Dax sounds like Peter Murphy

or at least he did at one point, like on Dead Girl.

I also hear a little bit of Beck in there.

Discuss.

had to google peter murphy

i can hear it

Why we're you listening to that dude?

Yeah, explain yourself, Mister!

I always figured Dax was a Bauhaus fan. Someone ask him next time they see him.

Maybe it's just coincidence though.

I never really heard the Layne Staley thing a lot of people point out.

i dont hear layne staley either. my mom said dax kind of sounds like chris cornell

Really? Hmm. I guess if you listen to some of his stuff on Euphoria Morning you might hear it a little.

so yeah, this thread is now a discussion about Dax's vocal influences/who he sounds like...

My first post on forum is going to be awful; Dax sounds like Billie Joe Armstrong on The wall of death and I hate that cover. Thankfully it is not a general comparison, because then I wouldn't have registered

Don't worry about it, dude.

All 1680 of my posts have been awful.

I could hear more Chris Cornell than Layne...but I could definitely hear Layne on "We laugh like the dead"

I plan to check this out tomorrow at work and see if I can hear it. We're into the Pandora radio while I try to get dinner done before midnight stage of the night.

another coincidence he sounds like eddie murphy on the classic track party all the time

haha i seriously had no idea Eddie Murphy ever recorded a song.   I guess it's not bad if you dig 80's pop music, i personally can't fucking stand 80's pop music for the most part.

this sucked.
I can hear it though a little.

The song's alright. I do like Bauhaus. The title "Beautiful Downgrade" actually comes from a Bauhaus lyric.

Woah that's cool.  I guess dax must dig 'em.  I've heard of this group forever but never listened to them.  I definitely hear a resemblance on i'll fall with your knife as far as dax sounding like peter murphy.

Anyone agree with my Beck comparison? I feel this way when I listen to Beck's stuff from "One Foot in the Grave" and "Sea Change." Awesome albums by the way.
