cool idea for time bomb
 

in terms of the live time bomb, i've got a kick ass idea:

1. start off time bomb dave solo alternating the opening riff a little bit. this is how i play the opening riff -

e---------------------------------------
b---------------------------------------
g--14--12--10---9-------12--10---9---7
d--12--12--12--10-------12--12--10---7
a---------------------------------------
e---------------------------------------

-along with this riff, dave could have some lyrics opening it up. alternate the lyrics every night kind of like two step.

2. the song should stay dave solo up until the chorus when he first starts singing, "baby, when i get home...". after that chorus, it should go back to dave solo.

3. after dave sings (still dave solo), "...watching as we fly away..." (right before it breaks into the big rock ending), dave should sing "away" really lightly and have carter make a timebomb tick on the drums three times like 'tick.. tick.. tick.. tick.. BOOOM. they break into the big jam instead of the lame lead in they have now and on the album.

4. tim should do his solo as always and dave should repeatedly sing the "baby, when i get home..." chorus. but instead of it just ending when dave sings, "i wanna believe in jesus", they should have boyd just start going ape shit :monkey after dave sings this and have him going nuts on the song. then, jeff and rashawn should do some solos following this. carter'll be going nuts in the background to keep the energy of the song high.

5. to finish it off, they should all just be playing the shit out of their insturments for like a minute and then abruptly stop it and shut the lights off.


-if they did this, i think i would shit my pants. it would make it much more worthy of a closer if they did this. what do you guys think about this idea? its just an idea. i'm not saying i think this is gonna happen. thanks to chyeachyea552 about changing up a couple of the ideas.

:thumbsup:thumbsup A lot of these are some real cool concepts for the tune in its live development.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

If any band "played the shit out of their instruments" and then immediately shut the lights off, it would be cool.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

i have a feeling they're gonna really expand on this song after this long break they've taken. i think a lot of the Big Whiskey songs will be nice and jammed out at the end of this tour.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

itd be cool if they actually set off a bomb/big explosion somewhere (injuring no one) when they started goin into the heavy part...

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

yeah. they need some pyrotechnics for this song in particular. it would be kick ass

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

This would be filthy

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

my idea would be when they go into the 5 second bridge that carter is basically playing sugar will jam on the drums they just go into it

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

i like this a lot op

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

i just have to find some way of getting the band to come across this

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

Reminds me of when McCartney does "Live and Let Die"

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

love it

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

YESSIR. i had the pleasure of being able to see mccartney once and he puts on one hell of a muthafuckin show. and "live and let die" was explosive.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

im getting bashed in another thread for the fool to think idea ha
i know its urs, but i made a thread about it, and people are being mean =[ hahaha

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

everybody take things to seriously on here. haha. i just posted somethin in that thread too.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

He sure does :thumbsup

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

wow man. wow.

i can picture it happening... and yes, i also, would shit... my pants

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

I got a better idea...play the intro for 8 minutes and call it a night.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

Or better yet...FINISH THE SONG IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE! :lorraine

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

it needs that pace!

seriously though, maybe alternate a jammed out intro and a dave solo intro similar to ants on different nights?

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

I wonder if once they get into the crazy stuff at the end if they could transition back into the intro music and jam on that....that might be badass if they could do it....if you hear those clips online of them working on it where it's the more intense part of the old song....that could be sick.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

i would love to see a very similar arrangement to seek up, with the extended intros and outros.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

As the song is now, it really does nothing for me - so I'm all for any modifications they can make to it live...because I'd LIKE to be able to get into it...I just can't now.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

:thumbsup

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

I love the tick tick tick part :thumbsup

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

So, two step with an acoustic section in the middle? lol. Sounds like it could be cool.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

:lol:lol:lol

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

Nah, don't want Dave to pull a James Hetfield.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

The current intro needs help, I know that much.

Re: cool idea for time bomb
 

Funny to see timebomb hasn't returned yet this tour. Wonder if they read this and they're practicing it now?
