Pusifer - Money Shot *really* reminds me of this first album for some reason. It does more for me than the other APC albums. ...and I love Mer De Noms. One of my favourite albums of all times. It's probably the album I've listened to mostly overall.

They're doing just fine. Not everything has to be alt/metal. They're older. Not much left to scream about

This whole album is…perfect. Definitely in my top 3. It’s totally nuts when you discover it was recorded in a garage in 1999.

Some amazing musicians on this one.. Maynard, Billy Howerdel, Josh Freese.. really impressive piece of work. That entire album is fantastic. One of my all time favorites. “ The hollow” is one of the best rock songs ever written in my opinion.

This was huge, man. I love how you dive down into every little nuance. Like tasting for different notes in a cigar and picking them all out.

I'm glad you clarified it was the edited version so quickly; for a second I was like, "Did I just hear what I wanted to hear all these years??? @_@" hahahaha. Great video, as usual! 🎶 🤟 Rock onnn!!!

Oh hell yeah that's the stuff! Looking forward to more stuff about James from you! He's my favourite Inspiration in singing. Keep up the good work!

Found your channel about a month ago and I binge-watched almost every single one. Your videos are awesome and super entertaining! I hope you are doing well sir, thank you for these amazing analysis!

What surprised me was hearing the vocal stem at the end where that high vocal phrase was much cleaner than I originally thought. Before then, I thought Maynard did a vocal fry on the highs at that part but he was actually only putting some heat on the low part while singing totally clean on that high note!

man this is awesome, your videos make me a better vocalist every time I watch ☺️

I love the jumping back and forth between the heavily compressed almost scream to the really clean: THANK YOUR GOD your lord your christ HE DID THIS took what you had and... Love doing this at karaoke bars, it's challenging and if you can pull it off people flip out.

If I do it with false chords it’s possible if I’m careful with breath control. I played this song with some guys and I kept trying to get the guitarist to do the second part but it was a no-go. Took me practicing about 9 months nearly every day to be able to do it. If you can do it with the tone Maynard/Billy can total respect to you.

Thanks for another great vid Chris 🤘

This song got me in to APC, Tool and somewhat Pucifer. Thought I recognized Maynards voice in "Parabola" and I was hooked. This song is so amazing both musically and meaning.

Love your analyses and that you also dig into the instrumentals. Very helpful stuff man 🤘

Thank you so much Chris! That ending was epic as it always sounds. But isolated. Oh man!

Fantastic video Chris, wow those isolated tracks sound good!

Love your content bro

Too often do I throw on this song when I need to get situational anger out, Maynard's history with this song is another strong connection to this track. If there was any of their songs that deserves this level of analysis, it's Judith.

@fromshadowtosubstance8327

Жыл бұрын

I have followed Maynard’s career for over 25 years-it could be said that he once had much animosity towards whatever form of Christianity he experienced growing up and witnessed from his mother’s church-but I have never heard him announce that he is an atheist. A person can be critical of religion without being an atheist, just as a person can be an ordained minister in Christendom and in fact be an atheist, as French priest Jean Meslier was a perfect example of. Meslier also sexually preyed upon servants, which is another example that religion isn’t the issue, it’s men’s hearts. Christ didn’t make him abuse people, Meslier’s own wicked heart decided that.

😁😁😁😁 great video. Great song. Great voice .

That was awesome

I wish you took the backup vocals off the last screen above it so we could just hear his scream. Shivers.

This and The Outsider I think are my favorite Maynard vocal performances. Everything about this song is great though, especially the music video where it doesn't really show their faces at all and things like Lenchantin fixing her hair in the middle of the guitar solo really gives the feeling that they're just jamming in a garage

15:51 that first high note on the final backing harmony sounds like Paz Lenchantin. She is credited in the liner notes on the album for the vocals on this track, and this is the moment where I can really hear it prominently.

I can relate to your opening thing as to the lyrical question and painful content as to Why and wtf!! My late wife and i loved this song and Maynards lyrical writings , but just killer tune all around ..great overall timbre , drum trax, guitar trax everything about it rules!!!

The thing that’s always awesome about an isolated Maynard is the weird textural stuff he does on certain lines that you CANNOT hear in the recording. Parabola is a great example: the first chorus “all this pain is an illuuuUUuuUusionnnnnn”. He does some weird note runs there that you can’t even pick up otherwise. He’s a master

Before I was easily able to sing stuff from Maynard, Chris Cornell, and Thom York. Now, it’s just gone. Any advice on getting it back? Thanks and keep up the great work.

makes more sense now when maynard talks about how hard it was to go back and sing these songs live

Hope your doing good Chris, I love these vocal track breakdowns you are doing and being able to hear what someone like MJK is doing technique wise and being able to really listen and pick it apart. Also if you haven't heard yet RICK BEATO just interviewed MJK on his channel and what he had to say was very interesting. He always wants to sing in a way he hasn't before, I won't give anymore away but you should check out out, I think it's 55 min interview. 🤘

This is amazing, how do you get the song seperated in the individual tracks?

I've found a really interesting way to actually get a similar duality of tones in my bass recordings by running mine through a solid state 8" regular guitar combo amp. I use some pretty basic passive jazz pickups on my 4 string and then run it straight into the amp with a rhythm channel and a tiny bit of gain on it. The lower strings immediately overdrive the speaker but the higher notes are able to stay crisp and well defined. I've kept my solid state combo amp specifically for recording bass parts because my primary instrument is guitar. But I run my guitar into an all tube Peavy 6505 head (with a tube screamer before the input) with a 15w 8ohm celestion greenback cab. It gives me the headspace on cleans but that speaker is phenomenal at riding the line for rhythm and then snapping into screaming distortion. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't really want to try and mic either amp up for a gig because it probably wouldn't maintain the same characteristics through a PA. But recording with both of those amps makes my life a LOT easier. I mean, they're not carrying nearly enough ass to play live like my old Mesa Road King, but I'm also not gigging at all anymore. I just record stuff for me and play for friends/family. But seeing the look on people's faces when I tell them that I literally record full songs in my basement with less than $3k in all of my gear (including guitars, amps, track recorders, effects, editing, and a full 5/6 piece acoustic drum kit.)
