Oceansize - Sleeping Dogs and Dead Lions LIVE Cardiff 2007

[Snardbafulator]

Edit: least = lead

[Snardbafulator]

I've just discovered this tune so I'm trying to see all the versions. What astounds me is that you have three guitars and the least singer doesn't use his as prop. He appears to carry the spiky arpeggios (and the unison-voice whole-tone meltdown), the Les Paul seems to get most of the chordal meat, and then the effects-box-laden SG takes punctuating stabs and glides. And they're all really well synched-up in a song with such a diversity of sections and time changes. I wish more was like this.

@Snardbafulator Awesome analysis there ;)

[aJazzcat]

it's a wonder to me how these guys aren't more well-known and liked...

[henrysdreamthefirst]

highlight of this album without a shred of a doubt

[solemnpears]

I wish I was Mike.

Oceansize are the best live band in Britain. Bar none.

[niggel]

I can`t believe how musically tight they are! o.0

[jxd549]

the central riff in this song is orgasmic!

[martmaduke]

the one at 1:45 makes me go "wurrrr" in a good way :)

[jxd549]

yeah i meant the one at 3.49. pure class

[davmcperson]

aren't they all pure class?

[audiogarden2005]

Drop G tuning FTW

[rehabdanny]

fuck... I knew it sounded lower than A. I tried to play it on my guitar on A but now I know that it's even lower. thanks bud.

[clyrenternal]

Drop G? The lowest I'd heard of before was Drop C (CGCFAD)... Someone Explain?

[solemnpears]

It's not proper Drop G. It's:

GGCFAD

[bigjobandlongman]

Actually it sounds more like F# to me. Which is the standard on any 8 string. Sounds like a Meshuggah track to me

[amm2911]

mike cites meshuggah as a band influence in an interview.

CUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTT­TTTTTTTT!

[bigjobandlongman]

bamehat laty geaht

[Mushman34]

The working title for the track was simply "Meshuggah", it was on their setlists the summer before Frames was released.

[robslater90]

@bigjobandlongman Nah the vocals are different and better IMO.

[bigjobandlongman]

@robslater90 Both different, theerrrre issss no bettttttrrrrrrrr FUCK i wrote that comment 2 yearrs ago yoslike time travelluin n shit

[robslater90]

@bigjobandlongman Haha sorry man. Was just my opinion anyway. No hate.

[philcircou]

Slipknot use Drop B, but they're shit!

[rehabdanny]
