There really should be a buttrock thread. |

Thirty Seconds to Mars is less butt rock and more just butt

The beauty of the genre is that the bands are both "butt" and "rock" at the same time!

Yeah I don't consider 30stm butt rock at all.
The rest of that list is accurate.

Stone Sour is really great at showcasing the buttrock value prop. If Corey has stuff that is off-brand for Slipknot it just gets thrown into the SS woodpile.
Slipknot itself is basically buttrock at this point, so its helpful for categorization purposes.

oh lord the 30stm song about trump that's all over q101 is just so amazingly horrendous.
but their new stuff is so electronic-based that i'd prefer to lump it into whatever the Chainsmoker brand of edm is. BDM?
no, wait...

I have not listened to 30stm in forever but maybe I should.
I agree that those are good heuristics for determination. "Could this get played at an arena football game?" "Would this be appropriate for a show on the WB?" "Does this seem like good background music for a 2005 WWE PPV?"

Would it be the non-classic rock that I hear on a construction site.

I think it depends on what station is and how adamant the DJs are on it being REAL rock

the only 3 bands in the article blue42 linked to that are trapper kept are chevelle (beat kitchen show), 3 days grace (summerfest), and 30STM (lolla chile). I'd think that a band like Ratt or like Motley Crue could be considered the grandfathers of butt rock.

From that list that are in the Trapper Keeper: Puddle of Mudd (I saw them as a local KC band right before the lead singer fired the entire band, moved to CA, and got big) Anberlin (REALLY can't stand this band, awful, awful) Thirty Seconds to Mars (at Lolla, ..."I hope Jared Leto falls from that rope ladder...) I'm sure there are many others. I took my son to a few Ozzfests in my time. |

"Would this be appropriate for a show on the WB?" " Does this seem like good background music for a 2005 WWE PPV?" This is probably the most consistently accurate of butt rock metrics. The following bands have conducted the WWE RAW opening theme since 1997: Marilyn Manson The Union Underground Papa Roach Nickelback Shinedown Papa Roach (again, different song) As a bonus, the following bands have been responsible for the Smackdown theme songs since the show's inception in 1999: Marilyn Manson Drowning Pool Divide the Day Green Day Basically, the only theme music either show has used that is not from a certifiable butt rocker is that of in-house composers (Jim Johnston in the past, CFO$ in recent years). I'm not including NXT themes in the discussion because they tend to use heavier stuff like Code Orange, Power Trip and Baroness, but that's also part of the brand's "underground" gimmick. |

I spent a lot of time in a rental car with Sirius radio this weekend, and I feel like the stations self select into really specific areas of buttrock. I spent most of my time on OCTANE, which is almost exclusively pure butt rock, but would occasionally flip over to LIQUID METAL if I had a few minutes to kill if they were playing a Breaking Benjamin ballad on the other channel. Liquid Metal is a slightly heavier grade of buttrock - where you'll still get a Shinedown or Seether mixed in but only the heavier older ones or the newer ones that their PR would tease as "getting back to their roots".
A+ experience all around. Really didn't want to have to return the car.

What was the butt-rockiest thing you heard during that stretch? I've heard Bush on the radio this weekend and didn't turn it off

Yeah Bush were more post grunge alt rock than true butt rock. They've just kinda gotten lumped into that scene over the last 10 years or whatever because the butt rockers have embraced them along with all those other mid to late 90s alt bands.

What was the butt-rockiest thing you heard during that stretch? I've heard Bush on the radio this weekend and didn't turn it off I'm glad you asked. I actually found the stuff that rocked my butt the most was the modern hard rock content that I wouldn't listen to under any other non car scenario. Liquid Metal was objectively the best Sirius channel I was listening to because there was staple bro metal stuff like System of a Down and Iowa era Slipknot.... BUT... I couldn't listen to it as loud as I wanted with kids in the car. Ozzy's Boneyard is also another great channel but it felt a little but too on the nose because it was loaded with stuff I do actually still listen to from time to time like Judas Priest and Queensryche and Wasp. It felt more like putting my iTunes on shuffle then it did a radio station. But Octane had the best mix of bad music with good riffs, kind of like when you're hungry and stop at a gas station at a highway and all they have is one of those Jacks Link beef jerkys. It tastes pretty gross but oddly satisfying and you kind of want more. There was a lot of stuff that rocked my butt pretty hard like Black Stone Cherry (think Drive by Truckers meets Seether) and Tremonti (which has possibly the worst lyrics ever created but just tons of really great brainless open chord riffs). |
