Thank you!!!! Finally someone said it!!
On another side, I always felt that the main singer of Samurai/Refused was so far from Keanu's voice, I always had a hard time being immersed when the songs came out. The music is amazing, but damn if they don't match
idk if it’s just me but the lead screamer in most of the samurai songs sounds WAY more like kerry than it does johnny… there’s a couple of songs like “never fade away” and “a like supreme” where you can hear a second singer underneath the main one that sounds much more believably johnny, and i’d be willing to believe that johnny is the main singer in ‘black dog’ too, bc that sounds a lot like him, but the screaming lyrics that are in most of the choruses?
i think despite all the promo material that shows johnny at the front of the stage… that man does not scream the lyrics, that’s all kerry. that’s why kerry’s voice sounds like that in current day and johnny’s voice is still like low and smooth when he dies. he doesn’t scream the lyrics, he growls ‘em. when the song is just singing, that’s johnny, but kerry has that perfect rasp that just… 🙌
also: hc that if v ever brings this up to johnny he gets VERY defensive. he never managed to nail down the screaming thing like kerry did and they argued about it every day.
“Throughout his career, Reeves has eschewed obvious transformation in favor of something trickier and more subtle. What has allowed him to remain a star, 30 years later, is a blend of virility, vulnerability, and an aura of mystery, hearkening to a bygone era of stardom that contradicts the current moment, which requires stars to seem endlessly accessible; his sheer joy for the medium that makes him a cinematic sensualist; his racial dimensions as a star; and his gimlet-eyed understanding of the female gaze.
These qualities are unique in the current market of stardom in Hollywood, allowing him to straddle various cinematic contexts with ease — mainstream romantic comedies, somber indie flicks, gloriously decadent action flicks.”

But the only man I will accept into my life will be a copycat of either Bo Burnham, Hozier, Neil Newbon or Keanu Reeves, no one else.
I saw an old rice cooker being used as a flower pot. I thought it was cute ^^
