Warped Tour '05 is on the FUSE channel and is a kick! Some really funny behind-the-scenes of some "alternative" (i.e. non-mainstream) bands on tour intermixed with their music videos. I got hooked the series awhile back.

Bizarre yet hilarious! I LUV it! Anyone else?

I'd like it more if there were fewer bands that sounded like Green Day and Blink 182 clones. Like hair band metal, that pop-flavored boy band punk stuff is getting long in the tooth. It's definitely in the Warrant, Slaughter and Steelhouse phase -just waiting for something new to come along and wipe the slate clean. And it needs to happen just like the way Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden and Alice & Chains killed off all those spandex bands.

FUSE channel for the most part is good. At least they actually play music videos there.

I sorta agree, Bobby... I like those you mentioned. BUT at least the FUSE bands all seem to have lead singers that can stay in tune and carry a note, unlike MOST of the wanna-be local bands on the internet. I like listening to local bands from all over, but soooo many of them have GREAT music BUT shitty singers. YUK!

I totally agree with that! Those bands STILL kick ass today with their "old" stuff... and there are many more that fall into that "refreshing" category...
