Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 363

In another note. I’ve been on a tiny TBS kick and recently had a dream me and John were sending each other voice memo demos haha

 

The magic of live music has nothing to do with not knowing what would be played for me. If anything it’s nice to know you’ll definitely be hearing your favorite songs from that album. Anticipating when they get to that song and they finally start is a great feeling. I think hearing a song live can also help you appreciate it more and only deepen your enjoyment of it by becoming a specific memory of that concert.


Edit: most bands don’t do the full album for their new stuff anyway, so you don’t have much to worry about.

 

Holy shit. I can’t believe TW is almost 6 years old. Wtf.

 

I'm waiting on the three-part TAYF20 vinyl ultra bundle release:

1. TAYF: Reimagined — A total reworking and re-recording of the album
2. TAYF: Collabs - Featuring guest vocals in every song
3. TAYF: Live Acoustic, again — Because why not?

Then after that they can get to work on the My Name Is Jonas cover music video as new material perpetually remains in the "early stages."

 

When the reunion happened, Warner Bros. wanted them to re-record the album but they said no.

 

They should’ve re-corded the album but it wouldn’t have had the same energy.

 

Then why bother recording it again if the magic would be gone?

 

bc the actual production is awful. Out of tune guitars, out of tune vocals, mark not following a metronome…It would have given the songs a new life of their own. Fans wouldn’t like it though bc there’s no way Adam and John can recapture that angst they had. It would’ve been a re-imaging, which would’ve been cool but probably not what would’ve been expected.

 

Then they could actually play to a click track

 

The imperfections are a part of what makes it a special listen still. There’s no need for a cleaned up version.

 

The badness of TAYF is what makes it great.

 

Re-recording TAYF would be a sin lol

 

I wish more bands had enough confidence in their new material to play their new album in full.

 

Back in the Fred era I remember there being rumors that they were gonna re record it with him.

Seemed like such a ridiculous idea at the time, but now I think it would’ve been cool if they recorded like a 3 song EP of TAYF re-recordings. Not a whole album though

 

TAYF used to be my favorite album, and now I just can't listen to it anymore because of the production.

I don't think Adams current voice would suit a re-recording though

 

I listen to the live versions of songs from TAYF more than the record.

Between Orensanz and the live at Bamboozle album, those recordings are mint.

Edit: Granted it's not many of the tracks

 

Christ.

 

lmao

 

They obviously were gonna do something for the 20th anniversary. Hopefully it's just a vinyl repressing. Please no anniversary tour.

 

ABOUT TIME!

jk

 

when they titled it tell all your friends, they weren't joking. they don't shut the fuck up about that record.

 

Michael Rapaport spoken word re-recording

Nobody asked for that lol

 

neil rubenstein re-recording his head club screams with a bonus stand-up comedy special hidden track

 

Geez. As long as it’s not a tour.

 

Ok so that intro is only from the demo version of Great Romances right?

I guess this re-release will include remastered demos or...something.
