At first I thought the video was camp gone wrong, but now I am not so sure. I am bewildered. What does it all mean?




Music gone wrong?

The Refused.



That is a punk band...a great punk band...but not a metal band...

How can you even comapare a punk band to the tr00 metal prowess that is Hammerfall?

It is true that they may call themselves a punk band, but their sound is much closer to metal.

Their worldview is punkish but their guitar licks are more metally. Like the first song on The Shape of Punk to Come where the singer screams "I've got a bone to pick with capitalism...and a few to break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That is a more punk rock sentiment, but the guitars are then strummed in a most macho, bombastic, metally fashion. The Refused are one of the few metally bands I like. But they are too earnest to be a punk band in my opinion.

This is coming from a guy who vastly prefers punk to metal, generally speaking. And by punk I mean like the Dead Kennedys, The Circle Jerks, the Dead Boys, The Queers etc. not shit like Good Charlotte.

Good Charlotte is to punk what Bon Jovi is to metal.

And has anyone ever heard that "He was a skater boy....She said see-you later boy" song? Oh my god. That is the most trite, sacharin shit I've ever heard.

Only punk band i like is Propagandhi, and they are kinda like...alterative rock/punk. Oh and Municipal Waste but they are close to old school thrash.

The closest Refused would be to metal is Harcdore.

Propagandhi was a lot better before that wussy guy left to create The Weakerthans. Now Propagandhi has no melody or sense of humor and The Weakerthans are plagued by the effeminate vocals of the ex-Propagandhi guy.

Congrats!

The Swedish fans, some wearing flags as ponchos and foam curling rocks as hats, chanted across the building and sang the chorus from "Hearts on Fire,'' the heavy metal song their team appeared in a video for as part of their Olympic preparation.
