Whatever happened to Orgy?

You know, that cyber-electro-industrial-goth-glam-pop-metal thing that was supposed to reduce all of rawk to binary code and transmit it into the next dimension? With 80s covers?

Their guitarist who used to be in the hair-metal/misspelling band Rough Cutt is called 'Amir Derakh', as in "I'm here to rock"!

What a shame, I thought maybe he was indian or something.

― Kris, Monday, 3 December 2001 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

He looked like Stephen Dorff.

I thought they were called Nylon Pylon now?

I saw the hairdressing salon where one of them used to work when I was in Orange County. Perhaps he's returned to follicle fold?

Maybe they imploded into their own suckiness.

Who cares? Good riddance.

actually, they put out a new album this year (or was it last) that i have on tape, and i kinda like it. its way less annoying than the blue monday cover. i would actually recommmend a search for it

Yes, Amir Derakh, who's probably pushing 40 now, managed to reinvent himself into a space-rock numetal dude... long gone are the LA hair metal days. The sub-mediocre shit band Beautiful Creatures have done the same, dying their hair black and piercing their lips, but they too are veterans of the LA hair days in bands like Bang Tango et al. Of course, they don't like talking about that too much.. And what of Powerman 5000?

― Andy, Monday, 3 December 2001 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Haha. Amir goes to "glam night" at the Viper Room on mondays and hits on underage girls. And the other nerds Andy mentioned, "The Beautiful Creatures" lie about their age and just got dropped by their label. Tee hee. To catch them lying go to the absolutly KICK ASS website www.metal-sludge.com

metal-sludge cracks me up. Did you read Dan Spitz' insane ramblings about anthrax?

― Nude Spock, Monday, 3 December 2001 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Metal Sludge = gods. If you want the direct link to the 'trash Orgy's lame roots' section, go hence.

That first pic of Jay Gordon looks like Ralph Machio with a perm.

― bnw, Tuesday, 4 December 2001 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

God, that's classic! It's like rocker stalinism, exposing all the guys dark secrets and ending careers just for the fun of it.

― Andy, Tuesday, 4 December 2001 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Didn't they do their own lipstick/eyeliner line yet? Viva Goth?

You won't be saying that when he stops giving you the high-strength industrial crack you currently consume.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Y'know what..? They did -one- f^cking cover. Wow. One. Ooh.

Blue Monday was a tribute to the 80's for them.

Some people need to do some -research-.

Oh.. and by the way.. if I could. I'd have sex Amir. He is really hot. Screw you all. :D

Just because they looked a little odd in the 80's means nothing. I'm sure if I was older.. I would've looked like them in the 80's most definitely!

I can respect you if you don't -like- Orgy.. but when you -rant- about Orgy.. that's just pathetic. Why don't you guys talk about freakin' Limp Bizkit.. now -there- is a band to rip on. Jeezus Chryst.

Love, Ravenna

Amir *is* really hot for a 45 year old with a bunch of make up on trying to fit in with the kids.

― chaki, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

May I interject as The Gloved One in this Beat It Video of a thread?

Have any of you guys heard the rest of that eponymous Orgy record? I'm very curious, because I haven't. And you know, that "Blue Monday" cover has really grown on me. It kinda melds the worlds of poofy pop glam and the Wax Trax sound, which isn't done enough. If the rest of the album is similar in style to the "Blue Monday" cover, I'd love to hear it.

― Brian MacDonald, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

And Amir Derakh is a really great name. Sorry Kris.

― Brian MacDonald, Monday, 14 January 2002 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Remind me again why you're complaining in detail.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

I'm ranting.. 'cause I'm defending them. It only makes sense.

― Ravenna St. Clair, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Rejoice. Orgy's disappearance from popular view is the most persuasive proof yet that not only does God exist: He is kind, and dislikes bad music as much as we do.

I feel much better now.

'god' does not exist. (But that's a -totally- different subject..)

Orgy is -still- popular. They still have lots of fans. They are just not shitty mainstream like you people probably like. Ew.

Someone alert Tanya Headon. I think we found her long lost twin sister.

Yes, but you could say the same thing about bin Laden, see.

What the fuck are you faggets ripping on Orgy for? I'm with Ravenna here, don't criticize people that are just making good music. I hope Mike Tyson eats all your children, fuckers.

― Tony, Wednesday, 16 January 2002 01:00 (11 years ago) Permalink

Jeez. I'd hate to think what sort of flotsam this board would attract if we started ripping on Placebo or the Smashing Pumpkins..

It's Raggett, two 't's, please. As to why, I think your answer actually provides part of the explanation.

I'm with Ravenna here, don't criticize people that are just making good music.

Your comments have been noted by the management.

I hope Mike Tyson eats all your children, fuckers.

Hm. I give that a 3.7.

Sean I'll cut your peepee off man.

Oddly enough, this may be the best offer I've had all week. When does it expire?
