History YMMV / FiveFingerDeathPunch

* DontShootTheMessage: Music/TheOffspring “Gone Away”, a deeply personal song written by Music/TheOffspring frontman Dexter Holland not too long after his then-wife was nearly killed in a gang shootout, was covered by 5FDP on ‘’And Justice for None’’, who instead interpret it as a tribute to [[WarIsHell families who've lost family members to war]], which is hammered home by the song's music video. While most fans won’t argue with the core message, more than a few listeners took issue with what they saw as 5FDP "inserting politics" into an originally deeply personal song.

* FaceOfTheBand: Ivan and Jeremy.

* SignatureSong: "Bad Company", "Under and Over It", "Coming Down", "Wrong Side of Heaven", "Jekyll and Hyde", "Blue on Black"

** Their cover of "Mama Said Knock You Out" is quite narmy. The original works as a hip hop number, but having the song in a metal style with ''growl-rapped'' vocals is unintentionally hilarious. Then there's the guitar solo that sounds like it's being played on a turntable.

** Their cover of "Mama Said Knock You Out" is quite narmy. The original works as a hip hop number, but having the song in a metal style with ''growled'' vocals is unintentionally hilarious.
** Most of their material since at least ''Got Your Six'' is nothing but Moody complaining about how he hates everything and how everything hates him. It's completely prominent in ''And Justice for None'', culminating in the track "Rock Bottom", which contains lyrics such as "You don't like it, you can go ahead and die!"

** The spoken word bridge in "Never Enough".

''For the time being, I am what I am.''

* SignatureSong: "Bad Company", "Under and Over It", "Coming Down".

* {{Narm}}: Some of their lyrics cross the line of badassery into just plain corny.
** In particular is the spoken bridge in "War Is the Answer":
--> ''You want to disrespect me, you little fucking punk?''\\

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The "[[Music/FaithNoMore From Out of Nowhere]]" cover. It's faithful to the original song, yet still has a definite FFDP flavor to it. Beautiful.

** "I Apologize" is Ivan begging forgiveness from everyone he hurt through his alcoholism, and a promise to move forward. The music video is the real kicker, depicting a shovel-toting Ivan wandering through a cemetery of famous musicians who died from overdoses/acoholism-among them Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Bon Scott, and Lemmy Kilmister-digging his own grave, and ultimately abandoning his liquor flask in the pit and walking away.

''Everything I've done to be who I am, as far as I've fucking come''\\
'''''I'll slap you so fucking hard, it'll feel like you kissed a freight train'''''\\

Fuck you.

Fuck you.''

** "Far From Home". It appears to be told from the perspective of a weary soldier.
