Members Chrisjd Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 I basically laugh at all these metal bands who think they are actually intimidating or evil or whatever they are trying to prove .... it's just not anything I would want to waste my time listening to ..... they all look pretty stupid to anyone with an education glad you think that, i love it, and at the age of 24 i probably have higher paying job and better education than you;).

Members Chrisjd Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 What's sad is that they are a really good band, and super easy to work with, but they seem to have lost draw around the Twin Cities. They covered Stranglehold by Nugent for chrissakes - they got major points just for that. their album "02" was pretty sweet, like a electronic rock that had a really cool mood to it. the album after I couldnt get into.

Members framuscobrasson Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 + a billionComing from a FOH tech, nothing is worse than a cranking band with no one to absorb the reflections from the monitors and the stage volume and keep it from bleeding into the house. wow...some love from an > 8,000 post forum king. now I am gettin' somewhere:love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, having some "moving baffles" at a show really helps the sound - I hate nights when I feel like I'm driving a Ferrari at 30 mph, if you know what I mean.

Members Robert Kortus Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 What's sad is that they are a really good band, and super easy to work with, but they seem to have lost draw around the Twin Cities. They covered Stranglehold by Nugent for chrissakes - they got major points just for that. I wondered what kind of following they had up there. They have a big draw down here, that's for sure. I really dig their Pink Floyd cover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soundstorm Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 I think the overall loudness problem is probably the soundguy's fault. Perhaps the issue with the clarity is the amount of gain the guitarists are dialing in. I know Opeth keeps their gain relatively low, just enough to get some chunk, but not so much to where the open chords just sound like white noise. I think with the flying V style EQ, and too much gain, you can get any amp to sound muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 unearth has sounded great pretty much every time i've seen them live...usually on tours like that tho, every band but the headliner gets shafted on soundcheck and the FOH mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members futurism Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 if gigs werent so loud, id go to a lot more I think at least half the people there, myself included, wear earplugs which suggests to me that its just too loud large clubs should have more small p.a. speakers spread throughout the venue, rather than 2 big stacks running 5000 watts each at the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noseminer Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 Everytime I see Mastodon their mix is awesome. I hate the metal show mixes where its like all drums and bass and hardly any guitar. kinda funny that they are mixed like that considering the albums are always the complete opposite.

Members GodBlessTexas Posted October 5, 2007 Members Share Posted October 5, 2007 Back to the subject at hand, I don't think it's just metal, ANY band is going to sound like sht if they're too loud. I don't know why bands can't figure this out. I've walked out of shows down here because things where just way too loud. Afghan Wigs, Spring/Summer of 1994 at The Abyss in Houston. That show was so damned loud that they got a writeup in the local alterna-rag saying that if they found the guy who mixed the show so painfully and unbearbly loud, they were going to kick his ass.

The best "local" band I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
