Song lyrics that diss other bands

"They said that we were trash / but the name's Crass, not Clash"

Pavement's "Range Life" to thread

There's a Downset song that goes kinda hard on RATM, something about "You've never SEEN South Central"

and not sure of it counts, but there's that angry answering machine message from one of the Sick of it All guys on Nine Patriotic Battle Hymns by Born Against

and is MES talking about any band in particular in "Stop Mithering?"

Let's talk about non-hip hop musical feuds, or just plain ol' low blows, aired out in song lyrics

"something to du" by the replacements always seemed like good natured ribbing rather than an actual assault, but i'd like to mention it anyhow.

New Radicals - You Get What You Give

"Fashion mag shoots with Beck and Hanson/
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson/
You're all fakes/ Run to your mansions
Come around here/ We'll kick your ass in!"

Eminem - Mashall Mathers

"New Kids On The Block suck a lot of dick/ Boy/girl groups make me sick"

Also "And Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked/ Worse than them little Limp Bizkit Bastards/ and Moby you can get stomped by Obie /you 36 year old bald headed fag - blow me/ you don't know me, you're too old, let go, it's over/ nobody listens to techno!"

from Without Me.

Prince - My Name Is Prince

"My name is Prince, I don't wanna be king
Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream
Big cars and women and fancy clothes
Will save your face but it won't save your soul
I'm here to tell you that there's a better way
Would our Lord be happy if He came 2 day?
I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than u
But if u want 2 play with me, u better learn the rules"

Hehe, its a pretty embarrassing song, imho his worst.

Masturbation (mid-90's Sonoma County Hardcore)
"Fuck The Blockheads" (another SCHC band)

Fuck the Blockheads, they're fucking weak
I wanna kick their ass whenever they speak
They think they're rad because they made a tape
Act like they're good but they aren 't that great
Dave's a nerd, Paul's a geek
Clem's too hairy, Nate's a freak
They think that they're great but they can hardly play
Even though they practice every day
Fuck the Blockheads
They can't hold their beer
We'd kick their ass
If they were here

If I ever stumble into a mixtape career I am so gonna sample that "Nate's a freak" line.

Anyways, I CALL DIBS ON SWEAT HOAM BALABABAMA

(PS: so far pretty much every band on the offense in these arguments have been stupid and wrong. Except maybe Eminem.)

KMFDM - Sucks:

"We Don't Like Michael Jackson
We Hate Depeche Mode
We Don't Care For Madonna Or Kylie Minogue"

basically them having fun with with their acronym.

"Don Henley Must Die," obv., unless Don Henley is not a BAND, which, to be fair, he is not. Dead Milkmen's awful"Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance to Anything)"

You'll dance to anything by the Communards
You'll dance to anything by Book of Love
You'll dance to anything by The Smiths
You'll dance to anything by Depeche Commode
You'll dance to anything by Public Image Limited
You'll dance to anything by Naked Truth
You'll dance to anything by any bunch of stupid Europeans
who come over here with their big hairdos
intent on taking our money instead of giving your cash,
where it belongs, to a decent American artist like myself!

and then there is They Might Be Giants "We're the Replacements" which might be an affectionate chuffing of the Replacements or might have nothing to do with them, I'm not sure.

N*E*R*D's "Rockstar", although I don't believe that targets any one particular band.

Anyone Who Likes The Dillinger Escape Plan Is A Faggot

harvey fierstein told me you guys ruled
john zorn called to tell me you're great
the caller i.d. was from a gay bar

gay bars used to be original too

you never get bad reviews
because all the writers shoot up cum
everyone who likes you
is a gay homosexual faggot

Dictators, "Two-Tub Man": "I think Lou Reed is a creep"

Wasn't G'NR's "Shotgun Blues" aimed at Vince Neil?

Jumper Clown by Marc Riley and the Creepers. "This sounds like Mark E. Smith, I'm going home".

Hey We're the Replacements by They Might Be Giants takes the piss quite satisfactorily without actually being insulting.

Hmmm, I'm not sure who that Chr1s Barnes is, but I just booked a band with a guy named Chr1s Barnes in it to play a show tomorrow night. Should I be concerned?

jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 20 September 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, I call NO MORE ANAL CUNT or we'll be here all day and it'll be like an afternoon spent huffing Windex.

Beck's "Bogusflow" does not namecheck but was admittedly inspired by Pearl Jam.

SNFU's "Real Men Don't Watch Quincy" --

"I don't wanna be in a band like Fear or Pain,
Cause those guys, they got shit for brains,
Breakin things and slashin up their wrists
Why don't they slash deeper and get it over with?"
