r/opieandanthony: Better Songwriters than Joe Cumia 1/1,000,000

1 bonniesretardsister 2018-12-27

"Joe Cumia - Tribute band musician who demands saliva from the children of U2 fans too poor to see the real band live so they settle for 2U"

1 gunstore 2018-12-27

Joe doesn’t write songs. He plays other people’s songs. Joes entire life is built on riding coat tails. True N-person.

1 DentureChomp1488 2018-12-27

He wrote "Oh Dara"

1 gunstore 2018-12-27

So if you write one song 30 years ago, you’re a songwriter?

If you suck one cock you're a cocksucker, aren't you?

1 gunstore 2018-12-27

Not according to what I tell myself

1 suirogerg 2018-12-27

Sososososososo

1 AnthonysGunFauxPas 2018-12-27

Better personality and generally more of a likeable guy

1 no_one_inparticular 2018-12-27

To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if Joe shit himself on stage once or twice.

1 JamesJCrowe 2018-12-27

GG also had a bigger cock than Joe.

1 J-Bradley1 2018-12-27

Wasn't really a Cock, as much as it was a third nipple

1 JimNortonsSobriety 2018-12-27

I had taht song about hating motherfuckers or something. Pretty good. Definitely better than anything Joe Cumia put out.

1 Gekokujo 2018-12-27

It's actually a well put together song with raw emotion...I would love to have it played at my funeral. https://youtu.be/-GnUhQ2TBnc

Joe Cumia Fake Rock and/or Roll musician who gets beat up on internet by not his fans.

1 DirtyCrappedBriefs 2018-12-27

Better role model

1 liberterrorism 2018-12-27

Wrote a song called “No Room for Nigger”, still less racist than Joe Cumia.

1 J-Bradley1 2018-12-27

"Bite it, You Scum" is, arguably better than anything Joe's ever "written"

1 GreekIsExtra 2018-12-27

Bite It You Scum and Die When You Die are genuinely good punk songs. The rest of his catalog? Not so much.

1 DentureChomp1488 2018-12-27

"I wanna fuck your brains out" is pretty catchy.

1 mikejmarvin 2018-12-27

The antiseen collaboration was good.

1 Gekokujo 2018-12-27

Die When You Die is a cover that GG just added some flavor to. The original has a chick lead singer and isnt bad either. https://youtu.be/VNws7a6ffC0

Those are his best punk songs, but he does have some hidden gems also. That said, he has some great Charles Manson-ish acoustic stuff he recorded in jail. All of that stuff is outstanding...my favorite of which is "Sitting In This Room". https://youtu.be/lspuv2rdVAI

1 nikolam 2018-12-27

His cover of Carmelita is excellent.

1 Gekokujo 2018-12-27

In the video for Carmalita, you can see how GG has an empty bottle of Jim Beam in the corner and a loaded syringe in between the strings and the headboard of the guitar (like rockers used to do with cigarettes in the 70s/80s).

1 goarlorde 2018-12-27

His very first album (with the Jabbers) is solid throughout. Dont talk to me is literally the best song to come out of the entire boston punk scene

1 246h8 2018-12-27

Fully back this. His first album is a solid punk rock album from 1980. One Man Army, Don't Talk To Me, Automatic are all really great songs.

Enjoy the whole album, fuckers.

1 draganaughtz 2018-12-27

He has a lot of good stuff from the early Jabbers days and also the last album that he dud was quite good actually. It’s all the shit eating and growly voice that ruins it for many.

1 nikolam 2018-12-27

I Kill Everything I Fuck (The AIDS Song) is genuinely a great song.

1 THE_FAGG0T 2018-12-27

What about "Hanging Out With Jim"? That's one of my favorites. He had a lot of pretty good stuff, imo. Rough and an acquired taste though no doubt.

1 disgrace_command 2018-12-27

Freaks, Faggots, Drunks and Junkies is his best album. He plays most of the instruments, just like a Joe solo gig!

1 emerge_from_the_mist 2018-12-27

Is there any opening line greater than “The faggots with AIDS are all gonna die”?

1 423289 2018-12-27

GG would have gotten his kids to school on time.

1 TranthonyRapesKids 2018-12-27

Joe Cumia would suck 100 dicks at the Big Apple Ranch just to get 1% of the notoriety of GG
