Sorry guys for the lack of the updates...it's been pretty hectic and i'm sure your guys understand....
So here it goes:
We finally got to here Jared sing backup vox last week and lemme tell ya...blew us out of the fucking water man! And that was just the first go 'round!
Keep working on it Jared...it can only get better!
But needless to say...all of the practices last week were awesome! things are getting tighter and we are feeling more and more conditioned as time goes by.
On a technical note. Dave is working real close with Jared to establish/achieve a better guitar tone. When Jared first brought his new stuff to practice, we noticed right away that it was real 'muddy' sounding. Dave said it was the gauge Jareds strings at the time. So since then, Jared has taken his guitar to Gene at Crazy Kat and has had it set up with 50 Gauge strings. But David still wants him to go up to a 54 g at least! It's just more of a tension issue, and plus it makes the staccato riffs sound better and tighter. (Damn...i had to do spell check on that bitch)
Moving on:
Promos pics were cancelled. Brobee got sick and Dave and Jen had to tend to that matter first. They have been rescheduled for this weekend.
Dave and i got together last night for about an hour.
We just went down the list:
Marvel
Ranting's
Switchblade
1 open song
And that was it. David pussed out. Just kidding....I was down to ZERO sticks...so we had to stop...
Full practice on thursday.
