LIZARDKING/RAZOR 1911
³Comments From the studio musician,
Andreas Stenhager:
¹
When I heard the first tune from this
guy, called 'Desert Dawn' (from
'Memorial Songs 2'/Diesel), I found
the style very own, as if he had
worked it all out by himself. 'Desert
Dawn' had a very nice melody, and even
though the drums are a little bit too
soft for the general sound, he manages
to keep my attention all through the
song.
Then I heard the rest of the tunes,
and I found them being copies of
Desert Dawn(or vice versa). What
strikes me is his general knowledge of
taking the right chords, but also that
he throws away the main idea of his
songs by putting the same
leadinstrument to them every time.
The bassline is also very much alike
in the different songs, although that
doesn't disturb me as much as the
leads. Maybe he uses the
cutcommando(if there is one?) too
often when changing between
notes/samples. It tends to sound a
bit unnatural and computerized in a
way that keeps me wondering why such a
talented guy like this don't ever
change.
Actually, there is some songs that are
not as Lizardking-erized, like Tango
¶Love Song, and I think he manages to
fullfil the mainidea good, maybe
because he doesn't use the
'woaaa'-sound.
As already stated, Lizardking could be
better if he wasn't so afraid of
searching for new ways of expanding
his musical views. I am sure that he
could if he really tried.
An average musician due to the lack of
variation, but then again, if this is
popular and if you're not intrested in
inner satisfaction,why bother changing
it?
³Diesel's comment:
¹This is a good friend to me, so I'll
try to be as objective I possibly can.
Lizardking is generally known as the
'wacka-wacka'-guy, who loves 'A0f' and
Woooooaaaa-sounds, but it has taken
him far up the charts. He is more
than aware of his reputation, so on
Memorial Songs #2, there is partly a
new Lizardking. He has also made a CD
together with D-luxe and a DAT-tape
together with Mantronix. Go ahead and
buy it, it's worth it!
