Technical questions for band

Post by crostrato » Thu Jun 16, 2011 1:03 am

So , as title says, this is topic with only tehnical questions for band of course, about there equipment, there playing, ect, ect.

So my first question is; why you guys dont use in-ear monitor sistem, this always interested me, because almost all big bands passed over on in-ear monitoring? Matias, Jens ;) ????

Don´t know about the others but I like it better without. Feels more natural and you get a more rockin´ mood going. I don´t mind using in-ear monitoring in a more mellow situation such as playing something more acoustic, for metal i prefer oldschool...

LOUD!!!

You guys don't play to a click track live? That's what Jorg is for.

Yep Jorg is what I like to call him the "human metronome" I dont think I have ever heard/seen a drummer with the precision and timing that Jorg has. He is like the Michael Romeo of drums, he has ultimate timing.

Why don't you just marry him, if you like him so much? :roll:

Aye. Foods rich in insoluble fiber such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains have been clinically proven to reduce the risk of heart disease, promote healthy lifestyles, and make it really easy to take a shit.

In scientific experiments, Cheerios cereal can reduce the risk of heart attacks. The only side effect is its bee allergen.

I want to ask why you guys don't use the backing vocals track on songs like Hunting High and Low anymore. I liked it a lot more. Not that your backing vocals are bad, I just love the original backing vocals on HHaL.

All that bumpiness in my bum-bum! :roll: It shall not do. :buh:

In any case, if we must continue to discuss dung, contemplate crap, postulate on poop or otherwise formulate our feelings on feces, let's exchange knowing nods and smiles. Nonverbal communication- something just between the two of us.

"Our eyes met across the room. She knew I had to go. I had no doubt myself that she had to poop. We didn't breathe a word between us but still somehow shared a stunning spiritual solidarity. I pulled my lucky toilet-paper roll out of my back pocket (provides cushoning when I sit, plus it makes logical sense to keep it near my posterior orifice at all times). I slipped it ever so gently into her purse, and she gracefully glided across the room to conduct her business." :)

Did you use braille or not? I am getting barely tolerant about those reButtals of yours. :roll:

I'm quite surprised by the answer. Most of musicians prefer ear-monitoring. I would suggest it because it improves the front sound and also it is very helpful for vocalists

I decided to go with Ethernet instead. Now, I wouldn't call putting an RJ45 cable into my most tender bodily cavity a positive experience, but it wasn't entirely unpleasant either. Anything that can establish a line of communication between my cohorts and my crap is a worthy investment. :)

No no no! :shake: While being modern about cavital communication, you forget the true meaning of shit-exploration. There are some that still prefer a DIRECT exchange of ideas with something sacred as our excretions. With the hands. There lies the most sensitive part of our skin. How many sensations do we miss! when we try to understand things from the cellulitical arthery-clogged perspective of the internet.

I think there is still hope. One day, societies will embrace and accept the hidden values of the hand stethoscope when pressed against the pale chest of our collective common excretions. It will happen. Worldwide, the steady hearbeat of shit will roar on every ceruminous gland that exists.

And. Weren´t we speaking apples just a moment ago? :)

I believe we have found the key to the universe!! :jump:
Apparently, its not love. Its shit. Who would have guessed? :buh:

We must create a special United Nations envoy to collect shit-samples in every home, in every country, going door to door. If a person flatly denies the request, they have full authority to extract a specimen by force through means of a rigorous high-fiber diet and a pair of rubber gloves.

Once a formidable shit-log is assembled from every community, from every home, representing every ethnicity, race, creed, and sexual orientation, they must be mixed together in a giant clay pot. An artistic metaphor for the melting pot of the global "internet age". As our cold, stale, week-old shits blend together into a rich, creamy, savory puree, perhaps our differences too will melt. Global understanding! Harmony! Peace!

I also think it would be fun to make the citizens of earth drink the shit-soup, but I haven't found an eloquent justification for it. We can just add "United Nations Shit Soup" to the USDA Food Pyramid and a few suckers will go for it. HAHAHAHA!! :lol:

True, but I think it is no problem at all to enrich your performance with some technical stuff if it sounds cool. And IMO it sounded much better with the tape, than with the live backing vocals.
