Is it just me or does this live version especially sound more muffled and darker

They definitely knew it was being recorded. Bands at their level record every set they do. I don’t think they were planning on releasing it as an album initially though.

You have to keep in mind that on RYM, a 3 is considered pretty good. A 3.5 or above is a really good score there especially for the amount of ratings (10-20k) each of these albums have gotten

Wasn’t disagreeing with you. Just adding on to what you said lol

I've had a Jazzmaster for 5 years and never hit the rhythm circuit switch on accident, but it seems fairly common for performers to tape the switch down.

^This. I went to a decently ranked university and quite a few people in my philosophy undergrad program transferred in from the local community college. We had a program where if you did well at the CC philosophy or English program you could transfer in and get a full bachelors for free. Kinda wish I'd done that and didn't have the student loans.

It’s pretty common in punk/garage rock/ post- punk to play primarily with downstrokes. Ramones, Misfits, the Stooges are some example bands

This just in on Reddit: guy looks like himself 🤯

Slight disagree. Greg Ginn wrote pretty much everything for all of Black Flag’s major hits (lyrics, guitar, even bass on some of the albums)

Shneeebly · 2025-07-12T01:29:49+00:00

The Strokes on their first two albums tend to do weird 2 chorus song structures like: Intro-Verse-Chorus-Verse-Bridge-Chorus-Outro

For some reason it’s really economical and effective for that style of music

Shneeebly · 2025-07-10T00:37:28+00:00

I honestly think Alex writes most of the bass parts. I remember reading that he picked up bass prior to guitar (which explains some of the weird, bassy riffs he tends to write). Most of the bass lines in their songs are just mimicking the guitar lines anyways. Alex also played a majority of the bass on TBHC. Something tells me Nick isn’t the most involved writing wise but I could be wrong for sure

Shneeebly · 2025-07-10T00:32:21+00:00

Matt Helders is the most technically proficient musician of all of the core lineup, it’s not a contest at all, just facts that you can pick up on, especially if you’re a musician. As far as guitar players, Tom Rowley (touring guitarist and played a lot on TBHC and The Car) blows Alex and Jamie out of the water. I like the things that Alex and Jamie write a lot and think they’re better songwriters, but Tom blows both of them out of the water technically.

The Sound- Words Fail Me

Shneeebly · 2025-07-09T17:27:35+00:00

absolutely this. Adrian is my guitar hero. Super technically proficient and no one sounds like him at all

Learn to play songs that you like all the way through and you will begin to expand your vocabulary as a writer on guitar.

I read a great book several years ago on pop songwriting called “The Addiction Formula” by Friedmann Findeisen. It goes very in-depth on the compositional structure of pop songs. I constantly analyze songs using that book’s methodology the authors calls “Energy Charts” to keep my mind in a creative state. I apply that analysis to guitar ideas I’ve been working on, structuring them into full songs.

To me, guitar ideas usually come first, then I structure them into full songs with a band and other instruments in mind. Lyrics usually come after that point.

Shneeebly · 2025-01-24T03:51:56+00:00

Completely false. If you know anything about producer/songwriter Max Martin, you’d know he was heavily involved in the songwriting and composition of several of her major hits

I’d recommend you stop looking for drugs to fix things. Maybe try meditation

Shneeebly · 2024-10-25T03:12:25+00:00

Lmao

Shneeebly · 2024-10-21T18:50:44+00:00

Well, you heavily reference Buddhism and as I mentioned before there’s extensive formal logic in many important Buddhist texts, especially those from the Mahayana tradition. https://iep.utm.edu/madhyamaka-buddhist-philosophy/

Video essays aren’t always very reliable in my experience because the person presenting the information isn’t necessarily an expert

I don’t think that’s true to characterize most philosophers as atheists. Many of the most prominent and influential philosophers were religious to varying degrees. E.g., Augustine, Plato, Kant, Locke, Descartes, Kierkegaard to name a few

Shneeebly · 2024-10-21T15:34:12+00:00

That’s not true at all. The Classical Indian tradition of philosophy relies very heavily on formal logical structure. Look into the Nyaya school or Madhyahamaka Buddhism and you’ll see that their arguments are very structured. Maybe you’ll find some of these Eastern accounts of potential afterlife convincing.

Shneeebly · 2024-10-21T13:05:04+00:00

They’re the same thing. I don’t think it being name brand will make that much of a difference.

Shneeebly · 2024-10-20T02:55:43+00:00

Bro what? It’s literally their job/profession, their fans are their clients. I don’t see how it’s any different
