the reason that this dont have a talk box and the messy sound, is because the FF didnt have a rehearsal for this song or any song. this was like a facebook thing with the people calling the song and the FF playing as requested
But to be fair, so is the rest of that album (there is nothing left to lose)
Ain't It The Life, Summers End, February Stars ...I love their chilled songs as much as I love the thrash the fuck out style songs like Monkey Wrench and All My Life.
I think he only used the talk box back when they were supporting the single/album. Or at least in the videos I've seen, back then was the only time he used it.
@KutaniCrane He uses mesa boogie triple rectifier? amps i think. They're really good amps and quite expensive aswell. Not to sure though, i think he used to use mesa boogies but he could have changed to god knows what by now xD
@KutaniCrane sounds like he's got a phaser on the clean parts, but as Fabcfab said they def. do use Mesa Boogie amps, specifically RoadKings I believe. Plus Dave uses humbucking guitars almost exclusively, esp. his signature which is based off a Gibson Trini Lopez semi-hollow. Big warm tone through that thing I'm sure.
i think everyone here needs to watch the interview that dave did before they played this, it is on youtube and it explains there changing sound from his point of view
Dont forget the new version of Everlong which sounds a capella and uses an accoustic guitar, Its worst in my opinion. i think the first version is better ... by far.
Why is everyone being so negative about this still awesome band? Not every song has to be a number one hit. Can't they be given space to experiment like Rush and other older bands were, because if they made albums that sounded exactly the same year after year you would moan even more, probably commenting on how they were scared on branching out and trying new stuff.
it does. but its still not the same awesomeness... im sick of people saying that its still them and theyre evolving or whatever. i wouldnt mind that at all. but theyre changing entirely...
15 years on the go it would be ridiculous to stick to one branch of music, any musician would want to branch out and trying different styles of music simple as. It's not as if they are producing bad music now it's still of high quality.
quality has nothing to do with it. it could be recorded on an mp3 from the pawn shop and as long as i could sense to Foo Fighters in it, it would be awesome. but those two new songs are so off. its not the same sound. and im not talking about genre. I dont feel the same foo fighter vibe they use to have. it was even in ESPG. but not in these. Word Forward kinda has it. but its so boring...
I think they had to change though, dave can't do the silky smooth voice with the screaming bits anymore - and he can't reach the same high notes either. I still like FF, but I agree, for me I enjoy their earlier songs more.
yeah i know what you mean. its just before, i wish they weren't gonna take a break... and now i hear these two new songs, and i kinda wish they had taken 10 years off... i knew eventually they would change. but i hoped it would still sound like them.
I cant be more agree with you. I dont know why they (Foo Fighters) dont see it. They become famous with this kind of songs, this kind of sound. In the way to becoming more popular, they change their style for bad. I see those times so for from now.
i just dont like the way theyre playing now. all their stuff sounds different, yes, but they have that foo fighter atmosphere and feeling... this new stuff doesnt. im just waiting till it passes and they move on to something more awesome of just as awesome as their old stuff
