10/10.

Great song, and the fact the video has Christopher Walken dancing is a 10 from me anyday.

 

Little Man Tate - House Party at Boothy's

 

[asimov]

5/10...meh

 

 

[Scarface187]

8/10. 2 Live Crew is great and that song is a classic.

 

 

 

 

The best song on Beyond Hell and one of GWAR's best in general. It is specially great live.

[4thosebout2rock]

I didnt know dogs could sing, No really it was just ok if the dude sang better id had given it 7 but its a 5/10

 

 

[Scarface187]

Why did I know there was going to be generic clean vocals mixed in with your typical sh*tty growling...

 

 

 

 

 

"This song is all about killing people, cause that's what I like to do!"

 

 

The guitar solo is f*cking awesome.

[4thosebout2rock]

Because i like that kinda stuff off course, Though growling isnt sh*tty im sure you enjoy some bands which do it.

 

I actually enjoyed that one though so 7/10 and the solo was pretty sick!, You also didnt rate the song. . .

 

 

[Starion]

5/10

 

At first, it seemed okay, with the opening riff sounding quite Testament. But then I realised it didn't, and the song got pretty boring pretty quick, especially with both types of vocals sounding pretty crap.

 

 

Speaking of Testament:

 

 

[4thosebout2rock]

Love testament so 10/10

 

 

[rampage!]

7/10. I couldn't understand the lyrics, but I liked the riff.

Couldn't watch the above video, sorry.

 

 

 

 

[Juice By Kayla Marie]

7/10. I couldn't understand the lyrics, but I liked the riff.

Erm, I don't really like that song I use to when I was like 10... 4/10

 

and the video above me (El Zilcho)

a 4/10 too.... way to repetitive for me. lol

 

 

 

[Slamman]

 

good lyrics. catchy.  9/10

Walken is a trained dancer, and theater man, the video is very good, but it was already heavy rotation when I had cable, LONG ago. I saw suffocation live more then once, but never seen Gwar. Did see the Mentors though, apparently they don't get along. It's all stage act anyway, just a show like Alice Cooper. I didn't get back to a rating because of the site issues along with dialup being good for text, some graphics, and VERY LITTLE video!

 

Kayla, Not familiar with them, but long ago on Earl Root's ROAE radio show, he played a band called The Interc*ntinental Linguists if I recall, it is likely archived in my massive tape recording collection, but I only recall some odd band names being announced that never left my head!

 

Even though they used the word C * N T in there to be creative, the GTAF censored it! ARGH!

5/5 for all the music I don't normally select. To each their own personal taste, as always

I did go back and listen to this again, the above song, and for me, it's not what I normally like, but not offensive, I'd say it's a 4/10 perhaps to my ears

Kayla's video: 7/10 I had a couple of albums from CunninLynguists, and they were pretty good, but they were more of the listen-to-once-or-twice kinds of albums to me.

 

 

 

 

I hope whoever reviews this has enough time to listen to it all.

 

[Scarface187]

7/10. Godspeed is great but this however is my favorite song of theirs.

 

 

 

 

Just wow. Its beautiful.

[conor_oberst]

9/10

 

nearly flawless but i'd point to "Sleep" as the quintessential GY!BE experience. they really employ the poignant monologue thing better than almost anyone.

 

 

 

oh and Moya is like a 9.5/10

[ATM0SPHERE]

7/10 Really sloooww, to slow for me right now but it's content i like the beat and the vocals are ok.

 

 

 

Oh yeahhhhh

[Slamman]

I listened to just over half of Cage, but to me it defines music that has no soul or art. Anyone can create that "music", there's no melody that I can define with it. It's not absolute horrible material, but what one gains from listening to it, I dunno. I worked in factories where the machine drone is very similar, and not something I enjoyed hearing prolonged. Do you dance to it? 2/10 rating as it's not really even Rap in my book.

....===----

 

I did neglect to add a video for review, my batteries died and I was dealing with Twitter account stats. Before all that. I was looking over the prior entries. I had wanted to post this song because it's pretty damn good lyrically and it shows what makes Todd Rundgren so great, his caustic humor!

 

I have an interview with Todd and Utopia circa 1984, I will add a thread with most of that submitted soon for you guys and gals. Looking at old magazine's there's a whole slew of quotes from artists we may take for granted today, but you gain new perspective and insight just from interviews that are 20 plus years old, like Jon Bongiovi in 1984 as well... This from FACES magazine, now tell me you remember that one?!

This vid is circa 2000...

 

Slight better audio here>

4/10 not really my.. erm, thing? xD

 

How about some

 

 

 

 

Great, I love me some MJ!

 

 

& for cage, I really enjoy him and his lyrics, a lot. clever.

[Slamman]

Nah, the Jackson 3 man!! 7/10, given MJ and the Jacksons were real singers, not just reading off lyrics and poems. I have to say, I seem to recall a guitar player online a number of years back, we were on the BC Rich site around 2001 or so, he had a band called Cage, it was a rock band mind you, based on the East Coast and he'd tried out for Ozzy's band after Rhoads died, and before Zakk Wylde auditioned, again, a bit sketchy on that, but I do recall he went to NY and played for Ozz. Pretty cool.

 

 

I was not a FAN per se, of Michael Jackson, until the 1980s. Jennifer Batton (Sp?) took over guitar after EVH played on Beat It. Interesting enough, looking over the Net, Metallica supposedly did Beat It just recently in tribute to Michael Jackson, but I didn't have time to check it out, but I must see and hear that!

It was up on Twitter as a link.

I watched other variety shows in the 1970s, like Sonny and Cher I recall the most. Smothers Brothers. Hee Haw, Laugh In. Well, I missed the good ones like Midnight Special

Here's another one just for fun... Todd covers the Red Rider classic "Lunatic Fringe", Tom Cochrane does it better and many people, well, I assume MANY, but a few confuse it for Tom Petty. Canadians don't I expect!

 

To compare if you dig the original, I never knew there was a promo vid!

6/10. Didn't love it, Didn't hate it.

Btw, I'm diggin' that guys hair.

 

 

hell yeahhhh

[Slamman]

NAS ain't ma thing either, but I'll give it a fair OPEN MINDED listen.

Vote will be edited in here, I got battery laptop warnings, so I gotta charge again, and this DP'd due to the server timing out the request, BTW

Seems the message is making a difference where you reside, rising above things against you, and encouraging and empowering are all worthy things to sing about, rap about, but for me, the lyrics are always secondary, music comes first. I like the change is build of the song, so I'd say as far as rap over all 3/10 or 3.5 Rap is a tricky one for me, I just never listen of my own accord

With the other songs I will be listening back to later as time allows as well. The neat thing here is we can share songs that themselves, I feel would be pretty important to each person and not just plucked from the blue sky.

 

With that in mind, this LIVE version is a one off gig for Metal Blade Records' 07 B day bash, and I don't think it equals the studio cut, so compare them with the two found on YouTube. The record also features a track found in a classic Michael Keaton film, based on an actual true story. He plays a tenant from Hell to Mathew Modine and his wife. The title escapes me, but I believe also in the film is the video and music of SoundGarden. One of their best early tracks!!

8/10, just made me bang my head along to it for the whole track, I liked it.

 

Time for something completely different haha.

 

 

 

By the way, this may be a stupid question, but I consider it legitimate. Do the songs have to be English? I have some killer Serb sh*t which I find really, extremely f*cking catchy, even though most of you won't understand it lol.

[Flesh-n-Bone]

-Nas "One Mic"-

hell yeahhhh

Needs a legitimate opinion ;P

10 out of 10 without a doubt. Lyrically killah!

 

To Stefan's song, 4/10 - that is what puts hip hop in shame, no offense!

 

Now..

 

 

 

One of the best songs... I... have... ever... heard!

 

"Please stop with the bull, this is profitable."

"Society will rape ya when you fight forces of nature."

[Damien.]

Boring beat, Intressting Lyrics & Bad Vocals ("flow" or whatever). 5/10

 

The Bruisers - Intimidation

 

 

The singer sings for Dropkick Murphy's now

[Darrel]

I dont know. Kind of makes me want to shave off my hair and go for a fight. 6/10

 

 

[Damon]

9/10. Massive Pixies fan here. That's one of the first songs I heard that got me into them.

 

 

 

Weezer - The Good Life

[John The Grudge]

7/10 Weezer are a good band. I like their positive sound.

 

Ray Bryant - Up Above The Rock
