WITHIN TEMPTATION AND THE CASE OF THE CRYIN’ INJUN
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 at 9:00am by Axl RosenbergIn case you’ve somehow never seen it before, watch this old PSA from the 70s:
Now watch the new Within Temptation video. It’s probably best to put your computer on mute first, though, because – and I say this as someone who is a sucker for a good power ballad – the song is aural diarrhea.
The director of that terrible video for that terrible song is named Oscar Verpoort. But I will forever remember him as Oscar Verpoop, the man whose greatest cinematic inspiration is the “Crying Indian” commercial that starred an Italian guy dressed as an Indian.
Also, if you like Within Temptation, get to a doctor and have yourself checked for brain herpes.

lol – great post
I haven’t heard this song yet, but, you of all people shouldn’t be calling something aural diarrhea when 90 percent of this site’s posts are something I would recommend to my worst enemy.
*wouldn’t
Within Temptation is actually a very, very good band. This song is more metal than half the bands you promote on this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bqRn0rLq1c&feature=related
No, man. Just NO. I agree that half the bands promoted on this site are shit but Within Temptation… c’mon… and what’s the meaning of linking the video of a bad song that proves the exact opposite of what you’re saying?
I would rather listen to this than IWABO haha.. atleast Within Temptation are about something real.
I’d rather smash my genitals with a hammer than listen to this.
Or to IWABO.
i dont get it, is axl a big fan of IWABO? cause ive seen a few ppl talk shit him nd IWABO. oh nd dont get me wrong, cause i hate IWABO too
So they say.
ahh, i wondered what the crying indian on futurama was supposed to be taking the piss of… cynthia used to drink slurm :)
i have to agree with other commenters tho, whilst i don’t listen to within temptation, they’re better than listening to, say, fallout boy. shittiness is relative.

I have no problem with this.
I don’t mind the first 3 Lacuna Coil albums but man have they gone downhill….wait…who the fuck is Within Temptation?
+1
Fun fact. That crying Indian? Actually an old Italian guy. Serious, go have a look.

Yeah they actually mentioned that in the blog up there.
Aw fuck. Well, it’s official. I need an eye exam.
what the fuck? within temptation actually has a bunch of good songs, BUT THIS???
unbelieveable how so many good/average bands just turn into major shit.
one interesting thing is, that within temptaion aint gonna get any new fans with this, they’re just gonna lose alot of old ones…
P.S. Axl, what brought YOU into the mansion at 9 in the morning?!?!?
They were never brilliant but how the hell did they go from enter to this pop drivel… what a load of shit.
Did I miss something? What did one vid have to do with the other?
I don’t get it either.
But I also stopped watching the Within Temptation video about 26 seconds in.
wow thats selling out
That one song they did… Julia?… some girls name, I don’t remember… was really great. Top of the heap for me as far as watered down metal with girl singer bands like Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, etc go. Unfortunately, it sounds like nothing else they’ve ever done.
did she really say that she wants it to rain on utopia? stopped listening after that line of filth.
Within Temptation > Gojira.
It sounded like a goddamn Alanis Morrisette song.
Man Oh Man,I’ve been visiting Metal Sucks daily for well over 2 years now & not once have I disagreed with something on this site- till now.Granted this isn’t the greatest of Within Temptation songs but over all I think,actually I know,the band is awesome.Regardless,Metal Sucks is fucking amazing-even though your opinion of Within Temptation sucks worse then a Limp Bizkit cover band playing Nickleback songs while being covered in 450 pounds of llama shit.
Actually as a song, this isn’t bad material. As to be classified as any type of metal, I would have to say the rest of the album would need to be much heavier to allow this as metal.
I dunno. I like it, but old Nightwish, like 2000-era was better. But I wouldn’t say this is bad at all. The video… enh, don’t care for videos much. I’m more into the actual song.
I used to like their music about five years ago. The SIlent Force is a good album, I think
So is aural diarrhea a good thing or a bad thing?
I didn’t hate it. And that chick is totally hot.
And by the way, I think it’s interesting that nothing has been said at all on this site about Pearl Jam’s new record. It’s really good. And I know that they’re not metal, but that never really stopped MS before. Not even one post. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing or a good thing. Just interesting.
Pearl Jam sucks.
lol!!!! u must be very smart and sexy!
LoL, the guy who wrote this, must be very smart and sexy!
