RX Bandits In The Studio #2

[deadmoonblue]

coolest dudes

[Justbandit55]

Rx is not the same rx they used to be, I think they sound better without the horns, a little more mature as well. All we need is another tour or RX and The Exit, Two of the best bands in the world!

[tizzit87]

hahahah i love 0:45

[burnsieboy44]

There's gotta be someone willing to play horns for the bandit's. Who knows maybe there will be eventually and then who knows they can possibly add horn sections to all the songs on mandala and make that the new official live version of each song. Best part is that they can play play old songs too.

[hellasloh]

I think it's dumb to say RxB can progress more now without a horn section.

Chris sheets added another layer of complexity to RxB's sound. Now that layer is, gone. What's left is still a good band, but they don't sound as full any more.

I've listened to the new album. And I like "...And the battle begun" more. RxB's songs don't seem to hit the same sort of 'groove' in the middle of a song that they used to. Also, I want to know how theyre gonna manage playing older songs live with no horns.

[crago121]

well the best way to make a band great is to reinvent themselves with each new album

yes they will never sound the same and are drifting away from ska more and more and it is sad

and i got to see them a couple weeks ago and they played a lot of old songs they all sounded great even without horns but not for decrescendo that needed the horns for me

but they are still amazing

[andykosmo]

they progressed to a different sound man. they went beyond their convention of third wave ska to prog rock. they have always recorded everything since progress as a four piece, with the horns added later. choi actually said with no disrespect intended, that they had to actually dumb down some parts to make room for the horns. to say that they havent and wont be able to progress, shows a total derelict in musical knowledge, as well as knowledge for the bandits.

[hellasloh]

Where did I say they didn't progress? I didn't. I was responding to people who say "Rx Bandits can progress MORE now then they could with horns", which is bs.

Umm, they progressed from Ska to Prog rock way the hell back when they put out the Resignation, so don't try to bring it up like it's something new. The Rx Bandits haven't been Ska for a long ass time.

I'm not saying Mandala is not a good album, it is. But face it, it not as soulful as some of their other ones. It it pretty rockin' tho.

[fortega7]

It is very hard to think of RX w/out horns. Sheets was a hige part of the RX steez. He will be missed on stage. With our without Sheets Rx is still without a doubt one the most creative bands of our time.

[andykosmo]

embree with the forgotten lyrics ftw!

[jdotpdot]

songs in this video:

Hope is a butterfly, no net it's captor

"Don Pedro"

Bled to be free (The Operation)

(the funny little thing he does must have been a blooper from Hope is a butterfly, it sounds like it.

Mientra La Veo Soñar

:D

[RMKISTHESHIT]

2nd song is not "Don Pedro" (a song that's actually called My Lonesome Only Friend), but a song that live was called "Buff Costello"

[jdotpdot]

Right, i remember hearing lyrics in the live video, at the end of the chorus he clearly sings "my lonesome only friend". whoops!

[nofxdude89]

a agree. the horns were the weakest part of the band! but either way, the bandits rock!

[tomwootton350]

i think this album is going to be amazing, and also that having no horns allows their sound to progress even more.

i hope they leave it without a brass section from now on if you ask me.

[turntwo463]

to weigh in on this, the only reason i ever even got interested in RX way back in.... 2002? was because of the horns. The new songs sound ill ass all hell, but i saw them on this last tour without sheets, and the horn feature songs (i.e. in her drawer) sounded terribly hollow and lacking. i will miss sheets terribly, but i still pick up this album day 1.

[rxbandit3385]

yeahh but these new songs are written and recorded without the horns. it sucks that theres no horns, but i trust their musical intuition . this record will sound as full as the others

[GenDoomVisser]

0:46 that's funny!

[albertodanielugo1234]

Sheets ROCKS man i saw the Bandits in CARACAS and the sound with he was AMAZING and the trombone in RX bandits is classic SO! i will miss Sheets A LOT! and i hope he'll be in the new CD at least as a invited musician... i cant wait for the cd to come out! Rx Bandits ROCKS

[RatherDashin]

they didnt kick chris out, he's not there for personal problems, he may even be back at some point, but its all up in the air. all we know is that hes not on this album.

[HighlordCovenant]

sex me too lol....They sounded so great without the horns at chain!!!!Sheets is awesome don't get me wrong. but the sound without him is so clear ,crisp,u could really hear the music so much better.

[deja0entendu]

I don't think Sheets being gone made them sound clearer. In fact I think the older songs lacked that extra luster. BUT the new songs sound sick regardless. (and plus Chain sucks, terrible terrible sound there)

[FuckinFrancis]

Sex me. You guys are too awesome.

[stephizm]

They were amazing the last time i saw them a couple months ago without Sheets, the old songs sounds just as good!! And their new songs sound amazing!!! The last one at the end of all the clips is outstanding!! I can't wait for the new album!

[myoozek]

So stoked. Groove Tech baby!

[theresignation00]

dear god I am so excited. there are not words to explain...

[HighlordCovenant]

I love RX Bandits!!!!!!!!!!!u guys shred!!!!!!!!

[ThomasCovenantWGW]

wow...its great to see all the new clips you guys are putting out.. sounds so great, cant wait for the new album to come out.

[Kliz401]

Chris Sheets is not in the band anymore... Bummer i know

[tomisntshort]

no he is still in the band..

[theresignation00]

he is? They don't have him on the wikipedia or myspace page anymore. I was wondering if they were gunna get a horns player for the tour....

[cowassasin]

i highly doubt it...they evolve with every release, and this is how they're evolving

[theresignation00]

but they still need to play older songs. I recognize Sheets is out of the band, but they still need horns players for older songs.

[MetallicBlueAx]

Their songs will stand on their own without HORNS HORNS HORNS

[ConnerMello2]

pretty sure he's not.

[aeybal]

i cannot wait to listen to the song at the end of the video. incredible.

[CarTuuN]
