I know, it went fairly easy for me, although I did panic a bit when it was 9:01 and the Ticketmaster site wouldn't load. It sucks that even though you come prepared, you can end up with nothing. Really?? So I presume those were sold out already too...
-
Oh, crap . Well at least there's still the general sale?
-
"Staan-plaats" means (when literally translated) "Area to stand." So if you'd wanna go for a GA spot I'd pick that one I guess? Is there a price difference?
-
I know, I mean in which directions the two walkways will go. Mostly because the Ziggo Dome has one side (let's say north) without any seats, so there's three sides where people can sit. Does this mean they will have the two walkways from west to east, or from north to south? Depending on the case, I'd want a different seated spot. Edit: Okay so it's as I thought: The stage walkways extend on one side to where normally the stage is (now there are spots for disabled there), and on the other side to the back of the arena. I've got tickets for area 110
-
Is anyone able to find a map of the arena? I can't seem to find one and I'd really like to know how the stage setup will be.
-
It's all in the wiring then! Why did you choose to do so?
-
Ah right, didn't know that! Just assumed it was the same for both.
-
Looks very nice! Shouldn't the hi and lo stickers be the other way round though? Always thought Bellamy had his Lo for the regular sustain and the Hi for the Harmonic mode. Or is the Sustainiac switch just reversed as compared to the Fernandes sustainers? Anyways, looking very good!
-
This cannot be for real, can it?
-
I dunno, I assume they want to keep it for the actual arena gigs. I think that's fine, however in that case they shouldn't have brought [JFK] to the festival as a prelude to... Uprising.
-
Haha no, that's not what I meant. This is intended, he's singing purposefully directed notes. Sounds fantastic. What I meant is just... cheating, I guess.
-
I agree, that way Aftermath could actually be... an Aftermath.

Okay, so this has been bothering me for quite some time now. I noticed that over the last years (I think starting from around TR's release) Matt's vocal delivery has changed, and not only in the way that it deepened or got weaker/stronger. I'm referring to the way Matt approaches his notes (so the beginning of a phrase) and how he ends them. Especially evident on Drones (album), Matt really tends to 'slide' up to the note instead of instantly hitting it. Also when ending a note/word, he slides back down with his voice. He not only does this live (for example I noticed he does it in Uprising when singing "We will be victorious"), but also on albums (for example The Globalist: "...great, nation, we were"). There are numerous other examples, although mostly from live performances; just put on any recent gig and you'll notice it. I really don't like the way it sounds. It sounds like he's putting too much pressure on reaching a note, suggesting that he's really struggling to do so. However when one assumes that this is not the case (having difficulties), I think it still just sounds... amateuristic? I'm in no way a professional regarding singing or anything, but I believe being able to immediately hit a note is one of the basic things to do. Anyway, I'm aware Matt has done this for a very long time, or perhaps even since Showbiz, but I think it has increased a lot and now it's starting to bother me. Any thoughts on this matter? Does it bother anyone else?

Not sure, he might use it during Mercy too. It's not necessary or anything, but just might make the chorus a tad easier. Also I think he might use in it Mercy right before/into the last chorus (after the bridge), during the 16ths on the snair. So both bass pedals and snair simultaneously.
-
Major* Unless you're referring to a town's mayor
-
Ah right, thanks.
-
I think that's actually a fairly standard chord progression/melody. Don't know the name though.
-
Because the timings of the guitar riff and vocal melody conflict each other. It's actually pretty tricky to do both simultaneously, even though easy when done apart.

2015.06.12 - Pinkpop Festival, Landgraaf, Netherlands
Cyndris replied to forevermusic's topic in Gigs
I was there the whole weekend. It is true the crowd sucked sometimes but I think that it's Dutch nature. People only really dance and go nuts when they're really big fans. Lots of the time they just stand and listen, however while still enjoying it! I dunno, sometimes I wish I lived in the UK or something. It's so great to be in a crowd that really goes nuts, and the artists appreciate it as well. -
This.
-
Well, playing along to it on the guitar made me reassess the song as 'actually pretty good!'.
-
Oh, and isn't Twist and Shout about dancing? Hardly a theme requiring depth.
-
I get that, but it sounds so... unnecessary? I don't know, feels like it doesn't fit with the feel of the verse at all: very toned down as compared to the chorus, only a slow bassline and simple drums. I find it hard to explain
-
The vocal delivery during the verses is so cringy though. "But you're wrooohooooohooooong." Ugh
-
The vocal delivery on this (especially the verses) make me think of very early Radiohead for some reason. Weird.
