Liked his own comment ☠️ can't wait for my lessons though

@@MadysaunHey, If I don't believe in the e-course who will? lol jokes aside I have this neurotic belief that it helps the algorithm somehow even though it most certainly does not

[@moraatrain]

I think it was Austin Dickey who said that Matt sounds like he could kick anybody's dad's ass. And I think that's the best description.

[@gPudgy]

Fair, and it makes me feel a lil gay, know my place in the pecking order

[@rjvan55]

😂😂^

[@BecksDad93]

It was, he was reacting to the BoomSlang breakdown! 😂😂😂 But yes, you are correct. Best description for Honeycutt

[@humanityrestored6204]

the drummer of kublai khan has said on a podcast that he would like to have an even lesser and more bare bones drum kit. these boys know how to make simplicity slap you in the face and leave with your kidneys. fuckin love this band.

[@ryanscottmcclure]

Matt sounds like a Rottweiler that also happens to be a drill sergeant.

[@carlosmembreno7831]

😂

[@bryceharney5960]

That sounds sorta like Ric Flair.

[@Jacksonnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Common combo in the southern states, so it makes sense

[@jtwasson08]

You know I think its the primal nature in us. Thats what makes it work. I think nik noc said it best "its just angry caveman noises. its what i came here for."

@20:23 Kublai Khan TX does what I want music to do: move me. Physically, emotionally, at its best existentially. All you need is drums and bass to grow big and strong 😉

[@trashcanjoe4902]

Definitely a great example of sometimes less is more. Nothin fancy, not really a whole lot of range, but that sh*t still goes hard.

[@unclephil1547]

I love how he used ‘theory of mind’ for part of his example, shows he can knows what he’s talking about in just about any situation.

[@spencer_andres]

Enjoyed this episode a lot! I can't get enough of this song right now, never really listened to Kublai Khan before or beatdown at all but I'm falling for it. Definitely gonna do a guitar cover!

[@aidan8398]

Mark we need some Boundaries reactions. New album tonight that will definitely be worth checking out.

[@chrisstrohman4131]

THIS.

[@semp223]

This band fucking rules.

[@themightymcb7310]

I'm gonna make a suggestion that's a bit out of your usual wheelhouse. Check out a mathcore band from Philly called Kaonashi. I recommend checking out either an older song called "Why Did You Do It?" or a newer song called "I Hate The Sound of Car Keys". You'll have a lot to talk about for either song, but the first song has more variation in vocal style while the second is heavier musically. Peter is a very unique vocalist and honestly he's an acquired taste, but I personally really like his sound and think his delivery and lyricism fits well with the rest of the band.

[@foulmercy8095]

Love Kaonashi!

[@Natecreek]

Really enjoyed your breakdown of the technique in this one man, top shelf stuff

[@Jens_Roadster]

Kublai Khan TX is just awesome.

[@No20six]

I really want you to react to some Peelingflesh. That vocalist is insane. The sort of whistle tones he create. Awesome stuff and hits like a brick to the face.

[@ryanscottmcclure]

Yoooo, so his voice his around G to G#4. So they tune their guitars to drop G. I wonder if that’s purposefully done.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Gotta be, thats so awesome

[@themightymcb7310]

Their guitars are actually tuned drop G#, not drop G

[@jacobfarias3739]

Busted out a dead on Nathan explosion impression for a sec there 😂

[@TheLaxlaxlax]

When your talking about how they do it I think it comes down to simple is better, alot of bands make songs over complex which can be easier to screw up or sound off. I think they also use a lot of "space" in there songs to create an atmosphere. Imo kublai khan is brilliant and they have genuine musical theory.

[@lupomikti]

22:05 The specific name for that would be nigiri. Sashimi is just a cut of fish, no rice. Not super important but thought I'd answer anyway lol, and because nigiri happens to be my favorite sushi. Rolls are okay, but nigiri is just perfection to me

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Hell yeah you're a fuckin MVP!

@@KardavoxAcademy damn that sucks but completely understandable, they do have a balcony so you could chill up there. But thankfully Matt has love for AZ so they come here a lot.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice dense mix 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽 Good ol Kub. Gotta go listen to the whole thing.

[@classicbananamilk]

kublai khan being the musical equivalent of a sushi dish makes so much sense, i'm stealing that analogy for sure

[@psychocreepr]

Funny enough, there was this guy who worked at a sushi place I would frequent and I ended up running into him at a Kublai Khan TX show

[@MrMotastic]

They went hard as fuck when I saw them play in canberra early this year. Had the whole venue dog barking.

Hxc for life

[@adrienlerequin]

Hi Mark! thanks for the great work you've done thoughout the years on this channel. It helped me a lot with my vocals and screams. I have this question : why does making my voice resonate and vibrate in my mouth makes everything so much easier for my screams? what is happening in my throat when I do that?

[@Chief-Td120]

Seeing them and Sunami on Saturday. It’s gonna be wild

I heard that he eats a bowl of spaghetti and drinks a shit ton of milk before recording vocals

[@TheHammerComesDown]

@@spaceemountain I would imagine this is true. Spaghetti with meatballs for protine and milk hell yeah. I find after a full high calorie meal I can scream a bit longer for recording and have more power to my diaphragm.

Pleaaaaaseeee react to the band Boundaries recent music videos (Scars on a soul) (A pale light lingers) Vocal analysis would be very interesting. I think you would be quite intrigued

[@Veeto]

like ya cut g

[@brandonkane2063]

I love your videos. I am new to vocals. Learning singing before screaming. I’m doing some of my favorite bands. Goo goo dolls. Matchbox 20. Hoobastank. One day I’ll start some screaming and go towards the metal bands I love.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Yo, thank you so much! Take your time on that journey - having a solid singing foundation will definitely help you!

I’m a big oceans ate Alaska fan. Could you do a vocal analysis to a song from theirs ? Sarin or Metamorph would be nice

[@jonahrounsley8375]

you should watch his live performance it seems like its a vocal fry during live

[@rebornls]

20:22 Maybe they take OR add. For example: On their song Theory Of Mind… 2:58 outro riff has what SEEMS to be a simple pattern: [ 0x-0-1 • 1x-1-0x • ] but it changes sightly at 3:06! I’m terrible with describing things I’ve concluded… But, it sounds like the(G#5 is the 0 note) swings in on barely on time. But I want to know if my conclusions are wrong or misguided. Any thoughts?

[@Gwunhar]

Mark doing an impression of the patented Tidus laugh.

[@RemyVorender]

I used to be able to rip lows and highs very well in my younger days, but now that I'm in my mid 40s, I feel like my "vestibular folds" don't flap anymore, so my rips sound dry and lame. Have I lost the ability or did I just forget how?

[@williamwhitaker1101]

Bro how can I get into vocals

[@reddodoragon1279]

»In the dirt « Letting the "dirt" drop and sound more "flattering" like this I think is also a good exercise to relax the diaphragm, beacuse you kinda unintentionally let it literally drop in your body BY RELAXING it. Thats what I think it feels like at least. Let me know what you think :)

[@Swellington_]

@@recluserick you have ears that function correct right? I know it doesn’t sound like “singing” or whatever you wanna call it but do you think anyone can go to a studio and scream in a mic and actually be understandable,reading through the lyrics once or twice while listening to the song and it’s very clear,but what vocalist like him and others in the same genre do is very difficult and isn’t something a lot of people can do and make a good career out of it,maybe it’s not your cup of tea but dude’s a monster
