Dear Jimmy Kimmel. Do not, I repeat DO NOT apologize for anything!

I hope Jimmy goes all out now and has even more bands you wouldn't expect to see on National TV. Next up Slaughter To Prevail, Lorona Shore,

​@@ericmannistu3063 do you even have to ask? Parents getting upset about nothing all to "protect" their kids from anything that's different from the mind numbing and inconsequential pop that networks USUALLY want to push people aggressively towards. To be fair, Jimmy has had people like Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga on who he also talks to. God forbid those easily offended could just.. change the channel.

[@sweezlesquee]

I saw slipknot on kimmel in 2019 to support their new album, and as a late 30 year old I got into slipknot right then and there. I hadnt ever given them a chance as I had moved into underground music when they came out. I listened to slipknot's entire discography on repeat all day at work for a month straight after that. Metal used to be on late night all the time in the 90's and 00's, thats how i learned about a crap load of music that I love. How has the world gotten so sensitive to metal all of a sudden this decade?

Poppy’s scream during the breakdown either live or studio is my favorite female unclean vocal of all time. It hits so hard. Knocked Loose made a money decision to feature her on this song.

[@eggumusgd8907]

She’s definitely my favourite female vocalist in metal

[@SongwritingDeconstructed]

i described it as the primal scream of a mother who just lost their child. It's bloodcurdling

[@devilkillerthemonarchofhop7943]

Poppy reached out to Knocked Loose for the collab.

[@TheBrandonnnn]

Idk, even Poppys own screams have been better (breakdown of theyre all around us.) Its a good scream, though. But I'd say its hard to top Alma from For I am King or Tati from Jinjer, personally

[@SongwritingDeconstructed]

@@TheBrandonnnn she's leaning more into using her chest register in clean singing (New Way Out is a good example) but I can hear false cord in her screams now. And I think the reason a lot of people didn't like her screams/thought they were no good & bad technique, is in part bc of other much-vaunted female vocalists who go DEEP with theirs. We're just not used to hearing it with such a high vocal placement. Made her a perfect match with Bryan though!
