LOOK, I’VE MANAGED TO GO ALL THIS TIME WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD FLYFLEAF SUCK!

Whoops. I guess I just blew it.
Holy shit do I hate this band. It’s as though someone signed them for the sole purpose of making Evanescence look good. This chick who sings sounds like her name should be Avril Clarkson or whatever that little girl who makes me long for a Lilith Fair is called. Do people still listen to alt-metal this ridiculous sounding? I really thought Staind had killed this shit dead years ago.
And one of the members looks like a metrosexual Wolverine and one of the members looks like fucking Frankenstein’s Monster with a Danzig wig on. And I know that’s a mean thing to say and I shouldn’t judge people based on their appearance, but eat me.
In conclusion, if you like this band, you probably like Breaking Benjamin and I don’t think we can be friends because I’m just that shallow. Also, did I mention eat me?
-AR
Woooom lolzin’ hard over here….”metrosexual wolverine”…..fucking classssic…
Ok…that’s great?
I used to enjoy this band til I figured out they only know one chord.
They know a chord? They know more than I thought they did off of first listen.
Sooooo I don’t usually complain about much, but seriously guys… there has been ZERO talk over the last week about Nile’s fucking killer new album, but we’re talking about flyleaf, Slash and fucking Aerosmith??? Let’s move on from the stupid shit that no one cares about.
I tried to tell them…
Also, Katatonia’s Night Is The New Day came out yesterday. It’s awesome.
THIS.
The new Nile is fucking great. For some reason I didn’t like their last one, even though they really haven’t changed their sound. Must be the particular riffs or something, the new one fucking slays.
I 1000% agree with you about the new Nile. It is amazing and the best one yet. Kafir slays my soul…
Also, the Katatonia and Hypocrisy albums are also great!
“Flyfleaf”
I’m pretty sure they like Jesus, too. So there’s another strike against them.
Not again dude…. haven`t you had enough of those stupid religious comments ??
Hey, liking Jesus doesn’t automatically make them bad… otherwise I wouldn’t listen to Mortification, Circle Of Dust, Klank, or Believer. But it doesn’t help them.
I agree with Grover. But bashing on Christians is fun. Because A. There’s a lot of them, B. They’re all almost exactly identical, C. Easy targets, and D. They just react so well.
Thats what we anthropologists call ethnocentrism.
I call it “Repugnant Zealotry.”
well…. you may be right, only thing is that kind of comments are really getting old, dont you think ?-….
aaah by the way… I am Catholic, thank you very much !
It never gets old.
Perhaps someday you will see the light and realize you’ve been brainwashed. I hope so.
No grover, it’s US that’s brainwashed. Brainwashed by satan. Because a book, written before modern science and empirical evidence, which talks about mythological creatures, has it all right.
i don’t drink the christian kool aid either
I heard a stand-up comic put it best.
“Catholicism: If it feels good, stop.”
useless article
Like most of Axl’s posts.
na that’s not true he’s a good writer, biut come on just ragging on a band for no reason besides their looks is childish. a waste of webspace.
I never said they were bad. Just sort of pointless. They can be pretty enjoyable, but they’re not really why I would come to a metal blog.
It was pretty funny. I recommend he bash on Nickleback next, or maybe that horrible “Sexy Back” song that I hear accidentally here at work sometimes. It makes me run, screaming, from the room. Pure torture to the ear and the mind.
I’m going to get so much flack for this, but JT is pretty awesome.
WHOA WHOA WHOA… there’s trolling, and then there’s this. YOU’RE OUT OF CONTROL, MAN
Sadly, I’m serious. He reminds me of classic R&B.
ha. I like JT too. Sweet!
EAT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t say I like JT, but I don’t hate him as much as most of the other artists I hear on the radio. And he did make Dick in a Box and Mother Lover with Andy Samberg…
Thank you! Fuck this band and fuck breaking benjamin!!
Breaking Benjamin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Flyleaf
You’re like the people who compare BB and Shinedown
Oh wait, Vince is the one who likes Shinedown.
I agree. As far as post grunge goes, Chevelle and Breaking Benjamin kick the fuck out of Shinedown.
dude Shinedown kicks BB ass. Listen to Shinedowns last album and then listen to BB’s. Shinedown is way more awesome!
I like Breaking Benjamin… but on the other hand, I’m european so I don’t need to be as tr00 as everyone else.
If you’re European, I think you’re automatically born tr00er than Americans. You get a head start because of home field advantage.
Why don’t you have to be as tr00? You get an exception?

I saw these when they supported Korn (was a nostalgia thing) and the crowd hated them, i think the majority of the crowd was booing by the end of their set.I felt a little harsh on them as the last thing the singer said was “im sorry we ruined your night” or something. They did suck some serious balls though.
Fly Queef?
Can I has your babies?
No one should reproduce with you, seeing as how you like the Sexy Back song and are not using satire or even joking about the matter.
Oh waah. I’m into R&B. Cry more. So I have other tastes than metal.
And your retort will be something like: “yeah, I like non-metal, too, but that shit is awful”
See, I predicted this argument.
BESIDES that, it’s all down to personal taste, so judging someone who shares your main taste for the side-listenings is not only retarded, it is also an insult to your own intelligence.
Babies? I can get you a baby. Give me 2 grand and I can get you a baby by 5 o’clock.
WITH nail polish.
The same radio stations that play Flyleaf (FlyFleaf?) also play Breaking Benjamin, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, System of a Down and Black Sabbath. So…I guess if you like Killswitch and SF you must be a Flyleaf (FlyFleaf?) fan, eh?
Dammit… now when I see their name I’m going to think Flyfleaf. Awesome. And I have no idea why.
That makes no sense whatsoever. If your tastes are dictated by what is played on a radio-station, you’re mainstream or a poser. Furthermore, shitty radio stations will sometimes play good songs. Hell, I once heard Iron Maiden on Vancouver’s The Fox, which was the station on which I first heard the offal known as Saliva. And I don’t want to believe that there are human beings who don’t like Black Sabbath. I know it’s true, and it has to be, but it hurts too bad to think about it.
No that wasn’t my point. I was making the (clumsy) point that someone who likes Flyleaf wouldn’t necessarily like Breaking Benjamin. Whether you like or both or think both are terrible, they’re nothing alike.
When I was younger, I remember hearing Puddle of Mudd followed by Tool on K-Rock like every fuckin day. Sometimes radio stations sprinkle sugar on their turds.
when I realized which one was frankenstein’s mother with a danzig wig on, i damn near pissed my fucking pants. holy shit thats funny
Brilliant.
I know I said this before(I think so)but here it goes: The band sucks….BUT I wouldn’t mind fucking their singer in the mouth though!
While I wouldn’t consider myself a fan, I think they are more tolerable to listen to than most of the metalcore crap that gets heralded around here, like Killswitch Engage. Can’t speak to Breaking Benjamin since I’ve never heard them but sounds like that is a good thing.
I like both Flyleaf and B.Benjamin so I guess we can’t be friends.
And I am not a radio, jock, idiot.
I am going to school to be a zoologist, and am relatively smart.
Just because you don’t like these bands, doesnt mean they suck.
The new Flyleaf album is good, and her vocals are unique and she has alot of passion.
New Breaking Benjamin, while being their worst, is still a good album.
I hate alot of radio/post grunge/alt metal/ hard rock bands but the ones at the top are really great.
Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, 10 Years, Flyleaf, etc.
They are not the same kind of band that Shinedown is, or Hinder, etc.
I want to kill you for being so stupid, but I’ll point this out:
Musically speaking, flyleaf is retarded. VERY retarded. So retarded in fact, that your post actually manages to muster up more musical intelligence than they do, which is saddening.
Being a smart zoologist and having good taste in music aren’t necessarily related…
But they DO suck, those bands!
I have received an A in Physiology, Chemistry, Biology, and many English classes, but have never mentioned before it due to the complete lack of relevance here.
Ahhahaahaa…
haha…
I major in MUSIC…and FlyLeaf definitely sucks.
Just out of pure curiosity where are you from? Live now?
PatrickSTL that is…because all those bands you mentioned are absolutely horrible
The guy in the far left looks like William Muderface’s gay and non-metal brother.
That chick’s singing is godawful.
Their first EP was fucking great, but their shit just got more and more produced and their latest record is a pile.
Not to be a nit-picky fuck-head, but if they suck bad, doesn’t that mean they’re good?
No no, the double negative is “bad at sucking.”
THANK YOU! I’ve had people try to convince me about how this band is supposedly “good”. Their music sounded dated from the get go.
post grunge is all essentially trash. you can’t even compare any of them to the classic Alice In Chains Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mother Love Bone, Melvins (to an extent) and Stone Temple Pilots. Also i really don’t care for Pearl Jam much
And somehow you neglected the boys that started the whole thing. Mudhoney kicks the ass of every band you mentioned.
you know the sad thing is i don’t have any of their stuff can you make a suggestion
I’d recommend Since We’ve Become Translucent, Superfuzz Bigmuff, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, and Tomorrow Hit Today. Each album seems to get poppier and more commercial than the last though, so some of the newer records might not have too much appeal if you’re averse to a more polished sound. I’d dig their bluesier stuff.
Some awesome comments on this post….keep up the good work. Remember to hate yourselves…
P.S. +1000 to whoever said they want to mouth fuck her….lolz
The fact that Breaking Benjamin even has mention on this site, and the fact that AR actually went out of his way to write a Haterade article on Flyleaf worries me. We already know Flyleaf sucks.
I’d probably do the singer but then again my standards are pretty low. The only problem is she’s a Christian so she’ll probably go on about Jebus and my soul after I did her. I wonder if she’s one of those “technical virgin” Christian girls that believe in saving vaginal sex for marriage but oral and anal sex before marriage is acceptable.
Hey Axl, guess what? Fuck you, I like them. They’re my guilty-pleasure band, kinda like you probably listen to Brokencyde every once in a while and manage not to tear your eyeballs out. But really, I’m just following the band in hopes that the bitch pulls a Kristen Randall and flashes tits at the camera. Lets be honest. Tits totally make any band not quite as gay.
So any Dino Cazares project is automatically not gay.
Whew, just had to wipe my eyes. That vuz goot!!!
Saw these guys for free once…I think I deserve a refund for that show.
That being said, I like about 5 songs by them. I also like Breaking Benjamin. And Evanescence. SOOO there ya go.
I met a few of them after a show working in Milwaukee at the Rave. Not a big fan of their music, but they are VERY cool people.
Thank you! Besides the new Slayer cd and Modern Warfare 2 this is the greatest birthday present ever!
Seriously though, they suck donkey penis. I think the singer knows it. I’d whine too if I was that bad.
these assholes would prob like this too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM0oBuhTLRI
Thank you Axl. I hate this band, too. It doesn’t help their case that their style of alt-not-really-metal sucks; I, in fact hate them because they’re christian rock and I’m also shallow like that
if u dont like them y are they advertised on the side of ur page?
$$$
Mother of God do I ever hate Flyleaf too. That voice… every time I hear it… I want to stab my ears out. Her voice makes me want to stab my fucking ears out FUCK.
at least you got it out of your system. they are terrible.
