The Starting Line Band • Page 80

Drums replaced means Tom's parts cut differently with Kenny Aronoff or he just sort of played on top of it to re-do all of it? That's quite insane. So far this episode is very interesting, and the bits of the original demo are really cool

 

Listening now, but I think Tom’s recording was taken out and replaced with Aronoff’s.

 

He says "they just got Kenny Aronoff to recut the drums for the whole thing" so I took that to mean he retracked the whole song (so they didn't have to splice two drummers' performances together). But regardless, the thing he was actually upset about was that they changed the whole groove of the verses after the fact without really even consulting them - less about Tom not having his performance on there.

 

This podcast is definitely hit or miss for me. But this one is one of the best.

 

IIRC everyone was pissed about Tom being cut out of "Island" when it got released as a single.

 

Oh ok, I get it! I also caught Kenny using the phrase 'cutting vocals' most probably referring to recording takes, so that would make for some consistent meaning with it (just hadn't heard the lingo before it seems ;d)

 

yeah, "cutting" essentially is "recording"

 

Based on this convo about the drums, I went to check out the credits for Direction on Wikipedia, and if it is to be believed, Aronoff also played drums on Are You Alone and What You Want - bizarre that I never knew this.

I do not recommend reading the Reception section of that article, opinions are dumb and this album is so good.

 

This is exactly what I did

 

I don't know if I've ever seen the extended video.

 

Whoa that song is pretty good

 

Whoa, it exists!

 

I remember that extended version!

 

yeha and when they play it live, a lot of the accents are back tracked, tom can't play all those beats (im a drummer though and picked up on that seeing them live 07/08)

 

Was the extended version on the drive thru dvd? Feel like I remember it from somewhere haha

 

That or the Make Yourself At Home ep. I remember watching it in my room growing up

 

Anytime someone wants to press that again I’d be cool with too.

 

The Night Life might be the goat going through it song

 

They’re not coming out West so if anyone wants to pick up the white t-shirt for me I will pay for the shirt+shipping+tip.

They had it but ran out of everything fairly quickly in October last year.

 

Lol @ the New Line hat. Could almost double as BOATS merch

 

Damn, I want the baseball tee

 

Damn I really like that Yves Saint Laurent shirt and I'm a sucker for burgundy shirts. Too bad they're not coming anywhere close.

 

Message me tomorrow. I’ll be at the show. I’ll see what I can do.

 

well i need that hat so i guess i am buying a ticket to this tour no matter the cost

 

One thing about the starting line is that they have never been short of a good t shirt idea. I swear they had hundreds of them on the website back in the day. Great merch range!
