Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 572

Why would Fred not stay after this tour? He just joined and even played on the new record, it’d be weird if he bounces immediately. A bit of a different situation from Lance filling in

 

Nvm I had too many tabs open, wrong Fred

 

I heard them soundchecking for "Miami" and "One-Eighty By Summer" last night...not that that means anything...

 

I’ll be real happy if they do One-Eighty tonight

 

If they do that, there's no stopping them.

 

tbs is a band that really would benefit from fans enjoying their more modern music. they play mostly older tracks because that’s what the fans enjoy, but whether it’s Flicker, Fade or You Can’t Look Back or The One- Adam sounds so much better on these tracks for obvious reasons.

i really enjoyed the setlist at the show in Detroit. 20/20 Surgery is a good pull, imo, and they crushed This Photograph is Proof. Fred absolutely crushes the vocals and i hope they do consider keeping him around for future music.

 

You Can't Look Back blows me away live every time.

 

They did timberwolves last night instead of El Paso and twenty twenty

Also Fred rocks

 

Wishing John all the best and hopefully a quick recovery

 

Just came to post that, glad to hear it’s something that could be fixed/get better

 

What a handsome guy. Hoping for the best for him

 

I knew it had something to do with his health. I wish him the best during his recovery, it sounds painful as hell.

 

I have DDD and have had that surgery twice. The recovery sucks, but it’s a generally low risk surgery. Idk how he’s going to play WWWY though!

 

The last pic gives old straylight run vibes look

 

I know TBS have had a lot of drama in recent years generally, but the way the John & Fred situation has played out has been so nice to see. A lot of love for that. Get better soon, John!

 

His hair wasn’t quite that short in those days, IIRC.

 

Shout out to the person who recorded the full set the other night

 

Adam’s main stage presence influence is Michael Jackson. He’s got big Michael Jackson legs that whole gig

 

Wearing hats with suits is a very questionable look on stage. But they sound good in that video.

 

s'old sounds really great live here

 

Ladies and gentlemen, Fred MascherinooOoOoo on the geeeetar never fails to crack me up

 

Error Operator and Flicker Fade sound much better now that they're in a more comfortable range for them

 

Definitely excited to see them with Fred on guitar again!!

 

Finally had a chance to listen to that full set in its entirety today, and goddamn, having Fred around and the lowered tunings are game changers. Speaking of Fred, that little outro jam they do after The One sounds so good. As a guitar nerd, both John’s and Nathan’s guitar tones were a little too similar. This isn’t a knock on either of them because they’re both excellent guitarists. I’m strictly speaking on live tones and mixing. Having Fred’s more aggressive/trebly tone coupled with his use of delay and whammy effects really rounds out their sound. Seems like they're all having a lot of fun on stage together, plus if you listen to the jams/segues with headphones, you get to hear Shaun playing some really tasteful stuff.

 

they're having so much fun

*happy tears*
