wateroftyne Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 ..kind-of: http://youtu.be/XknSZNYTkkQ Apparently this isn't a joke. Who listens to this stuff? Quote
Guest bassman7755 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Shame because instrumentally I quite like it. Quote
paul_5 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 The first 55 seconds were really good. It 'tailed off' somewhat after that... Quote
rushbo Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Prog Rock Karaoke Nite featuring Tom Waits. Quote
Johngh Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 They should be lined up against a wall and shot..........useless idiots Quote
yorick Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 It was going quite well until he opened his gob........... Quote
Ziphoblat Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Those drums sound great. I love how there's no real discernible difference between the kick and the toms. No but that was pretty bad. Almost as bad as the MSI cover of Tom Sawyer. Quote
paul_5 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I'd pay good money to see Rush cover Cookie Monster though... Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 This is that taken out of context thing again, like when you isolate a solo bass bit from a concert, and make fun of the bassist for being widdly. Whole album of this vocal style, but a Rush cover for a change of pace, or juxtaposition, or jsut because they think it is funny. Quote
Josh Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Thankfully this is spared the growling nonsense: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4KseYqK8wM[/media] Quote
xilddx Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 The comedy 'I WILL KILL YOU" voice again I really can't get it, there's a rather large piece of my brain missing that means I can't understand what the positive associations are that allow some people to like this style of singing. It's good though, can't deny it. Quote

But not only did this guy have a particularly ridiculous voice, it totally didn't fit with the music which just made it extra funny Quote
bobbass4k Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 There is a place for growling and screaming (done well, which this isn't), but it has to be counterpointed with more melodic vocals. Case in point: Deftones Quote
merlin Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 had to have listen no 2,not sure why?? Quote

ahpook Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 i just spat crisps all over my laptop. it's like cookie monster hitting the 'epic' button over and over again Quote
KevB Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I'm not saying I like it but if it was a perfect reproduction of the original we would all be moaning that it was a 'pointless cover' and that the band should have put more of their own spin on it. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It just happens that their spin on it comes with vocals that are in a very particular style that appeals to a niche market. I think an earlier post has a point though that it does seem to be a poor mismatch in that the musical backing is close to the original which makes the vocal overlay that much more jarring. Perhaps a more OTT metal backing as well might have actually worked better, dunno. Quote
steve-soar Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7oGGud2Jk4[/media] Blame these guys. I'll tell Jeff how upset he's made you all feel when I next see him. Quote
charic Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 [quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1361867208' post='1991994'] I challenge anyone to listen to this video all the way through! [/quote] Done it and enjoyed it, turn the keyboard and vocals down to fit in the mix a bit better though. Quote

I'd rather go to the zoo where there is growling and screaming a plenty. Quote
