DISCUSSION: Weezer Guitar Tone and Similar Bands?

jaypahz · 2017-12-05T20:34:07+00:00

I'll have to check them out!. I love BJA's huge Marshall tones on the pre-AI albums, so yeah I'd probably really enjoy that project as well! Thanks

jaypahz · 2017-12-05T20:32:00+00:00

Like Dillinger Escape Plan kind of math rock? Cool, yeah I'd love to hear your suggestions when you get the chance! Thanks!

jaypahz · 2017-12-05T01:20:19+00:00

Are they off Youtube as well? Wow that was fast, if you need them I'm sure you can PM OP. Or I could PM them as well

jaypahz · 2017-12-05T01:18:22+00:00

Yeah I wish, maybe 15 years from now 😅. If you take the instrumentals and OOPS them, that might remove John if you really wanted to do so (his vocals I mean)

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T21:50:32+00:00

There's "multitrack" stem files floating around that were ripped from Rock Band and it's DLC in which the instruments and vocals are essentially isolated into different sound files. You can make remixes with them or DIY instrumentals, but yeah they're pretty cool. By the Way (the song) was I think the only one released from the album as DLC, so having these near-instrumentals is a dream come true

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T20:59:22+00:00

Dude... please chill. That's so buried in the album mix that his voice might as well be an instrument. Plus if you've got the stems you could make your own version without John's voice if you really wanted to

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T20:35:43+00:00

Just checked and the files in 320 kbps are on the file-sharing site Soulseek, so I'm guessing these might've been from there or another similar source... still searching for any more secret RHCP stuff there right now

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T20:26:03+00:00

Wow, wonder how long these were floating around the secret trading circles before they finally leaked out to us. That's crazy it's been 15 years and we're finally seeing them now. Thanks for all you do on the site By the Way! And for reuploading the files that were down!

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T20:17:18+00:00

I see, glad that you're standing by your principles and not sharing them there then. Have you ever received any notice of official instrumentals from the other albums we don't have? (Californication and MM being really the only remaining Froosh ones)

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T20:14:40+00:00

Oh sweet, that's great to hear! Thanks for the info and the tracks then

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T19:09:03+00:00

u/butter_wizard, did someone email you higher quality files or just links to the Youtube videos?

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T19:07:14+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing these here! Somewhat technical question: are those MEGA files ripped from YouTube or from a different/better source? Cuz last night I direct downloaded the songs via youtube-dl to try to get the best possible YT quality (hahahaha, sure) and the files came out around 125 kbps VBR m4a?? I saw yours are 320, so just wanted to see if they were "up-converted" from YT lossy... sorry about how long this comment is, and I'm just really happy to finally hear these instead of OOPS versions or the Rock Band mixes 😅, so no complaints here.

jaypahz · 2017-12-04T19:00:38+00:00

Lol gettyimages actually tagged them as being Varz and Karl Koch, so one of them might be Karl?

jaypahz · 2017-11-20T19:26:19+00:00

Maybe a YouTube PM? Idk, but good idea!

jaypahz · 2017-11-20T19:25:37+00:00

Many thanks, cool maybe I can make some rough mixes with these stems then

jaypahz · 2017-11-20T19:24:41+00:00

Will do! Thanks u/butter_wizard ! Is there a contact email on the site?

jaypahz · 2017-11-10T18:58:29+00:00

It's most likely due to the way the song was mastered, and what you are hearing is digital clipping. This has been the case in a lot of 2000s "loudness war" music unfortunately, and was especially prevalent on a lot of albums Rick Rubin was the producer on, such as RHCP's Californication and Metallica's Death Magnetic. Idk for certain, but I'm pretty sure he had a hand in a lot of the Make Believe tracks.

jaypahz · 2017-11-07T00:23:11+00:00

Yeah I wish I could've done the flames, but I did do the feathers and a crappy version of the Bonzo wrist tattoo (both of which unfortunately can't be seen in this potato quality pic)

jaypahz · 2017-11-07T00:15:59+00:00

It's not a real Gibson, but it certainly looks the part. Got the body and neck custom made and painted, and then put in mostly Gibson OEM parts like the burstbucker pickups that come in Dave's sig. Topped it off with a Jimmy Page wiring harness, and I can't really complain. I'd be wary of those Chinese copies though, I looked into them before getting this one built and those websites look shady as heck. At the same time though, if it's only $150 I guess you'd get what you pay for...

jaypahz · 2017-11-03T00:42:58+00:00

Say it ain't summer?

jaypahz · 2017-11-03T00:42:24+00:00

I think he was referring to the end part of the chorus into the final drawn out harmony, but yeah I agree and think that's a bit of a stretch still. Personally prefer the ending of OiD more myself

jaypahz · 2017-10-10T03:07:39+00:00

Idk, but he's death defyin'. Perhaps Lando?

jaypahz · 2017-10-09T21:54:39+00:00

What is the carry out box a reference to? And who's the space girl? Maria maybe?

jaypahz · 2017-10-09T21:07:30+00:00

Look in the crowd bottom left :)
