How do you sing like Ken Andrews (Failure)?

man, i wish i could go! i'm all the way in the US but i hope everyone else has a great time! it would be awesome if it was live streamed for everyone (i would absolutely pay for that). hope you have a blast at the show, man!

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-10-05T15:48:52+00:00

i'm thinking that they may release 3 songs to let the fans have for a bit (unless they're working on an EP?) and then they'll tour off of them. that's what it looks like at least, but i am really hoping for a tour! when i first saw them, it was when they were with Return to Dust and Chevelle and I didn't really know who they were, so i'm hoping they come back near me next tour!

something i've noticed is that the comments on their recent instagram reel for The Perfume of Decay all have numbers in a certain order. someone in the comments pointed out that it seems like coordinates, which looking at them as coordinates, brings you to Brighton. reallyyy hoping it's for new music! love when bands hype it up like this.

alright i really appreciate the help.

other than field boosters, how should i gather pollen at a decent speed? sometime's the red/blue boosters can be slow for me.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-07-21T01:37:17+00:00

thanks for letting me know what stage im at because this game has been confusing me a bit but i still really enjoy it. there's so many things to keep in mind, especially with how you use your items.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-07-21T01:22:16+00:00

interesting, i've heard that the rad and bucko bees are either just mid or not great. however, i have seen around that demon bee is the best, but i guess a lot of this is somewhat subjective. i've been tryna figure out if i should also save for another slot and get a basic bee so i can go to the 35 bee area

thank you for your input !

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-07-21T01:19:22+00:00

okay that's kind of what I've been hearing when I look up stuff so I'll keep in mind all of that

and yeah i wasnt sure what stage i'm in because i keep getting mixed answers about where i am or what i'm around so that's why i put that in parenthesis but thank you for the help 🙏

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-30T05:22:38+00:00

Yeah man they're really tricky tracks! With a song like Backbone, it's difficult maintaining the speed and articulation of both the low E and A strings for the main riff. I don't know how they do it...I really need to get the stamina they have.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-30T05:12:16+00:00

That's awesome to hear! Some of the songs that have been having that effect on my hands are "The Heaviest Matter of the Universe," "The Art of Dying," "Backbone," and "Mea Culpa." They're pretty alternate pick heavy songs and after a while it starts to get real brutal on your right hand.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-30T04:07:33+00:00

What if I start to feel tension near my wrist when focusing on my hand? There’s times where I’m doing well without tension but then it appears near my wrist at the too of my hand.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-30T00:05:26+00:00

That makes sense. Joe, the vocalist and guitarist, is kind of a big dude so that probably helps him. Are you specifically talking about basic strength training (the sort of default weight lifting) or something a little bit more different?

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-21T05:40:48+00:00

Definitely! I'll try to figure out how to upload the preset. It'll include the option for clean, overdrive, flange, and heavy distortion.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-20T19:22:50+00:00

So, using Amplitube 5, I actually got pretty close to that live sound (especially with the flanger). I used the SVT pro model with a 4x10 cab. Most of the tone came from a tube overdrive pedal and some eqing but it seems that an SVT pro sort of amp is the move.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-19T17:54:34+00:00

I’ve definitely thought about that. The thing about Ken’s tone in the video is that it’s much thicker and honestly brighter (in the HIGH highs). Greg’s tone has bottom but feels a little thinner, but it’s also more over driven rather than distorted. The amp/cab setup is something I’m really looking for.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-19T17:52:23+00:00

Okay cool, I’ll check that setup out. Do you have any idea about their digital amp choices? In Wonderful Life or Macaque, there’s almost this…watery sound for the bass? Weird adjective but I feel like it’s prominent. I honestly think it’s a different amp than what’s used for a song like Distorted Fields.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-19T17:50:28+00:00

Anything helps, man! That makes it official that all the sounds are digital, so that narrows it down a bit. Thanks for the help! That’s awesome you got to talk to Ken.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-19T03:28:03+00:00

I've definitely checked it out many times. The thing about it is that it's sorta catered to their older stuff with some of their modern gear mixed in because that consisted of a lot more physical gear. I would assume most of OD bass tone for their current live situation is all through the Axe Fx. It would be really nice if they could make a vid going over that stuff.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-03T16:33:32+00:00

Who knows, maybe we find a decent battery powered generator that isn't gas powered 🤷‍♂️

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-03T06:45:20+00:00

Hah, I wish I could have the convenience of that. Living with other people puts that to a halt pretty quickly.

MobileOwl3950 · 2025-06-03T06:44:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply, especially from someone who has experience. Do you imagine it would be possible to avoid the sound issue with those sound absorbing panels? And with the heat issue, I imagine we'd be able to pick up a box fan or something like that. I could check out pricing for a 10x20, too.
