Man. Myles is really aging quick the last few years.

[cheesedip1]

I mean, he is 52.

that's how it works

New single this friday, anyone stoked?

[fix]

This Friday? Noice!

As for the acoustic performance, that would've been better if they'd record the guitars properly lol.

Straight into the microphones you mean? If you're doing a press tour like this you wanna travel light so you generally plug your electro acoustic into whatever PA is available at the venue, I don't think they would bother micing them up.

I keep chuckling at the comment about drinking beer and protective masks Like many of us Myles seemed to stop the hair dye during lock down, embracing maturity! He's clearly working with his voice these days too, which should give us more years of good live performance. I enjoy reading the hype and speculation on this thread... roll on 14th Oct. Can't wait!

The new single wasn't supposed to be released this thursday?

The new single wasn't supposed to be released this thursday?

It was rumored by a source on Reddit that has leaked other stuff in the past - artwork, single releases, etc. Never confirmed for this week.

On genius it says the 8th. It’s been right every time.

Happy birthday to me then

[joshuabeau]

Oh man this intro is groovy!!

[joshuabeau]

Finally some Mark backing vocals!

[joshuabeau]

Another song where Myles uses Messiah. Lol

[Whitebird]

Hmm I don’t like this new song, at first listen at least, it sounds too Tremontish to me and I don’t know, I just don’t like it

Ps: Nothing wrong about Tremonti of course, but I don’t know I just can’t listen to it as an AB song, weird.

[joshuabeau]

Well, Mark did write the song. Myles only wrote the vocal melody so, could be why.

[maximzub]

Well, I guess I'm staying up until 11 again tonight.

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

Questions for those of you who've heard the song already; Is there any guitar solos? Does the riff in the iTunes preview pretty much make up the whole song or does it change in the bridge/outro? I assume the iTunes preview is the ending of the intro, first verse, first chorus?

From the preview I do like finally hearing some strong backing vocals from Mark on "for way too long!" and the main riff is alright, but nothing super amazing. Myles seems like he sounds nice vocally in this song tho.

[Dolo]

Another song where Myles uses Messiah. Lol

Is he 'denying' anything again as well?

[joshuabeau]

There’s a solo going into the bridge and then the outro, but it’s not much.

No denying, if I recall, Dolo.
