it's not afraid of the leaf. the wind (combined with his snorting) has confused it into thinking it's a moving animal. to a dog, a moving animal is food. because dogs kill living creatures by crushing them in their jaws, then eat them.
yet, the leaf isn't reacting. no chase is about to happen. so, the dog is really confused that the leaf isn't expressing any kind of fear, and doesn't really know how to go about killing it.
but, idiot humans would rather anthropomorphize scooby-doo in than deal with the homicidal nature of their pets.
the dog would have reacted very similarly to a dead mouse.
how about hipster boy-band pop-star metal?
isn't it what happens when justin timberlake starts a metal band?

well, now we know what stp would have sounded like if they were more of a punk band, like the one that did this cover. that thrashy slayer update to the tune is way more punk than the initial wussy meat puppets vibe. punk is about playing loud and hard, and also about playing fast solos.
i also want to bring specific attention to the vocals. this vocalist is probably a cyborg, because the notes are hit absolutely precisely. this is very punk, unlike weiland's uncontrolled howling. i bet weiland never even took a single singing class - very unpunk.

some people might suggest that this is an overproduced pop cover of a punk classic, but they're probably all gay.
....and retarded.

You sound so intelligent making assumptions about the mental capacity and sexual preference of an individual solely based upon his or her opinion towards a song that came out 20 years ago. Well done. I applaud your flawless deductive reasoning.
deathtokoalas
grace is clearly gay and retarded.
Grace Petry
Oh wow! I never even knew, thanks for appropriating my identity for me. I'll rest assured knowing that I am infinitely inferior to a great mind such as yourself. Would you like to go out sometime?

you missed a few corporate logos in your video, fearless records. where's brawndo? it's got electrolytes!
this song used to be really fun, in a self-depraved way. way to ruin it, shitty corporate hair metal band i've never heard of
Connor Brady
im not sure if you're just ignorant or dumb, its not "corporate bullshit advertising" it's telling people who dont download where to get the album you angsty fuck. like it much be hard to be as br00tal and edgy as you.
deathtokoalas
you're right. supporting independent labels isn't very punk rock, that's wussy gay shit for retards. real punks shop at walmart.
ah, that's better. needed to cleanse my ears...

well, this is awful, but who expected otherwise? i'm more interested in what the comp's title suggests, which is:
1) asking alexandria are a punk band,
2) who are going back to before there was punk,
3) in the 90s,
4) to punk it up.
that's right, everybody.
as the 90s were before solid punk bands like asking alexandria, we need all these real solid punk bands (like asking alexandria) to go back and punk it up for us.
year zero, indeed.
conversely, when do we get to hear some classic rock bands like black flag cover some real punk from the 00s and 10s?
i'd love to hear rollins lace into some of this shit. and jello'd just be fucking priceless if let loose on it...
omg there's a punk goes 80s with a rod stewart cover on it. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Die Younger
they're not punk, not the sound or the motifs to be a punk band
deathtokoalas
pfftt. gay and retarded. they're clearly punk. they're:
1) white
2) male
3) suburban and/or upper middle class
plus, they obviously have punk stylists. punk is really all about the hair...

yeah. i really hold almost all of his conceptual/instrumental work in an extremely high regard (although the ghosts concept was maybe beaten a bit hard, and it's time to move on) and am continually frustrated by his perpetual interest in being a pop star. you'd think he already has everything he could ever want, so now's the time to write the most fucking epic thing ever created. and there's bits and pieces of it. like, the tetsuo theme. i want an hour of music that draws itself out of the tetsuo theme, not generic-nin-dance-song-#37.
shrug.
or, whatever happened to the original version of the fragile? i think we got parts of it on still (which is fucking surreal and haunting and beautiful). but, it's known there's more to it...
this
record (and it's other version, which is a bit more experimental) had a
ridiculous amount of talented people involved in creating it and the
result is very much the sum of it's parts. i can't say i ever came close
to emulating this monstrous masterpiece, but the aesthetic on the song
of the day is ultimately derived from this source (as well as halo 9).
(relevant tracks: medicated to the one i love, jesus gets fucked on robitussin, symphony 1, curious george, others)
and, this is where i put my obligatory influenced by post for the day, due to the track being a remix of this one. it was done for a fan comp on the glu list way back in the day and meant to take the track in a more experimental direction.
i got a very terse email from david reilly a few weeks or months later:
"i am aware of what you did to my song."
i'm not sure if we all got that kind of personal response or not. to a point, i can understand his revulsion. despite the nature of the backwards section, evocative or not, this is a pretty personal track, and i went to town with it in ways that i can understand a negative reaction to.
that's partly why i speak of the track, today, as influenced by this one, rather than a remix of it. and, that's actually closer to the truth. it's really barely recognizable.
but, fans of 90s nin remixes and/or the weirder reaches of experimental trip-hop might get something out of it.
as for the track itself, i found something strangely subversive about it. there's about twenty minutes of a minimal bass beats that follows the version on record, climaxing in a wash of noise. i don't really understand addiction, but the picture he paints (especially in the context of the full track, and the state of mind that the ambient bass section represents) is pretty distressing and hard not to react to.
