Danko Jones - "I Think Bad Thoughts"

[lockebox]

Second US single from the album, "Below the Belt". The band are currently shooting a video for this one.

[pen]

This band is so underrated. They are exactly what a fun loose easy going band should be.

[lockebox]

^ Agreed. Their videos are always epic, too. I was disappointed "Full of Regret" didn't do better.

[Devin]

Odd, since there was already a video for "Had Enough" and "Active Volcanoes" is the current single here in Canada. I bid it good luck regardless.

Did any other songs besides "Full of Regret", "First Date", and "Lovercall" that charted?

Well, this is the new one, I guess. No, none others charted in the top 50.

Here they are on set.

[Shadows in the Dark]

Top 50 on Active:

53 48 DANKO JONES I Think Bad Thoughts 89 68 21 0.168

[Devin]

Awesome! Maybe a second Top 40 hit? :)

[HereIsGone]

Just listened to this. Fun song. Hope it does well. XD

I didn't like "Full of Regret" at all. Maybe I'll like this better, but I don't think I'm gonna go out of my way to hear the song at this point.

Top 40 - Active

43 39 DANKO JONES - I Think Bad Thoughts 218 180 38 0.445

[Devin]

Top 40 - Active (again)

42 40 DANKO JONES I Think Bad Thoughts 215 207 8 0.485

It's an official Top 40 hit also. This seems to be having the longevity "Full Of Regret" had.

This song is SOO bad, it's good. I think it might be the worst song to hit the active rock chart in the last three years. "Hate My Life", "All Night Long", "Porn Star Dancing", and "Hear Me Now" give it a run for its money, but this song is worse than those...so much so, that I love listening to it to hear just how awful it is. And somehow, I feel like Danko Jones would view that almost as a compliment.

[pen]

I'm not sure if I should be horribly offended by that or not. I like Danko Jones bunches.

Wow really? I would never put this in the same category as cock-rock garbage like "Porn Star Dancing" & "Sex is Good." This has a really catchy modern day AC/DC vibe going on, for me.

[jvandyck87]

It'd probably be worth mentioning that I think AC/DC is the most overrated band of all time, and they are my least favorite rock act that has undeniable legendary status in the music industry. They did what they did, and they historically deserve respect, but I really dislike them. Hence why bands like Danko Jones as well as cock rock acts that are both descendants of AC/DC's musical lineage are also not my cup of tea....at all.

[pen]

I'm saddened by that because Danko Jones is a really fun and enjoyable band, much better than any standard cock rock fuckery.

[lockebox]

I don't think you can blame AC/DC for cock-rock. My Darkest Days, Nickelback & Theory of a Deadman have no influence from them whatsoever. Although, you could just blame Buckcherry for the whole thing and they've certainly molded themselves in to a diminutive version of AC/DC.

[jvandyck87]

To say that My Darkest Days, Nickelback & Theory Of A Deadman have no influence from AC/DC is probably a false statement. TOAD sounds especially AC/DC influenced with some of their riffage and chord shapes.

That's sorta what I'm getting at. Maybe it's a bit different, but I think the song sucks so much that I enjoy listening to it recreationally.

[lockebox]

I think that's probably a more indirect influence. I think they're more likely to be influenced by Soundgarden, whose members of course adored AC/DC. Infact, My Darkest Days & ToaD were probably influenced by Nickelback...

But I don't think it sucks. :'(

I had to read this sentence several times before I figured out it was Proboards filter censorship at work. Can't believe nobody else pointed out how ludicrous it reads.

I noticed but there's nothing that can be done about it so I decided not to point it out. But since you bring it up, I think it's really dumb that the filter can't be altered to only apply to the word itself. Or that there's a need for a filter in the first place.
