Bruce Springsteen Sucks

I've been meaning to get a post about how much I don't like Bruce Springsteen and how much he sucks up sooner ... since he was announced as the Super Bowl Halftime act this year ... and am just getting it in before the 'wire'.


Yes, "The Boss" is this year's Super Bowl halftime act and as is my tradition for every Super Bowl I have ever watched, I will not watch one second of the halftime act.  Furthermore, without watching Bruce perform, I can safely say that his show will suck because he sucks.

Is there really anyone in the music industry that is labeled as a 'legend' and sucks more than him?  It would be tough to come by but I am definately open to those suggestions.

I think "Born In The USA" came out when I was like 12 or 13 and sure, I was entertained at that time but it only took a couple of listens of that song to see how much it really sucks and how it became popular is probably more due to the 'message' than the music.  And what is the 'message' of that song?  Well, duh, it is simply "Born In The USA" ... for you see, the entire lyrics to that song is one chorus that references the gas fires down by the refinery and then repeat "Born In The USA" for the remainder of the song ... pure musical genius is Bruce.  His other 'hits' or probably not hits, just songs by him that I can recall being played somewhere at sometime include something like 159 channels and nothing on, Pink Cadillac, Tunnel Of Love and Ghost Of Tom Joad ... all crap, crappier and crappier.  

What really gets me, is how someone is able to get away with essentially putting out this garbage and being seen as a "Rock Legend" or even a "Rocker" of any sort.  Obviously Bruce has a great P.R. department and maybe some other tricks that have idiots think his music is awesome, but it is probably more that his music is so stupidly simple that the droves of simpletons in the world flock to him like a bug-zapper.

Interesting that someone who obviously hates America so much as this loser gets to perform in one of the country's most watched televison events... great job, NFL, for allowing this leftist idiot to get so much exposure. Count me out!

Read the damn lyrics

I totally agree with you. His voice is horrible, and songs suck. His band sucks and no musician ever considers them anything special.

Actually, I think a lot about "the boss" sucks, but the lyrics of Born in the USA are kind of cool. I suppose I was about the same age as you then and didn't get the full meaning. But I am older now and understand what this country went through due to the war in Vietnam. Just read the lyrics as the person before said. It makes sense. The whole culture of the 1980s is full of Vietnam references and how it was still affecting things. Think "The A-Team" for example. It's all there. Anyway, I agree but still none the less...

Great lyrics don't make great songs perse, and Springsteen - and Dylan for that matter- is the perfect example for this. Otherwise we could hear some great writers sing great songs, but gladly we don't.

I never understood that Bruce Springsteen is called a "rock fenomena", either. Saying that he "rocks" is the same statement that Mickey Mouse is a sexsymbol. Come on, people, it's much to wimpy for rock.

Saw a show the other day on tv, and allthough I didn't like the music, I wondered why Bruce is that great, so I really tried to give it a chance by watching this show, and....

..it was pathetic. The only member of the e-street band having a good time was the drummer and the Boss. The rest were playing with one foot in the grave allready, like some underpaid mercenaries. So much for rock and rock.

Bruce springsteen sucks with stupid and annoying lyrics and voice thats really annyoing and his songs just buzz around where they are played.

Bruce totally sucks and here is the real reason why. He needs at least 15 other band members to make music to make up for his lack of talent. Am I the only one to notice this? And when he tries to tone it down a bit, he is exposed to knowing only a few basic chords on his guitar. Whoever coined him as "The Boss" was a hypocritical moron. Oh, that's right, He Himself declared himself that. Another New Jersey misfit. Jim Morrison would kick his ass if he were alive.

YOU ALL SUCK!
HE IS THE BEST!
SUCK IT UP RIGHT WINGERS!

Joe Bob said...

Yeah, Springsteen is awful, just awful, the hoax of the century. I once thought the reason he's so popular is because he's a Jew, and the Jew-controlled media created him, but then I come to learn he actually was not raised a tribesman after all. That the NFL would feature this America-hating jagoff is just another reason to turn off the NFL.

Whatever said...

This guys voice has got to be the crappiest that has ever succeeded! Even Bob Dillen excels beyond this idiot. Which tells you loads about his so called fans--they have absolutely no judgement of good music. When I fart it sounds better then his voice. He even has the Tom Cruise syndrome--if someone doesn't agree with him, they're less then dirt. What a sh!t head. If I met him, I'd tell hime just how much he sucks and to kiss my hairy white a$$. And no, I am no right winger, so ya'll lefties can kiss my hairy white a$$ too.

YEA I CAN'T STAND THAT MOTHER FUCKER... HE SOUNDS LIKE SHIT... LIKE HE'S TAKING A SHIT. MAYBE THE ONLY TOLERABLE SONG IS 'DANCING IN THE DARK' BUT STILL HE JUST PLAIN S U C K S ! ! ! !

"Is there really anyone in the music industry that is labeled as a 'legend' and sucks more than him?"

I can think of two. (1) Bob Dylan and (2) John Lennon.

You're a fucking moron. Bruce is The Boss.

I think he has good things to say, but I do agree that his voice sounds a lot like a constipated donkey. I'm trying to learn to sing myself and I suck at it, but listening to the Boss lay it down with passion despite his obviously fecal voice actually helps me feel better about myself! If only he was coming up in more modern times they could have auto-tuned him or something.

Anonymous said...

You miserable idiot... he is not the greatest singer, but he is a pretty damn good guitarist, and as a writer, he is peerless. His writing is absolutely prolific, and much of it is brilliant. I know this is all opinions, and just like assholes, we all have them. You just happen to be one.

Buck Obamba said...

Bruce Springsteen must be a Jew. That a no-talent left-wing asshole like him could be so famous can only be explained by one thing: He's a dirty Jew.

Whats funny about u guys comments, is that Springsteen and the e street band just got voted the best american rock band of all time. And there is no bias because the vote was by gibson mag, and Springsteen plays a fender. So u guys are fucking pathetic

SayOw said...

Gibson mag must like crappy music if they voted "The Boss" as the best.

Bruce is still one of the worst on my list.

Douche Springsteen had his time. But like bubblegum rock of the 60's, his time has long passed. His lyrics and music were trite, and his songs do not stand up well. He is best relegated to Oldies stations; so we can listen and 'remember when'. He also cultivated his image as a working class hero, but is just a poser. And now he suffers from 'rich man's guilt'. He is paid obscene money to entertain, and knows it is way out of line for what he contributes to society. As for his political commentary, I think of Douche like the organ grinder's monkey. I would prefer that, like the monkey, Douche just keep his cake hole shut and entertain me.

Bruce Springsteen is the best of all time!!! All you bitches that disagree can go fuck yourselves!!! He is the best of all time!! The only problem I have is that he is a democrat. Besides that, he is the best rock star of all time and the best musician.

Anonymous said...

I think there is a reason why he is called "The Boss". Maybe because bosses are assholes.

This guy si a one trick pony, and he knows how many chords? Three.

Verse. Chorus. Verse. Chorus. Solo. Chorus. Rinse. Repeat.

fuck you Bruce, and all of your dipshit fans.

He sings like he's constipated trying to take a shit.

That's what he sounds like.

Straining to drop a load.

Randy said...

no bias from Gibson magazine? you're fucking joking right? Lol. it's a magazine.. of course it's biased. and saying Bruce Springsteen is talented is just a flat-out lie. its not a matter of opinion.. he can't sing, he couldn't play guitar to save his life, writes the most basic composition formats.. he sucks. he's just like every other mainstream 80s band, they only made it famous because most of the listeners were on heroin or other prescriptions without even knowing it. pleeeeeenty of great musicians out of the 80s, but I know none of you have ever heard of em. heh.

Springshit is a Gary U.S. Bonds tribute singer. YouTube Gary U.S. Bonds, you'll hear it immediately. This fartpipe Shitsteen is a plagairizing piece of crap, and if it weren't for the tone deaf brain dead ginos in Jersey, none of us would ever have had heard of this no talent crap bag. Die Springsteen Die!

pjscirkus said...

Stinksteen made it because Clive Davis at Capitol was in dire straights with no better artists in 1975. I took demos to him that year, and after hearing only half, he stopped it saying he needed something else. Then he said. "Christ, we can't find a talent that is clilcking with people. Even Springsteen is the bottom of the barrel. If it wasn't for that E band or whatever it is, he'd be nothing!"

Anonymous said...

Loose Bedsprings is bad, really bad. I can't get to the radio dial fast enough to change it when I hear one of his songs come on. In additon so sounding bad, he is as big a hypocrite as there is in the entertainment industry. Working class? Give me a break. SPRINGSTEEN IS THE ONE PERCENT but nobody is camping out on his gigantic lawn in protest. THE BOSS would rather support politicians who will tax us more to pay for government give-aways so he can feel better about himself.

I don't hate the man. His voice sucks and always has. I actually can't understand a word he grunts. Its embarassing when we throw him up on stage with somebody good like Paul McCartney.

It reminds me when they talk about a "good" country song these days. You mean you wrote more words to a slow version of Summertime Blues? Its a conspiracy of suckhood. I'm all for wrapping myself in the flag but don't put crappy music to it. Sorry Hank, Merle, Johnny...I don't mean you guys.

Bruce is a shaved monkey with a guitar in his hands. I take that back. Monkeys are much higher up the evolutionary ladder.

Bruce Springsteen definitely sucks. He is a horrible guitar player with terrible technique, his voice is horrible and his songs suck too. I laugh out loud when I see the "Born in the USA" video with fist in the air screaming at the top of his lungs, "Born in the USA" over and over again. How could anyone think that this is good music?

Anonymous said...

He's surrounded by too many "yes" men to know that his recent "faux" woody guthrie accent and music are awful. But his early music and concerts were incredibly great. I would like to know what happened.

Anonymous said...

He fakes that southern accent really badly.
But he may eventually develop a Chinese southern twang to his voice when he gets older. Older? Actually he is old.
Working class? I don't think so, actually if you listen to the "river" it sounds like being working class is the worst thing that could happen to you!
So much so you may wish to drive your new $100000 million dollar car into the nearest river like he does not.
HE himself "Goes down to his heated indoor swimming pool and not to the river.
All his songs are about somebody who hates his life working at the car wash and so forth Translation "Poor you he he he I am rich and you are not but I am like you working class". You mean privileged class don't you Bruce?

Mr.BS waits till the last minute to cancel his show in NC because of his political beliefs and van zant says they wanted to hurt NC finacially. This Carolina boy will never forget that and I can assure one empty seat at his future performances here.

I was a huge Springsteen fan back in the 1970s and early 1980s. I left
when "Born in the USA" came out and he became huge. I think I just grew up
and did not need his music anymore. Some of my friends went on this ride with him their whole lives even taking their children to his concerts.

I do not hate him or love him. I realize he is a person period just like all of us. I just choose not to worship or hate idols.

I was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) when I was 46 years old 2 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help. The medical team did even less. My decline was rapid and devastating. my arms weakened first, then my hands and legs. Last year, a family friend told me about DOCTOR JAMES Herbal mix medicine and his effectiveness in treating l ALS , I contacted him. and ordered for his herbal mix medicine, i was happy to report the treatment effectively treated and reversed my Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), most of the symptoms stopped, i was  able to walk and eat well, sleep well and exercise regularly., i'm  pretty active now and my attitude is extremely positive.i joyfully recommend you to DR.JAMES  because health is wealth this is a very bad experience with those living with ALS  or any other diseases like Shingle,schizophrenia,Bipolar, Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Bladder Cancer,Colorectal Cancer,Breast Cancer,Kidney Cancer,Leukemia,Lung Cancer,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Fibromyalgia,a

Bruce is a lame musician and piece of shit. I do not know of any real musicians that like him.

Siouxwinterlodge said...

He's a total poser. He never was a working man, his childhood was with rich parents in a house on Cherry Hill. He's not in the business to do anything but make money and pander to the left. At best he is a mediocre guitarist, a braying donkey at the microphone, and putting out frustrated sexual angst at the age of 70 is not only creepy, but pathetic. Total fake.
