New weekly post!! Song Of The Week #1: Chevelle: Fizgig

Hey guys. So I was thinking about this blog earlier and thinking. "Damn there's no way I have enough to say to post on it all of the time. Well I came up with an idea :D Since my blog is going to be music based  I'm going to share one of my favorite songs with you guys once a week. So I hope you guys love rock music cuz I know I do :] None of that rap crap :p A wise man once told me; "Life is like a box of candy, you gotta throw away the rappers" haha anyway. So if I don't forget (which I probably will sometimes) I will post a new song on here once a week starting today. So probably every Thursday. So without further ado, here is my first ever Song Of The Week :]



I thought since it's my first Song Of The Week I might as well do a song from my favorite band EVER. Chevelle :]
This is a very talented band that you should all listen to. They are my favorite band for a reason, THEY FRIGGIN ROCK! haha They have six studio albums, two live CDs, and one greatest hits CD (which they call "A Collection Of Favorites" So they have plenty of music to choose from. So please go check them out, they really are worth listening to.
So I picked a song that is not on one of their normal albums but it was released on their greatest hits album. It was a promotional thing, and I think it worked haha. It's the only song on the CD that was previously unreleased. And it came out last year, so it's relativily new. The song itself is very different for Chevelle. It has a very Toolish vibe to it which brings me back to Chevelle's first CD before they developed their own sound. And don't reject the song because of the lyrics because they are VERY odd. (you will see what I mean) The way Pete Loeffler writes his songs is in almost 100% metaphors. Pretty much every song is just an extended metaphor in itself. He is a really smart guy. So it really does have a really deep meaning to it. But this song is about as odd as it gets for them. Anyways I really do love this song, it has an extremely catchy riff and an awesome melodic sound. So please enjoy and listen to more Chevelle cuz they friggin kick ass :D

A taste of The Rev :D

This is his amazing drumming and all of the vocals you hear are him. Listen to the full song it is amazing :D

"The Rev"

James Owen "The Reverend" Sullivan. He is one of my three idols. He was an absolutely AMAZING musician. He was best known for being the drummer of the Thrash Metal band Avenged Sevenfold. Which is my second favorite band ever :D He didn't only write the drums for A7X he wrote a lot of the songs himself, he has background vocals on many of their songs, he wrote some guitar riffs, and he wrote all of the piano for them. He truely was a musical genious. RIP Jimmy. You were, are and always will be my idol.
