Well, we're lazy again. You had a nice new song last weekend. Four years? Yeah... We're past the four year mark. As such, I think we get to be a little lazy. We've earned the right to rest on our laurels. By the way, that 'rest on our laurels' has nothing to do with bushes or resting on our haunches or anything like that. Laurels are awards for accomplishments, so the saying is basically, 'going to rely on our previous accomplishments'. And now you know...
Tonight's song is an all-time favorite. I was actually a little angry when performing this. I'd just bitched at some audience member who didn't seem to think the 'no flash photography' applied to them. They were singled out, sworn at, and put in their place. It's bad enough that I have the stage lights in my face, I don't need other distractions and I don't need my pupils adjusting constantly. Yes, I often need to actually fucking see what I'm fucking doing. When we say no flash photography, that applies to you - and no, it doesn't mean 'just a little flash photography is okay'. It's even worse when it's 'lights down' and my eyes have adjusted to the darkness.
Anyhow, without further ado...
Yes, nearing the end, that's effects on my voice and not a talkbox. It's a touch of reverb with the gain turned up. Yes, I pretty much nailed it, even though I was kinda grumpy. It's my damned job.
Rock on, Poalr Bears! Rock on!
Beautiful stuff. I'm sure a lot of old band mates can say this, but this is the one song, when me and my brother see each other after years of being apart, this is the one that for certain comes out when the alcohol is right and the amps are on.
Thanks and glad you liked it. It's truly an 'all-time favorite' and not just for the musicians. Even the younger crowds know this song and sing along with you. This was from the 3rd of July, so we were pretty sober and still well-rested. We did three shows that weekend.
Their photos will turn out a whole lot cooler looking without using a flash! Sheesh!
This sounds great. Your voice sounds a lot different on this one than others that you've shared the last month or so. I don't know what it is exactly, but its different.
Probably the effects, this is with fewer effects until the end where I use a touch of reverb and gain. It was also the day before so my voice wasn't as trashed. Look at the date. This one is from the 3rd, instead of the 4th.
And, yeah, VR driving is pretty solid these days. The good news is that you'll get a reset button in VR driving and you can have a ton of fun that you just can't do in real life, 'cause it'd be too expensive.
It must have been cause your voice was not trashed yet. Cause it sounded different before the effects
And yeah, I take chances in the VR I never would in real life in a real car. I am a very careful driver, and I don't really drive super fast, though yesterday I was going down the highway and happened to look down at the speedometer and it said I was doing a hundred. I thought I was doing 75 LoL
Wish I was there too. Very nice job and you did a great job on the vocals. I noticed Biff throwing in some effects (other than the vox) it's little details like that that make it great.
We're going to go perform tomorrow night. They're at our favorite venue this weekend and we figure we might as well go make some noise.
Hell yeah!
It's the perfect set up you have now got going with the band where you can go have some fun and make a lot of noise and melt some faces if you feel like it, with a great backing band that's got their parts down, or, you can just say nah, don't feel it and the band does the show without you! That's got to be close to the ideal!
