    Griffin never take the haters to heart.
    Vended is awesome and you all are very talented.
    Having Corey and Clown as parents and fans is going to have an influence but you guys are your own band and I for one look forward to the ride.

    Denon ❤️ And it's so true Griff can sing anything and sing it well. I don't know any of the others in the band but they are very talented. Also please play Wooly's again I couldn't make it to your show last night but I will be there and at any other shows I can. Because I believe in you guys.

    and very well i certainly add! embrace the negativity, validate all the negativity coming youre way, and imagine youre way in turning them into positivity. stick together! the relationship between yourselves is everything!!!!! you are young yes, and as you grow older you realize more and better the world around, you take more info from the circumstances around you. do not rush anything (hard when ur young) and it's the truth, apreciate and enjoy every single moment of this crazy life ahead of you. all the best to you boys, im listening..

  • @Skeware
    @Skeware ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I like them. I remember when Griff and Simon first started to appear online practicing music, they were just young kids finding their way, there were quite a few hate comments, but I think that all it was was because they were coming from the Slipknot platform and you know it's understandable how people may react when they see kids just "not there yet", still very raw and unexperienced, getting privileged exposure to an established fanbase. But what people forget is that the support they have doesn't matter in the end if the result is great, meaning it's great that they have the support and more importantly, don't waste it.
    So you guys, use the hate to level and ground yourselves but dont take it to the heart, build upon it. I can't wait to see more from you VENDED :) keep it up

Otherwise their music will only get better. I hope Griffin and everyone else in the band don't look too much into negative press, maybe think about innovations to your sound but don't let haters steer the boat or you'll definitely crash. Either way I hope the best for them 🤘

      Well, I don’t see 9 members…but, I mean you’re right in terms of stage presence and the influence from their parents. You can definitely see similarities in Corey’s and Griffin’s vocals, sadly the Nu-Metal sound that all Slipknot fans love has died out…even though slipknot still uses the awesome depth of samples, Scratches and different percussionists…vended most likely won’t. I wish that slipknot would have people similar enough to slip into their shoes as performers and carry out their “legacy” but it just won’t happen with Vended. :(

    I think they’re somewhat talented there a couple songs I like of theirs. But man, they’re a shadow of their daddy’s talent. And it sure does cut corners for them. I like the way griffin sounds, but lyrically he lacks talent. It’s very basic, and ingenious especially when you have grown up in mansions because of your parents. The level of hardship and comparison to their dads journeys doesn’t translate for what I hear in the songs. I think griff needs to stop trying so hard to be a clone of his dad In copying his mannerisms, stage persona, and style. I just wanna see him be his own act, his own identity and to break away from the shadow of his dad.
