i saw them open for Primus back in the early 90's in Pensacola, and they were so bad they got boo'd offstage 1/2 way through their set - the lead even tripped on the cords on the stage. they were terrible - no real surprise here

I dislike everything Puddle of Mudd has done except for Blurry. Fight me.

I promise this to be a 100% true story:

I was waiting tables at Chili’s in Baton Rouge during college. One day I was putting my table’s order into the computer when a homeless man walked up and asked me for a lighter. I looked at him disgusted and said “no; i don’t smoke” and walked away. Then my coworker stopped me and said “do you know who that is? It’s the lead singer for Puddle of Mudd!”.

I legitimately thought he was homeless. Turns out Puddle of Mudd was in town to play a show... at Blue Bayou Water Park. And they ate at Chili’s first.

frick those guys. They were supposed to open up for Godsmack and Deftones in New Orleans back in 2001 or so, but blew off the concert to go be on TRL with Carson Daly.
I booked them for a party years ago. The singer actually sent us one of those rider requests like he was Elton John and we were Madison Square Garden. Stupid cliche shite, like all the brown M&M's removed. They got a box of MRE's and a case of water.

In case you missed it, I was never arguing in favor of Puddle of Mudd.

Made the mistake of seeing puddle of mudd at southport hall years ago. The lead singer was so messed up on drugs he could barely talk and stand. Im honestly surprised he is still alive. Almost as bad as trapt live. Same drug issues and we left two songs in.

Those higher-register male rock singers are difficult to emulate.

Ronnie Millsap would really nail this one. Wouldn't sound like he was passing a kidney stone even a little bit.

At first I thought this was an SNL skit. Then I thought the singer had tourette's syndrome.

No Kumbaya here. You should ask Courtney Love if she can help you work Kurt's shotgun properly.

I always found Nirvana bad so it kinda sounds the same to me. Yeah teen spirit was cool and groundbreaking when it came out but all their other stuff just sucks.

It's definitely an age thing. I would never expect college aged kids today to like grunge. It was a unique sound for unique time.

I love Nirvana but can definitely see how some people think they suck.
