Title: Can you see the guys rapping?
Post by Eva on Jan 29th, 2005, 4:49pm
lol!  i've been listening to a lot of Linkin Park thanks to my daughter and with a new album coming out... i got to thinking... and started lmao... can you envision John and Robby adding some rap to their tunes? hmmm...  :yo: ... :thinkin:  i'd get a bang out of it, but it'd be pretty damn funny! have any of you thought of mixing up goo with other genres or am i way bored? and i'm talking really noticable mixes.

Hey there Eva, I don't think we've spoken yet. I'm Lea, I'm pretty new here. Awesome board by the way  ;)

Rapping goos...lol that's pretty funny. I would think that Robby would be able to pull it off better than John...John doesn't seem like a rapping kinda guy. Not that Robby DOES, I just think if it came down to it he'd be the more convincing of the two.

As for other genres...I'd like to see the Goos go back to their roots a bit, towards the sort of punkier sound they had on earlier albums  ;D

hey Lea... welcome to the boards  :D

ok... Robby... lol... i see him standing there screaming raps   :-/  John's just too cool or something. now Mike... hmm..   :thinkin:

John's not 'too cool', lol he's not cool ENOUGH...

He doesn't strike me as being very 'street', if that makes any sense.

And as a bass player Robby obviously has to have a great sense of rhythm, which has gotta help when you're rapping...

And I don't think I've ever even heard Mike SPEAK. :-/ *points at name* I live in the land of Goolessness, so my chances to see the guys in any capacity are fairly limited. So I can't really comment on Mike's suitability as a rapper, haha.

It would be hysterical. I don't think I could take them seriously if they did  :hahaha:

I agree with you Lea. I just don't think they're "street" enough.

I know I'm gonna get hate comments for this but I could see them mixing with country easier than rap *ducks head from flying objects*  ;)

ya know, i've always thought of What A Scene as the Goo's version of rap because he speaks more than he sings in the verses.  i've always called this song "The Rzeznik Rap", but i'm a dork like that. . . ;D

You both have an excellent point. I've never looked at it like that. :thinkin: And, that's one of my favorites off of Gutterflower. I always wished they would have released that.

I always thought of "Only one" as a rap song. John did an amazing john too. "What a scene" is kinda rappish, kinda. I think the goos should do more rap becuz rap is really cool, if done right and I think the goos do it right. Just don't get all fake and hip hop like alot of ppl, such as Carson Daley and yo yo wurd up.

Yo, Eva...back away from the Linkin Park, LOL.

No, I can't imagine the Goo's rapping.  ::)

It's like back when they had that Monk music, it was considered cool, but ya know, I don't think I'd want to hear that mixed in with my GGD songs either. Ohh-aaahhh-eeh-aahh-ooh-aaaa.

That's okay.
You were probably gonna tell me to log the hell off. I think I forgot to log out & it looks like I've been here all day & night. Jeesh.

Laughs at the idea of Mike rapping...
