Speedo

I thought they weren’t doing that this tour?

It’s all the songs that didn’t make the cut on the original album. They were already basically finished, all they did was finalize them, mix and ship off to mastering. The turnaround is quick ‘cause they were already basically done.

forgot about this one.

Endo as in Endodontics? Is your music like a root canal?

Not even any Christie Road!

lol

Fap, this is getting out of hand now. Please stop, the other kids are starting to talk.

Name the results of his incompetency.

Hi, Fap!

Yes … he is playing the majority of the guitar on the older, pre-untitled songs. The Untitled and on songs require backing tracks to be full and Tom switches up to playing the lead or accents. Just like I said all along. You always get there, just sometimes you get there eventually. I’m proud of you though!

This isn’t true, Fap. I just don’t think you have enough experience to really understand what you’re seeing and hearing. That’s not a diss, it takes time to build that ear. Keep practicing though, bud!

I don’t think I’m right, I know I’m right. That’s why you’re so angry because you know it too. I’m not expecting you to admit it or anything, it’s okay.

Drummers, amirite?! Fap needs to spend less time Supporting Radical Habits and more time listening and learning. Its so frustrating because he won’t even try to get better.

I am amazing you think so too! Shut up and kiss me, big boy.

The level of wrong on this post is up there with starving children and thalidomide babies.

This feels personal, man. I’m just not sure why things make you so upset. It’s all just so silly. I’m sorry that you’re not correct on this particular issue about an aspect of music that I’m particularly interested in and like to learn about but it’s not a big deal. I’m not sure why you can’t just accept that maybe someone other than you is correct about something. It’s all so hostile and weird. I don’t know why you have to jump to insults, they just make you look more wrong than you already are, pal. So just take the L and move on. Hell, this isn’t the first one I’ve given you! So, out of your abundant L’s from Speedo, find two that are the prettiest and put them together. If you do it just right you can finally have that W your angry little heart desires.

I clearly won, Diddy. This is like the 7th time now, I’d be more excited but it’s kind of lost it’s thrill.

This isn’t going well for you, I feel bad.

Then I guess this means I have a point!

Nah ah!

I’m real proud of this one!

Knowing everything is such a burden.

If you would bother paying attention you might learn something. The comments explain perfectly what’s going on. “Feeling This has two guitar tracks going on One’s a rhythm track that goes E-B-C#-A (what Tom’s playing) The other is the main riff” and ”Yes, the rhythm guitars are backtracked and straight from the album recording and Tom is playing the lead and octave parts. Sounds very full live and creates a huge sound.” No ones saying the don’t use backing tracks … Tom usually picks up the lead guitar. You don’t hear this on older songs, before Untitled because there’s no need to do it. The songs were linear … they stopped being linear with Untitled. It’s why their song changed so much. Their songs are no longer just one guitar layered, their songs are made up of several different guitar parts making up the melody … they do this with bass as well … Feeling This is a good example … the studio version of Feeling This has two different basses going … this is something Mark does a lot. Make plays the bass live to Feeling This with the rhythm bass line instead of the lead bass that’s recorded. The lead guitar of Feeling This is what Tom plays but the backing tracks are what fatten up the song for the live perform … if you didn’t it would just sound tinny and weak because Tom is played octave runs and Marks bass is relatively jangly. An alternative to backing tracks is to pay touring musicians to play those parts like they used to do in prior decades but that’s expensive and modern technology has made it unnecessary. Keep the money, and use backing tracks … Travis is already playing to a click anyway, just punch them in. It’s a timed showed with all sort of pyro and blasts and lasers, it’s an event for entertainment at this point, not a basement show.
