Theory of a Deadman sounds like a pretty badass name for a band. Too bad they don't have a single song to back up a cool-sounding name.

"Invisible Man", which also featured on the Spider-Man soundtrack, is my favorite song from them by a landslide. It's short and hits all the right chords (at least for me). I also like "Drown". Other than that, they got a lot of trash to sift through (to which I would not recommend whatsoever).

You know, I love how Theory of a Deadman have a song that goes “I am so freaking bored, nothing to do today”. Either they wrote Medicate from the perspective of the people listening to their music, or even they are so bored with their own music now. Must be the latter, since they even dropped most of their name.

It seems like they were being self-aware, but even that would be giving them too much credit.

[@archivedaccount5990]

I remember being 11 when I first heard the band, with the song "Bad Girlfriend" playing on the radio. Granted, it was the edited version so I didn't understand why it was so dirty... Then I heard the explicit version, and I kinda got a cheap laugh out of it. While it is a trashy song, I still think it has a catchy rhythm to it. When I heard the rest of their work, I couldn't remember a single thing out of them. No matter how much I tried. Seriously, even Nickelback has a more memorable discography than Theory of a Deadman.

Those first two lines of lyrics at 15:30. That's almost Ian Watkins levels of f'd up, so much more disgusting than Good Charlotte's song about suicide. I can't believe the band and the label thought leaving in that line was okay. To say it should've been left on the cutting room floor is an understatement. I think it's horrifying that Tyler Connolly even thought of writing those lyrics at all.

[@lorddoritus6373]

Finally talked about a Theory of a Deadman album after all this time, huh? Well, I don't blame you. Considering how abysmal they are. I've heard this album a long time ago, and well... It's not good. So Happy: It's mixed terribly and the lyrics repeat so much that it's reminiscent of a Puddle of Mudd track. Even the tempo reminds me of "Control" and "She Hates Me." Not even Brett from Shinedown could save this. By The Way: Nice try, but not even Daughtry can save this song. The song is so dull that I nearly fell asleep listening to it. Got It Made: Sounds way too similar to Nickelback's "Next Go Round" except done even worse. It's disjointed garbage. Not Meant to Be: Too saccharine, sappy and snooze-inducing. It's complete and utter shit. Crutch: Even with a faster tempo, it's still shit because it's whiny and shoddily-mixed. All or Nothing: Absolutely pathetic. It sounds like Simple Plan's "Everytime" but with a gravelly-sounding voice. Heaven (Little by Little): It's better but not by much. Bad Girlfriend: Okay, I'll admit I liked this song when I first heard it. Now, I just feel like taking a shower after hearing it. It's dirty as hell... Hate My Life: This is fucking horrible. This isn't just whiny. This is just sad. Like, seriously... Little Smirk: Has a bit of energy to it, but it's still the same song and dance (pun intended) with the same shitty songwriting. End of the Summer: Boring. Next... Wait For Me: Another goddamn yawn-inducing snooze-fest. Sacrifice: More of the same. I can't even describe how dull this song is. On a scale from 1-10, I'd give it a 0.5. Literally _nothing_ about this band is memorable in the slightest. Say what you will about Limp Bizkit, at least they had talent musicians like Wes Borland and John Otto. Say what you will about Nickelback, at least they had a couple decent albums when they started. Saw what you will about Puddle of Mudd, at least they had two decent songs (Control, Blurry). Say what you will about Hinder, at least they weren't as gross as Theory was. Say what you will about Simple Plan, Crazy Town, Buckcherry, Creed and Kid Rock, at least they're laughably bad. Say what you will about Fall Out Boy, Guns & Roses, Metallica, Slayer, and Linkin Park, at least they had some good albums to back up their missteps. This has nothing redeemable. Not even in a "so-bad-it's-good" kind of sense. I make no hyperbole that Theory of a Deadman is the worst mainstream rock band to ever get popular.

It's an alternative to screaming to a pillow. When shouting profanity isn't enough, sometimes muffled screaming is great stress relief.

Seeing Luke suffer makes a part of me wanna give him a big hug and tell him that I, along with many many others, appreciate his hard work and dedication to music and to his channel. But then there's the bigger part of me who just likes to see him suffer (cue the evil laughter) ^^

Ever since I found this channel (thanks to Luke’s best friend, The Dom) I’ve discovered that my taste in music is awful....I didn’t need to know that 😭😂

I find with music critic types, it boils down to this: ToaD isn't high art, but I'm not a music critic. It sounds good to the ears, so I'm good with it.

[@SGRev1]

There are parts of Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns that I love myself (my overall opinion on that album is still mixed, though). His RTP for that is also one of my favorite episodes of the show.

I feel like that sometimes.

[@legitzwiz15]

@@TheDapperDragon I never really thought about it that way. But it makes sense. I still go back and listen to some stuff from Extreme Behavior and Scars & Souvenirs... And I don't feel bad about it. They're not masterpieces, but everyone indulges in commercial music from time to time.

It's a matter of subjection. I admit that I like a few songs from Nickelback and Theory of a Deadman even though a lot of their work can me questionable at best.

Good choice

"Bad Girlfriend" only makes me want to hear "Fire Woman" by The Cult. The same riff was done MUCH better by The Cult. Also be thankful that "No Surprise" wasn't on this album too. That song as an abomination!

[@notserp1836]

“Not Meant To Be” was included on the soundtrack to Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. Thankfully, it didn’t appear in the actual movie.

[@darriana7249]

If I was in charge of the soundtrack and given a chance to go with a sad song, it would be "Heaven's Hung in Black" by WASP. Such a great song

[@WitchTrials92]

Actually I think Theory of a Deadman is actually signed to Chad Kroeger's record label 604 Edit they are run away game over

[@WitchTrials92]

I just read your comment and the Sierra C3 was only produced for 2001

[@jkingisbeast]

At least Nickelback has Burn it to the Ground. Theory wish they had something that good.

[@jkingisbeast]

@@dw89music73 I would agree with that but Burn it to the Ground came out the same year as Theory's album so it did show how a band in that genre could be good. Also for being a generic getting wasted song it fits Chad Kroeger's voice really well and I find the song really fun.

[@martinhroch344]

@@jkingisbeast I agree. But Feed The Machine and Coin for the Ferryman are better.

[@megumintheexplosionqueen297]

Nickelback, for all the mockery they get towards stuff like "Photograph" and "Rockstar," at least have some more energetic tracks like "Flat on the Floor," "Because of You," "This Means War," "Feed the Machine" and "For The River."

ToaDM was one of the first rock bands I heard as a kid. I can't dislike or regret them because they bring me so much nostalgia and were one of the reasons I'm now into rock and metal but I can see why people wouldn't like em'.

[@heymistercarter.]

So Theory of a Deadman copied of Nickelback, a band that copied the formula for other hit songs. So in other words, to bring a better song into this: They are just a Copy Of A Copy Of A Copy... Everything they say has gone before...

[@elrodrigo6188]

16:54 does raise a very good point. Women gossip a lot about people, more so than men, which is why a lot of SJWs who complain ceaselessly on social media are women. Men are simply not allowed to 'complain' about them lest they be interpreted as sexists, but women have free reign to trash talk men all they want without consequence, or even receiving encouragement for doing so. It's not a matter of hating women, at all. It's a case of obvious misandry and a man being portrayed as sexist for questioning it, and I'm sorry to say Rocked, it was very telling that you didn't have a response for this.

[@JamesOhGoodie]

I love that they just go by "Theory" now. As if they said "We're PRETTY generic, but how could we be MORE generic?"

The only memory I have of Theory of a Deadman nowadays was that one of my grade school teachers left her job for a full week and a half because she wanted to travel to a festival they were playing at 2 states over.

[@Themoushtaceleague96]

Butt fest 2019. Headliners include Kid Rock, Five Finger Death Punch, Nickelback, and Limp Bizkit. Other bands include Theory of a Deadman, Puddle of Mud, Crazy Town, Creed, Buckcherry, Hinder, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, 3 Doors Down, and Staind, among other bands. It could be set in the Midwest (cause people in the Midwest are hardcore fans of these bands. Trust me, I know, I have to hear people sing Buckchery (you know the song)/Good Charlotte/3 Doors Down/Creed/Theory EVERY TUESDAY working as a karaoke DJ., the only downside to the job, otherwise i love it. Well, not all of those butt rock heroes every Tuesday.) and for four days. Big hit. Million dollar idea.

[@dragonpullman23]

At first I wasn't sure if I recognized any of these songs, but as soon as "Not Meant To Be" played, painful memories of working at Wegmans came rushing back. This song sucks for the same reason most Daughtry songs that played there suck, or just most of the rock songs that played there in general, because they were buttrock. This song is kind of like "Bad Day", completely awful, but lyrically harmless, so it is therefore perfect for getting played constantly at retail establishments and driving employees in those environments INSANE! It is, as you would say, one big pile of DURST!
