You want the beef ?? YOU CANT HANDLE THE BEEF !!!!

About Me

Monkeybeef is an ongoing mission to prove that talent and musical ability are not really necessary if all you want to be is a hard rocking bastard. Using ten chords I plan to conquer the world of rock, writing songs using about as much effort as most people use to make toast. However bad it gets, at least its not Goth ..!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/19/2006
Band Website: info coming soon
Band Members: Monkeybeef is Daves shite efforts, with occasional contributions from P ( better guitarist, uses whiskey as fuel ) and Mr Wuh ( sent me a CD of drum loops, also handy at guitar )
Influences: Tenacious D, Chili Peppers, Audioslave, Wolfmother, Foo Fighters, Emo music ( we can all learn from THAT fucking mistake ) Reef, The Answer, The Stone Roses, Nine Inch Nails, DJ Shadow, Various Funk and Blues types who's names I cant remember, Jimi Hendrix, Old Skool Dance Music , Arctic Monkeys (no relation-I thought of Monkeybeef before I'd heard of them) and too many more to list.....Not influenced by all those singer/songwriters who keep popping up with their similar bland ballads that make me want to climb into my own head and disconnect my ears from my brain ( though some would say I already did ), oh and Coldplay- I don't understand what its for, you can't dance to it , mosh to it, or even sing along to it once your balls have dropped ! I suppose if you had the opportunity you cold throw a Coldplay CD at James Blunt and decapitate him !!! A man can dream.....
Sounds Like: Under rehearsed-Under produced-Lo-Fi-no class-balls out carnage-with a nice melody every now and then.....And singing like a wailing bag of cats hitting a wall.Probably the musical equivalent of a car crash....!
Record Label: PullMyFinger
Type of Label: None

Bleeding from my ears....

Had an awesome jam last night with P and Tom ( drummer ). Amps didn't quite go up to 11, ( have to write it on with a pen next time ) but definitely loud enough to cause brain damage. If anyone from H...
