Line 104: They showed a particular disdain for many generic 1980's "[[glam metal|hair bands]]" (with the exception of [[Guns N' Roses]], [[Mötley Crüe]], [[Van Halen]] and a few select others). Their epitome of "wuss bands" was [[Winger (band)|Winger]], of which Stewart was a big fan. They had no tolerance for [[New Wave music|new wave]] or [[electronic music]] (except for [[industrial music]], and [[Devo]]'s "[[Whip It]]"). [[Korn]]'s song [[Blind (Korn song)|Blind]], an example of [[Nu metal]], was criticized for lacking originality (although they did claim they sounded "kinda cool"). The duo were also very critical of death metal, particularly the vocal style of the genre, mocking it, and claiming that [[Napalm Death]] vocalist [[Mark Greenway|Mark "Barney" Greenway]]'s voice "sounds like it would come out of [[Godzilla]]'s butt". Bands who received considerably large amounts of criticism during the tenure of the show included [[Poison (band)|Poison]] Beavis and Butt-head had especially severe reactions when confronted with videos they found particularly awful. As soon as Butt-head realized he was watching a [[Michael Bolton]] video, he announced that he had [[Fecal incontinence|soiled]] his pants, although he later stated he was joking. The duo then commented on how he can "make any kind of music suck". Beavis took this further by stating if Bolton did gangster rap, he would do a terrible job [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySZ4FGK4iFw]. The famous pianist [[Yanni]] also earned a very harsh critique from the boys. Sometimes, while giving a harsh review for a video, the duo gives a review to another band or musician despite the video not belonging to them in the first place; this was the fate for [[Ace of Base]] while the boys were watching "Here We Go" by [[Johan Renck|Stakka Bo]]. When confronted with [[Milli Vanilli]]'s "[[Baby Don't Forget My Number]]" and [[Vanilla Ice]]'s "[[Ice Ice Baby]]", the pair looked at one another in horror and changed the channel without speaking a word; this was effectively amongst the harshest commentary they ever gave a music video. [[The Europeans (band)|The Europeans]]'s video for "The Animal Song" was the most critically trashed by the duo, as Butt-head claimed, "This sucks more than anything I have ever seen." Another video that could make this claim was [[King Diamond]]'s "The Family Ghost," of which Butt-head claimed, "This could be the worst crap I've ever seen in my life." Another controversial video critique was of [[Winger (band)|Winger]] Where Butt-Head states "Wow, this is some horrible stupid crap". Lead singer [[Kip Winger]] later sued Mike Judge for [[defamation of character]], the problem was resolved when Judge promised never to insult Winger again. He managed to slip through the cracks by having a Winger shirt worn by Stewart, to show that only dorky kids like him. Another video they gave bad criticism to was [[Poison (band)|Poison]]'s video "I Want Action," which Butt-Head said, "This is so horrible. I can't even begin to talk about how much this sucks!" | |||
