Pretty much the only thing I can enjoy by these guys, their screaming is so misplaced in more or less all of their songs, but at least their guitarist knows what's up. Just a gimmicky/boring Thursday-type post hardcore band with more poppyness really. Then I guess they decided to do a southern rock style? Again more astoundingly generic music. But this is nice.
@DanCiTi I really reallllly don't see how you can call HIL generic, I respect your opinion im not here to bash you and say you're a failure at life because you don't agree with me. I just really don't see how you can say HIL is generic
Though all their stuff is good in its own way, the other three releases don't touch I am Hollywood. The intro and outro of this song reminds me so much of the music the Weather Channel plays.
I am 43 years old, and I will tell you these guys rock. Love thier diversity and the way they find thier own sound. No copy cats. If you love modern rock how can you not love their sound? Keep it up guys.

there has to be a closer country where love can live near me, i've got to find it because right now i'm not seeing clearly, there's someone knocking on my door, no one lives here anymore..
this is just genuine musical talent, it flows well. his screaming parts are great when juxtaposed against the rest of the song, it just all works, and works well. He Is Legend really is genuinely talented i think.
I don't think so, since they decided to change in style. In my opinion, it doesn't come close to their old stuff, despite their great talent and creativity. Their newer style is much more ordinarily southern; his voice changed dramatically, almost to the point where you couldn't recognize it; and the music became a little trashier. Nothing like 'I Am Hollywood'. If they were gonna change so drastically, I wish they would've at least changed their name, and not ruin what used to be He Is Legend.
@respontaneous depends on what you enjoy, they have changed quite a bit since their original recordings, i have been listening since their days as 'the uriah omen' and have grown to appreciate all of their music, the newest one took a few listens to like but its pretty addictive

@thepalmetto lol fair enough, bit harsh but it's your opinion, i think every band has 1 or 2 songs that becomes a benchmark for every other song they release, in my opinion this was one, but if they're writing what they like you know it's their dream they're livin, so i guess im just rambling about shit, i forgot what i was gonna type..damn lol, i guess it's up to the fans of their music at the end of the day, no one likes every single vegetable, so they can't like everything they hear either.
@respontaneous It's just how it is, I suppose. I understand not everyone has the same tastes, artists change, etc etc and all that jazz... I just live in this fantasy world in my head where all my favorite bands are epitomized by what I liked the most about them. The only artist I truly feel has changed with the times (over two decades and 10 albums) and has remained relevant to their fans is Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree.
Backed... it's not really noticeable in their first two albums but He is Legend is definitely some form of alternative rock with a southern vocal edge. If you hear HIL tracks I Am Hollywood and The Widow of Magnolia back to back, you'll hear almost two completely different bands. I can definitely hear a southern rock sound from them. To say that they're metalcore is a bit of a stretch, then again, the words Alternative Rock can mean just about anything these days.
@poophead86 oh god they aren't even close to metalcore! who said that? lol. def some elements of progressive, in my opinion. most bands are hard to define these days anyways. thats why genre wars suck. oh yeah, this song is incredible!
@poophead86 You've got to understand that there are people that don't love music like some do, they don't feel the music or believe it, they just listen. it's sad not everyone appreciates the talent and dedication it takes to be a musician
In the line "There has to be a closer country where love can live near me."
Is it "can" or "can't"? I can hear both in a way... since the line flows through that word and the t could be slurred.
And can't seems to make more sense with the song that he wants somewhere where people don't remember where they met and heartbreak is easy to forget. So wouldn't he want love to not live near him?.
but then again he says "there is no love" so that means he could also want love to live near him.
This band He Is Legend is one of the most incredible bands i've ever listen to. This song in general is one of the best they made. New cd is amazing as well, nothing short of brilliant.
Youre right dallas, but you gotta work on your tone..Its always easy to play a song, but actually playing it really good and getting the tone right? Thats harder ;)
its rock, not santana, cuz they scream, but the i am hollywood cd is not really a consistant genre, it fuses rock hardcore and screamo, but still has distinction from every genre
Same here. I'm actually getting me and my friends to learn it so we can do a little cover of it. It'll be sick if we actually pull it off, I love this song.
its not a difficult song to tell u the truth, just a lot to remember, its like one complete solo, i can play 90 percent of the guitar and all of the bass except the solo, its definately a fun one to play with and copy the style of the notes to write songs
Yeah exactly, I only have bits and pieces memorized right now. It's just a whole solo throughout the entire song lol. My friend's got the easy rhythm part.
ill shit on the face of anyone who hates on HIL.
