Listening Report Ð'- Family Values Tour 98

When I sat down to do a Listening report last night, I started

thinking, "Who am I kidding?". I am never going to push

myself to listen to 15 Jazz CD's in a week and a half, so I

am going to do the remainder of my listening reports on

music that I like to listen to. You may think it defeats the

purpose of listening reports, but that's not true. What these

guys play may sound like heavily distorted noise, and too

much yelling played at way too high of volumes to the

average adult, and honestly, it is. But there is music, and

every day 1000's of kids are trying to teach themselves their

favorite headliners, and that's how we learn to play our

instruments in the first place. So, now that I've convinced

you WHY I am doing this listening report, here is the actual

thing:

The song (the only one by this group) on the CD is

New Skin by Incubus which is really cool, because

to most people it sounds a lot like rap, but to me it is

a really fast-paced alternative music song because

of the actual instrument playing (not featured in the

basic drum tracks of rap music) and the repeated

chorus, which sounds really cool because the

bassist and lead vocals play and sing on a perfect

4th.

The second group on the tour is Orgy. Their biggest

headliner is Blue Monday, which is a really kickass

remake of the David Bowie Original. Its about some

guy who hated Mondays, so he went out and shot a

bunch people, mostly kids I think, at some

convention WAY back in the day. Then David Bowie

wrote a song about it, and it was under a lot of heat.

But now, Orgy made the song HUGE. It is an

amazing song. Orgy has a very unique sound. They

are sort of an Electro-Punk band. They have some

really hardcore guitar riffs, but they also got some

sweet Synth tracks and stuff like that. The best thing

about them, though, has got to be their Vocal

Distortions. They got this cool echo-y noise added

to their voice. Orgy also performs Dissention and

Gender.

The next group is Limp Bizkit. These guys

co-starred
