01.12.09 ARNOCORPS INVENTS NEW GENRE, ARNO-CORE
I may be a little late to the party on this one considering their Wiki page says they’ve been around since 2001, but long story short, there’s a band out there called ArnoCorps who dress up like Schwarzenegger and whose songs are all about Schwarzenegger movies. I think you’ll agree, few subjects have ever been so worthy of song.
The band’s stage show sees all five members dressed in combat fatigues and camouflage paint (most likely inspired by Predator and Commando) and address the audience in false Austrian accents. Each band member uses a pseudonym and they also claim to have six deceased former members. For some time ArnoCorps had two bass players in their line-up (an arrangement they referred to as “heroic symmetry”).
As a further part of their act, ArnoCorps claim to be inspired by ancient folklore and mythology originating from the alps of their “native” Austria. ArnoCorps went further to charge several Hollywood movie studios with “stealing” the lore and mythology of Austria for plot material and dialogue in the films they have parodied. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the band attempted to launch a class-action lawsuit against the studios on behalf of the Austrian people in 2004, which failed to make it to court.[Wiki]
Wow, I think Anal Cunt may just have been replaced as my favorite band. I mean, there are gimmicks and then there are awesome gimmicks. (the latter demand italicization)
*tunes up guitar, makes sure “Busey Brigade” hasn’t been taken*

most likely inspired by Predator and Commando
Most likely, yes. We don’t want to rule out the fatigues he wore in Jingle All the Way.
Finally, an excuse to start the Posner Platoon!
What kinda music?
Metal but, it doesn’t matter, NOTHING ROCKS MORE THAN POSNER’S FACE.
Instead of biting the head off a bat, these guys would punch out a camel
Get In Da Choppah was clearly their breakout album. Though Krom Iz a Bitch is the true fan fav.
I’ll be back. In black.
Kindergarten Cop Rock.
These guys will be pretty solid until James Cameron stops mixing them and McCheese steps in to run the show
So when are these guys coming in concert?
They need to write “IT’S NOT A TUMAH.”
Dun-dunna-dun GET TO DA CHOPPA!
I’d rather listen to the ‘Aries Spearifics’.
He’s got the Republican-married-to-a-Kennedy Blues.
I’m waiting for a band that speaks to my love of mid-90s ABC sitcom neighbors.
Jamie Lee Curtis: Did you ever release any singles?
Arnocorps: Yeah, but dey were all bad.
Get In Da Choppah is a song by Austrian Death Machine.
Hello Caleeforneeya!!! Are you ready to rock? And things of that nature?
They aint got shit on the Steven Svengalis.
Stallone Rangers is a pretty good band, but their name is confusing.
The Stallone Batallione would be much better if they played anything other than a 30 minute jam of the theme from Rocky.
Jean Claud Van Damme Yankees is one of my favorites.
We can only imagine what the logo for Van Dammage would look like if it were a Black Metal band.
Much props on that one, Donk.
You guys want some really easy listening?
Go with Fleetwood Macaulay Culkin.
Goodbye afternoon. Nothing but youtube Arnie clips now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfp-8emmA7g
Ahh, it’s good getting paid for this.
Burnsy, would they have to provide their own fences?
