The reason Detroit fell apart is that they made too many real estate loans to ninjas. (NoIncomeNoJobAsStatedincome)

Where do you come up w/this crap ...the downfall of Detroit is directly related to The Big Three!!

There was a documentary about it, I think it was on PBS.

*I reconsulted my information. My bad...you're right. It was Memphis I saw this info about.

You should listen to Detroit's Downfall sometime ...you might like!!
http://bands.goanddomichigan.com/band.asp?ID=11
The members: Detroit’s Downfall is Kevin Gondek on vocals, Jimmey Burns on guitar, Tom Haley on bass and drummer Gary Poupard. The guys are all natives of the metro Detroit area.

The history: Playing its first show at Scalici’s in Allen Park in June 2003, the group has only been in existence for about one year. The founding rhythm section of Burns and Haley linked up with Poupard to join on drums, and through the audition process brought on Gondek to handle vocal duties. A few shows into its existence, the band decided to play the image card and go with crazy clothes and face paint on-stage. Burns adds that his personal facial image is a tribute to one of his biggest influences, Detroit hip-hop act ICP.

What's up with the name: The group’s moniker certainly doesn’t display a real “glass-half-full” type of mentality, but nonetheless means something to the band’s members. “The name Downfall represents the decaying of our world as we know it … with all the war and hatred and corruption around the world today,” said Burns. “It seems as though we are heading for the downfall of society as we know it.”

The style: Detroit’s Downfall plays what it cites as original hard rock music, and hopes that it can one day be synonymous with artists like Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper and Bob Seger.

Got anything recorded? A three-song EP is the first recorded product the band has to offer, and can be obtained free of charge at Detroit Downfall’s shows or by e-mailing the band at downfallrockband@netzero.com. The group’s full-length debut disc will drop sometime late this year.

Tell us your future? “Our goal for our future is to try and be the next big famous band out of Detroit,” said Burns. “We’re having fun playing out and the most important thing … is being with the fans and relating with them at every show. We wouldn’t amount to anything without the support of all the rowdy and crazy Detroit fans.”

Don't make me go blueskies on you about the Great State of Michigan!!

PearTree~your clip is ANYCITY, USA!! Detroit is a great city, that vid
showed nothing but pure devastation.

TNB~I'm a Michigan Girl ...it's still my home and the Maize and Blue
flows through my veins!! You might not find me there all of the time, but
RWF, Michigan Deb, Marabelle, KW and Jason are still there~oh and
Koegels!!

Steveforever~I say go, you'll love Michigan and she'll love you right back!!
It is simply Breathtaking!!
Eat a hot dog, Koegels~only in Michigan!!


I do love the Louisiana nicknames, though!!

I beg to differ, I have traveled all over the US to cities large and small and Detroit is a shithole. Sorry I calls 'em like I sees 'em. However, much of Michigan is beautiful and there are many clean and beautiful places to visit. just stay away from the rust belt cities.

I'd love to have a bit of money and literally go steal blocks of houses and rehabilitate them into sec. 8 housing. The government will make sure I get paid and my management will deal with all the miscreants that live there. I'd get rich...flat, fucking, filthy rich!

And, B-bitch and company, tone down on the size of those pics!

My point was that SF chose a very beautiful clip and stated she'd love to visit Michigan, you chose
a clip from Detroit's Ghetto and told her that is what she'd likely see. I was born raised and educated in that state and I know that
the vision you chose to portray,Detroit, for the entire state of Michigan~ is false . I don't care how much you have traveled,
there are some very beautiful sections of Detroit and you chose to see the devastation, that's all ...appreciate your viewpoint though!!

Can't wait for your visit to N'awlins!!

Yeah but Michael Moore is from Michigan, that cancels that out in a heartbeat.

All joking aside Michigan is a real beautiful state, lots to do and see.
