But, like, you've done all of it with a serious intent of making music?

You mean they were programmed? What does it mean they were done in post?

I don't know who mixed this, but he did not do a good job: Stapp's vocals are shockingly buried in the mix, and the drums are way too loud (which, as you all know, is also the case with most Elvis Baskette projects). The whole thing is not pleasing for the ears, which is surprising since the 2019 a...

You should come to Poland, mate.

Cheers mate, although I don't like it that much myself haha. I preferred City Burials.

No reason at all actually, it's just the way I put it in the sheet

My list so far, green ones are done, white ones still to go.

I hope so! Thanks so much!

Turning the dreaded 30 in 5 days.

Are we talking one change per album or per the whole discography? In case of the former: Blackbird: replace 'Break Me Down' with 'New Way To Live' The Last Hero: get rid of 'You Will Be Remembered' Walk the Sky: remove 'The Bitter End' and 'Tear Us Apart' Pawns & Kings: drop "Season of Prom...

I had no idea that Imbruglia's version is a cover:

It's already 10:30 EST time, I don't think the announcement is coming today (if at all).

I have a question. Why is this the last leg of the tour? Historically, they would run until October, November, even December. They would hit Europe 3 times instead of 2. They would hit places outside of Europe and North America. Why end the tour so soon? What are they gonna do for the rest of the y...

I personally don't understand Tool. Some of it is good. The Pot is a fantastic song, but most of it to me just sounds plodding and repetitive. I even saw them live and it did nothing for me. I have to agree with you. The only full song I've heard is Schism, which I thought was boring. I heard a sni...

Half of what you said has to do with your personal experiences and the mentality of the people within those bands when the overratedness comes down to how much the public hypes up the artist based on the music itself. Falling in Reverse using backing tracks is a topic for a completely different disc...

I would definitely put Nirvana, RHCP and Slayer in the overrated camp. RATM and Oasis basically created new genres so they deserve a credit for that. Muse are very popular but they keep on changing their sound and I respect that. Imagine Dragons get a lot of shit, especially in the rock and metal co...

If we don't count the European tour in 2020 being cancelled due to covid, I swear I remember one occasion, when they cancelled a show in Denmark in 2007/2008. There was a guy on this board that was in a local band that was going to support AB then and he was absolutely heartbroken.

Does anyone have their CD jewel cases anymore? I moved and remembered I've got a big box full of CD jewel cases/CDs. I haven't used a CD in years, don't imagine I will in the future, but throwing them out feels like throwing out a collection spanning several decades. I used to have a shitload of th...

Katana has totally dominated the market. I hear the Mk.II is super versatile. It definitely has. It allows you to record the signal straight via USB into your DAW and that's what got me into recording stuff that I had been stockpiling for years. The BOSS Tone Centre software is also great, you can ...
