Certainly, 5FDP have picked up the Texans’ baton and run with throughout the last decade, and both bands share an unwillingness to conform. Pantera were the most definitive band of the 90’s, and one that Five Finger Death Punch are most commonly compared to. The Death Punch version certainly beefs up Dexter Holland’s nasal vocal whine, and the half pace stomp gives the song a lot more grit and stomp than the original. One of the more surprising covers the band has attempted in their career was their decision to tackle Orange County punk superstars The Offspring’s 1997 single Gone Away.
Awkward (even though they’d kiss and make up pretty quickly). Things didn’t improve when Ivan did arrive, with the frontman arguing with his bandmates onstage, who promptly exited the stage to leave Ivan alone as he announced that it would be his “last show with Five Finger Death Punch”. Dutch fans thought they were witnessing the end of the band when Ivan Moody showed up two songs late, Tommy Vext of Bad Wolves assuminig vocal duties to open the set. 5FDP are one of the very few bands that have come close though to aping Metallica’s success, and the fact that their seventh album was called And Justice For None was a clear nod to Lars and the boys.įive Finger Death Punch’s show on the 12th of June 2017 at the 013 venue in Holland is the most infamous of their career. It will shock no one that the biggest metal band of them all have had a huge impact on the sound and career of Five Finger Death Punch.
The song, taken from the rapper’s 1990 album of the same name, probably never seemed like it was suitable for a chunky, metallic makeover, but Death Punch truly made it their own. Death Punch are no different, bestowing the moniker of Knuckleheads upon their followers.Īlmost certainly the most fun FFDP have ever sounded is when they took on the song Mama Said Knock You Out by New York hip-hop icon LL Cool J. Slipknot have Maggots, Avenged Sevenfold have Avengers and Black Label Society have Berserkers, it seems that if you are a massive cult metal band you need to give your fans a name to go by. But he could always hook up with fellow ex-5FDP man Jeremy Spencer in Psychosexual (see below…) After months of speculation, culminating in a fuck-you photo celebrating one million Instagram followers that didn’t feature Hook and dark rumours of a gagging order, the guitarist confirmed his departure. But, thanks to his superbly crushing guitar tone and technically dizzying solos, that’s exactly what happened.Īt least it was until Hook was recently given his marching orders by the band. The singer has batled addiction, rehab, public breakdowns and fights with his bandmates, but he is the face and voice of the band, and it’s hard to imagine how anyone else could step into his shoes were he to not be there.īack in the year 2000 Jason Hook was hired by Disney pop princess Hilary Duff to play guitar in her band, back then you’d have got long odds on him becoming an iconic metal musician. Divisive, enigmatic, unpredictable and unique, Ivan Moody has been on a hell of a ride during his time fronting FFDP.
