ELECTRORETARD

[anaconda]

totally agree man! its 14 minutes of magic! it's one take too!

[Beto Brasil]

Im sitting here listening to Electroretard and I havent reallt thought about it before but the production on YOA is really good!

thats all!
I just wanted to say that ))

i liked too Klump, but no 100%, 80% is good IMO!

[klump]

hehe, its funny a little thing, I bet most of it would have bought it just for YOA , and those remixes and covers are actually great to )

I was really lucky and found it on a nice price shelf a few years ago

Apparently on the Wipers version of Youth of America, there are something like 20 overdubbed guitars. Greg Sage admits he went a little overboard!

[klump]

holy shit!

I was just listening to Electroretard and I think it's an amazing CD. I wish they would do more "Reworkings" like this. 'Youth of America" is probably my favourite cover they've done.

from listening to the original song over and over, I find that very hard to belive

[klump]

I prefer these versions of Revolve and Lovley Butterflies

and the artwork is to die for! (insert gay artfart voice)

[LouiLoomis]

I agree with Klump, but I might go as far as saying I prefer all the new versions on Electroretard? Yes, I do.

I have no idea where I read this now. I'll have a look.

I've just listened to the Wipers' version a couple of times. There could easily be 20 guitar tracks on it. They don't have to be all playing at once, you know.

While speaking of overdubbing guitars in a recording, you are most likely talking about adding layers to a prerecorded melody/riff.

In that sense, there's no way there are 20 guitars layered on that track.
It's simply to thin sounding. You can hear clearly when the feedback is dropping from the recorded guitar/s, it would probably sound slightly more confusing with 20 guitars on top of eachother.

There could easily be 20 guitar tracks on it. They don't have to be all playing at once, you know.  

If that is the case, that the "20 guitars" have been recorded in bits and pieces here and there, then what's the big deal? And quite frankly if it takes 20 guitars to create that kind of noise, then I'm disappointed (don't get me wrong I love the track as much as the next guy)

You know, you can make A LOT of noise with just 2-3 guitars...


Ps. Not trying to kick up any fuzz between the two of us, I just don't hear the 20 guitars.

Yeah, I know.

I think you're missing the point, though. Greg Sage was basically saying that he spent so long layering all these guitar tracks on top of each other when, in retrospect, it was completely unnecessary. He could have achieved pretty much the same thing with just two or three.

Dale's drum solo on YOA is incredable. I can't express my feelings about  it in words. I find myself cranking up the volume when it begins.  

[GrimReaper]

Yeah, I can relate to you anonymous dude, why don't you get a log in?

When that drum solo comes on, and I am in the privacy of my car, I crank that part up to max volume.

The ony other song I can think of that made me crank the volume is Pat Benatar "Heartbreaker" where she sings with no music.
