Good for King. He needs it. You need a band to do this. Your not stopping him unless he wants to stop. He didn't want to throw in the towel. Kerry King is a OG.
They sound great. Still don't understand why KK just doesn't get Toms approval and just go on as SLAYER? Other bands continue on with no original members.
OH WOW.... I grew up in the 90s & was raised with this band omg!! I I'm old now and particularly this album was front & center for me. So here's the TWIST!!! Now I know what Maynard & many other groups was trying to TELL US, in short when they Tell us that they sell there soul to the Devil they aren't shitting us people. It's all in there lyrics. Most bands regret it after a few years of fame, That is very very clear here in 2024. Wake up do your research people. All rock bands tells us(lyrics)the truth. Watch our for white magic also
I really tried giving Mushroomhead a chance over the last two decades+, they just aren't a good band. And I'm not comparing them to Slipknot when I say that, because I know how it goes, I am looking at just them and what they have given us. Slipknot isn't the only band that wears masks and has imagery other than the music. Everything a band does and presents is a representation of who they are and what they are saying, so what you see and what you hear is what the are. Yes of course there are some cool things. The water drums are bad ass. I seem them use blacklight colored water or something during dark shows on the drums, it's such an awesome effect. The players are talented players, but I can only think of a couple of riffs off hand that sounded cool. Most of the music kind of just drags on, nothing really catches your ear making you want to listen to it over and over. I'm sure a few people really love it, but I know most people don't. The stage presence is really awkward, and the masks are (I will compare them to Slipknot here) just not really good. Mid-quality and poorly executed. I'm not trying to come off as craping on them, they seem like nice guys, but there is a reason they never found much success, and I'm sure there is a reason why the members keep changing. They can't afford to stay in the band.
I mean Roadrunner Records approached them first but they declined because they were making a lot of money and so they went on to sign Slipknot instead.
