No I don’t remember as I was not in a recording studio with Disturbed in 1999.
I remember that. Everyone else was there.
Such a shame you can’t do stuff like that anymore, too many people
back in 1999 the world population had barely tipped 6 billion so you could still fit everyone inside the recording studioAnd that’s the reason the studio time is so expensive, they’re so massive
Man. I was home, sick, that day.
This song was my first real exposure to “radio censorship”, was eye opening for me. The song is a metaphor for generational child abuse and a cry for help, fighting against the urge to descend into the same pattern themselves and breaking. and then the radio cut turned it into a damned anthem of violence removing the context.
There’s a handful of songs where I listen to the radio edit, and just wonder why they bothered.
Owfk The World, being the radio edit of ICP’s Fuck The World was unintentionally hilarious.
“In this song i say ‘owfk’ 93 times!” and “owfk Lyle Lovett, whoever the owfk that is!”
Go watch The Vengeful One. Not only is the song a banger by itself but the video is more pertinent to current events than ever.
Edit - Here. Saved you the trouble of finding it. - https://youtu.be/8nW-IPrzM1g
I wonder how they would write this song today, given their front man’s current (1) political (2) leanings (3)
I know… it sucks when your old favorites turn out to be assholes. I was a huge fan of Smashing Pumpkins back in the day.
Thankfully Green Day and The Offspring haven’t let me down.
Man… I used to listen to Lost Prophets a lot in college.
Never again, can never revisit any songs ever.
I’m surprised you could type out the name without vomiting uncontrollably.
You have no idea what my keyboard looks like right now, may have to replace it.
It really is. I’m still not over Morrissey haha
Oh dear god… I am terrified to ask this…but what happened with Smashing Pumpkins?
Nothing, billy corgan was always a prick. Some people are just finding this out now, for unfathomable reasons
Oh good. Its just about Corgan being a fucking loony toon weirdo.
I thought it was going to be something proper horrific like child sex trafficking, cannibalism, or republicanism.
Bad news dude. That article is from 2014. He has further lost his goddamn mind in the last 11 years.
I don’t care about regular everyday insanity.
as long as hes not, like, running a weird cannibal sex cult like jared leto or supporting conservatism/hatred/etc, I can at least listen to the old albums without feeling guilty.
Little confused by the second link. It’s not about Draiman, its just one of the band members saying assassinating trump wouldnt do the US any favours (I somewhat agree for different reasons, killing him would have started civil war 2 most likely).
In case you missed it/didn’t think of it, there’s a rather notorious tweet about student loans (unless he deleted it) that rubbed me the wrong way so I’d use that instead personally. He basically said “you took out a loan, pay it back” which ignores all the context for those who got one.
Plus there’s the fact their lyrics in the last album seem very “can’t we all just get along” and tends to trivialise many of the issues in the US right now. It’s this idea of “if we all just talked we’d see we have common ground” bullshit like no one has had a real conversation in the last 25 years cos they’re all on their phones etc.
OofEdit: the fucking quotation marks lmao, why yall hating?
Based. Not oof.
We don’t support genocide in this house. Not by anyone.
Yeah same, it was the quotation marks that prompted an oof.
No I dont think putting Palestine in quotation marks is “based”
Oof for Palestine in quotations or oof for support of Palestine?
The quotes, mang!
Haha, saw your edit! Sorry you’re getting flamed
That video is bonkers
“The bright side of genocide”
No but I’d love to hear that audio.
There is a radio version and uncut version of the song.
The uncut version has some extra… vocals in the bridge which is what this post refers to.
Starts at about 3:26.
Starting at said time:
Seeing the aphex twin visuals with the disturbed music really threw me off until i realized someone had just mashed them up.
Like, why’d she have to be such a bitch?
