Donnie Vie happy to set facts strait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDeadBastard]

Fall Out Boy gets brought up because it's the first power pop band I could think of that you enjoy. And then I compared them to Enuff Z'nuff, another power pop band.
Maybe you'd like Paraphernalia, if the lyrics aren't good enough for you.

Not to threadjack, but Fall Out Boy a power pop band? Are you shitting me?

(Do have to agree, however, that Baby Loves You is one of EzN's best songs)

[Caustic Queen]

I'll still think Donnie Vie is a pathetic piece of shit though

Yep..

[ElectricEye90]

IMO shit like "Fly High Michelle" suck because they sound dated as fuck, just the overall sound and production is that overdone 80's stuff.
Fall Out Boy might be similar (?), but they sound so much better.

[RattDickSuckNut]

Even Fall Out Boy likes Enuff Z'Nuff and recognizes there genius.

Enuff Z’nuff’s been mentioned twice, and I have a neon peace sign.

FOB singer mentions them in this interview.

RattDickSuckNut said what I was about to... I think Fall Out Boy got mentioned because they gave EZN a shout on Rolling Stone, and are from the same area (Chicago).

Fall Out Boy isn't my exactly my thing, but I can see similarities and would put them under the same power-pop banner. Fall Out Boy have songs I like.

Donnie's always been one of my fave vocalists. He has a Lennon/Costello vibe, the way he sings sounds as emotional and honest as anyone I've heard. It took Sludge mentioning that his pitch can be whiney for me to even notice, and now that it's been brought to my attention, I suppose it sometimes IS, and maybe that's why Enuff Z'nuff can be an aquired taste after all?

But I think Donnie's songs and lyrics are among the best. Certainly as good or better than most lame bands mentioned on these boards, songwriting-wise. An opinion of mine, not a fact... Someone quoted "Baby Loves You" lyrics, and I don't see the problem there. It's a simple, direct song... if you're gonna criticize that, compare it to "She Loves You," by Lennon/McCartney, just as thematically simple but similarly potent, as far as I can tell.

No, fuckheads, I'm not saying Enuff Z'Nuff and The Beatles belong in the same sentence. But similar to Cheap Trick, Enuff Z'Nuff used The Beatles as their template and created some great gems on their own. Unfortunately for their first record, they dressed as if a gay pride parade puked on a rainbow and never lived it down. Then apparently Enuff Z'nuff smoked a bunch of crack instead of taking advantage of opportunities, and that did not help matters either. But they have a catalog of great material for those who dig 'em, not a dud in their whole discog.

[miserable]

What in the name of fuck? Take it easy fellows, im only saying that Donnie is great songwriter and he has written few world class porprock songs. If you cannot stand his character, that´s fine, but use your ears and let the music do the talking. And quit that shit with Superstitious and all that early "attidude"-stuff, focus on records like Seven, Paraphernalia and Ten. There`s the music. Of course there is few pearls in Strength and Tweaked also, but that poprock stuff im talking about comes in later. And fuck with this LetUsPray dude??? You really can`t find any sarcasm from that Michael Hott message i wrote? Use your head and respect the wisdom im bringing to the table=) And yes, songs like It`s too late, Goodbye, All Alone, Someday, How are you? and There goes my heart are right there with The Beatles and ELO`s stuff.

[UtahRatt]

Take your pom poms and get off the fucking stage.

[UtahRatt]

Nothing worse then a blind supporting fan. If they was dogs we'd take um out back and shoot the worthless mutts.

[killeverything]

I just saw the video for 'Fly High Michelle' on Metal Mania.

Horrible. Just fucking horrible.

I've heard EZN before, I've laughed at their photos, etc. I knew they sucked, but Goddamn I had no idea how fucking horrible that was.

[Hank_Hill]

Worst. Band. Ever.

[ParasiteLost]

Worst. Band. Ever.

Second worst. You forgot about FiFi...

[miserable]

Im right, You`re wrong. And i can´t say that im a fan on Enuff Znuff, i just admit that his music is damn fine stuff. No matter how addict he is or something else irrelevant like that.

[Calexxia]

[qbertnernie74]

I've heard that Stevie is working with Donnie Vie to form the world's worst band called:

TUFF's ENUFF Z'NUFF

I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

You're either a troll or a complete fucking retard.

Thank you for the music Donnie! I´ve spread the word about Enuff Znuff and your solo stuff here in Finland for about a decade now and all my friends in music hails your name now. You´ve done some amazing music and you`re still more than able to continue! Wish you all the best! Sobriety rules!

I just wanted to say that I or any other Finnish people do not share his views. We also do not want to consider him as one of us anymore. We'll probably ship him out to Sweden, where they like gay shit.

That guy makes me feel bad about liking Enuff Z'nuff.




Him and Donnie.

[LetUsPrey]

He makes me feel better about the fact that I don't like them. I feel like a lot of people on here DO like them and find them very underrated, and I always felt as though I was the minority. This thread showed me different, and i'm right back to being proud of the fact that I could never bring myself to liking them.

[_underscore_]

I guess I'll be the guy that tries to defend Enuff Z'nuff now, that other dude needs to sit the next few out.

So I know that Donnie's a fuckup, Monaco looks like a wiener, Chip is an attention whore, Derek was a drug addict, and Vik Foxx had a vagina, but Christ just about every Znuff album is awesome (except 1985).

I hate to use a ballad as an example of how great a band is, but this song is great.

I like Catholic Girls (even though it's really, really creepy), Aroused, Tears of a Clown, Hollywood Squares, and Marie. I don't really listen to the rest of the album. It's not even NEAR the quality of the rest of the albums, with Peach Fuzz being my current favorite.

Peach Fuzz is cool.. the only Enuff album i can't get into is Welcome To Blue Island

(Try to get past the lame-ass intro.)

Yeah, but Molestabrook's a hipster. I automatically can't like that song.

[_underscore_]

Welcome To Blue Island was my favorite for a while, I had Paraphernalia for a while and it's a great album, but it's really depressing. ("I've been feeling so low, notice lately I ain't never been lying. I ain't got no gun, I just walk around the living room crying.") So Blue Island, ironically, is a much happier album, with one of their best ballads, and another now-disgusting ode to younger girls in "Sanibel Island".

Genius

[MotleyPoo]

I'll admit these two videos evidence talent far superior to bands like Poison

Everyone on Earth is more talented than Poison. My 7 year old nephew can already play better than those hacks.

[MotleyPoo]

E'Nuff Z'Nuff: More talented than Poison.



Yeah, that's about all they got.

[WTF]

I love Enuff Z'Nuff despite themselves. Fuck it. I said it.

[Caustic Queen]

E'Nuff Z'Nuff: More talented than Poison.



Yeah, that's about all they got.

It's kinda like chanting "We're not the worst"...
