@TheLibertybellz I've heard that there are shows where members of the band are too drunk to play up to their normal standards. Obviously that takes away from the stage presence.
Manchester is one of my favorite bands, and has been for a while. But Chris barely does anything in this band. It seems like one of those cases when you start a band with your buddies and you have that one close friend who just isn't really good or as good at an instrument so you give him the whole keys/percussion/back up vocals position...
I see conversation about imperfection. It doesn't matter. They capture a sound an emotion and a massive sound in their performances. If I basically want perfection, I'll listen to the record. Fantastic performance. Watch "The River" right after. It's ridiculous.
Haha there is no quiet way to play the drums but the parents must have regretted it when they bought that drummer his first drum kit! He really goes for it.
i wish all music was recorded with sound like this. the voices are slightly out, the guitars have got that 'live' bite, the drums are crushing. love it. long live imperfection.
@shootingrock The imperfection is what makes manchester great. This band is so natural and real, unlike so many groups these days that autotune the crap out of their voices and even pitch correct their instruments. Not to mention that Andy Hull is an incredible songwriter as is.
i am really trying to see them april 3rd at the trop in philly...they are currently my fav band...1st heard the song i've got friends and i loved it and every song from them after that
It's used as a filler. They do it to keep him from playing louder then necessary in the softer parts (compensation). It also helps out in recording because it allows the drums to sound more full in their tone, instead of sounding like they are off in the distance or on one side of the room and just projecting.
This method is sometimes used to keep down the digitized effects that would be needed to render the correct sound. It allows them to sound similar recorded and live.
fuck me! i heard about this band yesterday, and i was blown away. im into stuff like biffy clyro, and it would seem this stuff, the albums amazing :O:O:O
yeaah he does.. but nobody hits the drums as hard as PATRICK CARNEY from the black keys!!!!!! the dude is sick!!!... by the way they are both awesome bands.
yea he always looks depressed lol i met him once and said to him use were amazing and he said thanks man in a happy voice, so maybe its just wen hes onstage lol
