Screeching Weasel started in 1986, a few weeks after I saw
the Ramones play. Mr. Jughead and I got together with a
couple of future ex-band members and put together the
derivative, cliched songs I’d been working on for a year.
We played to crowds of three and five people inside dingy
bars owned by men of questionable reputation. Our
girlfriends were duly impressed and our performances were
highly regarded by the soundmen of the greater Chicagoland
area who always had a perfect line of vision to the stage,
no matter what their location.
A demo tape was recorded in December of ‘86 and a month
later, a local sucker approached us to do an album for his
bedroom-based record label. Our self-titled album was
released in the spring of 1987. 1,000 copies sold fairly More...
Review about Screeching Weasel You Fail. | Reviewer: Vanny Dapid
------ About the song I Hate Led Zeppelin performed by Screeching Weasel
You fail to see the imagination of 'I hate led zepplin'...
that's fine, you don't like sw, but its pretty righteous to write that song as someone who grew up around the time when all the lame f*cking jocks were pumping their fists to "whole lotta love". Ben was an outcast, and he wrote music for HIS people of the time. People who thought led Zepplin was a joke—he listened to the Ramones, Richard Hell or whatever. $12 concerts might sound cheap now, cause you're probably paying 85.00 for nose bleeds at the Jonas Brothers (they, like, totally respect rock and roll history), but Ben was playing free basement shows and creating something totally new, or carrying on a vibe in a place that it was new. Led Zepplin was just the soundtrack to the herbs of high school. I think this song, and boogada in its entirety is easily one of the best 50 punk records of all time.
Respect your roots my man, b/c I'm sure all these pro-zep comments are from one douche.

------ About artist/band Screeching Weasel
Led zeppelin's the best! All my friends tell me soooo! All the magazines I buy say soooo! Jimmie Page is the best guitar player ever--all my friends say soooooo!
Good God...Ben Weasel hates Led Zeppelin. Big deal. I hate the Grateful Dead. Who cares? People have diff taste. One of my friends loves "the jam" I think 15 minute songs are boring. So what?
I think all you fuckers whining about Zeppelin's damaged honor or whatever need to get laid, start a band or committ suicide. Or whatever. Anything's better than arguing over two bands that split up. That reminds me...WTF am I doing here?
Screeching weasel is a great band, if you don't like them, don't listen to them, or hell! don't make shitty remarks.
Fuck your led zepplin and shit, i'd rather have the ramones and the clash.

don't you guys see? screeching weasel doesn't understand the concept of a show costing money because they aren't good enough musicians to deserve pay for a gig... led zep made a lot of cash, did a lot of drugs, and STILL created a lot of good music, live and in the studio, i don't see the need for there to be a song about hating them for being successful.

------ About the song I Hate Led Zeppelin performed by Screeching Weasel
Making fun of "the founders of rock" is one of the things that make Screeching Weasel a great punk band. Anybody who thinks otherwise is an idiot.
Awful | Reviewer: Mr.T
------ About the song I Hate Led Zeppelin performed by Screeching Weasel
making a song about jealousy of agruably the best band of all time, just proves how childish and immature awful musicians can be when they should be respecting the founders of rock
