R1: American Bad Ass vs. Somewhere I Belong

[LoathedVermin72]

Kid Rock - "American Bad Ass"


Linkin Park - "Somewhere I Belong"

[Jorge]

I first saw the "American Bad Ass" music video on TV during a trip to the states. I was 13, I think. I remember really liking the part where the mud lady's butt jiggles.

Is that thrash jam actually part of the song? Or did they just put it in the video as filler?

I'm having strip club flashbacks.

As far as Linkin Park goes, you could do a lot worse than Somewhere I Belong.

The other song is by Kid Rock. So it’s an easy vote for Linkin Park here.

American Bad Ass is a hilariously terrible song. It might be the worst use of a sample I’ve ever heard. Like, they don’t even try to change it all. It’s just horrible rapping over a Metallica song. And man, I mean HORRIBLE rapping. Some of those lyrics are just....wow. Truly next level stuff.

Somewhere I Belong doesn’t do anything for me but it’s not egregious or anything.

ABA was the moment I realized how awful Kid Rock really was.

"Devil Without A Cause" is still a good album though.

vote for Linkin Park

Kid Rock will never not strike me as a joke that went on for too long.
On the other hand, I think I actually like Linkin Park more today than when they first came out.

Kid Rock is a buffoon but I appreciate that he seemed to have a sense of humor in an arena where dour melodrama reigned supreme. "American Bad Ass" is kind of a showcase for all his most lunkheaded tendencies, but Linkin Park always just felt way too whiny for me. Vote for Kid Rock.

Interesting counterpoint, KD.

[PHATJ]

Omg, these songs are ridiculous.

[Jammer XCI]

What’s the Kid Rock song where he wipes his ass with Radiohead toilet paper in the video?

That has to be one of the funniest disses ever. It’s like a retard calling Stephen Hawking retarded.

Omg, these songs are ridiculous.

They really are.


I'm voting for the Linkin Park song

[LoathedVermin72]

I’m surprised ABA has so many votes

[Jorge]

IT WAS VOTED FOR 7 TIMES

IT WAS VOTED FOR SELLIN' RHYMES

[Jammer XCI]

I seem to remember Somewhere I Belong having a cool anime-ish video. I’m not clicking the video links since I’m on my cell data at the moment though.

[Jorge]

You're thinking of "Breaking the Habit"

You're thinking of "Breaking the Habit"

Yeah you’re right.

Saw a guy with a Kid Rock for Senate sticker on his truck sandwiched between a Trump sticker and some other sticker that had too many words to read as he passed us. LP all the way.
