You have a very different vocal style to David, but they both sound fucking incredible on the song. I wish more big names in the scene covered other people's songs.
I got about 5 minutes in before making this comment… Man, you’re fucking sick. If you wanna do something? Do it. Who cares how “big” you are in the scene? At the end of the day we are all people. With thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I can definitely say that there are some of us here who care. Hell, that’s how I ended up here. Hopped on your channel to check out the new cover and saw the podcast, chose that instead. Just keep being you man, stay heavy and stay kind. P.S. I recently came to see you guys on the “Suffer Forever” tour in Philadelphia, and I have to say your guys performance was probably the best of the night (everyone did awesome, but seeing you guys was special for me) I remember being slightly drunk and honestly a bit nervous (we love social anxiety) to come up and talk to you. I eventually asked to have y’all sign an Angelmaker flag. Moral of the story, even though we are strangers who have met in passing… I can guarantee at least someone cares to hear you out. I hope to see you and the crew again soon ❤ Edit: After watching all the way through, I can definitely say I relate to you a lot. It’s a battle man, being hard on yourself is uncontrollable sometimes but we learn to spit on our hands and hoist the black flag. Seeing our achievements is way more important. Vocals even too being relatable. I’ve had a lot of instances where I want to do vocals and make music with friends but get upset about what I can’t do, instead of focusing on what I can. Frustration with finding voice. It goes on. Then I just give up and stop for a while until I’m sparked to do so again. Currently bike riding a lot to help my cardio, and have started to notice a difference coming.
Hey Adam, honestly things are going well for me. Usually Im just filled with anxiety but just dreading doing basic things like work and school for no reason. Never had a bad experience that wasnt my fault there but I still dread it. Anyway Ive had a month to just turn my brain off. Slight weed addiction that Im keeping my eye on as I dont want it to affect my life or anything in it. I think I know when to reign it back. Glad I stopped by - saw your last video but honestly just didnt watch it but Im enjoying this so far (half way through) and I dig the topics youre touching on. Also fuck the people that said your voice is annoying if they were being malicious. If not, Im sure they were just messing around but even those joking comments can mess with you if youre an overthinker like I am. Thank you for the last two AWIP albums as the lyrics and vocals are my favorite parts and this last album had a lot of emotion which I liked. I get choked up a few times from the build up in the tracks. Hope things go better for your family man. We gotta get a pic after I see you guys in detroit at some point. Let me know what sort of food/drink you like and Ill remember to bring you somethin good even if its just sparkling waters or something lmao. Keep podcasting!
Thank you for letting me know how you’re doing bro! The positive words and encouragement go a really long way. I’m proud of the steps you’re taking to take control of your goals. Keep killing it!
Really cool to see that you're able to be lax and vulnerable in a confident way, and just talk about stuff going on. I can tell you're pretty introspective about similar things I find myself on. Working on being a bit more relaxed and stoic about the blunders, and not getting in my own way as much. Glad to see you moving forward and thriving my man, nothing but love over here 🖤
Aside from being addicted to AWIP, I love these videos you put out! It's crazy to hear you say you're scared. You're my motivation to NOT be scared. I think about the video for God Killer. It's also comforting knowing other people worry about the same crazy crap I do and I don't feel weird about it. Lol We're here for each other brother. Screw the haters, and surround yourself with good people. ❤️💪
I’ve seen your name featured on stuff and always wondered “who is Adam Mercer”. Then I realized I’ve been listening to your vocals for years and didn’t even realize. This video is great man. I love the honest talk. Please share workouts if you’re willing to.
I cannot WAIT to see you in Denver, I'd love to meet the whole band too you all are amazing btw a comment that gets me by everytime, staying motivated...comes from my loved one "what makes you happy, you should continue to do, don't let anyone including me keep you from that"
