Joeseph Linello: Brilliant or Bizarre?

Posted on April 30, 2008

It may help to read our first encounter with Joe Linello before continuing...

We were recently introduced to Joe Linello when our buddy Damien from The Giraffes described the songwriter's music as "an army of retarded hyena's [sic] being gang raped with barbed wire, on ludes." Curious to hear what that may sound like, we ventured over to the Long Island singer's myspace page to hear what was worthy of such a comparison. What we heard/saw was semi-shocking. Aside from photoshopped pictures of the singer posing with Scott Stapp (Creed), the page featured five songs that were...inspiring? Here are some choice lyrics:

joelinellostap.jpgI want you so bad, I want you so bad
when you go away it makes me sad

I touched your boobies girl
we would French kiss at the movies.

No one understands me, my heart hurts real bad.
No one understands me, and that makes me sad.

Then some loser caught your eye...he didn't prey to jesus...he didnt have any major label interest

Sitting on the beach, I watch the waves, thinking of people who cause me pain...like DAMIEN!!!

With lyrics like that, it's no surprise he has major label interest. Check out the video for "No One Understands Me" under the cut.
