Because I\u2019m me and I\u2019ve got stuff to say, and I\u2019m gonna say it. Music now to me, God bless them, new bands, but they sound the same. All new music reminds me of the same fucking thing. There\u2019s nothing separating it, one band from another. It\u2019s, like, one band kinda does something, a hundred bands follow that band, then another band does something, then a hundred bands follow that band and sound just like that fucking band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I was on&nbsp;<strong>Ozzfest<\/strong>&nbsp;2001. So you had&nbsp;<strong>Slipknot<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Manson<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Papa Roach<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Disturbed<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Mudvayne<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Drowning Pool<\/strong>\u2026 Every fucking band, every band I just named, none of them sound the same. None of them. And I think that\u2019s why it was such a special time in music, because everybody was bringing what they were bringing to the table. You had&nbsp;<strong>System Of A Down<\/strong>&nbsp;and shit-tons of bands, man. And all very original and all doing their own thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We were part of that. We were more progressive than a lot of our counterparts from that era. So we were doing our own thing. Just a lot of really good fucking music and a lot of people really digging into what they were. Nobody was fucking following somebody else. We just didn\u2019t see a lot of that. A couple bands here and there, maybe, you know what I mean? But for the most part, bands were doing their own thing and really pushing the boundaries, really challenging the listener. And that\u2019s what music\u2019s all about, right? It\u2019s individuality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: The PRP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mudvayneofficial.com\/\">MuDvAyNe \u2013 AUSTRALIA 2024 (mudvayneofficial.com)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent interview conducted by\u00a0The Underground Australia\u00a0found\u00a0Mudvayne\/HELLYEAH\u00a0vocalist\u00a0Chad Gray\u00a0unloading on &#8220;the lack of individuality in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109074,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=109072"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109072\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109078,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109072\/revisions\/109078"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/109074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=109072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=109072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=109072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
