Here Today... Gone To Hell!

The title ses it all.
I like them n think that people who have just heard they're too big singles 'everything about you' n 'cat's in the cradle' probably think they were just a '2 good songs n a load of tripe kinda band' but after listening to 'the collection' i really like them.

Nice title for the thread :P  As ive said before in numerous threads for this band they are one of the most underated bands ever.  America's Least Wanted track-for-track is an outstanding album and there is much more to them than just singles like Cat's In The Cradle, Neighbor & Everything About You.  They successfully managed to incoperate humour and good music together something that the likes of The Bloodhound Gang & Tenacious D have failed to do.  They do a hilarious version of the Oompa song from Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.  I've also found Menace To Sobriety & Motel California to be very good albums although not to America's Least Wanted's standard.  If you look inside the booklet that comes with The Collection you'll notice the Guns N' Roses references.

lol, i shouldn't say this but it's a copy  ;D

Underated

Naughty naughty girl!!! :)

I love Ugly Kid Joe!! They're awesome, and their guitar solos fuckin rock!! I wish they were still going!

wish they were still around, anyone know they song Sandwhich, i think it was their last release.

totaly underated

Yeah that's a damn good track on their last album in 1996 Motel California

sweet, i didnt know that,
i only had that song on some 97' compilation n' i loved it!! : ok:

Gotta say they've never done much for me... :)

Bollocks....

I have Americas Least Wanted and its just run of the mill cookie cutter early ninetees metal.  Although i do love hate everythign about you : ok:

I forgot about those guys. Wonder why?

Aaaw.. that's not nice  :no:

I see UKJ as a sort of Guns/Nirvana crossover. I dunno why, I just do. I think it has something to do with the Guns-ish guitarness and the grungey/surf dress sense. They're more Guns-ish though because they're more fun than Nirvana.
UKJ - Underrated. Definitely NOT bollocks!

Underrated. ALW does kick ass, definitely.

Overrated  :drool:

how can they be overated- you never hear any of their music on radio or see their vids on music channels- no one talks about them anymore. you are joking right?

Remember these guys? I liked them. Sort of like the bridge between hair-metal and grunge.

I like them!

Goddamn Devil is my fave song.

Great riffage!

I like cat's in the cradle and Everything about you  :yes:

i've only heard everything about you. i've neva seen any cd or anything of theirs

Well then do yourself a favour and go look for America's Least Wanted, it's a classic!

I searched "Ugly Kid Joe" and could come up with anything. Sorry for the 2nd thread.

Yeah...they were relatively short-lived....and the front man was cute.....

I always had a feeling their only problem was - they were around at the wrong time in the wrong place.
UKJ,  Faith No More,  Soundgarden,  perhaps even Pearl Jam a little and even Red Hot Chili Peppers ahd a problem that they were around when Nirvana,  Gunners and Smashing Pumpkins ruled the world with Metallica.
I mean,  honestly,  how could anyone get passed the big three!?
RHCP made it huge in 1990 but they dissappeard again till 1999, when nobody was around.
I have seen 'BEST OFF'  (would have to look around for the real title),  in a cd shop few years ago,  immidiately Everything about you popped up in my mind so I bought it.
They were not as good as the magnificent 3,  though,  they were ok and it is too bad they are not around anymore.
I mean,  check out Black Crowes,  even they couldn't make it that time, despite having a hit like Remedy...
