   !!!MUDVAYNE!!!
!!!MUDVAYNE KICKS ALL OTHER BANDS!!!
(*4:12AM*)I got this off of Ozzfest thanks to my Composition Honors teacher, Ms. Lamont. If you guys want to visit this website, here is the link(*have a shit load of fun everyone*): http://www.ozzfest.com/bio/mudvayne.html
MUDVAYNE
Chad Gray (vocals), Greg Tribbett (guitar), Ryan Martinie (bass), Matt McDonough (drums)

“…better bring it, I’m taking it all…" -- “Determined”

They’ve sold more than two million units worldwide and racked up four RIAA Gold-certified releases. They’ve garnered extensive radio and video airplay and were honored with the first-ever MTV2 Award. They’ve played hundreds of sold-out shows around the world and have been featured in the pages of Rolling Stone, Revolver, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, Blender, Maxim, Spin, Guitar World, USA Today and a myriad of others. They were even written into a pivotal episode of HBO’s smash mafia drama “The Sopranos.” For most artists, such achievements usually mark the summation of an entire career—if they’re lucky.

Mudvayne, however, did all that in just three short years.

Their remarkable story continues with LOST AND FOUND, an electrifying, vividly-penned rock record from a band—vocalist Chad Gray, guitarist Greg Tribbett, bassist Ryan Martinie and drummer Matt McDonough—that’s broadened its range without compromise. Produced by Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Superjoint Ritual), the highly anticipated album has the sonic heft of classic Mudvayne and is driven by the sledgehammer sound for which the band is known, but its heaviness has more to do with emotional content and delivery than amp settings.

“It’s definitely the most personal album we’ve ever made,” says Gray. “The songs deal with the test of the human spirit and the choices we make when faced with life’s more difficult challenges. Ultimately, it’s about consequences and being able to take a good long look in the mirror and feel good about who you are and the decisions that have shaped the person you’ve become.”

“…I feel it on the inside, twisting and contorting…”

“Forget To Remember”

Against a backdrop that mixes mood and melody to thrilling effect, Gray collects jagged memories and conversational flashes and channels them into songs of monolithic power. Backed by the pummeling rhythms of Martinie and McDonough, he comes out swinging on lead track “Determined,” taking aim at those who’d seek to take what’s rightfully his (“never wanted any more than what I deserve…fuck an inch/I’m bringin’ a mile”). In the song cycle that follows, he searches for simple truths by sifting through the wreckage of the past (lead single “Happy”) and realizes he’s given too much of himself away (“Forget To Remember”). He paints a picture of social erosion in “Fall Into Sleep,” searches for life beyond the ordinary in “TV Radio” and mourns loss in “Rain. Sun. Gone.” As a lyricist, Gray elevates the personal to the universal, speaking plainly and honestly while giving each track its own tense undercurrent.

Musically, the songs are unpredictable and alive, pulling in listeners with scalpel-sharp hooks and magnetic riffs. Tribbett’s impassioned fretwork and crushing riffage add color and depth to Gray’s vocals, creating melodies and arrangements that burst from the speakers with vitality and originality. “Chad’s a phenomenal singer and we wanted to emphasize that by giving him freedom to breathe and try different things,” says the guitarist. “That said, there are also plenty of ‘trademark Mudvayne moments’ on the record,” he adds. “I did a lot of down-picking throughout the album, which gave the guitars a thicker, heavier, more aggressive sound.”

That intensity comes across loud and clear on tracks like “Pushing Through” and “IMN,” on which the road-tightened quartet take the album to speaker-shredding extremes. Then there’s the disc’s brilliant closer, “Choices,” a blistering eight-minute opus filled with distorted textures, clench-fisted chords and glue-on-the-brain hooks.

“We’ve always taken pride in our ability to communicate to the different people that comprise our audience, be it the 13-year-old who’s pissed at his parents and wants to wear makeup, or the adult who’s very serious about music and art,” says Martinie. “I’d like people to be able to find things in our music that are relevant to their lives and I think this album offers that.”

Diehards will note that unlike past releases, LOST AND FOUND finds Mudvayne breaking from the gate sans makeup and pseudonyms. “We’ve never been defined by the makeup,” says McDonough. “That’s just one of the artistic tools that we’ve used to communicate ideas. We’re not apologizing for it or even saying that we won’t wear it again in the future. But right now, this is how we’re expressing ourselves."

“…step by step I’m pushing through…” -- “Pushing Through”

LOST AND FOUND follows 2002’s The End of All Things To Come, a juggernaut that wowed fans and critics alike with hits such as “Not Falling” and “World So Cold.” Mudvayne toured endlessly in support of the album, including a coveted spot on the high-profile Summer Sanitarium Tour, in which they tore up stages alongside Linkin Park, Deftones and headliners Metallica. They’ve raised the stakes with LOST AND FOUND, a skyscraping rock album delivered with unequaled musicianship, style and abandon.

“When you make your first record, you really don’t know what you’re doing,” says McDonough. “As a result, you find yourself screaming at the top of your lungs just to make yourself heard. You rebound from that with your second album, because you’re trying to live up to the expectations of its predecessor. With this record, we’ve definitely found our voice. We’re standing here with arms folded, saying ‘Now this is a Mudvayne album.”

ANYWAY...Here is the reading material you are currently pondering about. Excuse the spelling but that is how it was written at the time. I am only going to read it again, type it up word for word period by period, mistake by mistake, only right here it will be much more neater and clean. Discuss if you want, my little ones.

   Assembly Schedule...(*and TK*)
(*12/09/05. Friday. 10:16AM-Auto Tech-Per.4-6*) I have no fucking idea what period I am in right now because today the whole school is in assembly schedule. Not to mention my teacher is making me do this one "Senior Tool Room Schedule 2005-2006" piece of shi-et. (*Sigh...*)OH GREAT, my damn right hand hurts again like yesterday. I seriously have to try to stop typing so much...but it is kinda addicting. Damn, I spoke too soon...my whole right arm hurts. Just wonderful...I barely sit down to type and I already have to go to the restroom. So what if it is too much information...it is your fault because you are actully trying to read this, so THERE(*NYAH*)!!!Hold on(*10:21AM*)Back(*10:29Am*). (*Exhales...*)Gohd it is fucking cold in here. My fingers are probably freezing right now because I just washed my hands with the stupid cold school water in the restroom. Gohd, I really hate this school. The only good thing that this school does not have is the thing that they say that all schools should have..."school spirit", man what a bunch of bull shit I tell you. If it was for school spirit...I probably would of gotten stuffed into a damn fucking locker by now. either that or trash-canned. Whatever, they would still hurt either way...not to mention the trash-can thing would make my clothes all dirty because of the nasty shit that people eat at this fucking school. We always get shit food. Hold on my teacher just came right now,10:34AM. 10:37AM, okay back. Man, this is some bull shit. I have no fucking idea what fucking period it is right now. I think that it might be fifth right now...but dumb teachers don't tell you shit about what time it is or when you are going to leave the damn class. Heh...last time the Roadrunner, our school mascot, got close-linned. That was funny, although I did not find out if it was a girl or a guy. All that I know is that they got some real bad bruises, not so sure because of what I have heard but...they might of gotten some broken bones, or something like that. My ass hurts right now. These damn stools in here in Auto Tech...really hurt your ass if you are not fat. My stupid sister told me at first that I had a little ass and then she told me that I had no ass. Man, what the fuck is that all about?! She is my damn 13 year old sister, she is not supposed to be looking at my damn little ass=.=*. She is such a fucking weirdo. Oh well, at least I hope that she is not or does not become a damn nasty ass lesbian like the one that wants to go out with Nicholas, my ex-boyfriend. I don't like to use that term in perticular but...it is the best term that I can come up with in such a short time and notice. Well, I guess those are the same things anyway. (*Sigh...*)Some senior last year wanted to bring goats to school last year. Oh shit, the things that people want to do to this stupid school. I swear...so many people are sick of this school. Basically, I think that the only reason that people come here is to get a damm job or like me:)...to get the fuck away from my parents as far away as possible. My ass is hurting more now than before. I need some kind of cushion. Ahh, there. I put my sweater/jacket thing. (*Rolls eyes...*)Tch, (*sigh...*)I swear there is nothing to do in this stupid class. I hate being in this class. The only fucked reason that I am in here is because I had a really bad cruch on someone in here that does not even know that I exist as a person. I fucking hate him so much now and ever since I tried to ask him out and he did not even know that I was trying to tell him that I really liked him and that I wanted to go out with him. (*Sigh...*)I am really over him now. Now I just think that he is really annoying and that he is a fucking flaming homosexual. He touches more guys than gilrs. Hold on 10:58AM, gotta look up something for a friend. Kohls. Nevermind, the teacher is telling him where Kohls is. What is that store anyway? Oh, nevermind. It is a clothes department store thing. I don't know, alright? I hate shoping for clothes and I hate shoping for specific things in specific stores. If I see something and I can afford it, I'll buy it. Other than that fuck it all and kill them all them dumb bitches. (*Sigh...*)(*YAWN...*)So tired and sleepy. My ass is still hurting..."herm". This is some shit, when you sit for a long time your ass begins to hurt you. Your ass is supposed to help you not feel any pain when you sit like that. I guess...I guess I don't have enough "cushin for the pushin'"...either that or none at all. One person told me that my ass is hella nice though. Really soft. I think he knows who I am talking about. Hee-hee, yeah it's you baby boy. I love you so much, sorry for the mean things that I have said to you in out notebook and in person. I really don't mean to hurt you...that is if it really did though baby boy. We are going to be leaving like in 15 minutes or so. This is so annoying, I have this one lesbian bitch trying to kick my ass because she thinks that she in 8th grade thinking that all of her stupid, little prepy, idiotic, BITCHES are all going to back her up and gang up on me. I swear, I don't care how many there are of them on her stupid fuck-headed side...I'll nock them out on their asses one by one by ONE. I swear if one of them wants to fight me or all of them...they can all get the first hit on me and then the fight's on. So tired of her and her bull shit. If I don't talk to her it is because I know that I am a whore and that I do not want to "reveal" more of my true self. If I go on another bus...I am scared of her, her friends beating me up(*maybe even killing me-bitch all I wait for is death so all that you would be doing to me and for me would be the best favor that anyone can do for me*), and guess what my "MAIN" reason is for me going on another bus? Do you want to know? I FOUND ANOTHER MAN-WHORE TO DO SEXUAL THINGS TO ON MY WAY HOME ON MY BUS!!! I swear that bitch makes up so many stories about me she can't even keep them straight. She wants Nick so bad that she makes up the idea that I was giving out hickeys to ramndom guys on the bus and that I am always trying to get guys to do sexual things to me because I am a horny slut. She can say all she wants about me but the thing is that...guess what? NICK DOESN'T FUCKING LOVE YOU BITCH!!! Well, I have to go now to my assembly. I love you honey baby boy!!!(*11:40AM*)

American History X and Pirates of the Caribean-Curse of the Black Pearl
(*12/08/05. Thursday. 10:18A.M. Auto Tech Per.5*) This movie is so fucked up but in a way it is kinda funny. I'm not racist just so all you know that shit. The most fucked up part was somewhere in the beginning where Derek made one of the "enemy"(*one of the black guys with the dread locks*)bit the fucking curb. Then when he had his teeth and all, Derek kicked his face into the curb and broke his teeth along with the rest of his jaw, which finally killed him at the same time in the end. Man, the way that it sounded was so horrible that it made me feel like that was me getting my face messed up like that. This movie is so freaking emotional and so into everything, like you could say "deep feeling". It was alright but the whole racist thing was so out of fucking line. Spic and beaner refer to Mexican. So whoever the fuck desides to call me that shit better think twice before they open their soon to be riped out mouth. I'm not racist so I would appreciate it if nobody called me that shi-et. Especially my stupid boyfriend, yeah I know that he is playing around with me but still...sometimes it makes me feel like crap. I hope that he wouldn't call me that so often and stuff. Really makes me feel more like a damn friend rather than what I am...his fucking girl. He wanted me to himself for all this damn long ass time and when he does...most of the time I am treated like a friend instead of a girlfriend. I mean I enjoy it and all that good stuff with friendship because we can hang out(*that is if I was allowed to go out but nooo...my dad has to be all protective of me and I can't even open the door to look outside to see how the weather is going on outside*) whenever but sometimes I would like sweetness here and there with some affection too. The RARE hugs that I get are all nice but they should be pationate...like it used to be. I miss my sophomore year and my junior year in high school. Hey right now I am watching "Pirates of the Caribean-Curse of the Black Pearl". I love the one that is always drunk, Captain Jack Sparrow...or when he was at the docks...Mr.Smith. He is so damn funny :). Not to mention he is really cute with the whole eye-liner thing, oh man is that hot or what:)?! That is my style, yeah I know that I am weird...but in a way it is sort of attractive. SO GET OVER IT!!! I know that somebody is going to get jelous but HA HA!!! Hee-hee, I love being a little trouble maker...sides some people like that side of me...they think that it is cute and attractive.(*Sigh...*) I type and talk too much. Right now it is 11:26A.M. and I am still in Auto Tech...so boring right now. Shit, it's cold. You would think that it would be warm in an auto shop but it is the complete opposite...hell, it is even colder than outside. I am kinda tired too. Not to mention my fingers are kinda freezing right now because of the damn typing that I am doing right now. My right hand hurts a little more than the left one. I really don't know how that works out but unfortunatelly it does, rather kind of sad you know. Stupid frozen fingers(*shivers*). I am so sleepy right now...*)Ooh, be right back...have to go to the bathroom(*11:34A.M.*)Back(*11:51A.M.*)Man, I just had a freaking work out with Joel T. amd Matt W. They tried to fucking tie me up with duck tape. On my hands and on my feet. Now it is all hot in here because of the damn movement I just did. It was so much fun though. Play fights kick-ass...even if you do happen to get hurt in the event of it happening. The sleeves of my Auto Tech uniform now have that damn fucking residue...heh, so what? I had a shit load of fun though. Man, I wish that I could go out and hang out with some friends. Joel and Matt aren't bad boys...they just like to fuck with peoples minds or with the whole of you in general. (*Sigh...*)I should start to log off but I don't want to because it is kind of fun to type what I am thinking at the moment. DAMN!!! It's already 11:58A.M.!!! Whau...time goes fucking fast. Now it is 11:59A.M. Well, time to go to lunch and all. See you all later, that is...the ones who actually read this stuff, and have the time for it too. Love you baby boy!!!(*12:00PM*)

Bored!!!
(*10:57AM 12/02.05. Friday. Auto Tech-Per.5*)
Man am I bored. I am trying to delete somethings on my site but the damn thing will just not let me, ARGH!!! Oh well I guess. Not
to mention the keyboard that I am using right now does not exactly work to my advantage because it is so old and sort of covered in stupid oil and fucking grease because it is used to look up parts. It is like people do not know how to use a sink and soap to clean their damn nasty little grimy hands. I don't mind it much but this key board makes typing hurt more than normal. Ugh, I have to go and do something really private. I'll come back and try to delete somethings on my site that bothers a certain someone. Love you baby!!! (*11:08AM*)
