Members Barnabyhuggins Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hum playing "I'd Like Your Hair Long" on 120 minutes. Just about my favorite band of all time. I drove a 1000 miles to see their last shows. Just watch it. Tone city. Beautiful Rock http://youtube.com/watch?v=MpSSxu_7bAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jamison Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 That was pretty awesome. I have never even heard of them.I like how the drummer set up his cymbals so that he could hit all of them at the same time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Barnabyhuggins Posted March 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Damn, you're right. I know a lot about Hum's gear and I never knew they used one of those... And I have one. That amp will tear a hole through your body, leave you bleeding on the floor and gasping with your last breath, "rock me again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That amp will tear a hole through your body, leave you bleeding on the floor and gasping with your last breath, "rock me again." :D that was the first set up Matt let me use at his studio - Orange OR80 and Ampeg V4 both driving Orange 4x12 cabs. I didn't think the room was going to be big enough.then i started getting shocks from the V4, so we pulled that off of the cab, and put a Fender Bandmaster in it's place.KABOOOM!like massive chimes ringing through smoke and fog - serious amp horsepower at that joint.

Members sonaboy Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Originally posted by RoboPimp they aren't too bad but sound like a high-school band at open mic night or something. hahah - idiot. that band really was great - they just didn't "look right." ive seen them probably 12 times, and each time they just tore the roof off of the place, including when they opened for Swervedriver. after Hum finished, it was like someone sucked all the air out of the room when Swervedriver started to play. they eventually built up the crowd again, because they're bad ass, but Hum truly drained the generators that night. matt's lyrics are truly unique and the bombast many times overshadowed some of the complexities that they injected into the songs, but everyone in that band was a good player.

Members LPSlinger Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hum was great. Talk about intensity. I saw them play one night at a tiny little club outside of Chapel Hill, NC and they were absolutely awesome. The vocals were mixed low so it was hard to hear Matt, but the music was incredibly powerful. They were really good live. They played to about 400 people but played it like they were in front of thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played to about 400 people but played it like they were in front of thousands. they were also very good at bringing the "stadium sound" into very tiny clubs. these guys knew how to use effects very well, just adding the right touch to give the room what it needs. the first time i saw them, they sounded just like they did on that MTV clip, but did it in a room that could hold only about 80 people. i was dumbstruck.

Members sonaboy Posted March 28, 2006 Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Originally posted by Roy Brooks Is this emo? not really. it has some similarities, but this is not "why did my girlfriend leave me?" music... it's more like "I have to rescue my girlfriend from a rocket attack" music.

Members Barnabyhuggins Posted March 28, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2006 Originally posted by Roy Brooks Is this emo? Okay, this is starting to drive me nuts. I have actually heard HUM described as emo more than once. This description is asinine and idiotic. If emo is anything, and it hardly is anymore, it is defined by singers that exhibit a lot of emotion - thus "emo". Matt Talbot is practically monitone. If emo is anything it is defined by dynamically volatile music that moves up and down through volume and tempo changes to reflect the "emotional" characteristic of the songs. HUM is more or less constantly and often droningly loud - practically monotonous. The dynamic changes are sparse and carefully chosen. It has more in common with shoegazer music than anything else. In order to find the emotional kernel of HUM songs one must look at the lyrics and the nuance of Talbot's delivery. It is something you won't find on the first listen. If emo is anything then it is music that wears its emotional kernel on its sleeve for everyone to see. If not, then the term "emo" is completely vacuous and could be used to describe all music and art - seeing as all of it is an emotional expression. So not only is HUM not emo, they are antithetical to emo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
