[WildHoney]

I was busy watching Zee & Wayne

 

[Screwtape2]

Anyone around?

 

[onebloodonelife]

Anyone here?

 

[Irishteen]

Emma, Wayne did you buy Get on Your Boots as a single? Because it just became their worst charting single in the UK since Two Hearts

 

[onebloodonelife]

You're still really proud of that stat, huh John?

U2 can be popular after ticket sales

See this is why i like unpopular bands it's easy to get tickets for them

 

[onebloodonelife]

I know! It's so much easier and better to get tickets for some band that like a few thousand people care about...

Maybe that's why U2 released Boots, scare away all the fans so we can buy tickets

I mean it's not like their label would be dumb enough to release that as a single...wait...

 

[onebloodonelife]

Seriously though, Boots is the track I skip each time I listen to the album.

I just looked at the waveforms on the album, and U2 again screwed up with the mastering. Dynamics are good U2

*listens to my remix of Miracle Drug*

 

[onebloodonelife]

There's been a huge debate over whether or not U2 mastered parts of the album in lossy format on several torrent sites...they've been having trouble figuring out if the uploads are transcodes or just shitty mastering on U2's part.

The mastering is actually pretty good on some tracks, on others it's just bad

The mixing on the album is good, mastering is the problem unlike Bomb which was just all crap

 

[onebloodonelife]

Yeah, what people have been seeing in the waveforms of the uploads is that most of the album is done well/okay, but NLOTH in particular looks to be mastered in lossy format. What kind of professional group would let that happen?

You've heard Bomb right?

did I ever show you my attempt at restoring dynamics to some songs on the Bomb?

 

[onebloodonelife]

Yes, and that's one of the reasons why it doesn't get played by me terribly often...or in a few years.

Nope, you didn't.

 

[Irishteen]

A few years

It was just me messing around with the volume levels at certain parts of the song because I can't do a proper remix because U2 haven't hired me

That's how I changed Miracle Drug

 

[onebloodonelife]

Yeeaaahhh, let's just say that Bomb never was one of my favorites, and it certainly hasn't stood the test of time for me.

Does it sound noticeably better?

Let's just say Edge's solo hits you like never before. That's why I did it, Edge's solo always felt like it should be big but it isn't, towards the end where the sound just jumps up is where Edge's solo is

My other mixes for that album where Native Son got Vertigo (Because I was bored, it sounds awkward and is mostly just Native Son with some random bits from Vertigo), Sometimes (Sped up), Love and Peace (And Bass Boast!)

 

[onebloodonelife]

Awesome! That's cool that you were able to improve the sound.

 

[Irishteen]

So I should study...I'm watching videos on youtube...

Isn't it great when hard rock indie bands sell out?

 

[onebloodonelife]

Which ones are you thinking of?

This Irish all girl band who have slowly becoming more and more pop-punk

First they went on You're a Star (The Irish American Idol)
Now they're in the Eurovision (European-wide pop song contest)

Indie-cred

How does the indie scene over there take that? Here, that band would be banished to "sellout" status so quick their heads would spin.

I don't think anyone cares, they were never big

Over here Arcade Fire are mainstream so our indie scene is confusing

 

[onebloodonelife]

Ah, that's right, I forgot you guys liked Arcade Fire so much...that is so weird...

Intervention hit number 17 in the charts here

And Funeral charted for well over a year
And Neon Bible went double platinum

Along with a few sell out shows at 10,000 capacity venues with 50 euro ticket prices...Arcade Fire are kinda big

 

[onebloodonelife]

Damn, they were selling theatres when they were here last, I think. Maybe it was the Roy Wilkins Auditorium, which is around 4,000 capacity.

They came here first

Played a 1,500 venue, sold out in seconds
Played a second night sold out in seconds

Came back six months later
Plays 10,000 capacity venue, sold out in 4 minutes
Played second night, sold out in 6 minutes

Damn them being so mainstream they're worse than u2
