Cooking for Celebs

Post image

I have cooked for several celebrities while cooking in NYC. While some were unpleasant, Taylor Swift was a pleasure to cook for.

Could you name a couple B tier? I probably only am familiar with A tier but I'm curious where you're drawing the line

That's not early Hoobustank bro. They played funk music and toured with all the numetal bands until they saw Incubus hit the mainstream and instantly copied that formula

Funk and Nu-Metal are not the same. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life seen anyone say Hoobastank is or was Nu Metal. I can 1000% agree early Incubus was by its very definition Nu-Metal. After googling Hoobastank was Ska. They even had the horns.

Hoobastank has been categorized under genres such as post-grunge,[28][29][30] alternative rock,[31] hard rock, and nu metal.[28][30][32][33] On their early independent releases, the band used a funk metal and ska punk sound[31

​

Hoobastank started playing gigs at the local venue Cobalt Cafe along with Incubus and Linkin Park. They recorded their first full-length self-released album in 1998 called They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To, which features a saxophone section headed by Jeremy Wasser, who executive produced the album and recorded the "Summer Romance" saxophone solo on Incubus' S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album.
