Yeah, I figured having every other word rhyme and then adding in a line about rhyming dictionaries would bring the lulz.

I can't wait to hear you attempt to growl this.

You may not have to wait long. I have some free time to record tomorrow. :yes:



However, I have no clue how I'm going to make it through this without laughing hysterically. This is bad.

But seriously, I have no clue how I'm going to make it through this without laughing hysterically.

This is going to be wonderfully hilarious. :lol:

Have you ever tried death growls before? I find I can't do a decent growl to save myself, but I can pull off black metal rasping.

I'm going to have to turn the mic up pretty loud, lest I shred my throat instead of my guitar, but I can do a pretty OK growl, yes.

Growling "Maggot-sucking piece of shit" will be a highlight of my day, surely.
 
So, I'm working on something for Screwtape's upload idea, and I love The Shadows. Their songs are so short that I've included 8 songs and used up less than 20 minutes of playtime!

Ah, cool. I kill my throat too much trying to do proper growls. Apparently the proper way to do it doesn't damage your throat, but I can't do it. Can't say I'm too eager to learn either.

"Fucking fucked-up lymph nodes" is a great one too. :laugh:

What other artists are you including?
 
I'm gonna sit here and nibble a Toblerone while listening to Evanescence.

And yes, while I do consider myself too good for American chocolate (the only two exceptions being Dove and Ghirardelli) I am definitely not too good for ex-Christian Arkansas goth metal.

They're ex-Christian now?

Oh no, what are the poor fundie kids going to tell their parents now!

I haven't a clue yet. It'll be something obscure, for sure.

I'm wondering if I should use some Blackfield, another one of Steven Wilson's bands. Largely quite different to Porcupine Tree in their end result - the focus is on conventional pop-rock songwriting, as the other important figure in Blackfield is Israeli pop star Aviv Geffen. That said, songs like Lazarus are similar to Blackfield compositions.
 
Oh man, I love listening to The Shadows. This is totally the sound of my childhood. The memories and nostalgia are just amazing. I mean, I listen to music because of these guys. Everything comes back to The Shadows for me.

More like Christian members claiming not to be a Christian band. But before they broke into the mainstream, they'd gotten popular on Christian radio. Then they got on MTV and went "What? No! We're not a Christian band! No, not at all!"

I don't really care. I like their music, it's more about hating your ex boyfriend and suffering from depression than about Jesus anyway.

I need to come up with more lyrics tonight. There should be a spoken word section or two. Maybe...

You can't feel my pain, bitch. Or hear the sound of silence. I drink battery acid, you drink water. I'm fucking loaded with zinc, trust me. Yesterday I cut myself with my bathroom mirror. It hurt, but now I can brag about it at least. There's a sale on eyeliner at the mall, but fuck that; I can take a piece of onyx and make my own. The ice caps are melting, but fuck them, I can make more in my freezer. Yeah, I'm badass. You get it now? Good. Here comes the solo.

Evanescence was Christian at one point? I couldn't tell. Then again, I didn't exactly pay attention.

Ahh, right. :laugh:

Why are they even concerned about that, though? I mean, it's the US. Most people and their dog love Jeebus. I would have thought it'd be a selling point.
 
Disclaimer for LM and the Maj. and anybody else who may care: when I use "Jeebus", I'm not mocking Christianity per se or any of its genuine, head-screwed-on adherents (i.e. those of you here). Rather, I'm mocking the over-commercialised, watered-down, megachurched bullshit quasi-religion that Christianity all too often becomes.

In some ways, I use it to distinguish what I'm talking about. Jeebus is when I'm taking the piss out of fundies, Jesus is serious theological discussion and so forth.

Fair enough. It's also a solid Simpsons reference. :D

Their early stuff is especially laden with religious imagery (but really no more than U2), that's sinced seemed to mostly taper off though.

Their market is rebellious teens. The kind that use their allowance/daddy's credit card to buy dark clothes and makeup at Hot Topic (mass produced, overpriced goth/"punk" wear for teens who want to be different though it fails when everybody shops there so they all end up looking the same anyway), if they let themselves be labelled as Christian, that would be too acceptable, and thus they'd lose their fanbase ;)


Also, wtf:

Okay, I'm assuming this goes to some quiz thingy:

But when I first saw it, I just saw the main text and went "whuh", I mean if I were a four member rock band, I think I'd notice :lol:

My high school mercifully didn't have many of those types, but far too many surfer guys who thought they were just so fuckin' cool. You know, I'm-God's-gift-to-women types. But when you've gone to a Gold Coast high school, you tend to have gotten that.

Okay, I was gonna say 'a chicken sandwich' in this thread, but there is just no topping pepo's post.

When you said "pepo", I had think for a second before remembering "oh yeah, pedokiss!"

I'm shocked it's not a picture of Hannah Montana.

Yeah, they should just lock that now. A pic of Scarlett is probably the highlight of Pedokiss' stint here at interference.

I think it's just plain scary that this thing is suggesting I'm someone else without realizing it. And not just that... four seperate someone elses.

You're like God. Except a quadinity, not a trinity.
 
Mudvayne is almost as bad as Disturbed. Not quite, but in the same ballpark:


In this hole
That is me
The dead are rolling over
In this hole
Thickening
Dirt shoveled over shoulders

I feel it in me
So overwhelmed
Oh, this pressured center rising
My life overturned
Unfair the despair
All these scars keep ripping open

Peel me from the skin
Tear me from the rind
Does it make you happy now?

Tear meat from the bone
Tear me from myself
Are you feeling happy now?
