He drank the saddle bronc from black tooth brewing.

Forget tactical soap, i honestly couldn't think of a better company to sponsor cobes than an alcohol producer called "Black Tooth"

Holy shit, godspeed. I've tried playing along with him before for shits and giggles. It's a mess. There's no rhythm being maintained longer than a measure or so. If you can even make measures out of what he's doing half the time. From what I've seen most of it if drop-D stuff so he can play power chords with one finger. So at least that makes things easier. Any sort of melodic lines or "soloing" seem like little more than random notes strung together (it works for Slayer though lol). Even putting a word like "chromatic" to it makes it sound more coherent than it is. Oh and the guitar might be *kind of* in tune relative to itself. But it's not a guarantee that A=/=440hz.

I mean it's one thing to jam along and copy what someone is doing. Video isn't as good as in person, but there are still all kinds of cues to pick up on and follow. But putting that mess to paper...I don't even want to think about the headache of transcribing all the key/meter/time changes. I hope you have lots of ibuprofen.

As a fan of Josh or quote" fan for a long time of his music, I'll tell you one thing. He has two or three core phrases he plays and that's before he starts fucking around with his reverb. Slight delay noodling and soloing bullshit. We might be able to use a music theory. AI to crank out the notes he's playing and that would be a start, but even then you'd still have to tweak it, right. I liken this to win a band started to play the shags stuff live with Dot Wiggins in 2012. It's really interesting stuff to see young people playing that out of tune off. Kilter BS from the '60s. Josh's music was the same thing

Cobes' discography is pure outsider music, up there with the Shaggs, Daniel Johnston and Wesley Willis. It's so utterly unlike anything a normal artist would produce unironically it's practically its own genre. Boglimcore, or boglim rock if you will. His early work is just teenage angst, sex jokes and surface level "goth" stuff mixed in with badly played guitar and SFX. But the later stuff is runs the gamut from "if an alcoholic retard tried to copy Cradle of Filth and Black Sabbath" to actually passable freestyle raps.

And the layered vocals. Where did the BOY get that idea from and why does he feel the need to add a choir of boglims in almost every song he makes now?

 

[RollingRock2]

Cobe's layering remind me of Goatlord by Darkthrone, which was originally a demo album but was released as their 7th studio album. As a demo it has extremely poor recording quality (even for early Darkthrone standards) and has a pitch shifted layered falsetto.

$40 for a single medium pizza. I never really appreciated that he's like the "whales" that spend thousands of dollars on a single mobile game or a specific streamer, but for his local Dominos. The profit margins on Cobes' orders must make that franchise owner proud.

I still maintain that Cobra's Cantina is the only song he has ever produced that you could show to a normie and have them recognize it as an attempt at music. A lot of his stuff just sounds like noise with a spoken word track layered over it.

His guitar tracks are absolutely lathered in delay and reverb. Those are fine effects that plenty of fantastic guitarists use within moderation, but when you crank both those dials to 10, it's extremely easy to sound better than you actually are. It covers up 90% of the mistakes you're making while giving your sound a sense of immensity. To someone's untrained ear, when he noodles it maybe, kinda sounds like he knows what he's doing but if you remove those effects, it's an instantaneous incoherent mesh of attempted notes that don't follow any structure or sense. It would sound WORSE than what he's recorded, if you can believe that.

Cobra's music is symptomatic of many things in his life; There was enough of an effort applied to give the vaguest appearance of completion. Once that's been achieved, it's time to sit on his laurels and proclaim himself the king.

You know this congealed mass of fat, grease and salt is straight up FIRE, when our boy eats it within two hours of delivery instead of the standard 24-48 hours

 

[BlastMonk]

Even your bestest most super duper favorite youtube creators are doing fucking weird shit in discords and they all eventually all get caught.

It takes a certain personality type to become a 'content creator', no one who uploads videos online is a normal person. I fear for younger kids who think all these narcs are normal.

I fucking love Cobes music and I unironically get hype for his new albums. Def agree he’s like Wesley Willis. Like is it good? No? Is it even listenable? No? But there’s nothing else like it, it’s an exercise in insanity. It’s mystifying and hilarious. To be fair though I like experimental music, things that are meant to be listened to for the experience rather than the enjoyment of the sound or whatever like Stalaggh and shit

 

[PetiteFeet]

That's probably something good for him to be drinking. All the alcohol has to completely nuke his intestinal flora so anything that helps with that is good.

It would also be one of the only times he's eaten fruit and veg that hasn't been battered and fried on stream.

Satan‘s Bell sounds like a generic black metal song and you could totally play it to a non metal head and tell them it’s black metal.

He still doesn't get that ordering more toppings means they use less of each topping.

So many people do not know this and the price goes up so high. The only topping that does give you more is extra chesse really a they normally just stack it on.

 

[PixarsTedKennedy]

What's crazy is when he had that keyboard and was making beats I thought some were legit interesting. I wish I had the clip. Thanks Reddit.

The pizza alone was almost 30 bucks with all the shit he added,
View attachment 7192022View attachment 7192034

Just in extras, the grated cheese, garlic butter and red pepper flakes, he paid $5.88. Add in roughly another $2.50 for tax, probably at least a $2 delivery fee and I am being generous there, it is most likely more, and the total comes to $38.87 before any tip for the driver, and Pizza hut is notorious for stealing tips from Dashers. So if the whole thing cost him $40, that means he only tipped $1.

 

[Orkeosaurus]

A part of me wonders if Cobes has ever used a coupon in his fucking life. And I do just mean basic shit like the permanent 5 toppings large pizza for 11 bucks or w/e. I know hes retarded and needs the slop mountain but goddamn he would save so much money. But honestly he'd probably just see how much he's saving and buy two pizzas and let one half rot and get sick and die, so maybe getting his wallet absolutely reamed is saving his life.

I just lurk and am on mobile so forgive me but I swear in the first apartment he tried to put in a coupon code online for pizza and he just couldn't figure it out. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

He tried, and was unable to redeem a Pizza Hutt gift card provided by porkney, it resulted in rage. We are not all born knowing how to redeem gift cards trole!

documented here

TLDW: Cobra was too retarded to redeem a gift card, got very mad, gave up and ordered from a different pizza slop provider with paypig money.
