Dan Boyle's Favorite Bands: A Critical Perspective
by Megalodon on Jul 26, 2011 5:00 AM PDT
Email
PrintDan Boyle has been spending his summer in California for the first time ever, and the Sharks website decided to interview him about it. After some discussion about how nice the weather is in California, how much Boyle liked Big Sur, and how Boyle is at "maximum fitness*", they get to the good stuff: the concerts he has gone to during the summer!
I always love these little humanizing details about players. You can find out some of the Sharks' favorite movies and musicians by clicking on their names in the roster and then scrolling to the bottom of their "Bio" section, but this interview about Boyle's concerts promises much more detail. Let's enjoy:
Boyle has also been absorbing the Bay Area’s music offerings by seeing top entertainers at various local venues.
What sorts of bands does Dan Boyle like?
"I’ve seen Eddie Vedder. The Deftones," Boyle said.
Okay, those are both acceptable. The Deftones are great, and Eddie Vedder can be boring but he's good too I guess. Dan Boyle is a pretty cool guy!
I’m going to see A Perfect Circle, which is one of my favorite bands.
I like A Perfect Circle, so Dan Boyle's stock is rising with me. He actually has good musical taste, which is really refreshing coming from a hockey player. Even if you don't like the bands mentioned so far you've got to admit his choices could be MUCH worse. He could be like Logan Couture, who never shuts up about god damn Drake on his Twitter, or Patrick Marleau, who lists his favorite musicians as "Nickelback and The Tragically Hip," which is such a horrible answer that I suspect someone wrote that on the Sharks website as a joke.
All I'm saying is it seems like Dan Boyle has solid taste in music and -
We saw Godsmack at Shoreline at a festival.
Oh. Oh, nevermind.
Godsmack is a horrible, horrible band. They became semi-popular around the turn of the century riding the fecal wave of nu-metal bands and have been ruining Ozzfests and other heavy metal shows ever since. I don't know how they are possibly still around and alive - my working hypothesis is that the band members are so riddled with herpes they have now become impossible to eradicate.
It looks like Boyle went to this concert, which means that the other headliners were Megadeth (a fine band) and Disturbed (another bunch of commercial-metal whores that no one should be paying money to see in 2011). The only excuse for attending this abomination would be if he just went to see Megadeth, but no, he specifically mentioned Godsmack.
So disregard everything I said about Dan Boyle's music tastes.
* = When I read this I thought that maybe "maximum fitness" was a real term from exercise science or something, so I tried to Google it. All that I found were products and gyms with that name, so I guess it's just some weird BS that the author of this story made up. If I'm wrong maybe that one guy who reads our blog and is a physical trainer who had sex with David Beckham can let us know in the comments.

To be honest, I expected one of his favorite bands to Coldplay, but Nickelback might be a suitable substitution.
Wallin was the one who liked Coldplay (and Howard Stern).

I think Marleau just named the first two Canadian bands he could think of. There was a while when every single hockey player said they listened to Tragically Hip.
He would have mentioned Barenaked Ladies, but their name was always a bit too riske for him.

I really don’t get this refusal by some people to use twitter.
It’s one thing to just not use it because you just wouldn’t get much use out of it, but it’s another to outright refuse to use it “out of principle.”
Things change, technology advances. Get used to it and allow yourself to go along with it. It makes me think of people who were against cellphones or who thought the internet was a waste of time and stuff like that.
It just seems like people being stubborn.
I’m not saying that Twitter is the best thing ever, but it’s a great way to keep up-to-date on breaking news and it gives a more personal and humanizing view of athletes and celebrities. That doesn’t interest you? Fine, but I don’t see the need to be so adamantly against it that you feel the need to constantly speak out against it and point out how you REFUSE to use it.

Curing the cases of shittybanditis threatening our hockey players
My prescriptions to cure this horrible disease ravaging our beloved hockey players:
Dan Boyle (Godsmack): daily doses of “Spiderland” by Slint until the symptoms fade, then gradual rotation of the the first 3 Fugazi albums until all traces of Nü Metal have disappeared from his playlist.
Logan Couture (Drake, the Tragically Hip): Couture’s case of shittybanditis appears to be a Canadian mutation of the virus, so fight fire with fire I say. Massive doses of Fucked Up, Nomeansno, the Sainte Catherines, The New Pornographers, and Japandroids.
Patrick Marleau (Nickelback, the Tragically Hip again, local car dealer commercial jingles, Jingle Cats, novelty car horns): As bad of a case as I’ve seen, and there are limits to what we can do when the patient has reached stage 4 shittybanditis. I’d take a flyer on an experimental regimen of Mudhoney, Wire, Godspeed You Black Emperor, and Mogwai. If that fails, the emphasis is on comfort until the disease becomes terminal. The Flaming Lips “Soft Bulletin” is just put on repeat.
Ryan Getzlaf (country music): I assume this means “Nashville” nonsense like Taylor Swift, Brooks & Dunn, and LeAnn Rimes, and given that he’s from Regina, he’s probably into Shania Twain. Start off with Neko Case & Lorreta Lynn, then back up to some old-school badasses like Jimmy Williams, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson until he stabilizes. Then 2 weeks of The Cramps and some psychobilly (Reverand Horton Heat, Hayride to Hell) to kill any lingering symptoms. ONLY at that point can he be exposed to the Drive By Truckers.
The robot felt...more than Patrick Marleau but less than Yoshimi's pink model.

I have watched him play a ton. He may not be as skilled but has the most drive. I think that’s the problem with very skilled athletes. If a couple opportunities aren’t going their way, they begin to get frustrated because they souly rely on their skill. Toews is the best young captain in the league imo.

He does have good leadership qualities, but I’ve never seen him take over a game. I’ve seen Getzlaf, Thornton, and Kopitar all take over a game. Toews benefits from a strong supporting cast. Sharp and Keith are the reason the Blackhawks are great.

Give me a break. There’s a reason he won the conn smyth on a very stacked playoff team. He may not be capable of dominating in the corners on the cycle because of his build but he can carry his team when needed.

There’s a reason he won the Conn Smythe despite being the 3rd most important player on his team during that run.
Please explain how Keith and Sharp were anymore important than Toews?
He played in every situation, he won faceoffs and he shut down opposing toplines while being the playoff scoring leader.

That Conn Smythe was a joke. He won because most hockey writers are stupid. Keith played 30 minutes a game and controlled the play.

GO SHARKS!
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

If they were just comparing rookie season alone, the results would be even more lobsided.

This made me laugh so hard.
or Patrick Marleau, who lists his favorite musicians as “Nickelback and The Tragically Hip,” which is such a horrible answer that I suspect someone wrote that on the Sharks website as a joke.

Nice taste Boyle, A perfect circle owns
Honestly, didn’t expect that. Boyle seems more metal kind of guy. They were awesome in DC, and I have been debating on whether to see them while I’m visiting the bay.

Since Dan’s arrival, I’ve found it pretty awesome that a guy named Boyle is on a team called the Sharks.
Of course Sharks don’t jump as much as other fish except those crazy ones in South Africa but it’s still cool.
Cool side note: Shark Tank is the first suggestion when searching on google.
I think it’s cool that Satan played for the Devils, Hinote played for the Blues, and Fowler plays for the Ducks, but what do Boyles have to do with Sharks?

It has more to do with the water’s surface than actual sharks, unless they jump.
