I think I've just discovered the greatest rock band in history

I discovered this band on the Something Awful Forums.

I bring you:

DiSoRdeRly!!

http://disorderly.cjb.net/

DiSoRdeRly is a 14 piece Nu-Metal band from Ocala, FL that has been together for over 4 years in different incarnations until finally reaching the perfection that they are today…Walking into a DiSoRdeRly show is like entering another world…There is no preparation for the atmosphere that DiSoRdeRly brings to a room…the way they captivate their audience with their dark charisma and dramatic stage presence…From the opening song you are spiraled into a realm of aggression as well as passion…Around you the fans scream the dismal lyrics while others mosh below the stage letting the music command their bodies. Tim saying his final words of the night “We are DiSoRdeRly!!!, goodnight…” brings out the desperate chants of the audience, hoping this song is not their last…Time has passed too quickly for these fans and they demand more at every show…The band caves to the energy the crowd has thrust upon them…one more song…in the final chorus the crowd explodes for one last pit which has now engulfed the stage…

These guys are lyrical geniuses.

Now, lets meet the members:

And so on…

I think there are about 14 members all up.

I think this band is a slighty unsubtle parody, though. I mean, no one could be this stupid, right? Am I right folks?

I want to say “Yes”. I really do…

However, people really can be that stupid…

I live in Gainesville, which is the next decent-sized town north of Ocala. I follow the music scene here (which is decent, since we’re a college town), and I’ve never heard of these guys, or heard about them coming up here to play shows.

I think there is also a rap group from Ocala called “Thug Pimp,” which also smacks of parody to me.

That sort of thing really happens, with everything from the “Haw haw, we’ll use ‘vox’, right, instead of ‘vocals’ 'cause people’ll think we’re astute” to the rather obscene lyrics and phony poetic license.

This, however, is not such an example. You can feel the anguish he expresses as he contemplates the very opposites of existence; the ‘yin’ and ‘yang’, if you will. An obvious Shakespeare influence (Hamlet) can be seen. We, as the audience, should catch on that such anger can be traced to the fact that he is indeed “not fucked”, and we see the irony and fine use of word-play imposed in such a statement.

We would be privileged to hear more interpretations of the Human Condition from this rising young group.

I thought this thread was going to be about The Marshall Tucker Band-- Imagine my disapointment.

Cisco · April 25, 2003, 6:46am

Yea, DiSoRdErLy might be ok but I bet they don’t have anything on The Icy Hot Stunaz.

Wristy… If SA is still producing things as awesome as your name, I’m really tempted to beg them to let me buy another membership.

TwistofFate · April 25, 2003, 11:30am

Ah, weren’t they the best?

Fingolfin · April 25, 2003, 12:05pm

Umm, I hate to tell you this, but “The Greatest Rock Band In History” is The Rolling Stones.

Diane · April 25, 2003, 1:14pm

Naw, I was certain it was about Tenacious D.

Loneraven · April 25, 2003, 1:16pm

And I thought it would be about Nirvana.

Woe is me…

Biffy_the_Elephant_Shrew · April 25, 2003, 1:25pm

Actually, they’re the Grayest Rock & Roll Band in the World.

I listened to their song, “Bring Me Down.” ThEy 0//nz0r SLiPkn0t. Or however you say that.

Mars_Horizon · April 25, 2003, 1:38pm

Now that’s an odd way to spell RUSH!
You all knew someone was going to mention them, so I figured I’d get it out of the way!

heh.

All I have to say is, Wristy McSlashalot has the funniest goddamned name I’ve seen in a long time.

Lisa-go-Blind · April 25, 2003, 4:05pm

I think it’s definitely a parody. If you go to the website, everything has a (sic)–

Be SuRe To SpReAd thE (sic)ness tO EvErYoNe YoU KnoW…

DiSoRdeRly: Muse-(sic)

ThE TiMe HaS FinALLY ComE foR ouR (sic)nEss To BE Unleashed
to ThE MaGGots…

Which smacks of parody to me. Poking fun at the mere flirtation these types of bands have with correct spelling (as opposed to a long-term affair, I suppose).
Plus, 14 members is making fun of the bloated size of nu-metal groups. Aren’t some of the people in the photos shown twice? Not to mention that one of them, “Smokes”, sole purpose is “fog machine/booking.”

It’s pretty funny, though.
