They like to market to us Ants.

Yes, they are all joined at the hip and are together 100% of the time. Butch had to go take a piss, and Rashawn went out to get a burger.

Just watched the Standup Studio vids.....

Stefan.....boy does he crack me up. Thank god hes a good bassist, haha

[ant_marching41]

^ Hah. True that.

[Branty]

The little clip was great. The little taster has left me wanting more. Showing the band together just talking about their music like this is great. So much creativeness in one room

I cannot lie; I'm having trouble hearing Sugar Will in this clip

I hear it in the very very begining of the clip, like the first five seconds or more. It's definately reworked but like theStand said it's probably a cannabilization of it.

The actual music as a whole doesn't sound like Sugar Will, no. But focus in on Dave's riff. It's strikingly similar.

i hope there are cardboard cutouts of butch and rashawn for the next video. just them showing us how stupid we are being

Yes, and I think with a longer listen of it I bet the other parts are more similar than you think as well.

[K3nTaKa0s]

Dave says at the end that maybe there will be some surprises this tour. Could it be the return of the Lovely Ladies? heh.

lol, that would mean even MORE people on stage. I think the stage is gonna be a bit crowded as is. I think the ultimate surprise wouldnt even be new music, it would be if they played an old song in a completely revamped sort of way.

Let's not get to carried away, it's just a small clip...

[Daevian]

Am I seriously the only one that thinks the last riff with just Dave and Stefan sounds pretty much the same as the Idea of You chorus?

no, but the way they are talking about it (layers, intros), makes it basically impossible that it is, since IOY has no depth. Also, if you listened to the rearranged audio clip, you can hear that all the parts of that video are apart of 1 song.

What did you expect him to say? "Well, we didn't make this thing the way I wanted and I hate it. But here it is."

Yeah, but Trey being a guest doesn't mean the song would have turned out well. Batson still produced it... just see Hello Again on that album .... its a fing travesty how it waqs produced given how great that song was live.

[zwing23]

Where is this clip on The Warehouse site? I logged in and cant find it anywhere?...

[kjam1988]

Think Dave left off most of the 04 songs because he didn't want them to be butchered by Batson? Starting to sound like Dave is the sane one of the bunch.

I think it was they sounded so superior to the shitty songs of Stand Up they just didnt fit due to awesomeness.

[jdx_random]

Have been watching and rewatching this clip for a few days now. To me, it feels, looks and sounds like exactly what we have all been clammering for. Almost too perfect. This clip shows us what we want to see. Dave's comparison feels cut and pasted from what we've been asking for. It all felt a little bit staged to me.

What that means, I don't know. Maybe they are making an album by our numbers, which believe it or not wouldn't be such a healthy thing. To do something well, they need to be inspired by the notion of it rather than the crowd. Having said that, what we've heard does seem to sound very cool, and even if only one song on the album sounds like that, that's still potentially one hell of a good song. I get the feeling that what we're going to hear will be pretty eclectic, being the product of more years and with more different musical ideas behind it than any other DMB album thus far. This won't be a direct thematic sequel to "Before These Crowded Streets" like everyone says they want, because there are going to be bits of Every Day and Busted Stuff and Stand Up in it too. Add to that the amount of people involved in this, Butch, Rashawn, Tim, Rob, probably Mark Batson somewhere down the line and you have what would seem to be a melting pot of different ideas. Most DMB albums have a blanket sound to them that you can define fairly easily. I expect this one to be all over the shop. It's going to be interesting.

I don't.... Joyride is now an official b-side so its likely done and probably won't be reconsidered on this or any future album. Hello Again was the only song they seemed to feel was good enough to really keep, and it was a pale imitation of its live version. This talk of Sugar Will being considered is a total guess. I think its more likely to be majorly reworked as opposed to resurrected.

haha, crazy. I wonder if anyone knows who the other couple of guys in the video were...the one guy behind Cavallo, and there's another guy who the camera goes by real quick....just other production people i guess

[bibby1044]

I love when Tim is fingerpicking like a mad man at the end you can see Cavalo and some guy say something, I can only imagine what they must have been thinking watching what Tim can do.

I actually think Boyd is in it now that I looked for him, when Dave is talking to Roi I think Boyd is sitting there with his back to the camera because it looks like his hair is tied back. Could be wrong though.

I thought the exact same thing - and just so ya know, as a guitar palyer, i know 100% that they are both playing Shotgun. So amazing...

One interesting part I saw - when stefan and dave are talkin about that song, and cavallo throws out the idea for it being an intro, the way he reacts afterwards makes it look like he is very uncomfortable about putting ideas out....either because it's songwritnig and that's not his job, or because he feels somewhat in over his head, but I think it's the former. but watch him, his body says, "oh shit, did that sound stupid?"
