The Little Things in "Dust"

Post by SHEAKENBAKEN »

A companion thread to "The Little Things In Cauterize" made by Duane, this is for all the little things in Dust. The little things you appreciate in the songs individually or in the album as a whole.

To list a few:

Wolfie's bass in Tore My Heart Out in the verses from 0:31-0:34 for example
Wolfie's bass in Catching Fire in the verses from 1:28-1:37
Wolfie's bass in Once Dead from 1:53-1:55 before Erocks solo
The note at 0:11 in Rising Storm before the vocals kick in
The bluesy lead lick in the outro of Betray Me from 3:54-3:57
The Bass note in The Cage at 0:03
The cymbal hit in The Cage at 0:55 before the chorus kicks in

I love the outro of Betray Me where it sounds like the riff (and therefore the song) is over, but then it's like, "NO JUST KIDDING" and comes in with that even heavier riff to end off the song. Bad. Ass.

I'll think of more as I listen more but GW's drumming on Once Dead. Hell, the entire album. He's a freaking machine!

End of the second chorus of Once Dead, some higher register guitar parts.
Catching Fire intro, you hear some very haunting natural harmonics with tremolo work, mainly audible during the "you just let it go" part before the chorus kicks in.

Do my solo-senses tingle in the mid section of Once Dead? Sounds like an Erock solo to me.

Definitely an Erock Solo. The little part at 2:07-2:09 in the solo gave it away from me. I've heard Erock do that live before i'm 99% positive. Plus that little bit kind of reminded me of Myles' solo styling (maybe that's where I've heard it before? :headscratch :lol and Erock is like the Myles of Tremonti so...)

Yeah I feel like Erock is what Myles would sound like with less restraint... and if you take away the jazz influence.

Anyone spotting any other Erock solos on this? (the lick after the first chorus of Tore My Heart Out doesn't count.

:lol What I meant was is that he's the rhythm guitarist still and mostly does the texture stuff like how Myles does with AB, doesn't he?

No, he doesn't have any other solos on Dust I believe,

I really like the bass all throughout Never Wrong. That's some good stuff.

I like that part when Mark sings and plays some guitar.

Second prechorus of TMHO has some bends on the background which sound pretty weird but in a good way, around the 02:30 mark, sounds awesome!

The bass run before the second chorus in Dust gets me every time
