sometimes you just need visuals ...

[lurch70]

you know, it has been numerous times when seeing a video from a band has completely changed my view of them.

case in point ... this video from Lamb of God ... these fuckers are thrash .... no way nu-metal or close

[MajestikMøøse]

if I only had access to my other computer I'd yousendit some of the better ones I have saved..

 

[E-bortion]

Disagree. Totally disagree.

 

[lurch70]

Disagree. Totally disagree.

with what? LOG? or needing visuals in general?

 

[J.]

who cares. they still suck

 

[DE]

what how can you listen to lamb of god's vocals and not consider them metalcore/nu-metal/whatever

 

[MajestikMøøse]

on a side note: Meshuggah's New Millenium Cyanide Christ is 1000x better with the visual of them air-guitaring it in a moving RV.

just sayin.

Lamb of God ... these fuckers are thrash

Well duh. Who the fuck says they aren't? Just plain stupid to deny this. Yes I know people say they aren't and it's only because of the singer's haircut or some other completely unrelated to music reason.

But I disagree with your main statement. Most videos blow chunks, even if stuff like New Millenium Cyanide Christ are pretty cool, it's not something that adds or detracts from the music for me.

 

[E-bortion]

Yeah, pretty much the video thing

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I don't think visuals have ever helped me enjoy a song any more. In fact, I think they do anything, it usually lessens my enjoyment.

 

[Hell Mike]

I've got pretty many kickass vids but also a transfer limit so I can't yousend'em just yet

 

[NAD]

Okay I just remembered one: Pearl Jam - Jeremy

I already had the album for awhile, but didn't really love that song until after I saw the video. This is what is known as the exception to the rule.

I love that video. It was such the prelude to Columbine.

LoG rule.

LoG not new Metal.

Videos do occasionally change my perspective on a song.

[Dark One]

LoG rule.

Agreed.

LoG not new Metal.

Another "grey" area, let's categorize the band as "this" sub-genre or "that" sub-genre, which can get really annoying. To me, they're a crossover modern heavy metal band with just enough hardcore tendencies to appeal to the "martial arts moshing" MTV metal audience.

At live shows, this factor does indeed hinder my enjoyment of their performances. I find myself focusing on the....... uh..... "pit" (if you can call it that), and wanting to destroy everyone in it rather than focusing on the show.

Videos do occasionally change my perspective on a song.

Hmmm... I've never really come across an instance for myself where a video has changed my perspective on a song in a good way, though I'm sure it's possible.

 

[MFJ]

For once we agree, sir.

Aside from LoG, I don't necessarily believe that video can shape my view of a song in a positive or negative way, but I doooo enjoy a good video.

Prime example: ANY VIDEO TOOL EVER MADE BECAUSE TOOL RULES AND DEAL WITH IT (especially the Sober video).

 

[Reign in Acai]

Good videos can not make shitty music more audiogenically digestable. LoG give me heartburn.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

the video for hate eternal's "powers that be" made me laugh hysterically

edit: and let us never forget

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

omg.... call of the wintermoon.... lol... i laugh everytime I hear that song now... I laugh hard!

 

[lurch70]

anyone have a link to that video?
