re: #566 Walter L. Newton

Major fail… bringing up that band… the director in Denver who directed the world premier of my “1984” stage script, used a Skinny Puppy song as the opening underscore at the top of the show… some blubbering speaking in tongues sounding heavy metal song… the singer sounded like he was vomiting, not singing.

Even though the show received decent reviews in the local papers, and a very good review in Variety Magazine, I refuse to even watch the DVD of the show because of that damn song.

The director and I disagreed about most of the underscoring he picked for that show.

hahah that’s Skinny Puppy, all right! it’s experimental industrial music, personally, I love it but it sure isn’t for everyone. :D

Later on, they did actually introduce clean vocals and dialed down the noise and mayhem a bit:

Though by normal standards, it’s still intensely weird and jarring music
