*This originally ran on Buddyhead in August 2003

Here it is folks… another batch of LETTERS TO BUDDYHEAD that we actually made time for in between huffing paint to answer. To entertain all you internet geeks out there, we grabbed random emails sent to us over the last few months and Travis answered them the best he could. Of course, all the really juicy and interesting letters involving people who want to either sue us or kill us we aren’t allowed to post due to legal reasons. Our straight edge lawyer said he’d “firestorm” our asses. Those letters are the really fun ones too, so if you really need to experience these, maybe you can bribe a peek at them out of us with an offer of young hairless Philippino virgin boys. If you too would like to be a LETTERS TO BUDDYHEAD celebrity, just make yourself look really stupid by sending us your opinion on anything in life to: tmk@Buddyhead.com, or use the postman dude:
Buddyhead/po box 1268/Hollywood, Ca/90078.
Just remember that when you send us something, that just like every porno featuring bomb gay dudes, we own all of it. Like we’ve said before, none of these letters are made up. It’s frightening, we know. Ok… don’t get scared…

Subject: KILL FAT BASS PLAYERS

I would like to join your crusade against fat bass players. Fat asses who claim to be musicians that can’t move around, but only make goofy faces instead have no place in this world. And also, in addition to the bassist from NFG and AAF, you can’t forget about the bassist from Korn. He’s a fatass, and his band truly sucks donkey balls. And also, the bass player from NOFX, his name is Fat mike, but he’s not that fat, we should kill him for false advertisement.

Weekly meetings for the “KILL FAT BASS PLAYERS” club are held every Friday evening at the Buddyhead Office on Sunsete. Besides holding group discussions on fat bass players that need to die, it’s a pot luck as well, so bring a tasty dish.

hey aaron (or whoever is reading this) it has taken us forever to try and track you down… we had an old phone number for you and every time we called we just got this answering machine…finally one day when i was calling this person freaked out on the phone and started yelling at us…needless to say we decided that was no longer the number to reach you, or anyone affiliated with buddyhead for that matter, at. so what is your new number…what’s your address…have you been receiving our releases…you should have gotten the dragons ‘rock n roll kamikaze’, stinking lizaveta, hector zazou/ sandy dillon, and stretch armstrong…were you able to do coverage on any of them…please get back to us so we can update our contact information…i really hope to hear from you soon…

Yeah dude, the person who “freaked out and started yelling” at you was Travis, cos you were calling HIS HOUSE. Like, EVERY DAY. How about this, you give Buddyhead all of your home phone numbers so we can wake all of you up every morning bugging you about really bad bands nobody cares about. (just like Stretch Armstrong) We’ll see how well you react to that after maybe the 50th call.

From: “Ty Stick”

Subject: There’s something wrong with your face.

Hey there, phockers. i read your ‘rules for being a rock star’ section and i must disagree with one of your rules. it’s the one about not being able to play a 7 string guitar or a bass that has more than 4 strings. most bands out there that use 7 string guitars do in fact blow, and their guitarists are usually no talent assclowns, but you must consider steve vai. talking shit about steve vai is like being a guy with a tiny tool who tells everyone that he has a small dick so that he can feel better about himself. it’s just something you shouldn’t do. another analogy you could use for talking shit about vai would be thinking that having a dog perform fellatio on you is a normal practice. about the bass thing, pull your head out of your ass. a lot of your theories about rock center around scoring gash, which i understand. But think about it this way: if you’re gonna play a 6 string bass, you better have big hands, and if you have big hands then you probably have big feet, and you know what women think about big feet. it’s a win – win situation. being able to have more fun with the bass and promoting yourself at the same time. so you should have said ‘don’t play a 7 string guitar or a bass with more than 4 strings if you’re in a nu metal band and have no technical skill.’ with that cleared up, if i got a band together that didn’t suck and started playing around hollywood clubs, would i be able to get a buddyhead shirt for free? cause i mean, that’s promotion for you guys. also, there can be fat guys in rock that can rule. listen to dredg, damnit. they have THREE fat guys in the band, and the bands that they are constantly compared to are TOOL, led zeppelin, and pink floyd. all you can say about that is ‘fuckin A, man.’ and lastly, set up some shows around hollywood with some bands that you guys are cool with. i want to see you guys try to ‘mack’.

Steve Vai? Huh? What the fuck just happened?

Subject: How To Be A Band

Dear Buddyhead,

In your section about becoming a band with the part about choosing a band name. I think you seriously made a mistake. The part where you said “Don’t Misspell your name” is a very good point. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Skrape, Puddle of Mudd, the list goes on are obvious examples of poorly produced band names. But you threw on your list “Strait Up”. There are several things wrong with this inclusion:

1) Strait Up is not a band name. Strait Up is a tribute album to Lynn Strait, singer of Snot.

2) There is a reason it is misspelled. It’s the fucking last name of the guy it’s a tribute for! Rather than a dumbass way to write a word, it’s a clever way to include his last name in the title of the album.

3) Even if you aren’t big fans of Snot – which I think is crazy talk, but to each his own – you should have respect for a dead man and his cool dog.

Snot fucking rules, the album fucking rules, and a big “Fuck you” to anyone who thinks it’s just another metal comp with no meaning.

Big Papa Jefe

“it’s a clever way to include his last name in the title of the album”? Yeah brah, I’ve got a clever way to figure out whether or not a “tribute album” is going to suck mad dong or not, and the first little tip off would be whether or not members of Sevendust, Kittie, Staind, and Incubus were involved.

Subject: why?

Well…. lets all be bad ass punks and like the same music as eachother so we can get a favorable opinion from some shithead at buddyhead.com. After all this is what you are telling us to do….

fuck, get your brownfinger outta Goldfinger’s ass and how about doing something besides being an over the hill/glamrocker/walletchain sporting has been’s yes man? Aaron – Buddyhead

Well aaron, should we all like bands like the icarus line? The simple answer is no, why dont you just let everyone like what they fucking like…. because if you dont, your gonna move on to new bands. If the icarus line got really fucking popular, you would say “oh what a bunch of sellouts” but actually they just had enough talent and connections to hit it big, which is the goal of most bands. Some bands who say that isnt their goal just dont have any talent and play loud shitty punk rock and soft shitty emo. LEAVE PEOPLES MUSIC ALONE! fuck you

-scottyb

Ehhhhh… you might not have noticed this dude, but that little tidbit you read was under the MUSIC REVIEWS section. Sure we could make things easy by making a big list of all the new records that came out and then telling people to buy them cos like you said, “everyone likes what they fucking like” but then we’d be denying our role in the holy war that is “good rock” vs. “bad rock”. You my friend, if you happen to be into Goldfinger, would be a fan of music that would fall under the “bad rock” category. Seeing as how we have somewhere along the way become a little more enlightened and educated in the field of “good rock”, it is our duty as superior human beings to try and steer you into the path of righteousness and away from the evil that is known as Goldfinger, as well as many, many other “bad rock” bands. I know this is all making your head spin, but it will all make sense one day. I promise.

luv, justin pearson

Oh c’mon, for having such a reputation as being a band that likes to “take the piss” outta people, fuckin lighten up dude. Besides, if all you say is true, don’t people believe worse shit than that anyway? Don’t worry, none of the hordes of white belt / spock / vulcan / monkey-cut fruitcakes mistook the interview for a real one. They have all your band member’s names and faces memorized and spend the better part of their days jerking off to the thought of being “down with you guys” and trying to figure out how to get the rarest pressings of your records so they can impress and convince other pathetic geeks on makeout club into getting naked with them.

Hey Aaron Icarus how about writing reviews that are even a bigger waste of time for anyone to read? I put more effort into pissing than you put in your reviews. I’d say that if your reviews were a contestant on Survivor, it would be the first to be voted off. So how about trying to like some punk that doesn’t fall under the category of being the crack-baby of late 70’s anti-gov shit? (aka hardcore) Or how about writing about how much pop punk sucks once, instead of over and over for every record? but what do I know?

Mike

Well Mike, apparently there seems to be approximately 193,374 horrible pop punk bands in this country, and every month more and more of them feel it is absolutely crucial to send their album to us to review. Then we have to tell them they suck over and over again. Hey don’t blame us. In a perfect world, Buddyhead would never receive a bad pop punk record ever again, and we would have nothing but nice things to say. Let’s all hold hands and pray for a better tomorrow, wuddya say Mike?

And anybody who does like a band that isn’t on MTV all day must be a “fag”. Infinite wisdom I tell you. Infinite. Dude, I’m telling you, you’re onto something here. MTV should be paying you to come up with their advertising slogans.

Subject: who’s ripping who??

Just in case you were vaguely interested (which i know you are because u hav nothing better to do all day except beg for donations and slag off bands who are more succesful than you), the word/phrase/whatever, ‘brah’ actually originates from the African country, Zimbabwe. In Zimbabwe we have a race known as ‘coloureds’, who are basically people of mixed race. us peeps in the coloured community have been using the term ‘brah’ since the late ’50’s. In our community it basically means ‘brother’, as in close friend. for example; ‘Hey brah, pass me the fermented milk’, or ‘Hey brah, why’d you fuck my sister. That wasn’t cool brah.’

so, um, yeah. stop ripping us off brah. Peace.

We never said we invented it dude. Sounds like sarcasm isn’t something that translates well to people in Africa I suppose. Besides, “Naw Brah” is out now. Fuck, even “No Bro” is now passe. In the 2002, it’s all about the “Nada Brada”.

Subject: Pledge of Allegiance

It’s been awhile since I’ve checked the gossip page at buddyhead.com, a page that seems to be flooded with calling the Drive Thru Records company a bunch of tubby bastards and insulting Fred Durst (not that I’ve got a problem with that). But every so often you guys will release some information which hints that you’ve done some research on the subject and are reporting facts which you believe to be true. I just checked out your update on the Pledge of Allegiance tour, and you look like idiots to the people who have ever listened to Slipknot. Granted, you’re not preaching to that crowd, but it wouldn’t kill you to get your facts straight before posting it on the internet (not like anyone else does, though). Slipknot isn’t a group of Satan worshippers. The Heretic Anthem, in fact, is their only Satan related song, and if you took two minutes to read through the lyrics, you’d see that it really isn’t all that Satan related. It has more to do with the social aspect of religion, and how people get into the holier-than-thou mentality. Hence “If you’re 555, then I’m 666″ (666 being a level higher than 555, in case you didn’t catch that). The giant 666 was there to, naturally, excite the crowd. As for the patriotism, that goes along with everything Slipknot does in fact believe. Of course, you didn’t include this when you wrote about it on the gossip page, but Corey (the singer) made it perfectly clear that what he was angry about was the hate crimes that resulted from the attack. He draped himself in the American flag to show that he supports America in getting rid of terrorism, and in supporting America, he supports American unity.

A majority of Slipknot songs have to do with how sick people can be in hurting other people (for example, “Purity”), and also social labeling and oppression, shown by how they assigned numbers to themselves and wear masks. Satan wasn’t mentioned once in any of the three albums they’ve released. But that doesn’t matter, now does it? Oh, and thanks to the seperation of church and state laws, Satan worshippers can *finally* be patriotic as well! Of course, you only show and tell what will make your loyal readers dislike any band that you dislike, but I guess if they don’t know that you’re presenting half-truth propaganda, they aren’t the types of people who have much choice in music, anyway.

As for the drum solo, well, it’s all a matter of personal opinion. I thought it was cool, and I also think that Joey is an amazing drummer.

I realize that you won’t take this seriously, if you even by any chance read it, because it’s from another stupid teenager, so I implore you not to post this. I realize that I’ve made the mistake already of writing a letter that doesn’t praise your site, and I don’t expect a serious response in return, but I don’t want what I’ve said misrepresented on your website. This letter isn’t to your readers, it’s to you, the staff, or whomever reads it. And please, if you do post it, don’t cut parts out of it, as you do to reality on the gossip page. Well, buddy on, buddyhead.

Love,

ATWISBMPB

Woooooooooah bro… lighten up there Mr. Super Fan. I’ll put 20 bucks on a bet saying this kid has one of those Slipknot jumpsuits. Calm down there fanboy, you just defended a drum solo that took place on a 40 piece drum kit 50 feet above the audience. I bet if you were born 10 years ago you would have been pretty impressed with Tommy Lee’s flying drum solo as well. Also, we didn’t edit you at all there champ. Congratulations.

Subject: Buddyhead

The other day i was sitting in history class bored off my ass with three other kids. My teacher left the class for a few mintues so i decided it would be a great idea to humor my peers by showing them Nate’s “How to have sex” cartoon. I showed them a few of the cartoons and a jolly chuckle was had by all. I left the webpage before my teacher came back. But then, to my great misfortune, my good friend Aaron (the kid who bribed you with fred durst info if you would say NFG rules) went to the “archives” page where theres an image of the two gay men grabbing eachother’s thonged asses. Of course my history teacher turned around and saw this, flipped out and went right to the browsers history and saw the cartoons i had just been two. Being a man of honor, i admitted that i had been to the site and i was not ashamed of my actions. Then as my history teacher was looking at the cartoons this other teacher came in. They tried to act all shocked but they knew they thought it was funny. By this point everyone in the room was pissing themselves with laughter. One teacher tried to bribe me, saying that if i bought him and the other teacher lunch they would’t tell the pinciple. I sticked it to the man and said NAH BRA! Fuck the system! I spent the next twentie minutes trying to explain to the teachers that buddyhead is not a “kiddie porn” site and that it is for the children. Oh well, they simply just didnt get it. It was truely one of the most embarrassing experiences of my life. Therefore, for the pain i had to endure due to the ignorance of the teachers, i feel i deserve a large buddyhead “fist and star” t-shirt in red. If you give it to me, I’ll wear it to that class every single day, showing everyone that i dont let the man fuck with me.

No, that’s kind of a joke. If that were all true, we’d never update our site. I mean come on… drugs? What we’re really into here at Buddyhead is collecting stamps, sniffing glue, and torturing little furry woodland creatures. Usually all at the same time.

well, except for the occasional sucking of Blink 182’s dick, I gotta say yer site cracks my shit up. The Hessian Love bit is enough laughs fer a week. I have sent everyone I know to yer site just to check it out (yer welcome). But two quick things: First, I have noticed alotta incidents where you will tear apart a band in one page, and then hype em up on another…..I am sure this is due to the varying oppinions of the writers, so I will let this slide. (again, yer welcome.) The other thing is a suggestion: How about an article on bands who should fight to the death, to determine who is the Meanest Mother Fuckers in rock. (Though I already know that the winner would be Deadbolt.. those guys could wail the shit outta every metal band all at the same time,and when the were done eating the dead, go to their homes and hate-fuck their wives and moms…also, the have the hottest sluts for groupies, which just goes to show how bad-ass they are.) Anyways, do this…cause I said so….

Sure dude.

In his review Travis said Zero Zero is from Delaware..there from New Jersey…it’s everyone that had absolutely no use in lifetime and was stupid enough not to join Kid Dynamite…and some chick. Not really an important side note, but a note anyway.

And while your kicking Travis in the face for that mistake and thinking the new Alkaline Trio isn’t for drunken 8th graders – stop advertising that TEXT record as ex-refused and just “four Swedish guys making shitty noise that you could record better in your mom’s basement.”

And what’s the excuse for not saying anything about Amnesiac in any of the new reviews….but good job getting 50 Shat mentions in…we all love to get updates on everyone’s favorite Megan’s law offender in NJ Jeff Wood! Seriously keep up the good work there.

Subject: Your website is still really lame…

If you are not the Buddyhuncher who answered my letter (originally sent from mofokin@mindspring.com)then please forward it to the appropriate one. I assume it was you though so I just wanted to say how proud I am of you for updating your site. You can’t polish a turd though Travis. You were obviously too busy daydreaming about “exploring every nook and cranny” of someone’s rectum to comprehend what I was saying in the beginning of my e-mail. I am fully aware that nobody forced me to look at your site but I did and I have as much right to voice my opinion as you do. I do have to say that I respect the fact that you post letters regardless of derogatory content. I went online to look for a few un-biased record reviews and found your site. The people doing the reviews were basing them on the label it’s on or some other trivial bullshit, sometimes without even listening to it. Then I discovered the rest of the shitpile that is Buddyhead. I admit there was a bit of traffic accident fascination with the things I saw, but I only spent enough time there to check everything out and e-mail you. I mean, how could you look at such a big pile of shit and not say to yourself, “Gee…that’s a pretty big pile of shit.” ? I don’t like to let preconceived notions influence my opinions, something you seem to be fond of at Buddyhead. Thanks for posting my last e-mail by the way. I think that’s just super! Oh…and thanks for the free psychological evaluation too, even though it’s grossly inaccurate. You make lots of assumptions based on what you know about me, which is… absolutely nothing. First off I don’t do the self-mutilation gimmick, I never once “gorged” myself at a shitty restaurant, I hate Oprah, and I’m not fat. Do YOU ever gorge yourself on anyone’s fucking genetalia? Do you ever find yourself devoting your time to running a shitty web site chocked full of fascism and hypocrisy? Do you ever send any fucking porn to little kids who made the mistake of giving you they’re e-mail address? Does that excite you? I think you have some pretty serious issues to deal with pal. Get help! Remember…If you can’t get help at Charter, then please, get help somewhere.

Hey Dill-rod, it’s clear you have lots of free time… fill a bit of it up with reading the paragraph at the top of the record reviews page. It clearly states that our record reviews are biased. That’s what makes them fun. That, and getting emails like this because of them. Thanks fruitbasket.

From: Catherine Hoodless c_hoodless@hotmail.com

Subject: Something intelligent for a change

I used to think your website was really good but lately I’m not so sure. I thought Buddyhead was aimed at people who are interested in music, films, culture etc, but it appears that anyone who is NOT an arrogant, sexist, homophobic, aggressively offensive arsehole is excluded.

If you wish to challenge this please refer yourself to any one of Gary Busey’s postings. How do you think it feels if you’re female and every reference to women you read is bitch, whore or slut? And I am not uptight or prudish – you can talk about drugs and sex as much as you want but to read people boasting about emotional, sexual exploitation and violence, laughing at women being used and degraded (viz, “Did you see those chicks eat each other out? I shoved my elbow up her ass, ha, ha, ha”) – SHOW SOME FUCKING RESPECT.

Trust me, that kind of attitude is a sign of immaturity. Why don’t you direct your aggression and hostility towards bad people for a change? Be nice and I’ll keep on reading your magazine.

Catherine

p.s. Men who hang around strip clubs are sexually inadequate, that’s a fact.

The messageboard is not our site you stupid fucking bitch whore. Haha. Just kidding. But no seriously… how can you judge Buddyhead based on what a bunch of random strangers say on a public messageboard? Silly. Plus, “Gary Busey” is just trying to make up for all the bad he’s never done in the world cos in actuality he’s a big hug-able straight edge teddy bear that drives a purple car. No shit.

From: “Dave Herrera”

Subject: no talking, just head.

Travis,

When I fired up the new issue of Buddyhead this morning, I didn’t think of Ice Cube, as you suggested. Rather more appropriately, LL’s infamous words came to mind, “Don’t call it a comeback, I’ve been here for years…” Truer words never spoken.

Let the naysayers say what they will about Buddyhead. However, until they have successfully ran their own site, their criticism falls on deaf ears. They’re just mad cause you tell the truth about all the grabasses out there. Most of haters fall into three categories: They are either publicists who are oblivious to the fact that you don’t exist to fatten their press kits; or other sites that don’t realize there is room on this here net for all of us; or bands that resent you for pulling back the curtain and showing everyone that it’s all done with smoke and mirrors. If all these people spent as much time and energy working to put out a quality product as they did hatin’, they wouldn’t have time to talk shit.

Even though our sites are diametrically opposed, we feel we are kindred spirits. You’re the pissed off bros we used to be before we moved to the burbs, got mortgages and had babies. Subsequently, we got your back…even though you don’t need it.

By the way, the interviews you just published from IL and Frodus are two of the most insightful I’ve read in quite some time. It should be obvious to everyone within earshot that they are/were the best things going.

YOU AREN’T EVEN ANYWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THE SWEAT BETWEEN THE NUTSACK AND ASSHOLE OF THE WHO’S DRUMMER has one error. I believe you are referring to a “taint” of the who’s drummer I point this out because my band is called Acne Taint and i think the word “taint” is drastically underused. Otherwise, good review!

Thanks. We should set up some shows with Acne Taint and the Buddyhead staff side project band, Baggy Spandex. Travis plays the kazoo. It’s bomb. We can do a split.

Subject: fred durst sux

Alright, first things first, I havent really checked out your site, I don’t know you personally, and I don’t know what you listen to. I also think that your review of Chocolate Starfish and the Hot-Dog flavored Water was right on, if not a little soft. I hate Fred Durst with a passion, but not just because of this album, you’ll find out why in a moment. In the first line of your review, you said “So, until today I’d never been so (un)lucky as to actually listen to a full Limp Bizkit record, start to finish.”. Now I would have to say that is too bad, because Three Dolla Bill Y’all, their first album, is an excellent album excluding that obvious mistake we’ve all come to know and love as Faith. You see, Fred does have it in him, he can make good music. He just chooses not to. After their debut, Durst was criticized by so many people (rightfully so) for not having a great voice. He WWWAAAYYYYYYYYY overcompensated by singing way too much on Significant Other, and even worse this time around. I saw LB in Lewiston, Maine a few months before Three Dolla Bill Y’all came out and I thought they rocked. By the time Significant Other rolled around I felt like the happiest day of my life would not be the birth of my children, or my wedding day, but it would be the day Fred and Limp ate it, Buddy Holly style. So, I think you should listen to all of the debut, especially track 4(“Stuck”), and track 6(“Sour”). Now, as to why I hate Fred Durst so much, it’s not just because he makes horrible music now, it’s because there was a time Fred knew what “Limp Bizkit being a good band” was like, but he really doesn’t remember and that’s too bad. For all of us.

Somehow the Theory found out and being the ego-stistical maniacs that they are, sent out an email to everyone on their email list telling them of our scam, however we covered it up. We said our guitar tech, Randy, hacked into our email server and sent the message out as a joke (we still have the original email they sent out). More and more people believed we were brett and chad of the juliana theory. Angry fans would come up to them at shows telling them how much of jerks they were.
