one thinks it's bad.

MeThinks
me thinks Dr.Fever talks more sh!t than La Toya Jackson!

SubXavier
Well, I, for one, *don't* listen to music I don't like. What boy bands aren't in it for the money, and why is it so wrong for Metallica to want the fruits of their efforts delivered to them? And music *is* sometimes meant to be a statement, political, religious (or sacreligious), musical or personal, and some of the songs I've heard from boy bands actually do present a statement. *shrug* It all depends on which way you want the statement presented. Of course, some statements are not accessible via BSB, N*Sync, etc. You could probably guess as to which ones. 

drpepper
Can I ask u a question Dr. Fever, is there anyone or anything you do like?..Explosives, Fire, etc. I consider myself to be well educated in the world of music. I enjoy the whole music thing. I will be the first to tell you that at one time I didnt care for the boy bands myself and there is a few I still cant handle (lfo, bbmak) and well christina agulera she is a joke gone really bad. I appreciate these boys talents, they can sing, and they can dance. I enjoy what they do, when they do it. I only came on this web site because your master of puppets came to the bsb site and started flipping out. I think if you dont like the boy bands, then dont listen to them. Geez, get a freakin life already. I have a full-time job and think I am mature enough to know the difference. Lou Pearlman is money hungry, therefore he invented the Making The Band show. He doesnt care about any of those boys. I hope they go far. I know what its like to want something so badly and work hard for it. Apparently you dont understand that concept. Best of wishes to you. Please take my advice you need to chill out on this band thing before you stroke out. Music is to free your mind, body and spirit not to make a political statement. What happened to Metallica making music to make music, before they started they didnt care who got their music now its all about the money to them. They dont want anyone having their music for free, that is pathetic!! They have made enough off of the world to live good til the end. They should think about that. Chill out Doc. I aint mad 'attcha. 

MasterOfPuppetz
Fred can sing (somewhat good) when he wants to, but instead he raps 90% of the time, he sings in rearanged and in my favorite LB song Stalemate (great song) off the first album before there music got way weaker so they could make TRL easier, that first LB album was really heavy and really sweet but the second one was really weak in comparison, but yes stained is a hell of a lot better than LB, (I Love the song Spleen). and your right Dr. Fever, if you like rap its better to say so than be a poser and lie about it P.S. (still working on the teenybopper thing)

Soulight
Fred is a freak whgo cant sing they should kick him out and get a new singer. Check otu www.sicmaggot.com for kill fred stuyff. Dr. Fever ever consider writing for a local paper cuz your good at it

SubXavier
Hey, at least we all (or most of us anyway) respect eachother's opinion. And while I'm on that, here's one of mine: Fred Durst cannot sing. Want a similar band with a singer? Listen to Staind. Want rapcore? Listen to Bizkit.

GREEN MUSE
I THINK RAP USED TO BE NOT SO BAD LIKE ROCK MUSIC,WHAT RAP IS NOW IS LIKE WHAT ROCK WAS IN THE 80'S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND SEX,DONT GET ME WRONG I LIKE BOTH,BUT DO I REALLY NEED TO HEAR ABOUT IT MUSIC? I THINK NOT.I BELIVE THAT MUSIC SHOULD HAVE A MEANING,NOT AN IMAGE.ALSO JAY Z IS TERRIBLE HERE IN MAIMI THAT BIG PIMPIN SONG IS PLAYED ON AT LEAST ONE RADIO STATION AT ANY TIME. UGH THE STATE OF MUSIC IS DEPRESSING. 

S8un
Hey Fever...I must say I agree with most of what you said (I especially enjoyed the bits on Limp Bizkit). I really don't like rap, but thanks for being truthful. PS...DowN WitH ConformitY

Dr Fever
master of puppets..yeah, i like rap...had to honest..one thing i can't stand is someone who lies about the music they listen to only cuz they think they'll be ridiculed...so, like i said..just being honest... and timebomb...no, i don't hate everything...but....fred durst is a no talent hack who needs to die. ALSO, keep up the idea of getting teeny bopper bytches in here...that would be priceless!!!!

MasterOfPuppetz
HEY EVERYONE THOSE GIRLS PRETTY MUCH IGNORED ME SO EVERYONE GO TO BACKSTREETBOYS.COM AND TRY TO GET THEM TO COME HERE

Metal Wolf
I agree with the insults to MTV.But I have to go with MasterOfPuppetz, rap is pretty repeative. All the rap songs I hear all have the swears in alphabetical order. These rap fans pay money too here this guy swear his balls out just to get a cheap cheer from the fans.Rap talks about killing, booty(you can say), pimping, and beating up. Rap is as much variety as Country music. And I rather country better than rap. But you are right about Fred Durst, and the other Teeny bopers.But in my view, Rap is Crap.

MasterOfPuppetz
hey i just had a great idea, im gonna go to a bsb chat room and piss a bunch of chicks of and get them to come here and argue with us, after all you know very few bsb fans come to antimusic so ill have to get them here myself, i wanna argue with these idiots so bad

MasterOfPuppetz
-continued- "gang violence" or "How rich They are" there are exceptions as in eminems case but thats what a hell of a big chunk of it is about, the music in most cases is just sampled from someone else, the rappers cant sing, they just talk fast to a beat, overall its pathetic, even your hated fred durst is more talented than most rappers cause at least he can sing, all rappers can do is rhime which the average first grader can do as well, bottem line I CANT STAND RAP! as far as everything else about boybands and britney spears, I Couldnt agree more, but RAP? i am sickened, see and i usually agree with you on everything to, but not this time i guess =P

MasterOfPuppetz
what the hell is going on i wasnt finished?

MazterOfPuppetz
OH DEAR, you dissapoint me dr. Fever, RAP? RAP? you like RAP? LYRACISTS? this is the biggest thing about rap that pisses me off, you call rappers lyracists, BULL SHIT, content of a rap song will 90% of the time be about "booty" "G

SubXavier
Let's see... couldn't agree with you more on the boy band thing. Rappers... yeah, a few could lose the fake ghetto image style. Courtney Love needs her vocal chords removed... same with Fred... his hands, too. No means of communication is allowed for him. Britney, definitely, but Christina... yes, it's pre-constructed, overproduced pop... but at least she can actually sing.

Time bomb
gezz dude do you like hate everything? lb is da bomb!
