This was such a great time for music. This album style was the perfect mesh of funky rap/metal. He'd Pe's first album, Sugar Ray's first album, Snot's first and only. Reveille and Crazy Town somewhat. Mushroomhead and Coal Chamber. I'd be happy if someone tried bringing this style back.
Check out Spineshank - Strictly Diesel Earth Crisis - Breed The Killers Vision of Disorder - Self Titled Manhole (Band) Downset - Do We Speak...? These were in my CD case back then too
Though I'm happy that Powerman 5000 still goes to this day, it's sad that none of the original members are no longer with the band (except for Spider One, of course). They looked like they had a great time making this music video together.
@@Beckonor Yeah, I remember playing Road Rash 3D and saw that Sugar Ray had several rockin' songs on it. Way different from that commercial garbage they put out.
Thanks Spider for the frequent changes in styles. He don't like to repeat himself, it's one of the reasons Anyone For Doomsday got shelved, it sounded to similar to Revolt said Spider.
I got to meet Jordan (ex PM5K drummer) a couple years ago. awesome guy, you should check out his project "Sons of Jupiter". Also super cool that my uncle played the hand percussion on this album.
Their bass player had some serious chops! what happened on the next albums? lol. I loved funk metal from the 90'd Faith No more, Living Colour, Rage Against The Machine, early Powerman etc.
+billyjoelsux FNM is the best band all time #1.. Living Colour is righteous.. Old PM5K is loaded with flavor and excellent - These opinions all share 1 common trait.. they are opinions..
How does this not have more views? I got this CD with my parents on my 11th birthday, and I'm 21 in a week and I still think it kicks ass. So sad that real rock and roll can't survive these days.
You can't NOT move to this. In the verses AND chorus, but in much different ways. This was the first PM5000 song I heard, and it blew me away! Then I found out Spyder was Rob Zombie's brother, you can kind of hear it in the chorus though. When Spyder yells, he sounds like Rob. The music, the lyrics, THE FEEL, yeah... LOVE THIS SONG!!! 2:21 "You know, Iris..." How many people know where the term "organizized" came from?
FACT: Vevo delivers kickass music videos without any sort of fee. As far as I an tell, they picked up what MTV dropped off with the added option of viewing whatever, whenever. So yeah, I'll take a 16 second ad for that any day
If anybody can find me any current band with a style anywhere near this, give it to me. Otherwise I'll just continue to cry myself to sleep because music isn't anywhere near as inventive as it was 20 years ago.
THE EMPTY SET None of those are any good. Ice Nine Kills is the only one getting any radio play out of those and they kinda suck ... royally. I think the OP was talking more the Zappa-ish funk and just overall saying FU to genres. Even PM5k here lost some of their funk with subsequent albums. The 90’s Rock seemed less scripted, less interfered with by studios, and had a much higher chance of getting avant grade stuff out in the mainstream.
Not bad...though I'm more into the sound they're putting out now. I can see more of the resemblance of his brother Rob and him in this video than at his age now.
I would walk to hell and back for Powerman 5000. I dislike the censorship, but for free music videos I'm alright with it. If I was really worried about the song I would be on a lyric video instead, as most of those aren't censored
I miss old industrial PM5K and Spyder's sayan hair. Although "Destroy what you enjoy" has some good tracks and "Somewhere on the other side of nowhere" heads back to the sci-fi theme that made them famous, you see that it is not spontaneous as it once were.
@slewy123 spider has done many styles. he did boston groov stuff, sci-fi/industrial, rock, punk, pop/rock. he has said in many interviews that one day he might go back to boston style again. he said it depends on how he feel when he writes for the next album. and on the good, the bad, and the ugly album, there are a lot of unreleased boston style songs on it. he didnt have enouh for another album, so he put them with other unreleased songs of different styles.
@Dachandelol Wow, way to read the description. The copyright year says: "(C) 1997" 13 years ago, if math is just as hard as reading the description, for you.
First time I've heard this - forgive me if someone else has said so, but it sure sounds like RATM. Been listening to all of their available songs on here, and I haven't found one I didn't like. PM5K rocks.
Everyone replying to my comment about how this is what Rob would be like if he was calm....I am very much aware that they are brothers -.- So stop replying thinking that I don't already know this. Thank you, enjoy the music.
