Loop-meister Reggie Watts isn't afraid to trash Tool, vow to make a contemporary rap recording in two hours flat, and reveal his turn to extreme industrial hardcore. Loop-meister Reggie Watts isn't afraid to trash Tool, vow to make a contemporary rap recording in two hours flat, and reveal his turn to extreme industrial hardcore.
I’m not really into guys, but there’s something about actor, sweater-model, comedian, musician, and vocal-looper Reggie Watts that warms my cockles. It’s not a romantic thing—the moist-eyed mirthfulness he arouses springs more from a sense of being witness to a plushie messiah.
I should shut up for a moment before discussing how I raise these pressing concerns with Watts himself, and unfortunately he doesn’t seem to get it either—he does kind of go through the motions of grasping my feelings, but deep inside I know he’s faking it in a lukewarm attempt to please me.Yet first I will shut up so that you may experience Reggie lifting, looping, into a strange Appalachian heaven. If you’re impatient with the unrelated preliminaries, start at about 1 minute and 19 seconds.
But the Appalachian one … the Appalachian one seems to me to have a real strong emotion through it. Are you in emotional states when you’re singing and performing? Do you feel all that stuff? Do you lose yourself? Or, are you being precise?I may not directly be doing a one-for-one emotional vibe, but I want to feel it. If I’m doing a mood I’m trying to channel what it feels like to do. I studied piano, starting at age five until I was 16. And violin for eight years until I was 16.
But they were the ones who just, “No, we’re Tool.” And I’m “Sorry guys, but you aren’t that good that you can have that kind of attitude. Ultimately no one is—although I could imagine it for Prince, like “Whatever you need, Prince.” Totally fine. But Tool? I’m like, “You’re just math rock.”
