Are the Offrspring truly inspirational band? If not, why is it that so many of these new "punk" bands they are playing on music video stations these days sounding so much like them?

Isn't it just a joint "ripping off Bad Religion" thing by all of them?

How did a band go so quickly to making fun of wiggers to actually BEING wiggers? Their take on nu-metal, "Defy You," was terrible, and the use of Redman on "Original Prankster" was unnecessary and pointless. They could have at least given him a verse.

Calling their new album "Chinese Democracy" = win 4-ever!

two years pass...

"Original Prankster" was only one of a number of wasted tracks that "featured" Redman around that time, although it's the one that pushed my roommate to declare "Redman needs to get a fucking job." As for the Offspring - Smash will never leave guilty-pleasure land for me (search "Something To Believe In," which has all the key elements of their sound in one track, for better or worse), but I think the only things worthwhile after that are "All I Want," and on a goofy day "Pretty Fly" and "Why Don't You Get A Job?" Everything since then has been an increasingly fried rewrite of those last two and it's not working.

Oh, and check out that great "Whole Lotta Love" rip on "So Alone"! That's kind of inspired.
