Metoyer and his band perform regularly in Louisiana and Texas for a wide variety of events, including festivals, night clubs, trail rides, corporate events, casinos, and private parties. In 2010, his senior year of high school, he formed the band Rusty Metoyer and The Zydeco Krush. However, he didn’t pick up the accordion until the age of 14 after both grandfathers had passed away and he felt that someone needed to keep the tradition going in the family. Both of his grandfathers were Creole musicians. Rusty Metoyer was immersed in Creole music from a young age. He and his band mates have performed over 10,000 concerts, toured millions of miles to over 45 countries during their eventful career. Simien has become one of the most respected and accomplished artists in American roots music today. Two Berklee grads in one zydeco band definitely a first for this genre! We could not be more honored that they chose this genre and this group. Both Ian and Orlando are Berklee College graduates. Simien leads a massively skilled Zydeco Experience band with long time member and creative collaborator Danny Williams (30+ years, two-GRAMMY award winning), keyboards Stan Chambers (10+ years, GRAMMY award winning), bass Ian Molinaro – Thompson, drums and our newest members, Revon Andrews, trombone and Orlando Gilbert, saxophone. John and Terrance’s friend/hero, once told him “if the music ain’t changin, it’s dyin.” We couldn’t agree with you more, Mac! And yes, it most definitely is also about vocal performances – Terrance’s lead vocals and the stunning three part harmonies of he, Danny and Stan – are proof positive that vocal performances matter – a lot! Finally, it is most definitely dynamic and evolving. Sure it’s about dancing “less dancing please”, said no-one ever! But, it’s also about grooving in place and dancing freely. It’s also more than just one rhythm and one tempo. It’s exhilarating and as complex and diverse as the Creoles. Well hope that was helpful, a little long winded but its TooL what do you expect.It most certainly is American roots music and it is music born of the black and mixed race French speaking Creoles of South Louisiana. And all of you know, that when you say something wrong you get beat up for it right? And that's what I think it is.Īnd then I think the place where no one invited him, and the place Maynard wants him to get out is just a life experience. That he is knee deep, and Maynard is wanting it to suck him down. That his own words, his own actions are sucking him down. I think it might be the enemy's own stupidity in a sense. Not related to the thing to be invited to. Now I have to assume that the bog is its own thing. The bog might be the hardest part of this song actually. The person that no one invited but came in anyway. That he wants to get sucked into the quicksand. The type of person that just pisses him off. I think that the enemy, might not be a personal enemy. A person that caused that anger that is always talked about in Maynards early musical career. Now this makes me think that Maynard is talking to an enemy. Belligerence is a warlike or aggressively hostile nature, condition, or attitude. Now Im sure you know what stupid is, but maybe not belligerent. Then Maynard proceeds to call him stupid and belligerent. Ill come back to that point.Īnd when I think when he refers to bog. To say that he will never come back from his anger or a fight. I mean its a stretch (thats what she said) to say that it is. Which to me this steers me away from the swamp being Maynard. And he's knee deep in the quicksand or swamp.Īnd then "You may never come back again". And when your elbow deep, knee deep, you are really far in. Similiar to I think a later song from TooL stinkfist (my favorite) where your elbow deep in the borderline. You know how when your knee deep in something your pretty far in. For it being musically sound (get the pun?) and 2. Then "Your waiding knee deep" I think he says it twice 1. Someone who doesn't think about his brash moves, about his aimless moves. "My warning meant nothing, your dancing in quicksand" Obviously I think he told someone not to do something, but it wasnt paid attension to and the person who he told ended up you know walking the fine line, walked along the edge bungie jumped off the empire state building if you will.Īnd then The next lines "Why don't you watch where your wandering why don't you watch where you are stumbling" I think its just the description of the fellow.
#UNIQUE SWAMP SONG CRACKED#
Just so you know I'm a hardcore TooL fan and think iv cracked most of the songs anyway. Really one of my first interpretations, so trying a somewhat easy song in my opinion.
