Here’s another band I “discovered” –
which just means I was into them before the mainstream. Can thank MTV’s
Headbanger’s Ball for a hand in that. They were onboard very early on. I also saw
them on the summer 1991 Clash of the Titans tour opening up for Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth.
I’m partial to the Layne Staley era
of the band, but think they’re still pretty solid with the new guy. What they
have in their favor is that (just like Van Halen), the rest of the band harmonizes
with major backing vocals on nearly every song, so no matter who is handling
the lead vocals, it sounds like the band.
Drugs have taken away two of the
founding members, including bassist Mike Starr. So your lesson is don’t do
drugs.
Included in this mixtape is my
Kielbasage enhanced mix for Man in the Box. I took the isolated vocals only
track from Studio Multitracks and laid it over the original song in various
ways. Pretty much a masterpiece. Enjoy.
