Topic: Control (Puddle of Mudd song)


  
  Puddle of Mudd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puddle of Mudd is an American post-grunge band, or rather "nu-grunge", some would say.
Like many nu-grunge bands, Puddle of Mudd is frequently accused of being a talentless derivative of the famed Seattle grunge scene's legendary act, Nirvana.
Their song "Control" was the official theme song of WWE's Survivor Series pay-per-view event in November 2001, and their song "Nothing Left to Lose" was the official theme song of WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in January 2004.

 Mesothelioma - Control
Control (others or oneself) or influence skillfully, usually to one's advantage; "She manipulates her boss"; "She is a very controlling mother and doesn't let her children grow up"; "The teacher knew how to keep the class in line"; "she keeps in line".
The control key does not generate any character on its own but most modern keyboards and operating systems allow a program to tell whether each of the individual keys on the keyboard (including modifier keys) is pressed at any time.
Control characters mostly have some kind of "non-printing" effect on the output such as ringing the bell (Control-G) or advancing to the next line (Control-J).

Possibly the epitome of the mainstreams attempt to co-opt alternative rock was in 1994 when the song "Inside", written by producer Peter Lawlor, was used in a Levis (A popular brand of jeans) commercial.
In order to release the song as a single, a grunge band called Stiltskin were manufactured and the song went to number 1 on the UK (A monarchy in northwestern Europe occupying most of the British Isles; divided into England and Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland) singles chart.
Alternative rock songs began turning up on the sountracks to major Hollywood (The film industry of the United States) blockbusters and teen-centric TV shows such as My So-called Life (additional info and facts about My So-called Life).

Puddle of Mudd was technically on the map years ago when Wes Scantlin gave Limp Bizkit (the no longer playing metal/wannabe rap band) front man, Fred Durst, a demo tape of what Puddle of Mudd had to offer at the second Family Values Tour.
The song is about how people are always not what they seem and how they can bring lots of pain, and in the chorus, Scantlin releases all the anger and emotions he’s feeling about all the suffering he’s going through.
The song is mid to up-tempo (again…) and the pitch of the song is kind of high (the high-pitched guitar plays a major role in the song).

 Amazon.com: Come Clean [EXPLICIT LYRICS]: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Puddle of Mudd almost never deviate from their hard-soft-hard-soft-soft-hard and intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-outro song structure, so the songs become very predictable and repetitive.
The only song that breaks the monotony is the acoustic album closer, "P-ss It All Away"; but an entirely acoustic song at the end of an album isn't exactly a new concept, either.
If Puddle of Mudd were more talented or made more catchy songs, nobody would care that they're a Nirvana imitation, and that every one of their songs follow the same overused structure.

 InternetEd Reviews: Puddle Of Mudd- Come Clean   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The first song on the record is the popular "Control," which is dominated by thick distorted guitar riffs and Wesley Reid Scantlin's grungy vocals, and the next song, titled "Drift And Die" sounds like a mixture of Silverchair and Alice In Chains.
For a change, "She Hates Me" offers a lighter alternative flavor, though it is not a very impressive song, while "Never Change" has a catchy vocal and guitar sound and an interesting rhythm.
In the end, Puddle Of Mudd is just another boring group that made it big emulating the original bands that inspired them.

"Control" is sultry, straightforward, and groovy with Wes Scantlin's vocal stylings being a dead ringer for Scott Weiland at some points, and even little touches of Tim Narducci from Systematic and Henry Font of Pist On in others.

From Limp Bizkit's frontman Fred Durst's new label comes Kansas City's Puddle Of Mudd.
In this rising era of nu-metal acts, Puddle Of Mudd's first release Come Clean is a very unique one.
Combination of power rock songs like "Control" (their first smash hit) and "Blurry" (perhaps a new single) and power ballads like "Drift and Die" and "Never Change" make this more of an "alternative, grunge, 1994 rock 'n' roll" sounding album rather than nu-metal, rap-rock stuff.
