Actually, it's really hard to do while singing, and he does it because it allows him to hit different notes. Read in a magazine that like 70% of the time he has his tongue out like that.
yeah and also in an interview jeff was like its really hard to back up sing for him because it sounds like 3 different people sing. prolly cause his tounge
this is one of my favorite Say Anything songs... but it sounds so rough acoustic. I don't think Max has a very "acoustic" type voice...acoustic makes me think "soft" he's far from soft. Good but far from soft..lol
Because bass is a silly instrument for people who can't be bothered learning to play guitar, and was only ever useful for old skool hip hop and punk bands. :)
well...not when its acoustic. you cant even hear it. in recorded music yeah without a bass you would deffinitly miss it. doesnt matter the genre. kinda just shows you dont have an ear for music, ask any musician a bass is one of the key things.
I've started playing guitar when I was 8, I think a have a little ear for music. And guitars will always win over any other instrument because you can never hear a bass solo and think ''God that was beautiful.'' No other instrument will ever win over a guitar because no other instrument, especially not bass, has the same moving impact a really great guitar solo can have on you.
Maybe you have an ear for music, but you are showing ignorance with what you say, because if you knew what you were talking about the bass compliments anything a guitar does...ever heard of backbone? Without it there would be no substance, HOLLOW if you will. Besides that, there have been many dominant bass parts that make the guitar part secondary. Broaden your horizons girl.
A song wouldn't be hollow without a bass, but less filled out. Apart from that I still think it'd be the least-missed instrument if you took it out of a song. I'd probably realise if you did though, but maybe because I play guitar I mainly focus on guitar when I listen to the music. When do bands ever base their songs around bass? Usually the bands write songs on acoustics and then add in drums and stuff. The only band I ever notice the bass in is Blink 182, because there's only 1 guitarist.
Listen to songs by Primus; the bass is the lead instrument in virtually every single one of their songs. The band Yes also pushed bass guitar to the forefront in songs like "Roundabout" and "Heart of the Sunrise". These are bands for whom the bassist is much more than a backing player.
wow. it's too bad that you started playing guitar when you were eight and still haven't learned enough to sound even remotely intelligent. I got interested in say anything because of the bass. you sir, are a titty biscuit. listen to victor wooten in any of the bands he has played with and try to pretend like bass doesn't matter. or the chili peppers for that matter. you might want to keep your ignorant opinions to yourself, no matter how bad you'd like to be socially accepted for playing guitar.
The initial comment was about how bass isn't important and it is, not in acoustic for sure, 'cause there are frequencies that are reached that compensate...but otherwise, yes.
it looks like hes remembering something or looking at something on the floor at some parts. i love this band . and they have incredible talent. i have spent so many hours of video game playing listening to them ^.^
It goes along with the rock opera concept Max was working on about a magical Belt that makes him express all his inner thoughts as fully orchestrated rock anthems.
this song is about being himself and not conforming to everyone else beliefs.
his "belt" is a metaphor. in the song it's like his dignity and soul. he didn't want to "sell his belt to indusrty" meaning he didn't want to give into anyone else's demands. so they cast him out.
it's pretty much saying that the world today doesnt care what you want. they want you to conform to their ways. otherwise you're out.
I love this song. it reminds me to just be myself. i love say anyhting & max bemis
not to mention their songs and lyrics are filled with meaningful metaphors and messages. This band is amazing, they are my favorite band, they had me at "is a real boy", btw, they are awesome live.
Mainstream? Really? They had two pop successful songs. Other than that, they went back to falling off the map. Their music is no more worse for it, and their style is no more normal for it. In Defense of the Genre was fantastic. For the love of God, why do people get pissed about this whole mainstream thing? It simply means the bands we love actually get to eat more than Ramen for once. Applaud success, not hate it.
why are people getting so angry? ranting about them going mainstream honestly changes nothing. nobody will have a different outlook on the matter. the only thing that does suck about them getting bigger. is that they'll be playing bigger venues and chances are that theyre music will change alot. also people like feeling unique and not like everyone else. that doesnt automatically make them scene. most people don't like feeling like a 13 year old girl.
I saw them live a few months ago and they were amazing. They all put so much energy into the shows. I met Max afterwards and he was completely exhausted. I love this band. Max and Jeff both signed my shoe! AND I hugged Max! I can die happy now :]
I love it! It's my fave song..I don't know why, but..yeah..haha I was kinda suprised to hear him live. I've never heard him. But I'm pretty impressed. :)
I agree, I HAVE MET MAX in person, he was anything but a jackass, I could tell he was exhausted after the show but he still head the courtesy to greet a few fans that stayed behind. Meeting him was one of the greatest moments of my life, and I can't stand when someone who knows nothing about him & has obviously not met him says stuff like this.
As my good friend once said....Don't critisize what you can't understand....but u prolly wouldnt understand him either u dumb shit... im123ben ur just pissed cuz max gets all the girls and u dont know why....its cuz he has a heart...he has emotion..his lyrics do have a meaning and he takes pride in what he has created....do the world a favor and dont talk. you egotistical prick:-)
i agree but he is a great singer and a song doesnt need meaning really. They made music for the peoples entertainment! and you cant say anything bad about these guys cuz they are probably more taleneted than you! And plus if you dont like him then dont make a comment on them please !! whatever just peoples oppinions!
I don't agree with you but All the people Bashing you makes no sense your stating what you think and not even bashing the band. But obviously you like the music you just don't like him. People Are to busy bashing you to understand n e thing lol
yeah i like slipknot but listen to this band, and jack johnson, mcr, foo fighters, coldplay, kaiser chiefs etc....so dont f***ing stereotype. are you saying slipknot have broke up?!?!?!
i agree he dosnt go with the music and this version sucks i like the orginal version WAYYYYYYYYYY better and dont ask if i can do better i probobly could and hes a profssional and there my fav band disgraceful buts its not as bad as admit it live
I saw these guys live a while ago and I hate it when people do this, but I'm going to. The singer doesn't go with the music at all. Thats cool if you think it does, its your oppinion. I just don't like it. Enjoy listening if you do. Cheers!
you people whining about "omg their gonna go mainstream then i cant listen to them and be scene anymore" shut up who cares who listens to them you guys needa stop being scene and start being real fans of the bands you claim to love because if you really loved them youd be happy for their sucess. honestly. no1 starts a band and says "my dream is to play shitty basements for hte rest of my life" no. bands wanna be sucessful. scene idiots.
I agree & beside Max has said in interviews that when they become more famous he believes that they will be lucky to have fans that will still by them despite having more fans. So if you whine about them becoming bigger than obviusly your not a ture fan.
isnt that the whole point, to become famous and get a fan following. If they got famous I'd be able to get more Merch, they dont sell any in the stores because they arent that big...I'ma be a fan no matter what...It's STUPID to bale out on a band because they're getting bigger. Be happy for them, gosh, grow up a little, sterotypes are old hap, be your fucking self...
Say Anything is awesome! they are a very very talented band and max has an amazing talent as a songwriter and singer! I can't wait to see what they put out in the future!
I agree...I hope they don't become like Panic! at the disco, where they were awesome (And frankly, still are) But all the stupid teenies were like "OMG's!!! I LuRVE PanIc! At ThE DisCO!!"
omg i so agree. itll be sad. bc my bf and i love say anything. and ill be singing one of there songs and my friends will be wth are you singing. and im gunna miss that. bc right now so many ppl have no clue. its gunna be sad. and its gunna be exactly like patd. eh.

You can't say that only bass and drum, or guitars and keys make this song good.
It's erverything combined !!
And if you want to play in a band, you have to use ervery instrument, not just the one you like most.
