SKUNK ANANSIE GOT BACK TOGETHER? SKUNK ANANSIE GOT BACK TOGETHER!!!

If you don’t know this band, fuck you. They were amazing. ARE amazing. I am now going to have pray ever night that they come tour the States. Preferably as support for Faith No More. Or Living Colour. No, not just because lead singer Skin is black. Because it would be awesome.
Now, for better or worse, I think SA’s biggest hit was “Selling Jesus,” from the soundtrack to the terrible movie, Strange Days. It’s a good song and pretty “metal” but there are a lot of awesome Skunk tunes.
Like “Cheap Honesty.” Here’s the band performing that track live. I’ll be sure to post lots and lots more Skunk Anansie videos in the coming days/weeks/months whatever as part of ongoing effort to convince you all that this band was, is, and always will be the shit.
-AR
holy shit that video is fucking terrible
band sucks shit
Hmm your right Axl, these guys DO suck.
On a side note, I wouldn’t mind having a post orgasmic chill from their singer, nahhmean man *wink* *wink*
Im talking about sex.
Man, it’d be nice if this site posted once in a while about bands worth listening to. It’s always these shitty alt/prog/rock bands that get the “THIS BAND YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO” riot, oh and God Forbid and Killswitch.
That band/video was fucking awful.
I must admit I was surprised to see you harping on about this band Axl….
I’ve always thought they were pretty average at best, gotta say I’m kinda at a loss as to what it is you specifically like about them..?
Just my opinion, of course.
I liked the song she did with Sevendust, “Licking Cream”. Yum.
dude, wtf.
I agree with everyone else above….Boo!
Maybe you missed the fact that they got back together because you were too busy being whiny bitches about Crazytown getting back together. You know, because in the internet/blog world it’s more important to be a simpering, whiny, trend hopping bitch than it is to actually post about stuff that matters.
And, yes, that was pretty crappy. So, yet again, them Metalsucks bloggers call their own musical integrity into question.
FUCK all of you.
i agree, this band is awesome.
Harsh words people. Now, I’ll admit that I didn’t particularly like the song in this post, but checking out there myspace page and some other videos shows that they could be a heavy band when they wanted to. I’m a bit of a sucker for a band that can genre hop successfully.
As for everyone complaining about Axl and Vince being whiny bitches, being trend-hoppers, and always trying to get you to listen to new bands, the whole point of this website is for them to be able to try and expose people to the music they like. Do I like everything they post on here? Not really, but I tend to respect the fact that the writers here do. If you don’t like their writing style or personal music preference, then don’t come here. It’s that simple.
Eh…..plz dont post any more lol, Im craving good music after watching this, why must you torture our souls! The drummer drums like fuckin animal from the muppets haha
Really Axl? Skunk Anansie?
For fuck’s sake.
saw them play with system of a down on their first tour in ‘98 in support of a sevendust show (back when sevendust shows were awesumm) and thought they were great, bought an album and was pissed at first. Then when i wanted to listen to something that wasn’t metal and chill out a bit, i put this in, and its waaaayy better than any of that hipster chill bullshit thats out today.
Let the man get exited, there’s probably worse things we could find out about him other than the fact he likes non-metal music too.
I’m confused… Skunk is good and Stange Days was terrible. Are you sure you didn’t get that mixed up?
Holy shit, I actually checked the date to see if it was April Fool’s day. I was CERTAIN this was a joke, but amazingly, it doesn’t seem to be.
Skunk Anansie was a forgettable, nu-metal abortion – they were even at the bottom of the barrel as far as nu-metal bands were concerned. They were like Primer 55 bad…Adema bad…Slaves on Dope bad…Videodrone….you get the point.
In 1999, if you went to a pretty shitty nu-metal show, Skunk Anansie would be opening. They would be the band that would be on while you got a beer and took a piss.
iolanach summed it up pretty well: “Really Axl? Skunk Anansie?” “For fuck’s sake.”
I also forgot to mention that it seems pretty hypocritical to constantly rag on Limp Bizkit and Dope yet have a boner for SKUNK ANANSIE for shit’s sake. ;)
Of all things…. I definitely wouldn’t call this band a nu-metal band….
I think some people are starting to take this out of context….
Why do you even feel the need to mention that. As if you would love a band just because they have a black singer. Then again…you probably would…you obviously don’t take a band’s musical talent or songwriting ability into account when you have a boner-fest about them. Fuck Skunk Anansie…they blow…hard.
I’ve always enjoyed a bit of the finest Skunk. Their singer Skin is easily their most talented member but a good band all together too.
fuck whatever i just saw
pretty lame milhouse
Axl=Stroke
And to think, THIS was Howard Stern’s favorite band at one point…
Not amazing, but not horrible. Pretty middle-of-the-road 90’s altrock (albeit with a kick-ass lead singer; that woman is FIERCE.)
oh wow. blast from the past right there… never liked this band at all.
Eric, I’m not talking about them recommending new shit. I’m all for that. That’s one of the lone, good things they do anymore. I was talking about them spending soooo much time bitching about bands they don’t like. Bands that, invariably, are not as bad as some of the shit they try to shill.
Did you guys ever hear that version of “Army of Me” they did with Bjork? That’s one bleeding killer track. Killer bleeding track. Reminded me of the K.U.K.L. days.
A few months ago, some rube tried to get me to pick the most relevant female singer in the game today: Hayley Williams or Cristina Scabbia. (In retrospect, I should have puked on their shoes, rather than just tell them they’re an idiot.) That was when I knew Skin had to get the band back together and set the universe right. Lo and behold, I went online that night hoping for good news and found that my prayers had been answered.
More pertinently, no qualifiers needed — SKIN RULES.
