Hinder Guy Calls OK Go “Fairies”; Neo-Grunge Vs. Emo-Indie Conflict Escalates

9/11/06, 6:41 pm EST

OK GoFirst, Papa Roach drummer Dave Buckner came out of hibernation recently to announce the he has a problem with Pete Wentz. (Why does everybody hate the hapless Wentz so much? Yes, he is dating Ashlee Simpson, but the guy is kind to animals and looks cute in a cape.) The we found out that neo-grunge rockers Hinder inexplicably loathe OK GO and have a problem with screamo rockers Thursday. Is this jealousy talking? Is there an environmental toxin involved? What the heck gives? Hinder singer Austin Winkler and drummer Cody Hanson beef heavily below:

RS: You seem to really have your biggest following in the middle of the country. Is that something you’d agree with?
Austin Winkler: I would definitely agree as far as NY and LA with some of that artsy bullshit like OK GO, bands like that. I think they’re a bunch of fairies. I mean, they got on MTV , the VMA awards and they got on there and danced like a broadway show. That’s not fucking rock ‘n roll, that’s not rock ‘n roll at all.

RS: We get what you mean about OK Go and some of the bands that really are popular on the coasts, but what do you think it is about you guys that appeals to people?
AW: We have good songs, I would say. Their songs suck, I mean what the fuck? They sold 4,000 albums a week and then that treadmill fairy shit comes on the fucking TV and they only sold 4,000 more records a week because the song sucks.

RS: Do you guys know them? You seem to have a real specific fixation with them, have you met them or anything?
Cody Hanson: No, it’s just seeing their fucking stupid-ass faces on the T.V. all the time, it pisses me the fuck off.

RS: Are there any other bands that you look at and are like why are they famous, besides them?
CH: I’ll tell you, the worst band of all time in my book is Thursday.
AW: I thought he had a good voice, dude, what are you talking about.
CH: That dude has got to be the worst singer I have ever heard in my entire fucking life, man. He is terrible.

Wow. Um, jealous much? Sure, OK Go is pop music, but it’s not bad pop music. And at least they got noticed for doing some fun and unique, like the treadmill bit, instead of being total media whores. They started with minimal momentum and built their popularity through word of mouth, which, if you ask me, is pretty impressive these days. And I’m sorry, but calling them “fairies” is extremely immature and just reeks of sour grapes.

Bill | 9/11/2006, 7:32 pm EST

Who cares? Its not like Hinder is a great band…they hate OKGO because its different from them and their “success” upsets them. We all have bands and/or band members that we totally despised for some unknown reason…and they usually upset because we see or hear them in a variety of media outlets. I seriously doubt we are facing a Pac & Biggie type fued here, so lets just ignore ignorant comments.

Andrew the Wise | 9/11/2006, 7:33 pm EST

Excuse me? What are they even talking about? They come across as jealous, misinformed malcontents. They rip on them for have “sucky songs” and not making “rock n roll”…and yet Hinder has yet to put a song worth remembering. I’d rather listen to “Here It Goes Again” by some “fairies” five times a day than hear “Lips of an Angel” one more time in my lifetime.

sarah | 9/11/2006, 7:45 pm EST

omg, i tottaly agree w/ hinder i mean come on!!!!!! they r faries and tht treadmill music video was so cheep. I love the song lips of an angel it is rock n roll. if u think differently ur head isnt screwed on right

Jeremy | 9/11/2006, 7:49 pm EST

Yeah man! These are so hardcore, I love them, they don’t a s*** about nothing their rockin music. Rock and Roll forever. Nobody can touch them, I mean why enjoy your career as a musician and have fun, when you can be badass and make “real” rock like Hinder. I mean Hinder has like…ummm…that one song…uhhhhhhh……so how about them yankees?

Ankur | 9/11/2006, 7:50 pm EST

Papa Roach? Who cares? RS, just ask the Spice Girls what they think about OK Go! as well.

gina | 9/11/2006, 7:56 pm EST

i completely agree with sarah. she is correct Hinder does have a better song and they r pure rock and roll!!

G | 9/11/2006, 8:02 pm EST

Wow, not only do they make sh*tty music, but they’re complete jerks as well. Thank goodness Hinder will have surely faded back into obscurity by next month.

And yes, OK Go makes good pop music, regardless of whether their videos are clever.

Hinder | 9/11/2006, 8:10 pm EST

i told u guys ppl agree wit me!!!!

sarah | 9/11/2006, 8:10 pm EST

omg go hinder!!!!

G-D | 9/11/2006, 8:25 pm EST

Hinder can suck my chocolate salty balls.

Their just pissed because Ok Go has better music, are more popular, and have sold more records.

Hinder can suck a dick.

O, and calling anyone a fairy might be one of the most immature things i’ve ever heard.

Francis Guilardi | 9/11/2006, 8:28 pm EST

Oh come on, Hinder is pop itself. It’s a band of backstreet boys with guitars. If they were really hardcore, they wouldn’t be dressing like cheap male prostitutes and spending all this money on hairwax for their faux hawks. Come on, just because they’re from Oklahoma doesn’t give them the right to think they’re hardcore. Just because they rock out with that crazy, underground Nickelback and play real music (whatever that is.) Come on, rock ballads?

Scream | 9/11/2006, 8:30 pm EST

Wow, thats just mean and unecessary. “Fairies”, talk about childish. I mean, I love hard rock music just as much, if not more, than the next person, but I still like OK Go’s “Here It Goes Again”. Its a good pop song. Lips of an Angel is so sappy its sickening, I rather listen to OK Go. If Hinder think that theyre hardcore, someone needs to slap some sense into them because theyre fooling themselves. And besides, who are people going to remember more? The guys with the cool treadmill routine or the idiots with that gay song they think qualifies as good rock music?

Andrew | 9/11/2006, 8:51 pm EST

This is probably why Hinder sucks so bad. Hating innovative ideas about catching people’s eyes? Why don’t they just like, smash machines because they do work instead of humans?

And “AW: We have good songs, I would say.” Is that even fair?

sam | 9/11/2006, 9:17 pm EST

How can OK GO be fairies? I mean, look at thos godawful shirt and tie combos they have in that picture. Are ALL of them colour blind?

ultraviolet624 | 9/11/2006, 9:19 pm EST

I live in the middle of the country and I hate Hinder and like OK Go. And I now hate Hinder even more for being immature jackasses who have to diss someone else to make themselves look better.

vibol | 9/11/2006, 9:20 pm EST

id have to say wow as well. id never thought it would go this way. first off ive never heard of hinder….i dont really like any of the other bands metioned either, comments like this make me sad cause it makes people look like morons. id believe it from hip hop since thats the nature of the game but not rock. hahah so lame ..

Jah-red | 9/11/2006, 9:58 pm EST

First off, how can hinder say anything when they are clearly nickelback wannabees; and that’s the worst kind. i just dlo’d lips of an angel and listened for the first time, and what a piece of crap. Hinder doesn’t deserve to be in the same sentance as Ok Go. They are so far below them it’s not even funny. Ok Go has originality and TALENT. Hinder has shit and sounds like the worst of the creed/nickelback impersonator bands. Im Out.

alfredo | 9/11/2006, 10:06 pm EST

ok so ok go does suck, but it sounds to me that hinder sucks much more because they have to slam other bands to get attention.

Eric | 9/11/2006, 10:21 pm EST

jesus…. this is why straight up hard rock is in bad shape now. all the dudes sound like close minded dicks. i think hinder is just shitty, generic, radio rock. im not a big fan ok Ok Go, but theyre more original and fun than a bunch of angry grunge dudes re-hashing the radio formula again.

grow up…

Ima Nonymous | 9/11/2006, 10:39 pm EST

That’s funny, I hate Pete Wentz, the rest of FOB, MCR, Hinder, Creed, Nickelback *and* Papa Roach…
Does that make me a f**king ponce?

Johnny | 9/11/2006, 10:48 pm EST

OK GO SUCKS

Johnny | 9/11/2006, 10:51 pm EST

OK GO SUCKS..HINDER SUCKS..NICKELBACK SUCKS MORE..THURSDAY and PANIC AT THE DISCO ARE A JOKE….AXL ROSE PLEASE SAVE US!!! release chinese democracy and save us from the garbage…this music is so bad…I cant even put it into words…a Hinder/OK GO feud?!?!?!?!?!?!? its a far cry from Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose…

the Giz | 9/11/2006, 11:00 pm EST

Hinder should not be be interviewed until they graduate middle school. Perhaps Hit Parade is more geared towards your 15 minutes of lame.

RockGod | 9/11/2006, 11:02 pm EST

This music needs to die… and Guns N Roses is going to bring them to their knee’s with Chinese Democracy!!! hopefully soon!!!

RLG | 9/11/2006, 11:08 pm EST

hinder who the fuck are u what u have one hit that sucks just like ok go. at least they have a tight video watch that video high and u will see. and as for papa roach yes the guy from fall out boy is gay, the hole fucking band is gay and so is your fucking wanabe band whos bigest hit was in the fucking 90s. i hate when crapy artist fight with each other. and another thing hinder u wouldn’t be notice if it wasnt for high school girls talking about u even when they dont listen to rock music. just to save time none of yall r rock or good artist at fact the only reason yall big is because of MTV. and like that first guy said axl save use

Matt | 9/11/2006, 11:10 pm EST

Johnny you are right…Axl Rose is our only hope right now…he was the last legitimate rock star that was on the level of Robert Plant and Mick Jagger…Today’s “rock” bands are a joke

TB | 9/11/2006, 11:12 pm EST

my question is…who the hell is Hinder?

Annie | 9/11/2006, 11:28 pm EST

This is Hinder:

Oh my gosh, poor us, we’re so misunderstood, no one appreciates our music, wah wah wah.

I think it’d be tight if Hinder took it up a notch and competed with OK Go… like, OK Go’s on treadmills and Hinder’s on stairmasters or something. Like freestylin’ but with workouts.

Sasha | 9/11/2006, 11:32 pm EST

Who the hell is Hinder? They’ve been around for 2 mins and they think they’re qualified to say what is and isn’t rock music. That’s bullshit. I dislike all the bands they named too but atleast they don’t sound like a poor man’s nickelback.

MLN | 9/11/2006, 11:33 pm EST

I think more people should beef with Panic at the Disco. Those guys are pretty lame.

Jeff | 9/11/2006, 11:34 pm EST

Puh-leeze.

I guess Hinder needs something to make them stand out, because their music sure isn’t doing it.

antics | 9/11/2006, 11:38 pm EST

haha hinder. just cause your music isn’t on tv. quit your girly whining

Bungalow Bill | 9/11/2006, 11:54 pm EST

Hinder’s frontman needs some schoolin’. OK GO is neiter from LA or NY, or anywhere near the coasts, for that matter. They’re from CHICAGO, IL!!! And last time I checked, IL is in the midwest. Meathead rockers like Hinder need to pay more attention in their geography and music appreciation classes.

metalgirl | 9/12/2006, 12:06 am EST

ok blow me. but seriously, emo bitch boys need to stop whining! pete wentz for gap…please…be a man.

eh, i guess that just makes heavy music sound that much better, so please keep making crappy music Thursday.

kevin | 9/12/2006, 12:30 am EST

First of all, this article is just pointless. I don’t care about Hinder saying “fuck” to try to be bad-ass and convince me how much they rock and OK Go doesn’t, but I do think OK Go is slightly fruity. And that’s okay. Hinder just needs to grow a pair and shut up.

More importantly, what is with people saying Axl Rose is the best??? He’s not any sort of music legend. He had a couple big hits in the 80’s with a killer rock band and one legendary guitarist. But as a person (like girlfriend-beatings), and even as a singer, he’s not all that great.

ben | 9/12/2006, 12:44 am EST

Hmmm… rock controversy? neither of those bands have put out outstanding singles/albums and neither deserves the attention that they’re getting. personally, i dont care about this article much, and i dont care too much about the bands mentioned. i think rock had its last “hurrah” with bands that were popular 15 years ago. frankly, they’re both just putting out pop shit as far as i’m concerned.

Garth | 9/12/2006, 1:11 am EST

Indie schmindies, yawn, you’re all such a bore dissing Hinder. They’re right, OK Go are fairy nerds, if the country got invaded OK go would hide in a bookstore. Probably all silver spoon slacker rich kids that went to ivy league schools and couldn’t hack medical school. Hinder have a smash hit single and OK Go have a gimmick video. That’s the way it really is.

WestCoast Grrl | 9/12/2006, 1:15 am EST

Funny, it’s true that people on the west coast don’t like Hinder-type music…so sad, these guys are very young and trying to live out every midwestern boys rock-n-roll wet dream. Too bad they had to be close-minded conservative republican losers as well. I’m a little embarrassed for them…

D-Patt | 9/12/2006, 1:27 am EST

Umm… Did I miss something here? Is this really PAPA ROACH telling me what music sucks??? I mean what the fuck! Last time I checked they were right below Creed in terms of absolute fuckwad.

Josh | 9/12/2006, 1:41 am EST

Hinder is just another Creed/Staind/way past its prime shit rock band. OK GO are fun and make great music.

Alex Dachis | 9/12/2006, 1:51 am EST

Bungalow Bill is a dumbass…first of all who the fuck cares where OK GO is from?! They suck ass anyways..on top of that they also embaressed MTV at the awards show with there shitty performance of what they call music. Hinder rocks and is actually writing songs where you can hear what they are saying. OK GO are nothing.

Ashley | 9/12/2006, 1:56 am EST

Hinder can talk when they prove that they have staying power and not just a one hit wonder band.

matt | 9/12/2006, 1:59 am EST

this is the most overtly jealous interview i have ever heard…i can only hope his band mate beat the crap out of him after that interview

Testa | 9/12/2006, 2:03 am EST

Ok, Hinder may suck, OK GO may suck… But hey, that is pure rock n’ roll attitude, tough…

Say whatever the fuck you want and don’t give a damn ’bout what the others may think…

Johnny | 9/12/2006, 2:10 am EST

rock music has declined every year since 1992…check out the vmas, this year the big rock act was the killers?!!? and no one would have watched that long had it not been Axl Rose introducing them…In the 1992 MTV VMA’s we had Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Nirvana and Guns N roses all PERFORMING!!! not to mention a bunch of other good rock bands…the state of rock today is PATHETIC!!!!!!

DAVE | 9/12/2006, 2:11 am EST

Hinder might suck,,but at least someone is stepping up and saying how much todays rock music sucks…at admire them just for that….even though they suck as well

Chuen | 9/12/2006, 2:33 am EST

Post-rock drivel: Hinder, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, and the embarrassment of this category, Rob Thomas. These guys ought to apologize to Nirvana and Alice In Chains. Bordering on drivel: Stone Sour and Staind.

Emo-novelty drivel: OK Go, Panic At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Angels and Airwaves, and the embarrassment of this category, Simple Plan. These guys ought to apologize to pre-2004 Jimmy Eat World and Weezer. Bordering on drivel: AFI and My Chemical Romance.

Bands that will still be remembered in 2008: Muse, Wolfmother, Audioslave and Tool.

Matt | 9/12/2006, 3:08 am EST

Wow, slow news day huh?

Sam | 9/12/2006, 3:30 am EST

They both are gay, so who cares?

Robert | 9/12/2006, 5:10 am EST

I am so tired of you aqua-net and spandex wearing morons, going on about chinese democracy. That album is never going to be released, and if it is, its going to be more depleted, terrible, and over hyped than last seasons’ patriots. Stop screaming for Axel Rose to “Save Rock” Axel Rose, never saved rock. If anything, he -destroyed- rock by breaking Guns and Roses up. You never hear anyone screaming “Yoko, please save rock” do you, for breaking up the beatles? Praying for Axel to save rock is commiting the same sin. He had Buckethead, as a lead guitarist…what a tool. That album will be nothing like G&R, nowhere near as good on any level, without the rest of the band. Some of you will say, “well, he was the heart and soul of the band” Fine. Whatever. But what good is a heart and soul, without digits and limbs? I really dont think, some guy other than Slash would have put together so many classic riffs for Axel to write lyrics, as Slash did. Grow some brain cells, buy the new pearl Jam CD.

mike t | 9/12/2006, 5:57 am EST

The fact that Hinder has been mentioned alongside Nickleback says it all for me. If any band deserves to be back working at Starbucks its Nickelback. OK Go get my vote only because they are clearly not taking themselves seriously! Sorry kids, this isn’t rock. Shihad is rock!

Andrew | 9/12/2006, 6:33 am EST

If Hinder are sick of seeing the OK GO video on all the time why don’t they flip the channel or turn off their TV! And if they knew anything about the history of hardcore music they would realize that it orginiated on the coasts. Take Sick Of It All for example are from NYC.

Mike | 9/12/2006, 7:22 am EST

I have never heard a more derivative, cloned, out of the neo-grunge, crap, stale cookie cutter crowd than Hinder. This band has NO original sound. This band should not be called Hinder. I hereby proclaim that their name be changed to Nickledefaulttraptback. I guess jealousy runs deep because the only real hinder fans are blue collar red necks in the mid west, toiling on third shift on assembly lines, and I know. I worked with em for a long time

Judy | 9/12/2006, 7:32 am EST

I love Hinder and those comments are out of character for Hinder. I think it is interesting that this is all Rolling Stone came up with in their interview. Especially since this interview follows a scathing RS review of Hinder. I think I smell a rat and it isn’t Hinder. By the way, I love the OK GO treadmill video. I’ve watched it numerous times. But for the life of me, I can’t even remember the song on the video.

Jerry | 9/12/2006, 8:05 am EST

Let me tell you what RS didn’t. Hinder’s album, Extreme Behavior, has gone Gold and is well on its way to Platinum. Their video for Lips Of An Angel is a top video on VH1. They are 5 great guys who love their fans and love what they do. What I want to know is why did RS only print those few comments out of an entire interview? Hinder is new… RS is very experienced. This has contrived written all over it.

John | 9/12/2006, 8:16 am EST

Personally, I’m not a big fan of either Hinder or OK GO, but if I had to say one band is shittier than the other, I’d go with Hinder. Even though what they said is fucking hilarious. FUCKING HILARIOUS. I probably laughed harder this morning reading this than I have at most things this fucking early.

Brian | 9/12/2006, 9:28 am EST

I finally heard this band Hinder, and I honestly thought it was another shitty Nickleback power ballad. I would suggest that these bands give a lot of their royalties to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains, but I don’t think any of those bands want their name attatched to this pre-packaged bullshit.
I do have to disagree with the person who said Axl Rose is the closest we have to another Mick Jagger or Robert Plant. Seriously? Axl Rose is a joke, GnR was great in the past but it is obvious he cant cut it anymore. There are PLENTY of legendary frontman in the music industry today. Eddie Vedder, Thom Yorke, Bono, and Michael Stipe. These are the guys the little stoner kids will be worshipping in 20 years. I swear to God if I see kids in 20 years wearing Nickleback shirts it could possibly bring on the end of civilization. I have also heard that anytime someone plays a Hinder, Nickleback, Fall Out Boy or anything else from this scene, God kills a puppy.
Do any of you want that on your conscience?

Irwin mandel | 9/12/2006, 9:53 am EST

for “rock” dudes, hinder evidently pay an embarassing amount of attention to charts, record scans and corporate bean toting. what could be less rock than that, you industry weasels?

Ryan | 9/12/2006, 10:37 am EST

How the hell can Hinder diss anyone. They are probably the worst fucking band I have ever heard. Honestly what video would you rather watch. It’s pretty easy the OKGo video is a way better video but the song isn’t that great but whatever who cares the video is golden. As for Hinder i think I have heard this one before didn’t they used to call thereselves theory of a nickelfault or some shit like that. I would probably guess that Hinder has sucked way more ass in their short career’s than OKGo ever will.

Sean | 9/12/2006, 10:49 am EST

i think we can all agree that rock fans are probably the hardest bunch of people to please. i’m only 26 but for as long i can remember, people have been saying that rock is dead and is in need of saving. say what u will but i think there enough room for everyone to do their own thing. however, i am glad that Hinder hasn’t allowed little things like envy and homophobia to stop them from being the best band on vh1’s top twenty countdown.

JoJo | 9/12/2006, 10:52 am EST

I would rather watch and listen to Ok Go! than those dumbasses Hinder. That song is so played out all ready and I only heard it for the first time last Friday. Horrible, horrible song. By the way, don’t b jealous of Rob Thomas cuz he gets more ass than you! Aaron Lewis from Staind is prolly more fuckworthy than you too. And he is butt-ugly
HINDER SUCKS GIANT DONKEY BALLS

Brian | 9/12/2006, 11:56 am EST

Ah, Hinder. You know, isn’t it enough that Nickelback’s already flooding our airwaves with plastic, generic rock? I mean, I thought Creed had already filled the bill with that, then Nickelback decided that, no, the6y needed to make us suffer more. And now Hinder comes along to pile on? Come on. I understand they sell records, but let’s not start judging a band’s quality on THAT! God bless them, but I don’t base anything on the American record buyers. I think they’ve proved that, for the most part, they don’t think. That’s totally cool, but I’m not down with their opinions.
But what really bugs me is the

Hinder dude’s use of anti-gay wording. Look, I’m a straight dude, but it pisses me off to no end when people express their rage by using expletives most people would direct toward gays in an angry or spiteful manner. It just goes to prove the point that Hinder’s music is made by a bunch of senseless, brain-dead idiots, and really it doesn’t deserve to further dilute and mangle the American pop rock scene. You don’t have to like OK Go. Hell, I don’t! But you sure don’t have to refer to them as fairies.

Don’t buy Hinder’s record. Go buy TV on the Radio or Mastodon or Celtic Frost or something.

Anonymous | 9/12/2006, 12:16 pm EST

Pete | 9/12/2006, 1:09 pm EST

whos Hinder?

Moey | 9/12/2006, 1:45 pm EST

Ok, it’s true that Ok Go is hardly classified as rock.. but hey, when did they agree that’s what they wanted to go by…

Chad | 9/12/2006, 2:05 pm EST

I have heard the band named Hinder, but isn’t it giving them too much credit, to call them a one hit wonder?

Norm | 9/12/2006, 2:11 pm EST

Why is this even making news? Hinder is a processed, market tested, focus-group approved, pop rock effort, while OK Go and Thursday are established bands who’ve paid their dues.

Sure the whole treadmill gimmick is cheap, but its innovative and the only way that bands like OK Go are going to get noticed in today’s industry. Unlike Hinder, who caught a deal because some label rep told his boss he found “the next Nickelback”.

Bryan | 9/12/2006, 3:56 pm EST

This band is a HINDER on the musical society. Who the hell is Hinder anyways?

Kay | 9/12/2006, 4:04 pm EST

Aww, jealously. Some shitty band who makes music for thirteen-year-old girls to cry to is desperately trying to pick a fight with four guys in dandysuits because they can actually sell CDs and get TV spots. Also, “fairies”? Are they in seventh grade?

It reminds me of that time The Bravery and The Killers were practically throwing their eyeliner pencils at each other..Well, except that people actually like OK Go and they’re too busy playing for people who DON’T listen to Nickleback..

Megan | 9/12/2006, 4:07 pm EST

Seriously, can they not just come out and admit that they look like homeless pricks and nobody will ever respect them as much as Thursday or OK Go?

Chad | 9/12/2006, 4:18 pm EST

I thought the treadmill thing was funny. I wouldn’t watch over and over again. But on the other hand, I can say that I don’t remember a Hinder video or song.

Bill | 9/12/2006, 4:22 pm EST

Who’s Hinder?

Mel | 9/12/2006, 4:38 pm EST

Ok…. That stupid hinder song is probably the lamest song I’ve ever heard. And the video is worse.

That ok go song is awesome. And the vid is obviously up to par. Hinder doesn’t know anything about ok go… seems like they just saw them on the VMAs and were jealous of them rocking/actually being invited…

peace,
mb

merrg | 9/12/2006, 4:47 pm EST

hehe… you know, I don’t really have a problem with Hinder’s song. I don’t think it’s really that bad.

And Ok Go aren’t fairies- the “treadmill song” is about a one night stand that turned into a more serious relationship, and now the lead singer, who wrote the song, is married. They haven’t even always dressed funny- go find pictures from two or three years ago and they’re in normal jeans and a t-shirt. They do the suits ’cause its funny- they did the treadmills ’cause its funny. They’ll probably come out with some other “cheap gimmick” that’s also pretty hilarious, and then people’ll bash ‘em for that.

and finally- whoever called Ok Go emo has obviously never actually listened to their music or their lyrics. if Ok Go was emo I wouldn’t be here defending them.

mandy | 9/12/2006, 4:56 pm EST

Ok first adn foremost…who the fuck is Hinder?

bree | 9/12/2006, 5:04 pm EST

Whatever, Hinder just wanted to be mentioned alongside the “it” band of the moment for some free press.

What the hell is their supposed “hit single”… I’d never even heard of them until I read this article.

Fr | 9/12/2006, 5:09 pm EST

pfff hinder schninder

Megan | 9/12/2006, 5:10 pm EST

Fairies?

YOU HAVE A SONG CALLED LIPS OF AN ANGEL.

Rose | 9/12/2006, 5:11 pm EST

This dude needs to learn what good music is. Thursday kicks ass, and Hinder sucks. Who would dis Thursday? That’s just stupid.

NOEFRASD | 9/12/2006, 5:31 pm EST

I hated Hinder anyways, and now that I see this, I hate them even more. I wish they would die. They’re terrible song-writers/singers/musicians /artists. They’ve barely worked at all compared to OK Go, which has tried and tried to be known since 1998, and finally, when they get the attention they deserve, people start bashing them. If you’re going to call out a band, do it the right way.

These fucking wannabes don’t know how to insult people.

And, OK Go is not emo. It’s not exactly “pop,” or “indie,” it’s more “alternative” or “power pop.” That’s not a bad thing. Heavy metal/screamo isn’t much better. At all.
I say fuck Hinder, they suck anyways.

sarah | 9/12/2006, 5:35 pm EST

ok hinder rox i dont care wut any1 else says god

Hinderfan | 9/12/2006, 5:37 pm EST

I love OK Go and Hinder. Sure, Hinder is a lot more rock and roll. I love rock but I appreciate all genres of music.I thought the treadmill dance was entertaining. I met Hinder. Mark and Mike are super nice. I don’t think they would ever say anything like that. Let’s not diss the whole Hinder group.

Chuck | 9/12/2006, 5:50 pm EST

I had the chance to own Hinder for free, and i grabbed it cuz there was some babe in underwear on the front. I never once listened to it, and later gave it away. My theory is that blatant use of sex to sell your cd is a sign you know your music isn’t that great (rap or bitch-pop anyone?) because any horny pre-teen will buy it. As far as the other bands mentioned, I can’t stand Fall Out Boy either, but OK Go is “Ok.” Their video is funny.

Mrs. Kevin Barnes | 9/12/2006, 6:27 pm EST

Maybe Hinder should just deal with the fact that they suck so much. They sound like they belong in 1998 opening for Creed or something.

Times have moved on (thank goddddd)

OK Go is much more than treadmill dancing. I’ve seen them live and they are pretty damn amazing.

This ‘artsy New Yorker’ doesn’t give a crap about Hinder.

abraham | 9/12/2006, 6:32 pm EST

indie emo?
wtf?!
its emo!
emo cant be indie!

Kate | 9/12/2006, 6:49 pm EST

Maybe Austin was drinking before the interview. It’s the alcohol talking.Everytime I see a picture of Hinder, they have beer in their hands. If they don’t like OK GO, then don’t listen to them, don’t think or worry about them. Let everyone be. If Hinder wants to be like a rock and roll group with the sex and alcohol, then they do as they please. They should let Ok go dance on treadmills and respect what they do. I heard they dissed Chevelle,too because the group wouldn’t party with them. The guys of Hinder need to stop drinking and partying so much.It will catch up to them.

Fabulous K | 9/12/2006, 8:34 pm EST

This is the most ridiculous arguement I have ever heard. I’m pretty sure that Hinder is just jealous of all the publicity that OK Go is getting, but the OK Go guys totally deserve it. OK Go has been around since ‘98 and it was just recently that they hit it big. Hinder, on the other hand, has only been around for what, 2 years, and they’re first single is now in heavy rotation on VH1. Anyone who knows anything about Damian or the rest of the guys knows that OK Go hates MTV and think it’s a “flaming pile of crap.” They’re true indie and true rock n’ roll because they play what they want and don’t care where it ends up. I think it’s so hypocritical for Hinder to call OK Go “not rock n’ roll” when they’re the ones who are playing themselves up on VH1, the adult popular music channel. Yeah, that’s really tough and rock n’ roll, you guys.

Bob | 9/12/2006, 8:36 pm EST

Matt’s comment, “Slow news day, huh?” is the only sane comment on here. WHERE is the REST of the INTERVIEW Rolling Stone?????? All of you idiots are playing exactly where Rolling Stone wants you. Geez, such a sleezy mag.

Dee | 9/12/2006, 8:42 pm EST

I don’t know exactly what the beef is between Hinder and OK Go, but I will say that I don’t think the OK Go song is any good at all. I really think the only reason MTV gave that video a shot was because of the treadmill dance, not because of the song. I don’t know, I guess in a way I can see where the Hinder guys are coming from. They’ve sold a lot of records and I have never seen their video on MTV (VH1, yes…that’s where i first say them). I’ll sympathize….the ok go song has pissed me off since I first saw the video, because the son sucks.

and that dude from Thursday really is pretty terrible.

medman | 9/12/2006, 9:14 pm EST

I suppose that’s why Hinder sold 48,000 copies last week alone. The third single will drop soon and then watch it soar!! Dumbasses!

holy wow | 9/12/2006, 9:15 pm EST

I hate the fact that i’m now exploring this band hinder, but jesus xmas they’re worse than i thought.

check out this interview on ‘for play tv’ which includes, among other highlights, them calling buddy holly & the crickets the most effimate band ever; telling the host of the segmet to fuck himself in various ways, even though he’s a cartoon; describing groupie action in vivid detail with a story about the band sitting around watching the lead singer get a blowjob from a fan, while the guitarist plays a soundtrack to regulate her tempo; and culminates with one of the Hinder guys putting out a lit match on the scrotum of his bandmate.

these guys are charmers, to be sure!

mike a | 9/12/2006, 9:17 pm EST

*sigh*

Hinder just because you yell “I do it for the drugs” doesnt mean your pimp ass rock band that can say stuff like that about other bands.Change your stupid band name and quit sneaking into nickelbacks recording sessions.

AS for Ok Go i have no idea who the hell they are.

As for Papa Roach i didnt think they had time to diss other bands,i just assumed they were too busy changing there gimmick to do anything else.

As for all of this so called “rock” now a days.Its all pretty much crap.People like panic at the disco,fallout boy,hi fi, franz fer and something, we are scientist, bowling for soup, all american rejects, and good charlette is because RS and mtv tell them too and they dont know any better.

Real rock bands rock out, not kind of sort of rock out with some kind of voice modifier to make them sound cooler Aka she wants revenge.Granted everyone thinks the music when they were young was the best but this new muisc cant be taken seriously.

Francis Guilardi | 9/12/2006, 9:47 pm EST

I love myself and I love to hear myself talk. I love re-reading what I write on blogs because I love my hot body. My body is so clean, hard, and muscular. I love myself.

Wayne | 9/12/2006, 10:09 pm EST

can we say “out of context?” This is the ultimate teaser for RS. Of course they’re going to try to get people stirred up. That way they’ll sell more magazines. I’m interested to see the rest of the interview says.

RockGod | 9/12/2006, 11:11 pm EST

Who ever compared Axl Rose to Robert Plant deserves a round of applause, Axl rules the ground we walk on,can’t wait for Guns N Roses to drop the new album, so we can get on with our lives and get past this dark period of emo music… a lot of us are about ready to puke hearing the below mentioned bands, we all want to hear Axl scream and give us the lyrics and music our ear’s haven’t heard since 93…

taytay | 9/12/2006, 11:26 pm EST

hinder is a bunch of fucking dbags that are just jealous about the success of ok go. i have seen their video on mtv so they have no room to talk. so fuck hinder i used to like them but they can go fuck themselves

taytay | 9/12/2006, 11:27 pm EST

p.s.
now i will go home and get stoned

that song sucks

shea | 9/13/2006, 12:23 am EST

So how is some garbage prefabricated Nickelback/Creed/Puddle of Mudd/Chevelle/Shinedown/Defaul t/Breaking Benjamin knock-off, that’s as someone already said, probably only been signed because the guy that found them proclaimed them as the next Nickelback, gonna bash on a band that’s been touring non stop since fucking 1999 and constantly building a steady devoted fan base through songs that are about thing that have actually happened in their lives and their fans can relate to (I’m talking about Thursday, not OKGO as most people are) as opposed to blatently ripping off every power ballad ever written?

Unlike most here, I find it most difficult to believe a band like Hinder is hating on Thursday. Thursday may not have sold as many records as Hinder. (I’m not sure actually, Thursday has 4 moderately successful albums to account for, 2 of which being on small Indie labels Eyeball and Victory, where as Hinder has what, one major label release that was undoubtedly sent to every modern rock radio station in the country?)

Plus Geoff Rickley has a fucking amazing and versatile voice..listen to ‘This Song Brought To You By A Falling Bomb’ or ‘War All The Time’ or ‘Asleep In The Chapel’.

And to all of you using Hinder being on VH1 and having a ‘hit’ video as a means for them being a talented band, fucking Britney Spears had a number 1 video. Is she a talented musician? Hell I think Tom Green reached number one with his joke video at one point.

As far as OKGO goes, I’d much rather listen to them than Hinder, and I haven’t even heard this Lips Of An Angel bullshit.

And the guy from Papa Roach need to take his shitty band and go back under whatever fucking rock they crawled out from. Pete Wentz is a fucking genius and Fall Out Boy is going to be about 100 times more successful than Papa Roach will ever be.

I think that covers everything.

Jim | 9/13/2006, 12:42 am EST

I agree rock god, Axl Rose is the LAST great american rock star..period…kurt cobain was great too, but they didnt play rock n roll. if you are talking about classic rock n roll in the style of Aerosmtih, Zeppelin and the Stones…Guns N Roses are right there…both in album sales and name recoginition…they are a household name…I would rather listen to Axl take a dump than any of this garbage we are talking about on this blog..

Georgie | 9/13/2006, 12:44 am EST

hold on a second, Hinder needs to chill the fuck out. I dont like Ok Go by any means at all, but Hinder arent exactly ones to necassarily talk, having only one album and touring and opening for nickleback(possibly the worst crap ever recorded will be found on their album “for all the right reasons” shit is FOWL) Anyways Hinder has really slim to No cred, and instead of fully displaying their insecurities by putting down other bands to make themselves seem true to rock and as hardcore as they wish to be, they should shut the fuck up and concentrate on making better records, as far as the paparoach drummer dude i agree Pete wentz is talentless.

pete | 9/13/2006, 2:04 am EST

I’ve never heard of Hinder before this

Lisa | 9/13/2006, 7:56 am EST

I’ve never heard of Ok Go before this. Or Thursday.

JoJo | 9/13/2006, 10:41 am EST

What the hell does emo mean?
Someone tell me please?!?!

tim | 9/13/2006, 11:58 am EST

man hinder sucks more then i thought. But you cant really compare them to thursday, they are a completely different style of music but man lol what a bunch of douchebags, i dont usually critisize music or artists but these guys are jokes

Joey | 9/13/2006, 12:41 pm EST

who the fuck is hinder? if i have heard them it probably blends with all the other shit like trapt, or cold, or any of those other middle america shitnew metal/oh so rock bands.

taytay | 9/13/2006, 12:51 pm EST

axl rose is nothing compared to the rock of the 70s with zeppelin and the who and many others from that time. axl rose is a chump and as for kurt well he helped us out by shooting himself

Andy | 9/13/2006, 1:02 pm EST

if this guy is totally serious, then he is everything wrong with rock n’ Roll. Big rock bands didnt get big on hating thier peers, being political and hating the man perhaps, but not those who appeal to the same fans they entertain. that’s lame. Geoff Rickley’s (Thursday) voice isn’t Sebastian Bach by no means, but at least he has class and fronts an amazing compassionate band who takes more time to inspire people that beat down thier fellow musicians. thank heavens for the west coast bands. If the world only had bands like Hinder, we woulda nuked the rest of the world right now in my opinion. Meatheads..

Andy | 9/13/2006, 1:07 pm EST

ps. JoJo, if you wanna fill yourself in on emo, endulge yourself in “Nothing Feels Good” by Andy Greenwald. Emo is just like the punk & hardcore movements, what start out as just a way things are, it turns itself into an overexposed genre, and reinvents itself into garbage :) Check out bands: Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker & I Hate Myself.

Andrew | 9/13/2006, 1:17 pm EST

these guys have no reason to talk about thursday. they dont even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as thursday. i dont know who this guy thinks he is, saying they write good songs, they DONT.

Stupid emo poser wannabe | 9/13/2006, 2:34 pm EST

I heart hinder. Don’t say they suck or I will cry. If you say one foul word against them I’ll cut my self. I’ll do it! I swear!

I only wear black nailpolish and Listen to hinder. .

Alex | 9/13/2006, 3:21 pm EST

Okay. I honestly hate Hinder. I love Thursday. I like OK, GO.

Hinder’s sound is so un-original, and it sucks. All the little girls who are poppin’ to rap music on the block are the girls listening to that “Lips of an Angel” shit. Ok, Go and Thursday play music towards TOTALLY different kids, and they really don’t care who likes their music, and they don’t have much of an image. If you can have fun playing music that sounds alright, then I think that’s Rock and Roll. Hinder cares too much about their image…

Alex | 9/13/2006, 3:23 pm EST

and if these motherfuckers think they’re “hardcore,”…I’d fucking love to see them talk this shit about a band like Dillinger Escape Plan…

Greg Puciato…would probably fucking scissor kick one of those bastards to death…or just straight up beat the fuck out of them.

Adam | 9/13/2006, 3:34 pm EST

Wow, simply pathetic that this has turned into such an uproar. The fact here is that, rather than trying to come up with an original song…or video, Hinder has gone out of their way to recreate what countless bands before them have done. While the financial success of Hinder may outweigh those of Thursday and OK GO, take a look at the fan base of Thursday alone, despite two of their releases being Indie, they’ve managed to continuously pack shows since 1998, don’t worry everyone, Hinder will become a dated fad within months..

uh... | 9/13/2006, 3:59 pm EST

who the !@#$ is hinder? obviously a bunch of benders that wish they were original. sorry tossers but you probably shouldnt open you mouths…ever..even with a mic.

Nicky G. | 9/13/2006, 6:43 pm EST

When I read this article,it totally pissed me off! I’ve been a fan of Ok Go even before the “Here it goes again” video came out and I’ve already liked this song and the rest from their cd because they’re music and style is different and catchy from the rest, which is one of the reasons why I like them so much.OK Go has worked hard for the past 8 years to get to where they are today and I was so happy for them when they finally made it to the popular music scene with their creative indie/power pop sound and originality because they deserve it.What they do is something that no other band has done before.I totally support Damian,Tim,Andy and Dan(Ok Go)through and through no matter who says what about them.

As far as I’m concerned with Hinder, I had no problem with them even though I didn’t really like their song “Lips of an angel”.But when I found out how they feel about Ok Go,one of my top 2 favorite bands of all time, I NOW HATE THEIR GUTS AND THEIR DUMBASS SONG THAT’S NOT EVEN THAT GREAT TO BEGIN WITH!!!!Those assholes can’t talk trash about musicians who are clearly more popular than they are because they haven’t even been around that long to say who sucks and their own music rules.A lot of people haven’t even heard of you guys yet and here you are; a bunch of jealous,whiny,bitches who want to become famous by starting something with a couple of bands that haven’t done anything to you just so you can make yourselves feel big and seem like you’re a bunch of hardcore badasses saying “fucking” this and “fucking” that. All these bands you’re hating on only want to make music, entertain their fans and the public, and become a success in their own way, not the way how you want them to be!Plus, you have nothing to brag about. What do you think you’ve done so far to get the medias attention?Nothing except bitch and rip off bands that don’t brag about themselves because they’re still genuine and good natured to the public unlike you! And if you don’t like their music,change the channel or radio station just like everyone else who doesn’t like what they see or hear!And quit acting like your band is something special as if the whole world will eventually fall in love with your songs and you’ll become an international phenomenon!Belive me, that’s never gonna happen!

I’m not bothered with the fact that some people don’t like Ok Go,but to disrespect someone so badly like that without thinking a single thing about them is good or even descent,then it’s stuff like that that REALLY GETS ME ANGRY!!!!! Just say you don’t like them, don’t get pissed off and overexcited and get into all this detail of why you hate them so much.It’s stuff like that that make others hate you back,like me. Hinder,I will never,ever, forgive you for this and you sure as hell suck balls!You always have and you always will!!!

Drew | 9/13/2006, 10:06 pm EST

Why the hell would you want a new GNR album?!? that band was done 15 years ago. my god move on. everyone knows the new cd will suck if it ever comes out. axl is just a washup of his old image.

that said hinder is a joke too. you cant put one song out and think you are gods. stick around for as long as thursday has. then maybe ill have respect for you.

d money | 9/13/2006, 10:25 pm EST

Hinder are funny as fuck. Theyre badasses. I love their attitude. Their music is so cliche its great. Fuck OK GO and Thursday. Go Hinder with the cliche cock rock.

Kris | 9/13/2006, 10:37 pm EST

That would be something to witness.

Pope | 9/13/2006, 11:37 pm EST

I heard “Lips of an Angel” on the radio and thought it was pretty entertaining, but after reading this, I just gotta say Hinder is MUCH more fairy-like than Thursday and OK Go… Lips of an Angel reminds me of a softcore porn version of “Eat You Alive” by Limp Bizkit… Hinder = Big pieces of SHIT fuck you Hinder

Rachel | 9/14/2006, 12:04 am EST

Hinder is #10 on the billboard charts. I thought they were cool until I saw this disturbing video lighting the guys crotch and talking about giving a fan a blow job. They’re disgusting.

http://www.zipperfish.com/ music/hinder.php

girl w/ pink hair! | 9/14/2006, 2:17 am EST

i’m sorry that most everyone on here thinks this is the full story… since when does a mag ask a band about other bands for the whole interview.. everyone here has just as much fault as hinder does.. your bashing them, don’t you all think that your doing to them what your bitching about in the first place???? hmmm… strange how things turn out!

GROW UP!

iHeartAustinsBoots! :D | 9/14/2006, 2:24 am EST

i’m sry.. but the hinder guys are not about this.. they are about fun…. rock… and they care for their fans.. if u would actually listen to some good rock music, maybe ya’ll would understand… this is wat, one bump along the way.. no one on here is an angel.. no one has room to bitch about them… you have your likes n dislikes, and so do they.. it just so happens that they told some of their dislikes to RS, and they only posted that!

plez step back and take a look @ it for what it really is!

matt | 9/14/2006, 4:56 am EST

look we can solve this:

hinder’s lyrics-
“It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel”

Thursday’s Lyrics-
“and without conviction of heart you will never feel it at all
we all dance to the same beat when the TV tells us everything we need to know
And this scene is painting in all the fashions of the moment
And history is all the same.”

oh wait that makes PERFECT SENSE…

Brian | 9/14/2006, 9:18 am EST

Alex mentioned Dillinger and what Greg would do to Hinder if a feud broke out between them (which now that it’s been broached, I totally hope it happens). Do you remember when Avenged Sevenfold (another shit mess) ripped Dillinger? Greg’s response was perhaps the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, complete with their new A7X-style stage names. DEP will kill you all.

Miley | 9/14/2006, 2:31 pm EST

Hinder tries to be hardcore rock, and diss other bands, but they’re really not. It’s all just for show. They make it look like Hinder is all about sex, drugs, rock and roll, and groupies. It’s just an image. They have girlfriends.Some of them might even be married. Who knows? I think if you guys got to know them, you would find out they’re really great guys.

stephan | 9/14/2006, 11:17 pm EST

THURSDAY IS AMAZING

joe | 9/15/2006, 3:02 am EST

lmfao. amazing.

they are a fucking drop in the bucket compared to what thursday has done to the music world, not to mention kids worldwide.

suck a fucking dick, Hinder. what a shitty ass band. please, get hit by a bus.

Diver | 9/15/2006, 8:10 am EST

Fuck you! know ive never heard hinders music so i cant judge them, but i have heard thursday, and ok their singer may not be the best in the world but that hasn’t stoppped them making awesome music! i sense a bit of jealousy in that article

Diver | 9/15/2006, 8:11 am EST

edit- menat to say now not know my bad :S

Either way, they’re obviously desperate for attention, or just sad low lives. Or both!

James D. | 9/15/2006, 8:33 am EST

You know what the most ironic thing is? These words are coming from a band that sound like everything we’ve heard 1,000 times over

one word: jealousy

.... | 9/15/2006, 8:15 pm EST

Shawn Harris from the Matches likes Panic! at the Disco. It’s good to not hate people.

Johnny | 9/15/2006, 9:41 pm EST

Shows how much of an idiot the guy from Hinder is because Ok Go is from Chicago. These guys are from Oklahoma. I heard the Hinder album before even making a comment because I wanted to hear what makes them a different. I found the same things that bands like Default or even Nickleback sound like. They are just cloning sound.

They hate on Thursday for sounding the way they sound…dude your voice is not that great or the distinctive.

He also does not know what it is he is saying by shitting on La and Ny last i heard there was no music scene in Oklahoma that had tens of thousands of people flock there for their big break.

kayli | 9/16/2006, 6:29 pm EST

hinder is the best band right now so if u have a prblem with them than u have to go through me cause to let u know austin winkler is a great singer and a very hot guy and lips of an angel is the number one song in many states so the people that dont like them give them a chance cause they are a very good band and i happen to love them and i go to very one of their concerts and maybe you should too i love you austin

Mike27 | 9/18/2006, 1:32 am EST

Hinder sucks sooo bad. The singers voice is terrible.

eric | 9/18/2006, 2:33 pm EST

Hinder wasn’t even asked about Ok Go. They brought them up twice, unprompted. The interviewer even tried to get away from the subject in the second question.

If you watch the treadmill dance video or the dancing in the backyard video, you’ll see they’re done only for the sake of being funny. There’s nothing “fairy” about them…Maybe if Hinder had a sense of humor, they wouldn’t have such a huge inferiority complex.

Matt R. | 9/26/2006, 4:58 am EST

To Kaylie,

I suggest that you stop listening to Hinder, and start going to school so you stop writing run-on sentences. Anyway, Hinder sucks ass… Geoff from Thursday has such a unique voice… okay, maybe he can’t sing in any opera, but when he sings, it’s raw emotion. When I hear gay ass bands like Hinder playing on the radio, I get reminded just exactly WHY I don’t listen to radio anymore. Fuck you Hinder!

alexis | 10/1/2006, 1:38 pm EST

GO TO HELL, SHITBAG! I hope you choke on that over sized ego you seem to have. At least Ok Go and Thursday have a little something called ORGINALITY!! At least they dont sound like every other radio rock band out there. It must be hard being painfully generic. you’ve never met anyone from Ok Go or Thursday so who are you to judge? I know that Geoff would never be so disrespectful as to say that even if he felt that way. you know why? becausde music is sacred and is the highest form of intimacy and for you to be so appaling is incredibly disrespectful. and above all else, they respect music. now i bet most of you are assuming that i am saying this only because i am a devout thursday fan. im not. though that has a lot of impact, it is in no way fair to make such statments when you dont know the musicans or anything about the band and its influences. And an album called “extreme behavior”. yeah, thats not completely unoriginal or gay. “lips of an angel” is probably the lamest, queerest, most generic song i have ever heard. for you to say that OkGo are farries and are gay is complete bullshit. listen to your own radiorock before you make assumptions. and dude, your vocie is like 2579043 cows taking a shit at once. dont be disrespecting geoff ricklys vocice or i’ll freeking slit your throat.
so now choose…

completely lame, unoriginal, and judgemental radiorock

OR

thursday and OkGo?

the choice is clear.

mikep | 10/2/2006, 2:28 pm EST

first of all, disrespecting other bands is immature.

also, ive seen the music video for ‘lips of an angel’, and it looks like the lead singer is trying to immitate the singer from taking
back sunday in the video for ‘makedamnsure’. not to mention the song isn’t that good to begin with. the singer tries to hard to sound like chad kroeger. geoff rickley might not have the best voice, but at least its original and has emotion.

the bottom line is that in a couple years, hinder will be forgotten while original groups (like thursday) will still have a career.

Chelsea | 10/5/2006, 8:25 pm EST

Coming from a band who sings about topics like getting high and cheating on their girlfriends, I don’t think they really have a place to say what bands should be shunned because they are ‘fairies’ [which is completely stupid, just because someone is more creative than using sex appeal as a sale tool, than they're fairies? PUH-LEASE.] I really would like to have a word with that band, and maybe punch them in the face for being so ignorant.

Jennifer | 10/6/2006, 2:55 pm EST

Lips of an angel is a great song. I haven’t heard any of their other songs so I’m not a huge hinder fan but I do love that song. I’ve never heard of Thursday and I can’t stand the treadmill video nor the song by OK Go.
Let me guess now one of you kiddies on here are going to leave a comment bad mouthing me or someone else on here for their opinion… hmm maybe some of us should get a life!

Thursday | 10/7/2006, 6:56 pm EST

Hinder is just another washed up nickelback. They missed the road like 5 years ago. They have an IQ of 12 combined.

Will | 10/11/2006, 4:29 pm EST

You got to love a band that’s bringing back the whole “rock ballad that ends with the first line repeated” thing. I also love how in the video when he says the line (What ya doin callin me this laaaate?”) he’s actually on the phone singing. These guys are the new Spinal Tap. At least in OK Go’s video (I’m not exactly a fan of them either) they’re trying to be funny, whereas Hinder does it accidentally. I also saw on VH1 how one of the bands they try to model themselves after is Poison. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does.

Hinder my be the worst band ever…no joke, they couldnt sell hard rock songs to people, so they totally sold out and wrote a love song (Lips of an angel) that they knew 13 year old girls would buy…oh an OK Go is a 10 times better band than hinder will ever be, go fuck yourself Austin Winkler

Hinder – a lame a$$ band trying to get some attention by dissing OK GO. Over and over. How about this, Hinder — you do something ORIGINAL and ENTERTAINING to get some attention, instead of borrowing OK GO’s fame. OK GO is AWESOME. You are nothing. “Lips of an Angel?” Sounds like faries wrote that.

Can't stand Hinder! | 11/1/2006, 4:38 am EST

After listening to Hinder’s AWFULLY CORNY ‘Lips of an Angel’, I specifically googled ‘hate Hinder’ because I just want to see if is it just me, or a lot more people, hate Hinder? I’m happy I’m not the only clearheaded rock and roll fan here.

Prior to the interview, I’ve already hated this band for their ‘I-try-to-sound-rock-through-t his-
stupid-song-where-I-hope- nobody-
wud-notice-the-stupidi ty-of-it-
because-they’re-just -too-enthralled-
with-my-rocki sh-voice’. DUMBASSESS!

Hinder is the most SUPERFICIAL of all the rock bands out there and I can’t stand their bullshitting about cowardice in handling their relationships. COWARDS!!!!

They are a bunch of cows moving forward to musical destruction!

Enjoy your ‘fame’ while it lasts.

Melissa | 11/3/2006, 6:30 pm EST

Hinder to me sounds exactly like a mix of Nickleback and Creed, which is a horrible mix. Their songs arn’t original, and they have an ego problem, they are putting themselves on a pedistal when they dont deserve to put on one. They are acting like they are the best and most original band out there today, when they sound exactly like Nickleback and Creed, me along with tons of other people have mistaken them for those bands. And who cares if OK GO doesnt act “rock n roll”. It doesnt make them any more and any less talented, whether you like them or not. I didnt like Hinder at all, and when i heard the interview of them bashing other bands, made me dislike them even more. Stop focusing on other bands and worry about yourselves

ILL BET ANYONE | 11/7/2006, 11:34 pm EST

20$ that in 2 years or less, no one, not even there current fans will care about hinder. there have been countless bands like this that are a flash in the pan.

The Fairies Vs. The Generics | 11/17/2006, 7:40 pm EST

I don’t deeply hate Ok-Go or love them, but they are much better than Hinder. Hinder’s Music has already been written by multiple contemporaries (ie. Nickelback Staind, and Creed) and I already heard their songs when I heard various singles off of “All the Right Reasons”. At least Ok-Go has a somewhat original sound and had the brains to make a decent video on a low budget. It’s Hinder’s giant ego that really gets me. Have some purity and soul and try to make a song that doesn’t sound like something I’ve already heard, then you can criticize other bands. It’s a shame that there are much more talented artists who deserve the spotlight but will never bigger because Hinder clutter’s the airwaves.

Because idividual opinions are so great & Freedom of speech reigns
supreme in the US of A , I respect everyone that has an opinion & I’d like to add my two cents. Hinder does not “sound” like Nickelback….at all. Not that Nickelback isn’t great/ I have all NB albums & yes I purchased Extreme Behavior..twice.Got the 2nd one for autographs. See, I saw Hinder perform at Planetfest in Jax Fl a couple weeks ago & Hinder can Rock. They are awesome performers. When I met the band after the show , they were all very friendly, conversationasl & fun. There were no ego trips that I saw. They drank & partied with the fans like old friends . And as for those who think ” Lips of an Angel” sucks … When the band played that …. Man ! It brought down the house ! I happen to think Hinder is very capable of longevity and I also happen to think that OK GO’s “Here it goes again” video is the dumbest shit I have ever seen. But hey , that’s my opinion and doesn’t really mean all that much except to me . I can’t wait to see what Hinder comes up with next .

Notice how all the Hinder “fans” can’t form a real sentence, or a probably anything for that matter; just: “Hinder rocks!!!”….yeah, that showed ‘em.

chanel | 12/21/2006, 10:49 am EST

Well all i have to say is I know these guys and I know some of them have girlfriends. But they are truly good guys. And they are a blast to party with. For those of you that haven’t seen their shows maybe you should go and see how many REAL fans they have. They are great and their shows are amazing. Then, after the shows they actually take the time to meet their fans and get to know them. The whole sex/drugs/ rock n roll I have to say is just an image in a way… But even after the shows they go to the strip clubs. Since I know them personally I have to say I don’t agree with all the “Sex” part of their image going on since they have girlfriends and going to strip clubs, and using girls for one night stands- that pisses me off. But I give them credits for their music they actually wrote so people could relate to.
Everyone has their flaws…
Maybe you should give them a chance. for those of you that say they will be off the charts soon… NOPE. They are just getting started baby!!!!!!!!
You watch. They will be around for a long fucking time.
Might as well get used to them :)

Kayla&Joanie | 12/21/2006, 12:58 pm EST

I think Hinder is the bomb because Austin is sexy as hell and Ok Go can go fuck themselfs because i hate them…so fuck lay off Hinder they FUCK ROCK….

OK Go Fan | 12/23/2006, 3:01 pm EST

Do all you people truly hate OK Go because you hate them, or because you just found out Hinder hated them and you want to be ‘cool.’

OK Go is far superior to Hinder in about every way possible.

Anonymous | 1/9/2007, 4:38 pm EST

Hahahahahaha

I died laughing when I heard that a band as crappy as Hinder actually had the nerve to complain about the quality of music about another band. Hahahahahahahahaha

Hinder has to be one of the crappiest bands in music today. They are in no position to complain about the state of music regarding other bands then attempt to take the high road, like they are great artists.

Here is a bit of advice for Hinder. Before you start mouthing off about the quality of music of other bands, please create worthwhile music first. It makes you look like a bunch of knuckleheads when the crappiest band in America has the gall to complain about the quality of music of other bands.

Trina | 1/9/2007, 11:00 pm EST

Hinder is a good band they have an awesome singer and amazing lyrics but they really should learn how to control theirselves better and express how they feel about other bands better because it just gives people that don’t like them already more ammunition to sling at them and throw it all up in their face and I was very upset that they’d have the nerve to say those things they did about Kurt Cobain just as I was upset about what the band Oasis said about him first off who the fuck are they?they honestly have no fuckin room to be talking about Kurt Cobain because he stood up for people in his lyrics when no one else would listen so you have no right to call him a whiney ass and as for Oaisis you little bitches i’ve never heard of oh and you said your glad Kurt Cobain is dead fuck off Kurt Cobain is not dead and never will be he has millions of fans that will always keep him alive and you maybe have emo fuckin fans that are just into you because they think its cool I hate fucking fake people their fucking pathetic… And now for OK GO! ya’ll are a bunch of pansy asses your not real rock you don’t even compare your barely even there you managed to make it into fame by some stupid tricks on a fuckin treadmill how pathetic is that?very pathetic don’t quit your day jobs because your fame won’t last long ya’ll are fake just as greenday,goodcharlotte,and simple plan ya’ll will never be true rockers all ya’ll are is a bunch of fake bitches who just think their so cool because they have alot of fans that like them because their a bunch of emo fucks who whine about their lives when nothings wrong in them and what is they brought on theirselves and thats all I have to say about that!!! RIP Kurt Cobain!!!

Pigfucking Hinder | 1/12/2007, 3:59 am EST

Stupid ass faces? Have those ugly bastards bought a mirror? One look at that band and you now know why brothers and sisters should never have kids. Yeah, thanks for the advice on “real” rock n roll shitheads, maybe every band should have at least one guy in the group named “Blower”…cuz thats what real rock bands do you worthless fucks. Go back to Oklahoma Hinder you talentless garbage.

Trina | 1/13/2007, 8:02 am EST

to the one that just wrote the shit about hinder obviously your a little punk ass that likes greenday because hinder has talent and obviously your fuckin blind if you think that ok go’s fuckin band members aren’t fucking hideous to look at they need to put bags over their fuckin heads just so people will stay at their concerts as they perform you don’t have to always fucking rock out to be a good musician anyone with common sense would know that you dumbass so unless you’ve got some kinda intelligence in your fuckin head don’t say nothing fuckin else…

fuck hinder | 1/13/2007, 10:51 pm EST

everyone needs to stop using the “fuck you hinder rocks cause austin is hot!” line. it’s getting old. him being hot has nothing to do with the fact that hinder fucking blows and clearly shows they have a shitty singer just to attract pre-pubescent girls’ parent’s money to their shows and cds

VERY MAD OK GO FAN | 1/15/2007, 9:11 pm EST

UGHHHHHHHH FUCK ALL OF YOU FUCKING HINDER BANDS YOU NEED TO ROT IN FUCKING HELL WITH THE BAND. YOU ALL DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE. YOU’RE WORTHLESS LITTLE SHITHEADS WHO ARE BRAINWASHED TO DO WHATEVER THE FUCK THE BAND TELLS YOU TO.

AND HINDER, WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY CRITIC OTHER BANDS MUSIC WHEN YOU’RE FAR LESS TALENTED THAN THEM?! YOU ARE NOT OK GO, AND YOU’RE JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT.

YOU WILL NEVER BE OK GO. YOU DON’T HAVE THE BRAIN CAPACITY TO ACTUALLY WRITE ORIGINAL MUSIC AND MAKE IT BIG.

OK GO MADE IT BIG BECAUSE OF THEIR CREATIVITY AND TALENT. THEY’RE ON TV BECAUSE THEY’RE TALENTED.

IT ANGERS YOU TO SEE THE SUCCESS THAT THEY’RE GETTING–AND DESERVE–AND YOU GET JEALOUS AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO WRITE BETTER MUSIC YOU JUST CALL THEM FUCKING FARIES. REAL NICE. IT SHOWS HOW FUCKING SMART AND MATURE YOU ALL ARE.

YOU THINK YOU’RE SO MUCH BETTER?

THINK AGAIN.

AND THEN GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE.

BECAUSE THATS AL YOU DESERVE.

Hinder Blows | 1/16/2007, 4:42 pm EST

Hinder is a fucking joke. The only thing worse than their music are their white trash fans who have a combined I.Q. of a fucking turnip. Rot in hell you fuckin morons, while youre down there get some ears and realize what real music is. Bwahahahahaha.

Ever heard of a period? Try using one you retarded fuckin Hinder fan.

um yeah | 1/23/2007, 12:14 am EST

um guys we all know that hinder sucks the big one(in many ways) and i can actually listen to ok go for like 10 min. before it sounds like a broken record. but they r good (especially when compared to hinder) but neither of these bands has anything on truly meaningful music like bright eyes or the progressiveness of such bands like sounds of animals fighting or fall of troy and for sure none of the singers in any of these bands (especially hinder)(excluding bright eyes) have anything on cedric bixler dear god the man can sing beter than anyone ive heard lately (respect to freddie mercury and robert plant, 2 of the greatest vocalists of all time) um yeah

Dimevision | 1/23/2007, 11:37 pm EST

I decided to give some people my input,from the heavy metal fan’s perspective. I hated Hinder as soon as “lips of an angel” came out. when all the preps at my school started singing it it made me want to jump off a building. If they think they’re even close to that “rock n’ roll” image, then they’re delusional. The instruments in their music are hardly audible, and their vocalist needs to get off the shitter and actually SING…not moan while constipated. If they wanna be “rock n’ roll” then they need to go to the school of AC/DC.
So, if you douchebag members of Hinder read this…don’t judge someone about doin their own thing, which you guys AREN’T doing. Im not an ok-go or Thursday fan, but don’t judge people on their originality you fuckheads.
Well….I’m gonna get off of my rant and listen to some old school Black Sabbath….REAL ROCK!
My rant’s over….bombard me with as many insults as you want Hinder and Hinder fans….FYI “you’re jealous because austins hot” isn’t a good defense for them. Looks don’t matter.

Hinder blows ass | 1/30/2007, 4:26 pm EST

Trina | 2/1/2007, 9:59 am EST

oh yeah and while you little fucks are at it grow up and come up with some new shit to say about hinder because you all damn well know that their not the worst artist that has come out this year you just hate them so much that you’d call them that and thats ok that you hate them theres many artists that i can’t stand but do not fucking lie its so much easier to express that you hate hinder than fucking lie about them but now i’m gonna leave you little boys to play with yourself it seems you’ve got all the time in the world for that… think twice before starting shit with me you little twits…

The Lunchbox | 2/2/2007, 1:03 pm EST

I thought you had to be a quality act before you could start talking smack about another band! Let’s be serious, these guys are playing music that we’ve all heard before, only not playing as well. The guy can’t sing and their image is confused. I don’t know why they have to play like their hard asses for. How much of a hardass can you be if your touring with Nickleback and Hoobastank?

Katee | 2/6/2007, 6:48 pm EST

Why isn’t anyone defending Thursday?

Hinder seriously need to get a grip on their egos and learn that dissing other bands, who never said anything about them, isn’t a way to get ahead in the music business.

And WTF. That Hinder guy is saying that Geoff Rowley has a sucky voice?
Does he even listen to his own music? Everytime I hear a Hinder song I get a headache cuz the guys freaking voice sounds like hes coughing up a hair ball.

This is a stupid, generic, ‘hinder sucks’ comment. But hey, I need to defend Thursday.

Bateman | 2/19/2007, 11:23 am EST

even if they do have and ego and ok go are supposively faeires i like the bands cause of there music, seriously if the music is good then i dont care shit about there personal life
many music fans should think like that

[[The Cashew]] | 4/10/2007, 11:00 pm EST

so yeah. hinder makes me want to get stabbed in the vagina with a knife that is clearly not sterile. mostly because they perform major fellatio and they sound like nickelback.

yeah, nickelback does all that, too.

seriously. i told everyone in my class before graduation that i was going to murder them because they voted on that fucking retarded “Photograph” song by nickelback as our graduation song. that band [[if you could even call them a band...ugh.]]

i swear to God. it’s not about graduating. if you’d listen to the fucking lyrics, whatever-the-fuck-his-name-is frontman [[his voice sounds like he has an SOS pad stuck in his throat =D ]] clearly states that he was a fuck-up and quit school. then, when he got old and couldn’t find a good job because he was retarded, he contemplates going back to school so he can graduate and maybe re-live some of his good times. even though he’s probably too old and everyone will make fun of him. it wouldn’t be cool like in Billy Madison or something.

anygay, that was my rant on nickelback.

and hinder?

they don’t even deserve to be in Rolling Stone. i mean, come on…”Lips of an Angel”?

what the fuck, Rolling Stone? what. the. FUCK?!

get a fucking life, hinder.

Geoff Rickley’s voice is orgasmic.

and to the dude who mentioned Cedric Bixler? yeah, he’s the shit.

and Hinder needs to take a big long whiff of it.

schneicp | 5/21/2007, 2:03 pm EST

I liked Hinder for awhile, but their music is empty, there is no room for your own view on the songs, their lyrics are basic and sound like I wrote them when I was 16 comlpaining about my ex. Seriously look at the other bands out there right now, compared Hinder is just a phase and I don’t think they are going to make it unless they change what they write about. They need an amazing follow up album otherwise they are old news. And as of right now they say they are all about rock, um….they have more sixteen year old girls listening to their music than OK GO, which in my book makes them the “fairies”, or pop stars. I’m bored with them, lets talk about real musicians, ones who respect all kinds of music, and aren’t disrespect to other genres…..

OK Go actually make original, fun music. Dorks? Totally, but at least they aren’t a horrid next-generation Creed rip-off. The lead singer sounds like a cross between Scott himself and Michael Bolton.

I can’t stand Screamo myself, but Hinder isn’t doing any better of a job. They’re creating the most annoying, by-the-numbers ballads that have been on the airwaves in years.

nicole | 8/30/2007, 3:26 pm EST

Mid-European | 5/20/2008, 7:25 am EST

What on earth do you guys have against Creed? Except for Scott’s too extravagant behaviour on the stage they did a great rock music, one of the best ever. If somebody can’t see it, they don’t understand rock music. And that’s what we forget about- music is important, not what sb said or did. Hinder guys probably overdid it with what they said, I don’t know, I’ve never actually heard about OK GO or THURSDAY and have no idea what they play. But what irritates me is when somebody says Creed or Staind, or even Hinder is not a ROCK music. Their music fills the whole room! Clean your ears guys.
P.S.: I like Guns N Roses as well, but compare AXL’s voice to that of Stapp’s or Winkler’s- it’s impossible.
P.S. 2: Sorry for mistakes if there are any, I’m not a native English speaker.
P.S. 3: To all you American guys on both sides of the ‘conflict’, you don’t know how lucky you are you have such bands. If you’re real rock fans, you would’t survive in my country!

the truth | 9/12/2008, 5:03 pm EST

Both bands suck donkey cock. But OK Go just sucks, meanwhile Hinder may be one of the worst bands of all time.

And please, for the love of God, don’t call it neo grunge, that is embarrassing to a genre that was once very good

’s all it is.
first off, “use me”
lifts about 3 hooks from motley crue songs, which is just bad in its own right. and that video is the most sexist, misogynistic, testosterone filled piece of posing bullshit. That ain’t rock n roll, and Hinder just makes me want to get on stage and show ‘em
what real motherfucking rock n roll is.

Okay seriously the majority of you need to stop dissing Hinder because they voiced their oppinion on Ok Go and Thursday which happened to be negative. But seriously you shouldn’t just diss a band because they dissed yours. Everyone disses everybody. It’s just a part of fucking life and the people who don’t have one need to grow up. Hinder in my oppinion has fucking amazing music and at least with their lyrics you can relate to it. And their cocky atitudes are quite amusing. Every band is different and isn’t just some rip off version of another. God it’s just their oppinion get over it and move on. Everyone has a right to voice theirs but that doesn’t mean to you have to take it seriously.

Hey bug, name one band that someone hasn’t said to themselves, “Dude, I can totally relate to those lyrics.” That’s what I thought. I hate hinder, I won’t even give them the dignity of capitalizing their name, because they think they are the absolute shit. They were fine when get stoned came on the radio, then that God awful lips of an angel started playing every five minutes. No, people, you can’t relate to that song, unless you and your ex are still in love but seeing other people, people that you love also but still love each other more but refuse to do anything but whine about being broken up when you could be giving your ex another chance OR thinking about why the break up happened. It’s that song that ruined the band for me. It’s played off as a sweet, lovely romantic style of song when in reality it’s about being with a chick and still bagging your ex at the same time while she’s doing the exact same thing. Winkler, spare us of your whining and sing about something that matters and clear your throat before putting your mouth on the mic.

the only way I would go to a hinder show is if I was promoting it and making lots of money cuz that is what it would take for me to listen to their crap for more then 15 seconds lots of cash

Trina B. | 2/25/2009, 12:20 pm EST

Hey everyone! I usually don’t respond to this crap, but I’m just furious about what I’ve read!!!!! I’ve heard OK GO, and was not impressed, but EVERYONE has their own opinion on what music they like! And the right to defend their bands/music, -yes, Hinder needs to respond a little more lightly about bands they don’t like or whatever-maybe they do know each other and it’s personal, we’ll probably never know.

But Hinder is AMAZING! If you’ve ever been to a show, you’d know that. They bring back the FUN in rock. They put on a kick ass show, then hang out with fans and get to know them-not only for their first cd, but every time, every show. I have met them a few times and they are all great guys, they love their fans. And their music is great! And to the guy talking about the song “Use Me”–talking about it had 3 Motley Crue cords: MICK MARS ACTUALLY PLAYED IN THE SONG!!!!! The guys from Hinder went to Mick’s home and recorded it with him!!!! So, they didn’t STEAL anything, just borrowed the GOD himself to help them out and the song is awesome!!! I bet if you look at some of the inside of your cd’s or whatever, you’d find alot of 80’s metal musicians names in them as producers, extra guitar, whatever… If you’d take the time to read something, you might’ve figured that out! So, everyone LAY OFF Hinder!!!!! And not in any defense to Hinder, but yes, Austin is hot-but he’s taken.

Personally, this whole thing is stupid. Hinder is a good band, and for all you fuckers that are going on and on about Hinder just being Nickelback wannabees and shit…grow the fuck up. I mean, what is the Nickelback Hinder thing? Is it just cuz it’s cool to hate them.

I know about the Treadmill video, and that’s all i know about ok go. i can’t remember the song, or what it’s about or any thing. Hinder has song’s you can remember and love and feel good about.

Mick Mars actually played on Take it to The Limit, not Use Me.

Though i do agree that bashing is not a good thing, i always think that people shouldn’t bash a band just because they bashed your band. All the Ok Go people on here can’t honestly tell me that had it been the other way around you wouldn’t be happy.

I think Hinder could have done better job at expressing their dislike of Ok Go, and i am a Hinder FAN! I love Hinder, and i think this was harsh. I don’t like Ok Go, but because i can’t remember the name of the treadmill song to save my life, let alone how it goes and that’s only song by them i know. Hinder’s song’s just stuck with me from the very first time i heard them.

And whoever it was that said lips is just about being with a girl and bagging your ex at the same time while she’s doing it too, for you information, the song is not about cheating, it’s about WANTING to cheat…tho that still isn’t a good thing, and it was a true experience that Austin had.

and the “clear your throat before putting your lips to mic” person, you’re just ignorent.

Hinder sucks.
That is all.

Quote: I love the song lips of an angel it is rock n roll.

@sarah: Yes, songs about a pussy that won’t break up with his girlfriend for someone else are totally rock enn roll. I hope you get a boyfriend just like your beloved Hinder. maybe then you’ll get to FEEL those darn rock enn roll FEELings hinder has to struggle with :’( (tear)

fauk rockers | 4/12/2009, 11:57 pm EST

EFF these pompous faux rockers! A band that SUCKS has no room to talk smack about other bands. You got played on the radio. wow. All of a sudden you think you’re an effing artist. Think about what they put on the radio now…is the quality really that great? Think about that you pompous assholes when you’re making your next shitty album.

Superstarseven | 4/22/2009, 8:53 am EST

Wow, people are still responding to this? Let it go.

Kristina | 6/13/2009, 12:16 am EST

Hinder is quite possibly the shittiest generic rock band in modern day music. Crap lyrics, no talent on their instruments, every video with half naked skanks and alcohol…nice to know you can get a legion of idiots to follow you as long as you have a gimmick. Hope this band dies when their tour bus drives off a cliff.

Chris | 7/11/2009, 10:52 pm EST

Hinder sucks and are biters….. still lost on how they can call any band at all sucky

alex | 7/25/2009, 11:56 pm EST

In my opinion, Hinder are the fakest of the fake. I’ve given them a few chances and it is apparent that the only thing their vocalist knows how to do is whine, their guitarists only know… what… three bar chords? while they’re bassist and drummer are in the lead for some of the most boring and unoriginal musicianship I have ever heard.

Their songs have, what?, three power chords and a solo break? Get over yourselves guys.

As for “emo.” I really was never a fan or a hater. I just don’t care.

Oh, and the last sentence Austin whats-his-fuck said was a crack up.

“I mean, they got on MTV , the VMA awards and they got on there and danced like a broadway show. That’s not fucking rock ‘n roll, that’s not rock ‘n roll at all.”

Oh, and sitting on a bed, crying about your ex,tinkering around with your Epiphone that you don’t know jack shit about and recycling the same bullshit riff/lyric/beat over and over again IS? Do your homework ass-hole. Hmm, here’s an idea buddy, maybe you’d have more “street cred” if you took it upon yourself to WRITE A SONG IN A DIFFERENT FUCKING KEY FOR ONCE!!!!

alex | 7/25/2009, 11:59 pm EST

Not to mention, they’re acting like they’re in the sixth grade, sitting on their asses pointing fingers and thinking music is a popularity contest.

Jen | 10/6/2009, 12:47 am EST

LOL wow the irony…a complete shit band making fun of other bands for being shit. Im not a fan of emo or any scene movement, but id rather stab my ears out with an ice pick than ever buy a Hinder CD. Fuck you Hinder, you suck!
