Fozzy
 

I'm sorry, but these guys are just bad. Reading Jericho's books was kind of awkward, just because he makes his band out to be really good, and they are just so bland sounding.

How does someone like Jericho, who is so into the music industry, not realize how generic his own band sounds? Dunno if it's just denial, given how much money he's poured into this project.


What do you think about Fozzy? If you like them you're wrong.

It's pretty garbage. If he wasn't Chris Jericho then half the people who say they like them would say they suck balls.

They sound like a cover band, which they were at the start, but everyone needs a hobby I guess.

I like Enemy, To Kill A Stranger (best song, I think), and Don't You Wish You Were Me.

Yeah, and that's fine, but it's become more than a hobby for him. Feel sorry for him, because he's got all these hopes and dreams for his band, but he's completely oblivious as to how much they suck.

I enjoyed them before I even knew Jericho was the singer.....

I like some of their stuff, yea i own all 3 albums only because its Jericho and i cling to the hope one day i might think bloody hell this is awesome but most of it so far i wouldnt normally listen to except a few of them.

I dunno, I think it's partly to give him some kind of leverage in negotiating with Vince, show he has other things going outside of WWE, I completely agree that he's wrong in his apparent belief that he is the second coming of Axl Rose but I guess there would be no point in investing all that time and energy into something if you didn't think it could go somewhere.

Eh, I've liked a few of their songs. A lot of their stuff is bland, but there are a few gems in there to listen to. For the most part I just don't care for that heavy rock type of sound they have no matter who's doing it.

I'm mad impressed by the guy who makes Jericho sound like a half-decent singer on the records, because HOOOOOOBOY does he suck.

There's nothing special about their work.

No offense intended, but "lol."

None taken.

Yeah, those songs were awesome.

Constant touring, and playing huge festivals like Download and Sonisphere aren't bad accomplishments for a band that "sucks".

So exposure=quality now? I think the reason they tour constantly is due more to the fact that they can afford to, and they get booked at huge festivals because having "that band that Chris Jericho is in" on your marquee is good for business.

I'm astonished to find out that there is such a person.

This is pretty much how I feel about them, but they're still better than a fuckload of bands making the rounds these days. If I had to listen to Fozzy for 10 years or Nickelback for 5, I'd take Fozzy.

I'm seeing them at a festival here next year that's being headlined by Metallica, Blink 182, Cyprus Hill, Linkin Park, Slayer, Anthrax, The Offspring, Garbage and Paramore. Fozzy are half way down the card, barely being promoted, and I haven't seen Jericho's name mentioned anywhere on any advertising. Yet, there's still a bit of buzz about them coming. Dunno, I'll agree he's average, but there are obviously people out here who like their music.

Maybe all these guys going to their shows are expecting a bear doing stand up comedy.

Band might suck but damn do they have some nice energy and it's nice to see a wrestler having success outside of the WWE. Wish more would have the guts to do so.

Are you telling me his name is never billed on posters? Ever? Anywhere?

And even if, the idea that the name Fozzy is not synonymous with "Chris Jericho's Band" to a lot of people is absurd. No I'm not saying that everyone only likes them because of him, but who he is impacts who they are and gives them a major huge advantage.

I gave Fozzy a chance with a few songs on youtube and they just come off cheesy.

Remember Raven's legal career?

That is so metal.

I would rather listen to Fozzy than a Zachary Amaranth record for sure.

"To kill a Stranger"....and that's it. Fozzy feels like a generic throwback had Jericho been doing this in the days of hair metal/glam Fozzy would probably be among the Gods of Rock by now.

but Kudos to them and their fans I guess.

I've never listened to a single Fozzy song

Fozzy is pretty lame. They are like a cover band's cover band. But at least it's rock and not garbage like that gangnum shit

I haven't watched the PSY vid, but yeah, I can only conclude from descriptions of the "horseriding dance" that it is a form of psychological warfare sanctioned by Kim Il Sung.

I was stoked when JR announced Fozzy would perform on Raw, and I even chuckled when their pig mascot, Arthur, spoke to the camera. I was utterly disappointed when Fozzy actually did perform... and as Fignuts alluded to, Jericho blamed the botched performance on poor venue acoustics and incompetent monitor techs, e.g. everyone but his band or himself.

Maybe Jericho should use Auto Tune, esp. when live?

They're ok, I preferred it when Mongoose McQueen was the singer though :-\

I was gonna be a dick and post the first poster that comes up when you google image search 'Fozzy tour poster' as it clearly states WWE Superstar (or something like that) Chris Jericho, but I love you too much.

They should of stayed a cover band.

Really? Because on TV they used to advertise Fozzy's appearances as featuring Chris Jericho before they stopped using the "Mongoose McQueen" monicker.

Maybe it does vary by country.
