Mudvayne

Oh my God.

The best use of Mudvayne, the band.

Oh,

I don't know them.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears had And When I Die, Blue Oyster Cultist, Don't Fear the Reaper, Drowning Pools as Bodies, which, as we'll discuss in a second, really had nothing to do with anything.

Kansas' Dust in the Wind, Megadeth's Dread and the Fugitive, along with Sweating Bullets, Mudvayne's Death Blooms, Skeeter Davis' The End of the World, and The Doors' The End.

And then there were references to New York City or specific Middle Eastern geography that were pulled out in order to maintain cultural sensitivity, as they say.

Examples from the many New York-themed songs included ACDC again, this time with Safe in New York City, Don Henley's New York Minute, Frank Sinatra's theme from New York, New York, and the ad-libs with The Boy from New York City, Middle Eastern geographical references in The Bangles' Walk Like an Egyptian, and The Clash's Rock the Casbah.

The g- uh, the wrestlers come out to the ring.

Uh, it, it, it's no Mudvayne, but we've got probably my second favorite sign of the season, and what a 2005 sign this is, which just says, "Eddie stole my ringtone."

[laughs] Imagine he's just sitting there in work and then the guy next to him suddenly goes, "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding-"

[laughs]

Uh, from Slayer, Seasons in the Abyss, The Warning Uh, Slayer's postmortem for everything going on.

Uh, Mudvayne, Korn, Pantera, Motorhead, Wage War, Nickelback, Escape, and why isn't my screen picking up here?

Nickelback?

Uh, yeah, San Quentin for, um-

I mean, I remember, you know, a band that was kind of exciting at that time, I think around that time.

I hope it's not later or earlier, but Mudvayne.

It sounds kind of Mudvayne-ish at times, right? So it had that sort of nu metal vibe a little bit to it.

So yes, they're pandering a little to the new metal thing, but they're doing it totally their way.

It's a very bizarre album that doesn't sound really like anything else out there.
