![]() It’s going to give you a bit of everything chevelle can throw out there all packed into one song. ![]() Vitamin-R is the quintessential Chevelle song imo. When people ask what I’m listening to and they seem interested, i tell them to listen to “Vitamin-R” if they want to get into the band. I think it’s incredible with how they make their shit sound better, simpler, than stupidly, over-intricate guitar/bass riffs. One thing I’ve noticed with them is their relatively simple guitar and bass tabs. On the one hand they put out soft, moving tracks like Envy and Bend the Bracket, and on the other side they feature skull crushing riffs and screaming in songs like Last Days, then there's everything in between I also appreciate these guys because they're adept in such a variety of styles. And Pete has such a wide vocal range that he can draw listeners in with lighter, alternative-rock-ish singing and unique lyrics, then blow you away with a well placed climax. Chevelle's instrumentation focuses on short, well thought out bursts of sound that are often heavy, yet easy to digest. That kind of music has its time and place, but most people getting into metal aren't looking for that, and Chevelle provides a great alternative. When a lot of bands want to sound heavy, they opt for abrasive screaming and growling vocals with thrashing, distorted guitars. Heres the interview if you want a better look:Ĭhristianitytoday.I think these guys stand out because they take a far more melodic approach to songwriting than most other hard rock groups. We originally signed with a record company that was backed by Word, so the record was in Christian bookstores. "It's something that's probably going to follow us around forever and that's fine," drummer Sam Loeffler once told Entertainment Insiders. Given the "Christian band" label the moment their Squint Entertainment debut Point #1 hit store shelves, the band of brothers acquired the title by default, not necessarily because they wanted to. Read this paragraph from an interview with Chevelle during their first cd.Ĭriticized by conservatives, embraced by many Christians, and supported by rock enthusiasts in all walks of life, there probably isn't a band more entrenched in the "are they/aren't they?" debate than Chevelle. don't listen to what others tell you and only care about yourself and what makes you happy. the bridge is saying stop living your life with so many rules. second verse is kinda self explanatory, kind of confusing to the rest of song (unusual for Chevelle) Pete says "plead silence" and don't give in basically. In the chorus, "weak hands are calling" is a reference to the people who ask things from you. He's talking to the person that got the money out of his friend and he's like you know you just used someone you douche. Pete says "so he'll loan the cash/ but the sin is on the hands of you". Everyone has rights over what they're willing to do, and the pushover just gives up to others pleas too easily. ![]() The first verse is talking about someone asking the pushover for money knowing he'll "give in again" and Pete's like "the bastard" like get it together man, you "can't keep refusing rights". I think this song is about a person is too nice and hurts himself because of it, or a pushover. ![]()
