Get the straight edger mug.Former guitarist and creative axis of 15-minutes pseudo-goth act Evanescence (remember them?), who left almost as soon as they started selling records by the shedload for the usual "creative reasons" and because he felt unhappy at selling shedloads of records. So he now writes for both Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson - so must feel creativly fulfilled and a lot happier.
"So let me get this straight - Ben Moody spent eight years trying to make something of Evanescence, got bored when they made something of themselves, and decided to write for such legit rock luminaries as Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson?!?"

Get the Ben Moody mug.Where all the heart, soul and any level of intellectualism is gutted from the genre for poseur bands with their fake emotion, all neatly packaged in a three minute MTV video that does absolutly nothing except patronise fans of genuine metal. Usually comes added with a crossover at some point with an overrated rapper that appears on everyone's albums - apart from other rappers, who despise them for being commercialised crap with no worth whatsoever.
Linkin Park - with or whithout Jay-Z.

Get the pop metal mug.An attempt to make Croydon sound vaguely cool by using a bastardisation of the postcode for central Croydon (CR0), which just sounds exceptionally contrived and, frankly, stupid. Especially as the pub with the same name has been closed since mid 2003, having run out of potential new owners.
It does confuse people making online bookings, though, since they hab itually use an "O" rather than a "0" when filling out the form, and it won't go through.
Usually put about by the writers for local fanzine Wired, which is as depressinmg and unjournalistic as you can imagine.

"Well, if Compton is CPT, I guess we'll be CRO."
"Dosn't that sound contrived and wanky?"
"No - it sounds cool and well 'ard..."

Get the CRO mug.The man who, since becoming executive producer on The Simpsons, has overseen it go from one of the funniest and well-written shows on TV crammed with sharp observations on the minutiae of modern life, to an endless procession of puerile humour, needless celebrity cameos, and the feeling they haven’t done any work on the script after the initial draft before chucking it on TV.
Al Jean will be forever remembered as the person responsible for The Simpsons being an embarassing shadow of its former self.

Get the Al Jean mug.More proof, if needed, that Ross Robinson was born to manage boy bands, as opposed to something remotely alternative.
Just because they're nine blokes in masks and boiler suits doesn't mean they're better than four guys without, especially if you actually listen to their frankly dreadful lyrics (examples: "Fuck it all, fuck this world, fuck everything that you stand for" and "People = Shit" repeated six or seven times).
In other words, rather than use real emotion behind their music, they just hide behind a facade of fake anger where shouting "fuck" a lot apparently means something, especially in the exact same seethe/shout/roar song structure they use time and again. No wonder the main part of their fanbase is 14 years old...

(When trying to enter an over 18's rock club) "Is that a Slipknot t-shirt you're wearing? Right, show me your ID." The kid gets sent home soon after.

Get the slipknot mug.A microcosm of American empire building in Baja California - the part of Mexico they forgot to steal way back when.
Apart from the main drag that lasts about 200 yards, filled with bars, strip clubs and pharmacies (children selling chewing gum on the streets optional), there is literally nothing there. Walk one block either side, and it's like stepping into the Third World, before returning to $1 bottles of Dos Equis in chintzy bars set up for American tourists, students, and people that can't afford a trip to Mexico City or Cancun.
Still, it's the shortest border check on the planet - they don't bother checking, as they know you aren't smuggling anything into the country. It's returning to the US that has the usual body cavity searches...
