The relevance here might be lost on non-Metal-fans, but this Youtube vid
hilariously underlines the current situation for a once-respected Canuck
Death Metal turned Emo band called Cryptopsy...
Before you watch, here is some backstory...
Cryptopsy were much respected for their supreme playing technique and
progressive music, until the talented members jumped ship, leaving the
band in the hands of the...Drummer, Flo Monier...He promptly retooled
the outfit to suck the venom of the MTV machine, even getting an Emo
singer on vocals, and a girl keyboard player than does nothing! Egad!
Naturally, the fanbase rebelled, and many turned their back on such
obvious turncoated Emo-ness, seeking a newer and truer Metal fix...
But Flo Monier continued to rant that his was a true musical genius,
and that the fans somehow lacked the savvy to see his corporate Emo
as a new chapter of rock, when it was merely another screamo clone.
With Tony Blair-like tropes, this musical walking pomposity Flo Monier
delivered endless press-conferences and copious self-justifications.
The hubris of this mere drummer astounds an amused Metal scene to this
day, and is the focus of much forum warfare...!
The following video is made by an ex-fan of Cryptopsy, although it is
quite possible to imagine many arrogant jackoff frontmen from any music
scene in the same situation...Enjoy the madness!
