the Capt Morgan Masturbation Hour

We really should get you to listen to some of Pain of Salvation songs from the Road Salt albums era. It's not most hardcore prog fans favorite, because it is barely prog in a sense - songs are short, no crazy transitions, no long guitar solos. A very laid back, early rock and blues feel. Less theatrics, no actual full-album story concept (gasp!). Still great music and raw energy (or quiet despair).

All of the "In the passing light of day" album deals with Daniel's near death experience when he was hospitalized with flesh eating bacteria in his back - a sudden infection from a small wound quickly became life threatening - to the point of the doctors giving him a 50/50 chance of surviving each day for weeks, with multiple surgeries excising infected tissues, then months more in recovery. This song is the Angry stage, where he can't stand the platitudes his visitors tell him (the "living" to the "not dead") while he is lying in bed near death even though he is just 40 years old and has no business being there. He is also angry at God, while simultaneously asking for His intervention to "lick him clean" in a weirdly sexual way. On interviews Daniel said that taking a shower was extremely painful and he dreaded it, though obviously necessary. So that's probably why he is using the trope of "crying in the shower" and playing with it lyrically. Personally, I think this whole album is the best of their catalogue. Not as experimental, nor as complex musically - just raw, emotional, and extremely honest journey of a man facing his mortality and potentially imminent death. Probably one of the best lyrics of any album ever; part poetry, part story telling, always genuine.

Oh wow. As the person who submitted ICON, I *never* noticed the similarities between it and Tongue of God until you pointed them out. But you're right, there are some notable parallels going on. And the link/callback makes complete sense, since they're both coming from a downtrodden, introspective, hopeless perspective, without sounding the exact same. This just made me appreciate both of them more lmao.

45:50 It's good; it's my least favorite from the record minus the filler track, but the opening riff is one of my all-time favorite Opeth riffs, and I still come back to this song from time to time. I think it meanders a bit too much, becomes directionless in the second half, and attempts to offset it by cramming in a bunch of unrelated parts, and suddenly ends. As you said, it's disconnected. I always felt that the song was either rushed or incomplete. All the segments are good, tho Akerfeldt said in an interview that this was his least favorite song he's ever composed. I can't entirely agree, but I can see why. Tongue of God is also baller; In The Passing Light of Day is an awesome record I do like the Nevermore song too; I only like the bands guitarwork tbh; I think many people share the same sentiment

Also the lyrics "I die in the shower, I live in the bed, I cry in the shower, I scream in my head" he was living in the hospital and I'm sure taking a shower was probably very painful

The PoS song you were referring to is ICON... It's actually on the album after this one but it does have callbacks to this song. They tend to do callbacks from other albums a lot in their music

5,2/3,4...1 (and 1 was still a good song) =GREAT set!

5,2/3,4...1 (and 1 was still a good song) = GREAT set!

You beat the solo rhythm of my heart 😢

So it's true that, just like chimps, researchers have found that Ohio State alum CAN work with rudimentary tools such as sticks.😂 Hi Cap, but seriously, nice drumming lol.

Great set Nick. Hope u do another soon. We definitely need to exchange notes some day on Doom/Melancholic bands lol.

Overall, whether it's a default or not, I think I have (maybe along with Adrian) one of the most diverse, ecclectic tastes in music within the community ha ha

Funny how Pain of Salvation divides everyone's opinion within the community. Always polarising. A few years ago, I was mesmerised by the song played live with a powerful extended outro.

I'm glad you enjoyed Osada Vida's song, it ticks a lot of boxes I like in progressive (non metal) music.

Cap needs to cut the keyboardist some slack. If there is any instrument that's hard to make sound cool it'd be a keyboard lol. I enjoyed it Colin. It does sound very Symphony X, but it sounds like the era of SX that I tend to enjoy more. So while I am not going to run immediately and consume everything I can about this band. I did like them and wouldn't mind hearing more. Sorry I missed the live stream.

come on Colin, got to comment on your own video! lol

Marco is why I like Nightwish. Not sure I will like it without him.

Strange as it may seem 😁, Opeth definitely wins this set. To be honest, I didn't care for any of the other ones. Heck, not even Einar's. The recently released track (Like a Sunken Ship) from Leprous' upcoming album however, is really good, IMO. Back to Opeth... if Beneath the Mire is going to be replaced I hope he'll pick 🤞🏻the recently released track (S1) from their upcoming album (The Last Will and Testament). Oct. 11 release date. Woohoo!!

God, Einar’s solo album is so good. I haven’t listened to it in a while and this song is hitting me hard.

I see Pain of Salvation, I click within seconds. There’s another song on this album that I’ve been wanting to submit very badly - figuring out the rest of the setlist is where the complication comes in lmao. Also, I love how genuinely secure you are in your opinions. If there were a song playing that I was hearing for the first time that I was really liking, but I had a chat of people in front of me shitting on it, my experience would definitely be negatively affected, whether I agreed with them or not.

bro the 2nd half of Kingdom of Loss rips what's going on with these people

Wow! Please next do Bleed by Messhugah or Stabwound by Necrophagist.

MGTOW

they should have hired you decades ago

i see that you're a rip off artist yourself; cover Master's Apprentices next

It looks like you had a lot of fun with this video. I also don't understand why you only analyzed one Marillion song. There are live performances by the band in which H shows another facet of his talent: acting, miming, role-playing... In addition to singing... That's how he draws us into his world at every concert. Why not check out The Invisible Man or The Great Escape?

You guys sound good! KZbin randomly recommended this and I'm glad it did :)

Punk and Indie as two of the worst genres EVER?? What the fuck?

Divided multitude is Norwegian, NOT from the US

Nice!

Great job dude! You nailed that! You look very handsome too. You can tell this is in your younger days.

Cap slappin some skins

Paying attention would help processing their music.

descending's length is perfect

All hail the YT Algorithm. May it's glory and blessing shine upon us all

Descending Lyrics: Free fall through our midnight This epilogue of our own fable Heedless in our slumber Floating nescient we Free fall through this boundlessness This madness Of our own making Falling isn't flying Floating isn't infinite Come, our end, suddenly All hail our lethargy Concede suddenly To the quickened dissolution Pray we mitigate the ruin Calling all to arms and order Drifting through this boundlessness This madness of our own making Sound our dire reveille Rouse all from our apathy Lest we Cease to be Stir us from our Wanton slumber Mitigate our ruin Call us all to arms and order Sound the dread alarm Through our primal body Sound the reveille To be or not to be Rise Stay the grand finale Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue One drive to stay alive It's elementary Muster every fiber Mobilize Stay alive Stir us from our Wanton slumber Mitigate our ruin Call us all to arms and order

6 (mind bending stuff), 2 (holy amazeballs), 4 (*WeeeeeWoooooWeeeeeWoooooWeeeeeWooooo*), 1 (solid, to the point, competent), 5 (cool, well composed and produced, a bit too poppy for me), 3 (was digging it but everytime the chorus hit it lost me)

Adrian will decide on the theme for the song winners. Everything is paid for so send your stuff into Cap whenever you're ready 👍

Evergrey is no joke. "Mark of the Triangle" is their best song

Wish you would judge the song on its own merits and not judging it on how it compares to Change of Seasons. Nothing compares to COS, but this tune is epic on its own

"paravarium ​​symphony x is one of the weirdest bands ever with their output and feeling like they care much" Could you rephrase somehow so, that non-native speaker would understand, because I didn't gtet your point at all. "wierdest" in what?

Autumn when you listen while looking at the album cover, it’s a weird state of peacefulness but feeling small and thoughtful. (cuz of the giant mountain.)

Even though Cap didn't really love any of the songs I think this was a great set because it brought different perspectives on how each person approaches their workouts. Scott is more into heavy breakdowns to pump him up right when you are going into a set. Adrian is all about that ready to throw down mentality. Ryan just picked something he thinks goes hard, since he does not really work out lmao. Colin’s pick has more of an active listening quality to it, maybe he wants to have something to enjoy while he rests between sets but still keeps him pumped. Me? I need to lock in and stay locked in, so a steady repetitive groove does the trick!

Through the Eyes of the Dead started in 2001 and they have always been about as raw as it gets when it comes to energy and just great guitar riffage, solos, and grooves. Yes they have blast beats but make up for it with an abundance of breakdowns and just overall great musicianship

Another workout song

Dude your reaction to Arbiter is still one of my favorites ever

It's been Karmanjakah's fate to show up on the channel for a while lol.. the last Hodgepodge i was going to do their song instead of Anciients but Scott sold me on waiting lol

Thanks for everyone who showed up. Just wanted to show some love to this community. Sorry I couldn't do a song for everyone, but if I do this again you can rest assured I'll pick 5 new people lol.
