Words of Wisdom
"Buffed Trent Reznor is basically just Glenn Danzig."
-- John O. (Law Student/Brother of Your Humble Editor)
This is particularly funny given the comment made by PDP-Contributor Juan S. after Coachella. "Dude, Trent Reznor is starting to look like Glenn Danzig."
And while we are on the subject of Mr. Reznor, I would like to take a moment to mention his new single. While "The Hand That Feeds" has a nice beat, the song is, in fact, ruined by that heaping pile of lyrical crap on top of it. Trent Reznor has never been accused (at least by me) of being a profound lyricist, but I am now convinced that he has a depressed, 13-year-old metal-goth ghostwriting his songs.
In other Liz-has-been-watching-way-too-much-Fuse news, I really want to cut out a snip of the chorus of "B.Y.O.B.," you know, the part where System of a Down starts to sound like Earth, Wind and Fire at an Armenian wedding (because, as my fellow Armos know, Serj always sings like a Der Hayr, or priest, even when he's got the funk). I want to take this slice of SOAD and loop it over a house track. It sounds very good in my head.

Oh man, I smell another hit single in the works--SOAD covering "Boogie Wonderland!" Who's with me on this one? Hello? *taps mic* Anyone..??? I can totally hear Serj draw out the "wonderlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand" in his crazy rockin' Armo way of delivering a lyric like only he can!!!! Oh yeah--most definitely :o)

As you probably know, I really, really do not like heavy metal, but I have a soft spot for SOAD and it is because of the vocals. For as much as is written about the band, nobody ever mentions that the vocals are derived from a traditional Armenian style of singing. Anyhow, I would absolutely love to hear SOAD incorporate more of the funky stuff into the music. It's a nice compliment for the vocals.
back on that earlier comment about Trent Reznor's new performance enhanced physique, what's going on in the world of rock? i think the feds need to amp up the testing on these entertainers. Have you seen the latest Queens of the Stonage video the lead singers neck doesn't even fit into a single frame! it's like he swallowed one of them deer muppets from his No One Knows video not knowing it was laced with the roids.
LOL! Did you check out the new Foo Fighters video? I think Dave Grohl is suffering from football neck now too.
