What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member? (kbin.social)

My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole.

I think he's the primary reason FFDP is mocked so badly.

I feel you on ffdp.

And it sucks because their sound is great. And I dig his vocals. But gods damn, the lyrics are just so juvenile, fratboyish, edgelord bullshit most of the time. Like, if you take individual songs, it isn't too bad; nothing wrong with a little bit of lyrical bullshit now and then. But it's pretty much every song, so it wears thin after a while.

Yeah, they sound good, his voice is great. I like American Capitalist (I just assume it's satire) and and Wrong Side of Heaven makes me feel some shit (being a veteran), they're covers are pretty good, but a lot of it falls flat or just eh.

Far from home is above and beyond their best song imo, followed by coming down

Fair opinion. The Bleeding put them on the map for a reason too. Maybe I'll give FFDP some more listens.

It's when he gets into the "Why does everyone hate me" and "FUCK EVERYONE WHO'S NOT LIKE ME AND CAN'T HANDLE ME I DRINK MONSTER, FUCK EVERYONE RAHHH!!" rhetoric is where he gets really unbearable.
