I don’t feel/believe a word they say in their lyrics, and when Griff addresses the crowd or when they do interviews it’s comical. I like there to be a sense of danger in my metal, but that’s just me. I’ll give you one thing though; they play their instruments well.

    I got turned onto slipknot around 1999-2000 with self title. From there and Iowa was a great time during those days. The knot is still good but it is not the same after the 3rd album. When I heard the first Vended song, I was completely stoked. I felt some of the vibes and energy that I felt when I first picked up Slipknot. Feelings that I haven't felt in years and it took me back to those times. Vended is definitely a great band and I am glad they come onto the scene.

Personally what I find annoying is that so many kids of these famous Rockstars benefit from nepotism and only get the attention they're getting because of their connections, yet many people act like they're where they are based on merit. In today's day in age even if a rock band was extremely good, they aren't really going to find success or even get mainstream attention like that. Unless they have some sort of connections.

It's just amazing to me that they've recently had far more developers involved with the game than ever before and the games blow. To me, it's unplayable. The micro transactions are also ridiculous. I liked it when you paid for everything up front - if you wanted to. I liked the idea of COD MW3: Elite that gave you all kinds of stats, heat maps, weapon guides, strategy, special entertainment (like the Friday Night Fights show) and other perks for an optional fee up front. It really made you want to play the game. There was also no skill based match making.

      Would ya you though? Plus you can’t deny they are talented and they are putting in the work. Constantly traveling, driving a van, unloading and loading their own gear. Plus they practiced for over 3 years before they even got on a real stage. This wasn’t over night my guy.

    So many other bands out there are better and deserve the recognition and im not trying to hate on them but if it wasnt for there dads they'd be quite unknown but when you have who they have as parents they easily got there foot in the door with having to grind for it but they've been touring there asses off so i give them that but seem and sound like a bland Slipknot cover bandish. A lil too cocky for how good they are to talking about encores etc lol they are generic and have a bland sound thats nothing special whatsoever.
