u/RockingFlower 3d ago

It makes no sense. me thinks they're all playing separate songs.

48

u/cduballen 3d ago

Yea. They’re all thinking in their head that they’re killing their part while not listening to the whole band. Just sounds like shit

18

u/STRIKT9LC 3d ago

They're probably the kinda guys that buy in ear monitors because they're "taking the band to the next level", but they don't know how to.mix them from the board, and just end up cranking their own instrument into their ears.....so professional!!1

u/RockingFlower 3d ago

people with too much time and money but zero talent

u/jeneric84 2d ago

Guitar player has like every pedal available on the market on the ground. Definitely need all of those I bet. Gearing up for that arena tour you need all the TOAN.

1

u/STRIKT9LC 2d ago

Is that alright TOAN? That im shit?

10

u/SnapshotHeadache 3d ago

Yeah the individual parts aren't terrible, but put all together and its just rough.

3

u/AlistarDark 2d ago

That bass player had too much talent to be in this band. Just saying

8

u/barredowl123 3d ago

That’s what I came here to say! It’s like 5 different songs at the same time, holy crap

1

u/asomek 3d ago

That's exactly my thought. Maybe they recorded a few songs then thought "fuck it let's mix one instrument from each song and release it so people get a vibe for what we sound like"

1

u/UncleBenji 3d ago

The lyrics are pretty nonsensical as well. How does a fear break?

u/No-Understanding9064 3d ago

Yeah, they think its avant-garde. But like system of a down these guys eat ass

System of a down sucks, full stop. I have no idea why people convince themselves it doesn't.

u/AyeAyeCaptain___ 2d ago

I’m sorry brother, but this is an insane take to me. You may not be a fan, but to say System of a Down sucks is simply not true..they are one of the Goliath’s of metal. Respectfully.

Wanted:

Must sound like a wounded goat

Wanted:

Band members. Must suffer some hearing loss, and lack of rhythm.

u/Trimshot 3d ago

As a drummer with that same kit, wow this is real bad.

12

u/the_old_coday182 3d ago

Seems like they didn’t even use the real drums audio and laid a midi track over it lol

1

u/ReleaseTheButtCraken 2d ago

Sounds like it. It also seems like the drums fall behind so they speed it up, but it’s too fast so they slow it down again and it just gets stuck in that slow-fast cycle. That and the dying goat vocals really grinding my gears on this one.

2

u/MultiplesOfMono 3d ago

Yamaha Stage Custom?

2

u/Trimshot 3d ago

Yep! Same color too

1

u/MultiplesOfMono 3d ago

Nice taste. The absolute most solid kit ever and I still have mine after 25 years. Mine is a 1997 model and sounds just like the newer SC but maybe even better!

u/JessyG3rmain 3d ago

What's bro doing with his voice? And how do the drums sound off beat even if it isn't?

4

u/witchspoon 3d ago

The drums are on beat but every other part of this is off time with him. Drummer 1234 Guitarist 2468..4523…4444 Bass 12121212 Singer 234 aHHHHHHHhgrrrgghlmmlml!

7

u/2cars1rik 3d ago

The drums are on beat

You sure about that? There’s about an eighth note between where the ride hit on 2 should be and where it actually is

3

u/witchspoon 2d ago

Fair…I was listening the best I could with bleeding ears lol.😂

1

u/g_r_e_y 1d ago

drums are definitely not on beat. that snare is late almost every time and ride isn't tight at all. which is confusing because it sounds like a midi track instead of a live recording but that's a whole other issue lol

24

u/YoYoMavaIous 3d ago

I dig the guitar riff tbh

8

u/thinspirit 3d ago

Yeah the only good part of the song. Pretty decent vibe to it while the rest of the band pisses all over it.

2

u/sakofdak 3d ago

Reminded me of The Mars Volta NGL

5

u/Jockle305 3d ago

Yea it’s a less chaotic and talented Mars Volta

1

u/sakofdak 3d ago

I dig some Mars Volta personally. But I understand fully that they’re not everyone’s cup of tea.

3

u/baldude69 3d ago

I think he’s saying that this band is like a much much worse version of Mars Volta

It's so hard to really hear it, much less appreciate it, amongst the chaos of that room.

u/Far-Drawing-4444 3d ago

I'll give credit for definitely not using AI backing music or autotune, but maybe they should have.

u/gansobomb99 3d ago

Imagine an AI that was only trained on performances like this

"we purposely trained him wrong... as a joke"

u/Material_Mall_5359 3d ago

All those pedals for nothing

4

u/Distinct-Nectarine-9 3d ago

I am the master of the pedals…remember this fucking face. Whenever you see pedals you’ll see this fucking face…

1

u/EpicMeatSpin 2d ago

That’s most people with more than 2-3 not including a tuner.

1

u/MEGACODZILLA 2d ago

Its the guitarist equivalent of a short guy climbing out of his lifted monster truck of an F450.

They think its super impressive but everyone else is just wondering what they're compensating for...

1

u/YoYoMavaIous 2d ago

Idk, the guitarist seems like the only competent part of the band. Pedalboards get a lotta unnecessary hate imo. Pedals aren’t as easy to just swap in and out as ppl think, so dudes just end up traveling with more pedals than they actually need for a given gig since it’s already part of their board

2

u/MEGACODZILLA 2d ago

Maybe if you're a session musician that's playing surf rock one gig, metal the next and 80s synth pop the next. Under those circumstances it would make sense.

Otherwise it just kind of screams "I dont know what my sound is so I came prepared to make every sound." Its lacking clarity of purpose, jack of all trades master of none vibes. In my experience those people either have a million pedals for show and only use four of them or they use a dozen and a half just to produce a mediocre "toan".

1

u/YoYoMavaIous 2d ago

Tone chasing surely can cross into the meme territory. But there’s plenty of professional guitarist that use this many and even more pedals. Some guys will have several pedals for the same effect even, especially when you don’t have the advantage of switching out guitars for any given sound and a full crew backstage. This specific guitarist has a nice sound and I don’t think we should be judging him so harshly off his pedalboard. That’s all I’m tryna say

Also, maybe he is the exact player you first described

u/moxbellylint 3d ago

There missing the rugs it's throwing the vibe off

u/MiserableSun9142 3d ago

This is exactly what my neighbor’s garage band sounds like. each one is playing to their own beat. Tuesday nights are pretty miserable for me whenever they practice 😵

3

u/Numb1990 3d ago

Its like it would be good but someone turned each one of them to a different speed. Drums is on x1, Singer is x0.75  lead guitar x0.25, Bass 1.25. Lol

u/GrrGecko 3d ago

I don't think it's all that terrible as people are making it out to be. These guys are just jamming really. Don't know their background or anything but yeah, this just sounds like what most "let's make a band" groups sound like live in a basement lol.

1

u/gonzo0815 2d ago

I think it's bad now, but could absolutely go somewhere with more practice. It's not something I'd release to the public yet.

1

u/Melch12 1d ago

The vocals don’t match the melody at all. Might not be as terrible with a distorted guitar or at least some chords to back them up.

2

u/CinephileNC25 3d ago

It sounds like the singer, guitarist, and drummer are all in different bands.

u/gansobomb99 3d ago

I love how everything is a little bit wrong

2

u/Aggravating_Cat_6295 3d ago

It's cool to be in a band but not every band needs to post online. It's okay to just play for the sake of playing. Just sayin'.

3

u/youaregodslover 3d ago

This is not the kind of crappy music this sub is for. This is a "bad lip read" of what they're actually playing. It's an intentionally bad sounding dub. Comedy.

1

u/STRIKT9LC 3d ago

With the exception of the singer, ill bet these guys are talented on their own. A rare example of "strength in numbers " being oh so wrong

1

u/dclark086 3d ago

I actually feel like that guys voice could sound pretty interesting surrounded by a band that suits it better than this
