The vocal bridge near the end will be a clumsy mess

They seemed very excited to play the new material. I bet they mostly nail it.

I’m right on this one though. They’ll speed it up and Ed won’t keep up because it will open the second set and he’ll be drunk/tiredtragabigzanda wrote:Wow, Ruddo is building a coalition of hate

Same here. I don't hold out much hope for how WES and SBWM will sound.E.H. Ruddock wrote:I am very excited to hear how DotC translates live. And Quick Escape
For anyone with Apple Music, you can now listen to Gigaton in 'Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio'

With the caveat that I'm not a musician that seems like a fairly easy song to sing/play. The vocals aren't fast, the range isn't stretching. Seems tailor made for him right now. I assume Who Ever Said will be a stapleBirds in Hell wrote:I can see it going down the Getaway or GSMF path, where whatever happened in the studio just doesn't translate to the stage and they shelve it.
Too fast, too sloppy, played in a lower key, etc.

im on the fence with WES and SW. Not sure if Ed can sing those properly and Stone already said they were struggling with the structure of SW.

SBWM really trips over itself a bit though. I genuinely don't see why WES would be hard. What part are people concerned about?

too many words for ed to do it fine...and he also plays guitar? Its going to be a mess...

Also, they may need to tune it down?

I'm hoping the 'recording songs in a key we can't actually play them in' trend was a relic of the Bad Brendan Years, but time will tell.
The record didn't hit the mark for me, and certainly hasn't revitalised my interest in the band or anything crazy like that, but I'll still be interested to hear how they pull these songs off live in a few months' time.

I've sung along to the big bridge of WES so many times now, and I always trip up a little bit; tis the best part of the song thoughstip wrote:SBWM really trips over itself a bit though. I genuinely don't see why WES would be hard. What part are people concerned about?

for me, a major reason I like the album a lot is that it doesn't leave me thinking "oh well, at least these songs have potential live"; I honestly don't care either way, for the first time in a long time, because I feel like they created something of worth as a studio album with its own artistic vision, not just a quickly dashed off excuse to tour

I manually turned off Apple Music, annoying as shit always popping up.ridleybradout wrote:For anyone with Apple Music, you can now listen to Gigaton in 'Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio'
Is it worth it? Has anyone listened to the Dobly Atmos thing?
They should just put all the 4K visuals together (except for Superblood Wolfmoon) and release the Dolby audio in Bluray.

I am with you on this. At this point i'd personally rather have a really great album that takes them out of their comfort zone than one that will for sure translate well (or easier!) live.epilogue wrote:Totally agree.Ms Harmless wrote:for me, a major reason I like the album a lot is that it doesn't leave me thinking "oh well, at least these songs have potential live"; I honestly don't care either way, for the first time in a long time, because I feel like they created something of worth as a studio album with its own artistic vision, not just a quickly dashed off excuse to tour

Quick Escape jam? Let's fucking go!Jeff Ament wrote:“Gigaton” was all done in-house, and I’m proud of that. It wasn’t the easiest record to make, but everybody came together at the end. We worked really hard on it. A good chunk of that record could be really fun to play live. Even in the rehearsals we did, we got a sense of which sections of songs could stretch out. You really don’t know until you’re in front of a live crowd and the energy is flying around the room. That’s the exciting thing about finishing a record. We’re always surprised when a song that isn’t one of the leading candidates turns into a really fun one to play. “Quick Escape” is an obvious one that could really stretch out live. I’m excited about “River Cross,” which is one of my favorite things we’ve ever done, and one of my favorite songs Ed has ever written. It was really outside of our normal instrumentation and it’s such a beautiful song. I think that will go over really well live.
