Lol. Thanks dude. I don't think they'd like it, to be honest. Joey was marginally flattered by cheap Ramones imitators, but Johnny and Dee Dee were like whatever. They invented that shit. No one was as good as them. I very rarely try to really ape their sound, but of course their influence lives pretty strongly in me. Hopefully they're looking up at me from hell and at least feel better knowing that their work did not go unnoticed.
Yup, usually is. I bring my own mic to gigs, and it's usually a SM57 or a PG57. I never use the house mics. No way. That nasty herpes infested shit aint going anywhere near my pie-hole.
Thanks Jimmy!
Lol. I get it. That's my jackassed New Orleans accent I guess poking through. Sometimes people ask me if I'm from New Jersey or something. Thanks for checking it out.Yeah...sounds good, but the title makes me laugh.
It sounds like "vagina-sore-is Rx".
Prescription for sore p.... never mind.
Thanks AB. The backups are just me doing a bunch of tracks. I think there's like 8 backing vocal tracks. I'm afraid there's no wizardy. I think one of the most important things with backing vocals is starting and ending at the same place. Especially with things like heys, ooohs, ahhhhs, and whoahs. If you're gonna do a bunch of them, and you have to if you want a gang kind of sound, you need them to be tight or it just sounds like a mess. Sometimes sounding like a mess is awesome, but generally I don't want any whoahs or ooohs and ahhhhs lasting longer or shorter than the others. They gotta start and end at the same place. And of course, if there's any melody, you gotta be in pitch, or close to it. If it's just shouts or yells, varying your tone in the delivery makes it sound like a bunch of different people. Do a few low and growly, do a few harsh, do a few high pitched. They all blend to sound like a mob. And go easy on the reverb. You'd think you want a bunch to make it sound big, but if you do a lot of tracks you don't need much reverb. It'll sound big on it's own.
