Yeah humor in music is wildly overrated. You end up getting garbage like Randy Newman or Frank Zappa.

Warren Zevon and Elvis Costello are about the only guys I can think of to consistently pull it off. Mostly b/c it's dripping with sarcasm.

I'm a Zappa fan, sir. I guess what I'm saying is, I've never been inclined to giggle at "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow." There's more than enough musicality there to make it 'not funny' for me. Maybe I'm a joyless prick? Whatever. It's saved me from buying/listening to Weird Al records.

I think you're unfairly relegating humour into the 'fucking stupid and meaningless slapstick' pile too easily. Since when did 'musicality' destroy humour? You don't need a belly laugh to have 'humour'. Do you laugh at anything? Sarcastic wit, 'black' / dark comedy? Anything?

I laugh a shit ton, actually. Sarcastic wit, 'black' / dark comedy are probably my favorites. But I don't want/look for it in my musical choices. Take your example of Satan's Bed. I find the subject matter kinda serious. "I'll never suck Satan's dick" has never struck me as funny, or humor. Same with Bugs and foxy. I freely admit it might make me a joyless prick. But, I'm not about to apologize for it.

And neither should you, sir. Be who you are and have a good day.

I also find AC/DC's Big Balls to be one of the dumbest songs ever recorded. But, I laughed at Four Weddings And Funeral. I'm really far from perfect.

Humor is not the same as jokes, Justin. You know that.

I know. I just hate to call it humor if it doesn't make me laugh.

Jerry Cantrell´s advice for sure.

Now let's get that beard off and we have ourselves a super album.

Hopefully he puts his teeth in before recording vocals

Jill likes the facial hair

Well, he had very short hart and no beard for riot act, and pretty short hair and no beard for yield, so if that says anything

Damn, this is turning completely into a pit thread

You know things are bad when you see a pic of Ed with a new haircut and think maybe this album does have a chance to be good.
