The Worst Person in the World
Oh fuck it, the Absolutely Worst Thing in Any Category in Human History.
Gods of Heavy Metal (in Canada) Thor with their 1977...whatever it is..."Keep the Dogs Away."
That's pretty sad. definitely a band for the guys.
Speaking of pretty awful,what if Charles Manson had opened for the Stones at Altamont? This is probably the closest we'll ever come to it, in the most unsafe for work way ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=I9yHFAAhUq0
All you need is drums, bass, and a psychopathic drifter.
Pretty lousy, but not exquisitely so. Kinda forgettable. Just another crumby hard rock band with a stupid gimmick. Albeit really crumby. Ever hear their cover of "Sweet Jane?":-) JK.
And what about "Thunder On the Tundra?" Laughable shit, man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjl5SXBq3eQ
The mental picture of Merv Griffin being Thor's bitch is another thing entirely.
And let's leave "The Room" alone. That one comes real close to exquisitely awful.
Makes Spinal Tap sound like The Beatles.
ReplyDeleteDid he join the Village People?
ReplyDeleteROTP(lumber)
That's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHoly Christ!! Chippendale Rock!
ReplyDeleteCreem used to make fun of this guy all the time.
ReplyDeleteWorse karate moves than cheeseburger Elvis.

This if the first line from the lead singer's Wikipedia page:

Too funny.
He should have done the soundtrack for "The Room."

I just watched again after some delicious mood-improving homemade tacos. It's more exquisitely bad than I first thought.
ReplyDeleteThor is like Michael Blodgett fucking Herman Brood on steroids.

My brother actually had this album. Need I say that the purchase came with a great deal of buyer's remorse?
