If Kim's Voice Was So Shot, Why Didnt They
 
...just do ANOTHER song?!! w/ Thurston on vox? Shit, man!

Yeah, she did sound a bit off. I guess after touring all summer that'll happen.

Oh well, it happens I suppose. Steve and Lee were really rockin' though.

CROATOAN 08.10.2006 12:54 AM

My mom FUCKING HATED IT. She sat there just shocked out of her mind that they were just on national television. She aslo commented on Kim's dancing saying she looked like a 3 year old and was expecting her to start jump roping.

I dont know why they didnt play another song though like you said, hell, I would have taken Incinerate. But in the end, no harm done.

mushmanski57@hotmail.com 08.10.2006 12:56 AM

Croatoan, I guarentee that was what my mom would have said had she seen it.

CROATOAN 08.10.2006 01:01 AM

She also said that she could sing better than that, and my mom knows that she is no singer.

I'll have her listen to Rheena tomorrow but I'll bet money that she still won't like it. But she kindof liked the song itself.

mushmanski57@hotmail.com 08.10.2006 01:04 AM

Have her listen to a few ATL songs, 'Cross The Breeze, and the WM title track. Her voice sounds better on those.

do you care what your mom thinks of SY?
do you think we care???
geez, get a grip...

No and no. I was just trying to discuss the topic and the look on her face was hilarious so I talked about her. No big deal at all...geez.

She did a great job on Reena when she was in Milwaukee, and I don't really like that song.

kill_yr_evol_sister 08.10.2006 01:42 AM

k, we've got like a MILLION threads about this, lol, but oh well.

uhhhm, i KNO they've gotta "promote" thier new stuff, but i still think it would've been cool to play an old song, like when they were on carson daly promoting murrary street, they played 100%, but OH WELL.......kim was a little off, and reena isnt exactly my favorite, but i did like how thurston TRIED to "save" the performance with JUUUUST a little "noise" towards the end, lol.
but still would've like to see an older song played.

TV Apperances are like a cum shot.One and done and thank you very much.I loved the performance on Conin.

Androol 08.10.2006 08:13 AM

if anyone has a link for this video it would be greatly appreciated!

lizzarddd 08.10.2006 08:38 AM

I loved the performance also,
I never knew Thurston was that tall, looks as if hes a little bigger if not the same as Conan, and Conan is huge.

++ I loved kim's dancing, i think i'm going to replay it over and over and learn it so i can go out in the street and make some money doing it.

That's the funniest thing that I've read on this board in a long time... it"s like a line from Pink Flamingo's :)

Ripchord 08.10.2006 09:15 AM

My mom really hates Kim's voice in general so she thought it sucked.
But i agree, her voice was shot for shit.

Molly 08.10.2006 09:16 AM

I think her headset was not working properly. I thought I saw her pointing to it after the song.

CROATOAN 08.10.2006 09:40 AM

That's a possibility, if you can't hear yourself you can't hit the notes so it makes sence.

scott v 08.10.2006 10:03 AM

i think that was what happened, i taped it, and watching it again after Conan thanks the band and shakes hands... you can see kim discussing with thurston (audio at this point is just Conan's house band) what just happened and she 'put her finger to her ear'... that in general is a huge clue in that she couldn't hear herself during the performance, which makes it very very difficult to sing in key and/or hit the notes. its common to see singers in bands do this live as a clue in that they are at the mercy of a soundguy, but when you on television and this happens it generally seems that your fucked at that point... kinda suprising that the sound crew on such a show/network program would boch that up... so don't be quick to blame her.

i don't think the band can do more than a couple takes of a song because eventhough its taped for a national audience it is recorded live w/ a studio audience...

dazedcola 08.10.2006 12:09 PM

I didnt think it was that great of a performance. "reena" is probably one of my least favorite songs on the record the only thing i was impressed with was how steve was able to keep that weird drumbeat at a certain part of the song.
