    Hi. Allow me to copy and paste a comment i did on another channel about this song, because it holds a particularly important message to us all, specifically in the times we're living now : "This song is the perfect epitaph for mankind. One of the most heart wrenching piece ever wrote about the dusk of humanity and the total collapse and disappearance of our civilization."

    Every time Maynard hits 'RISE' i lose my shit. This song is the bookend from Aenima... young angry Maynard calling forcthe ocean to rise, the land to crack, and the fools and idiots to be washed away. Now 60 years old, hes got children, perspective, and experience. He reaches out to give humanity a final warning, and - maybe - one more chance.

    Saw them in concert this last tour. Was blown away by the fact that the "cha-cha-cha" at 3:15 (of this video) is from that big board of synthesizer panels behind Danny that he plays with his hands. No chimes or sounds come around the 4:20 mark (of this video) which allows him to get back to his seat. Then you start hearing cymbals, and the drums.

    @bryanmack5410 3 місяці тому

    Sometime around 1993 I read an interview that I’ll always remember about these guys. Maynard treats his voice like “just another instrument,” and Adam strives to make his guitar lines “sound like Maynard’s vocals.” There’s a surprising amount of restraint and humility in how they write, mix and produce. Maynard often stand off to the side when live. Not the “frontman.”

    The effect on his voice is actually several, but the three that most stand out to me are, compression, an ‘unnatural’ EQ curve, and a Leslie rotary speaker (or, more likely, a rotary-speaker simulator). Oh-and just a bit of amplifier grit. I’m not breaking out the big studio headphones just for this, but there is some sort of clipping on his voice. I can’t tell based on my iPad speakers precisely what kind of grit (tube drive, transistors, diode clipping, bitcrushing, etc., but I’m guessing it’s not the last because it sounds familiar and I don’t listen to anything made by bands that formed after 1995 (with a couple exceptions, like QOTSA, and side-projects by musicians I knew long before 1995 (like Velvet Revolver or Nick Cave’s Grinderman)). So-I’ve probably heard a bit rusher in a mix by someone like Front Line Assembly, but I’ve never heard it out front, except during the 5 or 10 times I’ve fooled around with the Bitcrusher plugin came with Logic X.
