10 WWE Stars With Laughably Bad Music Careers
5. Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy's band is called PeroxWhy?gen. It is the least baffling thing about it.
In a continuation of the theme of irony, Jeff's most infamous effort goes by the name 'Apology'. What he's apologising for precisely remains unclear, given that the production is to music what Kevin Dunn is to pro wrestling. For reasons that also remain unclear, the song begins with 11 full seconds of near-silence. Then, a down-tuned, plucked, eastern-style melody materialises, as nu-metal as a backwards cap and tragically lame mizzpellinz, as Jeff begins to apologise for all the things that he has done. There is no segue between the intro and the riff - that would require musicianship - and the riff itself is a sh*t-brained crunching latter-day Korn jam distorted to within an inch of its pathetic life.
The vocals aren't clear, likely because Jeff was, euphemistically, a troubled man in 2003. Active since that year, Jeff just missed the Ross Robinson boat, which probably wouldn't have helped PeroxWhy?gen's cause. Worse than Adema, 36 Crazyfists, and Spineshank, PeroxWhy?gen are the worst band to have ever operated within arguably the worst music genre ever.
Jeff Hardy is a handsome, charismatic, alternatively-adorned rock star of a pro wrestler. He shouldn't have lived the gimmick.
