For our third spite band member, we're looking back to my middle school/early high school days when grunge became all the rage. The Pacific Northwest was booming with local bands breaking onto the national and international scene, none bigger than the breakout of Nirvana (I'm naming names, but none of this is a secret).

With Nirvana's rise to fame, the spotlight also shifted to Kurt Cobain and who he was "dating". And therein lies our next band member. A girl who had a difficult upbringing, including being exposed to heroin while in utero ( :naughty: ), she grew up to become an annoying side piece to an annoying band in Nirvana, as well as the frontwomen for an absolute trash band, herself.

On vocals and guitar, the Seattle Sockeyes are disgusted to select Courtney Love as our next spite band member.

@BernieParent, with Clapton, Gallagher, and Love, we now also have the name for our shit band: Cream Filled Oasis Hole.
Dang it that was my next pick:mad:

"No second billing, 'cause you're a star now. Oh Cinderella, they aren't sluts like you."

I didn't write those lyrics, and neither did Courtney Love.

We start the day with one hugely drunk bastard. @Rebels57 will wake up still wasted and then stumble off to brunch, so keep your powder dry for a while. @Asnito is on deck with a pair of picks before we turn back to Drunky O'Banks and skip onto the back nine. It has taken us three days to get there :laugh: @BernieParent is on the lido deck ready to just excoriate some stupid bastard with all that Canadian spite and greasy foul language he is always using. The other foul-mouthed northerner, CanadianFlyer88, is on the lido afterdeck just stewing in his rank juices, preparing something very mean to say about someone super random. He treats randos like pancake thieves, and you know what they say up there: "Steal my flapjacks, and I'm not waiting for the Mounties to round you up, eh?" Frontier justice, innit.

I have one episode left of "Single's Inferno." It really is something. You know how I said that these Korean shows (both reality and drama) are super manipulative with your emotions, right, and this is no exception. They have somehow managed to make me suspend my disbelief while this is going on and care about what happens at the end. They have only been on this island for like nine days total, but they have structured it cleverly enough that it feels real ... if you allow it to. That's the key, wanting it to feel real so you can feel something and enjoy the tension of waiting for resolutions. The other key is the people, which is the key to everything you watch. If you don't care about the characters, odds are you won't care about anything. I'm not saying it's good - it's not - but it is filmed beautifully and made well for what it is. And there is a white hot total smoke show in addition to the other Corsi Cuties.

I also started watching "Gangs of London." The quality of it overall has been pretty disappointing, and I think that's largely down to the guy who plays Sean being either shit at acting or miscast - I can't quite tell yet. But the action sequences are f***ing great. It reminds me of the unheralded but excellent "Banshee" from several years ago. That was a better show overall (and it came out of absolutely nowhere and was surrounded by all the shows of the proper Golden Age of TV), but there was a similar super high level with the action and the blood and gore. "Gangs" is OK to watch, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Once I get through the one season of it I will turn to "Justified" because Jojo forced me to. In return, he has agreed to watch every season of "The Bachelor." Seems fair.

I guess i'll add to my Spite Band

Has there ever been a worse band than Puddle of Mudd? They were essential in ushering in the ghastly era of Butt-Rock.

Has there ever been a bigger f***ing bag of dicks than their lead singer WES SCANTLIN?



I'd like to leave him a Puddle of Blood if i'm being honest.

Spite Band

Lead Vocals - Wes Scantlin
Lead Guitar - Ted Nugent

My crushing sports moment is the first one in my time as a Flyers fan.

The 1995 Flyers were good enough to win a Cup. The LOD was unstoppable. They were in the 1995 ECF in a 2-2 series with the Devils.

Then Hextall allowed a goal from outside the f***ing blueline with 44 seconds left. The Devils won, took a 3-2 series lead, won the Series and then the first of 3 Cups in 6 years.

I never forgave Hextall the player for it. I didnt have his 1987 run to fall back on. Hes done nothing but dissapoint me.

Lemieux Goal on Hextall

Just so many crushing moments to choose from.

With @Asnito occupying his time certainly much better than the rest of us, I deduce it is my turn to add to my Spite Band.

"The Tampa Bay FireSticks, still settling into a spiteful outlook on the worst of professional music, would like to look toward an egregiously bad on-stage error of one of the absolute brightest of musical stars. We have put John Lennon's significant other Yoko Ono on trial and found a hung jury regarding her contribution to the breakup of the Beatles but guilty of first-degree song murder. What about the apple of Paul McCartney's eye?



"It shall likely never be revealed who bears the most blame: Paul for inviting/allowing Linda on stage, Linda for accepting/demanding, or the sound technician who plugged her microphone in.

"We therefore welcome Linda McCartney to Cons' Piracy as backup singer/keyboardist/tambourine player."

And if this brand of Canadian nastiness wasn't enough for you, first, sorry. Second, just wait until you read @CanadianFlyer88's next draft pick.

Of all our positions in the spite band, the bass player list was the thinnest (read: one). With Sid Viscious, a true garbage person, off the board, we'll turn our attention to another band of my youth that I just couldn't stand.

Starting as a true metal band, this group ushered in the "glam metal" era in the 80s. An American band, they came to fame on a Canadian tour where their sole goal was to destroy as much property as they could, culminating in several arrests of band members on a tour stop in Edmonton.

I have shockingly discovered that they have reunited again for a new tour in 2022. Their touring again is as surprising as the fact that they're all still alive, given how many brushes with death they've each had. In fact, our selection here was clinically dead for several minutes in 1987.

From a shit band with shit people, the Seattle Sockeyes are disgusted to select, on bass and back up vocals, Nikki Sixx.

@Striiker, if anyone asks if you need to see Doctor Feelgood, politely decline.

I like Don Henley

Don’t let anyone shame you for cruising down the streets in the dog days listening to “Boys of Summer,” Bern!

I don’t love the Eagles, but I’ve never felt the revulsion some people feel, at least musically. They’re…..fine? Sometimes good? I don’t think I’ve actively sought them out since 8th grade, but I don’t actively avoid them. They’re radio music. :dunno:
