Impressive.

Sorry, did not like this. Not because of musicianship, or production qualities, ect but because these two songs have vastly different meanings, and the attempt just comes off as trying very hard to mash these together so hard that you end up breaking both as a result. I like both songs separately, however, as i'm not really a fan of most covers to begin with, taking a song about religious indoctrination, childhood fear, and uncertainty about the unknown, and gluing it onto a song about hard times and making your own way, just makes a frankensong with no meaning for existing.I'd really appreciate an explanation of what these two songs have to do with one another, other than being really trendy, really popular songs, from the same time period.

*promote

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, January 9th, 2011 2:26pm PST - promote requested by dag.

Meh, I find the two songs just clash far too much with each other, there's no 'gel' in there for me.

Nothing to do with lyrics, just musically, they don't fit.

*metal

Adding video to channels (Metal) - requested by ant.

As a former 13 year old girl and not a lover of the metal, this is now my favorite metal song.

I love the Sugar! I've been a fan since their album first dropped. I can't believe they haven't been sifted before.

Contrast is the whole point of a good mashup, detheter and spoco. It's pithy.

WORD!

I love these guys. It is a great album.

Contrast and Gelling is the whole point... not just one song that then stops for a bit of another song, then continues, which is pretty much what happens here. Just every now and again you get a bit of Enter the Sandman thrown in that really grates.

I have to disagree, works for me.>> ^spoco2:

mmm still did not like, contrast be damned. to each their own? I prefer to have meaning behind the songs I listen to, personally. Like, if you are going to cover a song, it should have meaning to you, and that is why you do it, and since these songs have vastly different meanings, I find this to be musically dishonest. My critique of their choice standing on trendiness and popularity rather then depth and meaning is very much what is wrong with the music industry nowadays. But don't take my word for it, i'm just a lowly sound engineer, local music promoter, and lifelong musician.

You had it right at the beginning of your comment, but by the end of it it looks like your forgot what you just wrote.

Meaning be damned, this is fun and funny. They play well and the singer's voice is top-notch. Shush now and rock out.

This one is even better, I think. That's it - I'm buying their album:

WELL! while we are trotting out our pedigrees, I'm just a lowly Grammy nominated sound engineer and you CAN take my word... not everything needs to "speak to me" or "touch my soul" sometimes it just makes me happy.

If your music doesn't need to speak to you, then we have nothing more to discuss.

As for this comment that I started out well then forgot what I said, I started out allowing him his own personal opinion, and then I stated my own, as well as the source of my perspective.

Unless it's hip hop, my music usually sings to me.

out of curiosity: what were you nominated for?

Best Historical Recording: "Poetry on Record: 98 Poets Read Their Work (1888-2006)," Rebekah Presson Mosby, compilation producer; Randy Perry, mastering engineer (various artists)

Sexy stuff eh?! I mainly master music, but my one grammy nod comes for a spoken word album ::rolls eyes::>> ^lwi:

@dag : YES. Now that is a good mashup! There, the two songs FLOW into each other, they make a cohesive whole. I really like that one
