The newsletter was nonsense! All Blair did was confirm (most of us already knew) that Joe Baressi was producing or mixing the album, and show us the same pictures that are on Adam's page...thanks Blair!

By the way, the morse code was on the newlsetter...wtf?

Is it true that the lead singer of tool( I dont know his name:() removed his ribs so that he can show off his 3d tattoo he's got on his back?

I heard it somewhere and I just wanted to make sure its true.

Yeah, it's kind of weird, because he's basically like a snake. Without his ribs, he kind of slithers along and looks reptilian.

Very bizarre :eek:

No.

I dont mean all his ribs maybe just one or two from either side.

Anyone else worried by the number of firearms Tool seem to have in their recording space?

It's obviously a precaution in case any crazed fans manage to get in to the studio.

I ahve discovered 30 seconds to mars, they are sounding good...opinions?

I am working on a cover of Coheed and Cambria's in keeping secrets of silent earth : 3 ...but My backing track is midi drums + bass...And cool edit won't let me mix these with my guitar parts, how do I make it so it does mix?

(cool edit is an older version of adobe audition)

Yeah i suspect someone here wil be able to help :)

That's my favourite Coheed song.Good luck.

Here is the midi of drums + bass

If someone would convert it to a wav file using fruity loops or something I'd be a happy man, I have tried doing it but i suck with fruity loops and it wouldn't even play through it :(

Thats so weird. I'm just listening to that song as I read that.

30 Seconds to Mars sounded pretty average to me, trying to sound sophisticated with the strings and acoustic parts, but under it all it's just an actor trying to throw a record out. I might have to give the album another chance though.

I have a bootleg of an acoustic show they did.. It's absolutely amazing, and one of my favorite acoustic performances

*starting the thread up again*
I really don't like Coheed, but I'll admit it. That "Welcome Home" song kicks butt.


Okay, this will sound really close minded, but its pointless to have 3 guitarists in a band. Unless you perform the most technical crapolla in the world, you really don't need 3 guitarists in your band. I can see where it would possibly be necassary every now and then for a band to have a 3rd guitarist for live shows(and it better be necassary). Its just, crappy emo bands do not need 3 guitarists(I can count two or three in my area).

It just really annoys me for some reason. I know I'm being very ignorant, but I have to get that off my chest. You better be Necrophagist+Al di Meola+Opeth X 100.

Coheed stuff is pretty technical, and to my knowledge they only have 2 gutiars, well in IKSOSE3 they only have 2. This creates some great harmonies which i would show you but my comp is bieng a d!ck. Even if they aren't technical the band just may want to have a heavier sound, thicker without using loads of crappy pedals.

Oh no, I wasn't talking about Coheed. Just in general. Of course there can be layers and layers of guitars in recordings, but IMO you don't really need 3 guitarists in your band(this is really directed to these 2 emoish middle school bands in my neighborhood).

Well if you have 3 important layers in the recording and need to replicate that live then you need 3 guitars. If one played is playing lead, and the other two are playing variations of the rhythm then 3 guitarists is needed giving a cool sound.

yeah dude3, 3 guitar players is stupid.

and who is coheed? i thought i have heard of this band, it was some fat dude with high pitch vocals, please tell me this isnt the band you are talking about...

I know. It just annoys me for some reason.(Ex.Hawthorne Heights).

Hawthorne Heights are Ok :)

Yes coheed's lead singer has a very high voice.

Was it their new or their self titled album? I haven't heard their new one, but I've heard it's very different from their debut..

[QUOTE=clearvision]Hawthorne Heights are Ok :)[/QUOTE]

*sigh* if they could make a happy medium from whiny vocals and the wanna be metal scream i might listen....but as soon as i hear

/whiny voice, hardly audible
[SIZE=1]"i cant make it on my own"[/SIZE]
/hardly whiny, too audible
[SIZE=2]"BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAHBLAH BLAH BLAH BLAAAAAAH"[/SIZE]


see if they switched it around and made the BLAH part inaudible, and made the singing better i would listen

^^ if you tried to understand that,....im sorry for wasting your time :lol:

They are like a not as good alexisonfire to me. It's just good to just listen to as like background music. You can't sit there and just concentrate on the music, it isn't good enough. But yeah, i did kinda just download as many albums as i could from the pop-punk YSI thread before my holiday and i enjoyed the HH one.

Mockery indeed.

When I see those lyrics typed on usernames across this world of troubled youth known as Myspace, the only emotion I can distribute is a mixture of laughter and pain. Some may think this is anachronistic. I think its well deserved.

The album was A Beautiful Lie.

The new one is good, the cover of Bjorks hunter at the end hits the spot for me.

I'd recommend listening to their self titled debut.. Some of the lyrics are cheesy, (It's a "concept album" based on space themes).. But the songwriting is really really solid

I have both :)

I heard attack while on holiday in america, and the statin i was listening to was advertising a free concert for them...i thought they sounded ok so i downloaded both the albums. Sounds good to me :)
