me too. |
who's that other guitar player?
josh Homme is looking like he's cleaned his life up a bit. (at least from all the rumors, it seemed he wasn't on a good path)
is QotS still active?

Oh man I can't wait to hear the album! J, as far as I know QOTSA are definitely still going! I saw them twice last year and they had some stuff I'd never heard before (could have been B-sides from Era Vulgaris though I guess.) Anyway didn't Josh Homme produce the latest Arctic monkeys album? |
Yes he did. I'll tell you, I'm really looking forward to hearing this whole album. All three of these guys are powerhouses.

Kinda redefine Jazz Rock.Not so much QUOTSA in it.
Can't wait to hear the record too.
I was a bit sad to see Alain Johannes. Don't get me wrong, he was really great on stage, but you could feel he'd been thru a lot of pain lately. Not the man I had seen 3 years ago.
He still have all my thoughts.

It's a cool recording, too -- some nice nods to classic sounds without getting into 'cover engineering' territory.

Totally fine on my large tower speaker set up at home, but it's wearing my ears out real fast right now.
Regardless, the songs are great.

Amazing variety of sounds and textures accross all the songs.

Yo Seb, I talked to Alain after the show he was in good spirits as much as one could be - Truly a fantastic musician.

Good to read that

And yes it sounds like real drum to me, Dave Grohl's kick drum have a "bouncy" tick that you can hear on any record or live show he plays. Funny, it brings back to a recent thread about in and out kick mics. this album is the perfect balance to me.
On record, the "psyched" aspect of the band really jumps out to my ears and I dig it. "Bandoliers" is a damn good track.

Sound like it's been squished...I think probably everything I don't like about this album is due to limiting. It's like playing hunt the snare sometimes...
Still, the sounds are amazing and the space and depth is f***ing awesome. Really good production and musicianship going on...I really like this album.

This seems a little contradictory. Sounds too squished... Yet has lots of space and depth?
Explain.

)I saw the Vultures out here in Melbourne a while back, and it was an AWESOME show. As per the other comments, Dave was definitely the highlight for me and his live sounds were pretty much what you expect to hear after the album (not sure, but a rack of Distressors looked to be his). The rest of the band were also great, and being a QOTSA fan also it was sort of nice seeing Josh up front but not being 'the main guy'.
Best rock album and show I've heard for a long time.

Sorry, I didn't word that very well! In terms of space and depth I'm talking about ambience. I like that you can really hear the room and the positions of the instruments. The use of more ambient micing techniques makes a nice change from the real in your face sound that seems to dominate most modern rock records. Definitely the arrangements too, it's been cleverly put together.
What I mean by squished is that it sounds to me like things are being clamped down on a little hard. The snare in certain parts for example, but it doesn't exactly make me wrinkle my nose

And I also agree that it does sound a bit more squashed than I would have liked, dynamics wise.

Grohl's Kick: We did use a lot of room mics but they changed from song to song, every track had a different approach to the drum sound. I used a Beyer on the close kick (an M380 I think) and on quite a few a very old Altec mic that was big and heavy and had very little output level that was about 4 foot away and put through an Ampex mic pre which also had low level so I had to turn it up to a level it distorted on the input but we were trying to be creative! On some tracks we sent the kick out to a tiny amp that was pretty distorted. I used a lot of different room mics that helped with the decay of the kick too.... I think it may have been the sum of them all that resulted in the end product. In general, I don't have any specific tips with outside mics, I never measure distances or anything. I tend to get try and use something different as much as possible and if the studio has a mic that looks interesting I'll put it up and see what it sounds like, then move it around until it sounds good. The more bored I get, the more adventurous the mic placement! Best. Alan. |
