I wasn't the biggest Distillers fan, but I always did like them. I'm listening to them again, and its been like what? Five years since they broke up? Never listened to them ever since the break-up. Remember when Brody Dalle looked like a punk as fuck Marilyn Manson? Let me refresh your memory:
Yeah. She even got the sneer right. Punk rock Manson! With real tits! Way to go!
Anyway, a little history lesson for those who forgot or where too young to enjoy punk drama (oh those punks and their drama!). Brody is the ex-wife of Tim Armstrong. Yeah Tim Armstrong from Rancid brah. Ok, now, The Distillers, especially Brody, were always plagued by the rumors that Tim and the rest of Rancid ghostwrote Distillers' songs. This led to a messy break-up, the band and their marriage. (edit: I left out the fact that they hooked up when Brody was still 16 and still living in Australia, although she lied about her age. Can you imagine Tim smashing Brody's underage burger? Dude.)
Listening again to The Distillers, I figured out why I always liked them. Its because these are the Rancid albums that they never released because they were too pussy to do it. Yeah dude. That's not a knock against the Distillers, mind. But it seems that its either Brody gets easily cajoled by the people he hangs out with or she's a succubus. Whichever it is, whatever. I could care less. Because The Distillers had more balls than Rancid anyway. There, I said it. Fuck Rancid. Rancid sucks. Tim Armstrong is a douchebag.
But then, Brody gets married to another frontman. The one Josh Homme. J.Ho motherfucker. The huge guy that could totally beat your ass with the arms he tore off your shoulder sockets frontman of Queens of the Stoneage. And then makes a band called Spinnerette.
Now, she looks like this:
Can you say Courtney Love?
Although she looks more like this lately:
Dude! Brody Dalle turned fucking hot over the summer! Btw, that's Tony Bevilacqua, another former member of Distillers.
What's with this obsession with how she looks you ask? Well, you see, when she started hanging out with cooler people like QOTSA, Jesse "Boots Electric" Hughes and Eagles of Death Metal, Jubilee and the Buddyhead crew, she in turn dropped her so-called punk image and became, well, a hotter milf version of herself. Oh and also, did I tell you that Spinnerette sounds like a girl fronted QOTSA?
Yeah. That's right. Once again, even in a different band, even trying to drop her old image, she still gets plagued by the same problems she had in the past. Although again, this is not a knock against Spinnerette, I quite like a girl fronted QOTSA. Here's a video. And here's a video of Brody actually playing with the Queens at the Natasha Shneider Memorial Concert.
What's the point of all of this? Why did I waste everyone's time with writing this article trying to dissect two bands with the same frontwoman? And her numerous baggage? To tell you the truth, I don't know. Because quite frankly I like both her bands and could care less if she's a blood sucking succubus poser. And I guess, that's what matters. All this other superficial bullshit is not important. It comes down to liking the music or not. That, and Rancid sucks donkey balls.
