Members Mr.Blasphymy Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 the bass player in my band has convinced himself that in order for a song to be "heavy" you need "fatty breakdowns" one or two is ok once in awhile. but this crazy mother {censored}er is trying to put 3in one song! the rest of us are trying to think of something to show him or tell him to divert this crazy mind set of his. any suggestions?

Members itsallinmyh3ad Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 Maybe he is listening too much to August Burns Red? Those {censored}ers have about 15 breakdowns in each song. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members $uperpuma Posted June 25, 2007 Members Share Posted June 25, 2007 the same one recurring 2x in a song, like any other part, can make sense. 3 different ones is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alex. Posted June 25, 2007 Members Share Posted June 25, 2007 Maybe he is listening too much to August Burns Red? Those {censored}ers have about 15 breakdowns in each song. :S haha, so so true... yeah. breakdowns are good, but only to a certain extent. "heavy" has varying definitions from person to person. at least thats my experience. but I dont cant think of any good alternatives other than just trying to take unnecessary ones out.

Members blue2blue Posted June 25, 2007 Members Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'd say it depends on how long the song is... how much is going on... how many changeups, what kind of transitions you need... any other bridges there are, etc. Some songs... gasp... may not even require a breakdown. Each song, it seems to me, wants to be different but so often we feel obliged by convention or considerations extrinsic to the song or its music to put in seemingly de rigeur, often faddish elements. I'm reminded of a dark era when every band, whether they were rock or disco, seemed to think it need roto toms fills and syndrum accents... keeripes...
