Lets see the next big thing who can do Reggae, Pop, R&B, EDM etc as effortlessly as Rihanna. What is stopping the next big black pop star or anyone else for that matter from singing songs in all the genre that Rih has dabbled in and make a huge success of it the same way Rihanna did? What is stopping them? I mean the dude's from Salem, MA theres probably witches and shit haunting that place right? Gonna see them next time the roll through here and hope he's been drinking lots of honey tea.So why havent they tried?. After seeing them live I assumed it must be some kind of studio trickery, just throwing his voice through hella distortion or something, but like I said I've seen other videos of them and he does in fact sound like that. Yeah, its pretty amazing that the dude can still speak after all these years. I mean, there's your average death growls, your average hardcore screaming, and then there's the otherworldly banshee wails that come out of Banon's mouth. Jacob Banon shouldn't be able to do anything with his vocal chords after recording Jane Doe. I bet a long tour can fuck his vocal chords pretty horribly too. That might have just been a one off though, I seen a few live vids where he was pretty on point. Bannon couldn't do that voice live, at all. I'd spell out a more, but it'd be a waterfall, I've been to 100s of great club shows, and some good shows in bigger venues.Īcts I've never seen and would most like to:Ĭonverge weren't great when I saw them a few years ago. It was a bummer, as I know they're often better.īest shows I've seen, off the top of my head: They played a trippy set eschewing anything with tempo for slow, listful tunes. Lastly, and most painfully, I saw Primus at a club when they were touring for Tales from the Punchbowl. I saw them play a show with Slipknot, Rammstein, and Mudvayne, and they sounded lifeless. Those first two major label albums were great, as were what I saw of them live. System of a Down burned bright and briefly. Their tours up through probably The Fragile were amazing. Nine Inch Nails bummed me out when they lost their edge. I did see one maybe 7 years ago that had the sounds all move across the room though, which was great), and I try to go to every show they got So, I've been fortunate enough to see a bunch of amazing bands live. We've got one fantastic location in Stockholm with speakers along the walls across the entire room (also on separate channels if the performers want to use that, though most don't. Then, I'd say the venue does a lot of difference too, a lot of big venues just have absolutely awful sound systems. Really didn't like the sound balance seeing KMFDM live either, with the guitars overpowering everything else, but at least it was fun seeing them switch floppies on their sampler in-between tracks. Mortiis and Coph Nia were fucking jokes live, and Merzbow was kind of a bummer. There are still a few going the old school route with tape loops and found percussion, which is awesome (Brighter Death Now, Puce Mary, Umpio and Altar of Flies come to mind), but they're in the vast minority.
As a fan of industrial and noise, I'd say most of the currently active acts are pretty atrocious live nowadays, as most just press play on their macbooks and make occasional gestures towards the crowd.
