The Protomen - "The Will Of One" Live In Nashville

[@nastyrex4302]

I was at a Between the Buried and Me show just shooting the shit with a dude. We got into covers and i told him The Protomen did the best Queen covers. He thanked me. Turns out he was the Protomen's drummer

I am so thankful that their cover of "In the Air Tonight" was in Cobra Kai... it makes it so much easier to talk about this band with people... because that is all I want to do for the rest of the week whenever I listen to the Protomen.

The one time I wake up early, at around 6:30 in the morning in my time zone, I'm GRACIOUSLY rewarded with this and the amazing news via email (I honestly check specifically Protomen-marked emails, everything else is a lower priority for me) and after reading the amazing European Tour news I wish I could join to witness, I rushed straight here at nearly light speed. This is proof that there ARE heroes left in man. Thank you yet again, and I wish you well on the tour, albums, and documentary!! Please keep kicking ass!

I think I've finally realized what his voice reminds me of. His voice is what happens when you take Freddie Mercury (apt, given how much they cover Queen and how he nails it every time) mix his voice with Alan Vega. You get Vega's croon with Freddie's power and high notes!

[@davisdf3064]

I 100% agree, his voice is great, in fact, the whole band also seems very very skilled, their songs are really good too! If there's a band that i hope it explodes with popularity like Ghost did, it's these guys, their work is awesome!

I hope to see you in concert again soon. I still have my poster with all of your signatures as well as the patches and lighters I bought. Light up the Night.
