...And Fuck You Too

CATTLE DECAPITATION NO LIKEY DR. ACULA

 Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 2:33pm by

I don’t know very much about the band “party grind” outfit Dr. Acula, but I’m guessing I wouldn’t like them. And here’s why: even though “Dr. Acula” was initially a character in an Ed Wood movie and the nickname of sci-fi writer Forrest J. Ackerman, I’d suspect that the band actually took their name from this…

…and if you took your name from a joke on Scrubs, you and I now the very definition of “got off on the wrong foot.”

I guess the fellas in Cattle Decapitation agree with me, because after Dr. Acula apparently cancelled an NYC appearance with the vegan death metallers, vocalist Travis Ryan decided to voice his displeasure publicly. Full video after the jump.

So… wow. To break out the lap top and show the crowd the MySpace page and everything… incredible. Bravo, Travis! Bravo.

Now: LET THE FEUDING BEGIN!!!

    I can understand the disliking of the band, I personally enjoy them, but he’s probably just pissed mainly cause by them canceling they lost an opportunity to play to a TON of kids that have never heard of them. Either way both bands rule.

  • poopsmcgee

    oh no…i just listened to dr. acula…i think im gay now

    “…and if you took your name from a joke on Scrubs, you and I now the very definition of “got off on the wrong foot.”

    LOL. Yeah, Dr. Acula either got their band name from Scrubs (as you mentioned) or from a Mitch Hedberg joke (as the previous poster mentioned). They are these young kids from Long Island (where I’m from), and are pretty much considered a joke by everyone with a brain. They are friggin’ awful, but have a decent sized scenester teenage fan base around here (I think). Ugh.

  • TurdFerguson

    Why not just have Dane Cook open for CD instead? or vice versa?

    • Goopus

      Oh yeah!!!! Dane Cook! He’s awesome, man, funny AND clever…scathing! HA! Did you hear that bit about the noodles shooting out of the fingers?!?! GO DANE!!! Absolute comic gold, and he seems like a nice guy too!

      Yeah, and he yells too!

      Ha!

      Dane Cook guys, seriously…amazing, life affirming comic genius.

  • Dohoho

    Dr. Acula is band for butthurt angsty teenagers.

  • The Roan

    i see a thread (no pun intended) of hope that we can all get along on this thread. dr. acula is garbage.

  • The Mighty Fucking Quinn

    I’m not a huge fan of CD, but I support any band that plays anything remotely in the vein of actual death metal that shits on these fucking “party” bands that comprise of suburban white kids with gauged ears and call themselves every genre that pertains to heaviness. If you grew up on Korn and like to do inhales because they are “kewl,” you should be classified as “faggotXcore.” I personally as of late have been getting more into the older death metal bands that I should have been into ages ago, simply because I’m tired of being a 22 year old who loves metal and can’t tolerate 99% of new bands because they are all 16 year olds that would give anything to live in the ceiling at Hot Topic. Death Metal bands should be influenced by the bands from Tampa. Hardcore bands should be influenced by the bands that played CB’s Sunday Matinees way back when. Deathcore bands decided to take it a step up in “BR00T4L1TY” because metalcore bands were finally being put on notice. I can’t wait for 2011 when anything pertaining to Deathcore is legitimately considered dogshit by EVERYONE.

      You must be soooo proud of yourself for having such an evolved musical pallet. If you really want to act like a grown up stop listening to shit for the incredibly obvious reason of trying to make yourself seem cool because of your taste in music.

  • SonOF

    Holy shit, I just had to mention how much I hate those attention-seeking fruitcakes who go to shows and need to voice their opinion whenever possible (as seen PROMINENTLY in that clip). You are NOT there to have an open dialogue with the band, you are not friends with the band, everyone at the show paid to see those people on the stage perform, NOT HEAR YOU MAKE INANE COMMENTS because like a five-year old, you can’t sit still and LISTEN…you are wasting everyone’s time.

    Some people seriously shouldn’t be let out in public.

    • SonOF

      Edit: These are also the same people that think it’s funny to yell out “Freebird!” or “Raining Blood!” between songs at EVERY show. No one thinks this is funny, and the band hates you.

  • metalguy

    i wonder how the other band members feel about this 6 minute rant. seems klike the singer is taking more spotlight than they normally do. but it was pretty funny

  • balls

    Cattle Decap. doesn’t fuck around. I’d like to see their take on iwrestledafaggotonce

  • Travis Ryan is God

    Cattle Decapitation is one of my favorite bands and this video proves it. Not only do they play kick ass music but they aren’t here to get walked all over by fucking fake ass metal bands like this Dr. Acula. And I agree with “balls” some bands need to help wipe out iwrestledabearonce… im sorry Axl and Vince… but they are just awful… Psychostick is a much better choice

  • Brock

    What is funny is I went to Dr. Acula’s myspace, and they have a blog asking their “fans” if they should tour with Shitstain on the Universe all-stars Brokencyde. Fuck both of those groups. I am not going to lie, I bought Dr. Acula’s cd off of a whim without ever hearing them (by the way, don’t do that, it will only end badly) and it blew so hard, I threw it out of my car window. I agree with everything Travis Ryan said and I didn’t know why they were playing together in the first place, but I was hoping it would end in some dead scenester kids.

    • Patrick

      well said. I fucking despise Brokencyde

      hey brock you see this?

      http://mothersagainstbrokencyde.net/

      there needs to be metalheadsagainstbrokencyde.com

      I had never heard of Dr Acula until today and based of what people have said I’m surprised they were touring with CD. Granted bands sometimes don’t get to pick who they tour with but whatever

  • Cougar Party

    I don’t know anything about Dr. Acula, but fuck Scrubs. God i hate that show.

    • CrapMcPoopin

      Scrubs is great. It’s even funnier than that look your dad gave your mom after he punched her in the uterus while she was pregnant with you.

      • Cougar Party

        It’s great if your a sensitive pussy. I love the “I learned something” moment and the end of every episode with the cute love song and montage. Yeah, great show.

  • balls

    NEWSFLASH
    NEWSFLASH
    NEWSFLASH

    If you say you hate Dr. Acula but like IWABO, you’re a fucking idiot. They’re the same goddamn band with the same stupid asthetics.

  • justin

    video removed… anyone have a new link?

  • groverXIII

    I don’t care what you fuckers say, I like Scrubs.

    What’s that? Dr. Acula and Cattle Decapitation? Don’t really care about them.

    • CrapMcPoopin

      Scrubs is a great show. Only angsty teens who think its cool to hate don’t like it.

  • Anthony

    But Scrubs is awesome.

    I don’t know who i’m saying that to

  • Malacoda

    Aw, removed.

  • Ben

    Because disliking a band because of where you ASSUME they got their name from is not the most asinine, retarded, childish bullshit in the whole universe.

    • SonOF

      I think most people dislike Dr.Acula because they make shit awful music, not because of the origin of the name. The name thing was just another thing to point ou and hatet about said terrible band.

  • KC

    If you say you hate Dr. Acula but like IWABO, you’re a fucking idiot. They’re the same goddamn band with the same stupid asthetics.

    This. Seriously, you guys here at metalsucks go apeshit over IWABO, but you hate Dr. Acula? They are the same style of band.

  • B-dizzle

    Since the video was removed, I saw what similar videos were available, and found I’m on a Boat

    Needless to say, I watched it.

    Hard

  • Tim

    I hate this post, because as a result of the discussions therein I have actually listened to Brokencyde. I know how horribly cliche and old this’ll make me sound, but seriously what is wrong with kids today? What kind of thinking being could possibly derive any sort of positive stimulation or reaction of any kind from that horrible, horrible, horrible garbage?

    • SonOF

      I listened to them as well. I’m really blown away. I never thought there would be an act the I respect less than Insane Clown Posse, but these guys are the new winners. And there seem to actually be girls at the shows that actually dig this shit? Every time one of the dudes in Brokencyde gets head from a “groupie” a puppy dies.

  • Mike

    They might have taken Dr. Acula from a joke on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. If so, it’s not bad at all.

    • CrapMcPoopin

      There was no Dr. Acula joke on Aqua Teen… it was Assisted Living Dracula.

  • Santa Claus

    Judging a band by its name is pretty lame. I’d listen to something I liked even if it was called “The Bisexual Flying Dorritos” as long as I liked there music. And as for the point you cant like IWABO if you dont like Dr. Acula thats pretty damn stupid. Even if they play the same type of music, they arent the same band you fucking nitwits. It is possible to suck at everything. And Dr. Acula does suck. And Scrubs is lame.

  • Uglymicrowave

    I remember back when DR. acula played there first show with kids from my school in the band and they had two singers…three guiatrists…. two bassist and a shitload of assholes running around…now they try and take themselves seriously….there a joke band thats been thru 100 members….they blow….and need to know that….

    nothing can touch cattle decap…there the grindcore masters….of this century that is…napalm is god i know….

  • Selaphiel

    I could care less about either band, but I will not tolerate the dissing of Scrubs. Scrubs is great. I don’t care if all the hipsters dig it, or if the one episode they referred to Devildriver as speed metal. It’s still great.

    Y’all just a buncha haters.

  • poopsmcgee

    awwww now i just listened to bronkecyde. i waited to hear something resembling metal but it never happened. i feel really shitty now. why do we keep talking about these shitty fucking poser teenaged bitches. can we please just stop? please? its going to give me testicle cancer! and i need those sperm to make metal babies to combat these asswipes!

  • Steve

    They got there name from scrubs! oh no! I bet they wear black jeans too, I hate bands that wear black jeans….

  • SourDeez

    Mitch Hedberg definitely made the Dr. Acula joke first. And it was actually funny coming out of his mouth.

  • lawlalwl

    I don’t particularly like Dr.Acula, but they are kind of alright if you don’t take them seriously. I’m going to play a show with them next month and I’m super excited, not for Dr. Acula, but for all the possible scene kids we can play for. Exposure is exposure.

  • RyanK

    I. Love. Scrubs.

  • -gODGRINDER-

    Hmm. And here I thought they stole it from Mitch Hedberg.

    I’m not gonna lie. I like Dr. Acula. And Cattle Decapitation. And a shit-ton of the other permutations of metal.

    I like what I like. Fuck it.

  • stfu

    lol, seriously? they have no point to talk shit.
    There were only like, 15 presale tickets for this fucking show anyway.
    and dr. canceled off of it, because it got relocated to another, even smaller venue
    so they said fuck it, and wanted to actually get ready for a bamboozle
