Rody Walker of Protest The Hero with another fine interview.

“The generation that’s coming up now does not know Jim Carrey the comedian. They’ve seen The Number 23 and some of the other serious stuff that he’s done, and some of the children’s movies. But they missed that entire period of The Cable Guy, Dumb and Dumber, and the Ace Ventura movies, so they never saw Jim Carrey at his best. That kind of pisses me off.”

I think about those things, too. Like how some kids don’t know what vinyl is, or never heard of Windows 3.1. Man! Me and Rody, we see things on another level.

Rody also has an opinion about screamo:

“We really weren’t happy with the screamo label that was being applied to us,” Walker says. “What we tried to do, in addition to getting heavier, was also be more progressive, so that when people listen to it they’ll have trouble defining it, as opposed to writing it off as a screamo record. Screamo sucks.”

After the jump, Jim Carrey singing with Cannibal Corpse.

   So sad. Carrey has so much talent. But arn’t there better things in this world to rant about than kids not knowing the full extent of Carrey’s talent, like Jay Denitto said?
   BTW, labels suck. If you like the music, you like it. Does it really matter what genre it fits into?
