C’mon HMP, you’re the 80’s popmeister.

C’mon HMP, you’re the 80’s popmeister.
I’m unfamiliar with them, watched some the vid, and saw bunch of screaming and what looks like someone’s internals. If that was on the kids ipods when they were living at home, they’d have been confiscated.
Baby boomer, nope, that’s my parents.OK boomer?
I went through a bunch of band’s lyrics ~15 years ago to see what my kids and their friends were listening to. Then we had the GIGO discussion, and are those the thoughts they wanted to be feeding their minds.While I have to agree for different reasons, yes, Slipknot sucks.
But they are pretty commercial, and quite tame. You're in the shallow end of the pool with them, there's much scarier entities in the deep end.
Baby boomer, nope, that’s my parents.
Understood, I love the blues, it’s art, pain and it emotes. It doesn’t make one feel joyful. To quote/paraphrase someone else in the forum, it makes me feel.I partially agree with you. I generally scan lyrics before I go buying an album. There are things I don't want in my mind. I have a hard enough time controlling my tongue without getting a catchy expletive laced song stuck in my head.
That being said, pain, suffering, loss, grief, whatever. Those things have a place in art, and are in general what makes good art become great art. But Slipknot is not art.
As long as we're talking about "heavy" music, I'm really enjoying the new Norma Jean album.
I listened to them both to the end. I didn’t hear/understand and words, all I heard was rage and vocal chord damage.;Please, go back one page to my ZAO post, Id be curious what you think of them.
Please, give it 5 minutes (should be enough for both vids), and tell me your thoughts
Thanks for taking the time to break that down. I’m glad I asked what am I missing instead of my initial impression. Lyrics I approve, that sound I’m unable to enjoy.It can be hard for someone not used to that kind of music to pick up on the lyrics. Example: A Fall Farewell:
(I woke up one morning, and he was dead)
In a time of quietness I reflect on childhood memories
Caught wisping through my mind
Falling leaves create the stage
Words spoken were not cherished
On the last day of our friendship
And those words were possibly the last
What were your thoughts
As a dreaming child I awaken to a nightmare
After a gentle nudge I find out you're gone
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Before, before you passed on you slipped
You slipped, you passed on
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Before you passed on
You slipped on away into the ground
You broke the vanity
You brought the silence
Both songs are actually really thoughtful, and not at all about rage. You have to understand that this type of vocal is a style, it's part of the genre.
Sadly, Davey Havok of AFI.I think I can count on one hand the number of vocalists who have had to stop or change their singing to avoid damage. Chino Moreno and the guy who used to sing for the old band Embodyment are the first two that come to mind. Both of them kept singing, just with less screaming.
