Once upon a time, bands tried to choose names that audiences would think were cool and impressive, such as Journey, Motley Crue, the Eagles, KISS, The Doors, etc., with images and sounds to match. Today, we have “Puddle Of Mudd”, a name supposedly chosen by this group when their rehearsal studio was flooded in a rain storm and literally became a puddle of mud. So I guess if a pack of wild dogs had somehow gotten into the studio and crapped all over the place they would be called ”Pile Of Manure”, right? How creative! How inspiring! And how appropriate!
Of course, today’s audiences DO think that “Puddle Of Mudd” is a cool and impressive name. Heck, in today’s world of total and complete lack of style and class, they are practically trend setting fashion plates!
Yes, I know fans of this band (and other bands like them) will say “listen to the music, it’s all about the music”. Really? Okay, I’ve listened to the music, and guess what, they sound just like all of the other whiny, one dimensional, repetitive, generic bands of today. The guitar work is generic, the songwriting generic, and the vocals are generic. They could be any one of a dozen other bands of the same mold.
I truly feel sorry for today’s generation for having this as their musical entertainment. But just looking at this picture of the band tells the whole story. These guys are rock stars ? In their sneekers and t-shirts, looking like dopey, blank faced dorks who just fell off of their skateboards? Wait, didn’t I see one of these clowns sitting on the curb in front of the local 7-11 the other day eating a 99 cent burrito? Heck, could’ve been! No style, no class, no talent. Congratulations folks, we have now hit “rock bottom”!
