Anybody out there listen to him? I think his music kicks ass. His first CD was good and the 2nd one is even better. I just got it today and it fucking rules. long live party music

docbungle

I don't consider WK a good musician. He plays, imo, television commercial music. I've tried to like him, but just can't find any quality or originality.

It's good party music. It's fun, it's simple. I don't mind it at all.

Jeff

I like it, sure there's nothing really to the lyrics, but it sounds so good loud.

He is awesome. I just saw him last night, it was the second time I've seen him. He is so much fun live, and absolutely amazing to his fans. He spends at least 6 hours after every show outside, just hanging out and signing stuff. The absolute nicest and down to earth 'rock star' I've ever come across or heard about.

Kaos

Not really a fan, but I can't say his music is total shit either...

SkanK0r

You know, I tried really hard to hate it. And then I got conned into one of his shows, and actually met the dude. I introduced myself, and he said, "Hey man! My name's Andrew, too! Lets go have some fun!" Nicest guy on the planet. He's insanely positive. And since then I've admitted that his songs are extremely fucking catchy and fun.

Andrew W.K.'s music is mediocre. But Andrew W.K. as a person...awesome. Have you ever read anything he's written? He is so amazingly in love with his fans. I was amazed by some of the great lengths he does to make fans happy. I've seen him in concert, too....it roxxored.

costello

i went to a show to see the casualties and them and the used (back when nobody knew em) opened for andrew wk. we were gonna leave once the casualties left, because i have no interest in commercial party music, but he said something stupid and funny so we stuck around for a few songs, very entertaining if nothing else so he gets points for that

He rocks.

He doesn't have a social message or a political agenda. He isn't an artist who feels that he and his music have to grow up.

He just rocks. Hard. Here's to you, Andrew.

SabrinaFair

I enjoy Andrew W.K. Although not artistically complex, his songs are just plain catchy and fun. It's not something I listen to all the time, but when I'm getting ready to go party, hella yeah I like Andrew W.K.

Part of the reason I'm into him is that he totally reminds me of 80s hair metal. Not so much for his sound, but for his attitude. He's just out there rocking out and having fun. No serious agendas or messages. I like that.

i never ever listen to him...

...but if he's ever in town.. i'll pay mucho money to see him live... he puts on one of the best live shows you'll ever see... and i'm completely serious about this...

i found this out when a friend of mine dragged me to one of his shows... needless to say i was pretty impressed...

Not to take a shot at WK but I really hope Donald Tardy leaves the band so Obituary can reform!!! Slowly we ROT!

anleja

I only know a couple of his songs, but there is a good interview of his on-line at the "Onion A.V. Club."

holtmate

I love the fact that his music is just plain and simple rock. Nothing deep at all. Great stuff to listen to when you're burned out by all of the depressing, heavy stuff out there.

I think I'll have to go see him live now, after reading all of the rave reviews.

Seanathan03

she is beautiful is a good song but his stuff kinda gets old, sounds the same after a while

HLP

Andrew WK is one of my favorites, since his songs are simple and returning to the roots of rock. This music is just the best and I get so into it.

And his live shows... FANTASTIC! I went for the first time on Halloween and I was amazed! He invites everyone on stage and gets so happy when he sees a fan. Im about to go see him again on May 12th! If you like rock, go see a live show! BEST. SHOW. EVER!

evilbeefchan

My favorite artist and idol of all time!!!!! Great songs, and great person too. Did anyone catch an MTV special with him? When I believe he went to a Northern Carolina University and spent a week or so dorming with the ladies? They gave him cornrolls, and he taught them that crazy dance he does. The school marching band even played "She Is Beautiful."

evilbeefchan

Looks like he's getting his own show on MTV2! <a href="http://www.mtv.com/onair/mtv2/ask_andrew/index.jhtml" target="_new">Your Friend, Andrew W.K.</a> I thought the name was lame at first, but it sorta fits him. Too bad I don't get MTV2 anymore.

josh_s08

He played a show in bowing green a year or so ago. I guess it ended at one or so, and, as said before, he stayed to chat with fans and such untill like 8 in the morning.

He was suspposed to play at a show i went to a few weeks ago, with Thrusday, Head Automatica, The Bronx but he didnt for some reason, i dont really know why. Piebold played instead and they sucked. A lot. His songs are catchy, i still dont know if i like them, but he if very talanted.

buclao

Not really a big fan, but I remember seeing him on the Spike TV video game awards and he rocked the crowd in a wheelchair.

nicculus

do all of his songs sound the same, or has he created his own sound? I'm going with the latter. It's not groundbreaking, but it's so much better than any rock on the radio these days. I generally prefer music of a higher caliber, but Andrew WK is a guilty pleasure. Simple, and fucking Powerful.

KWSN

he needs a shower desperately.

I dig his music, good fun it is.


I also heard he personally called the first 250 people that preordered his new album just to say thanks. What a cool guy.

bbbbbb555

his music is fun, and he went crazy when i saw him live, so i like him
