| IN THE STUDIO.... |
Dec 10 DAY SEVEN NOTE: we were off yesterday! here's a friend of ours who dropped by the studio today.. John played a demo of "Everything" for me a few months ago and I thought it was amazing. When I walked in today, that is the song they were working on. It was facinating to see Ron (producer) take this song to the next level. Vince played great! Most musicians and even many drummers have no idea how difficult it is to play such a song with such feel. This will be a song you will listen to for years after tonight, but I was fortunate enought to be here as it was created. Some days (most), my job is the best. Steven Volpp Artist Relations Manager Peavey Electronics Hey everyone, it's Vince here. Today was a short work day. We've been here for only 12 hours as opposed to the usual 14 to 16 hours. We cut basic tracks for "Everything " today and it sounds amazing. Well it's getting late and I need some sleep but I'll be back tomorrow with the latest news. Until then my friends. Good night. I love you all. Vince Dec 8 DAY SIX hey everyone bri here,day six an i have to say so far so good.the sounds are definitly rockin,i think were making something special out here in sunny but chilly cali(which is cool being that we were afraid to miss some winter, i heard its been like 70 back home,i guess LA new we were comin).ive been here almost a month now an i must say im still an eastcoast boy.LA is a nice place to visit but i wouldnt want to live here.no offence LA peeps,but i love ny.so i think ive watched more tv here in the past week than the past year,weve had some tech problems but amazingly enough still on schedule.today we tracked goodfriend which some you have heard,yesterday beautiful and a song called ocean which came out very cool.moody,but rockin,u2ish..all an all i will say by the sounds of everything so far this record is definitly gonna rock.ive also been addicted to sushi lately which is alot healthier than being addicted to tacobell,and thats a good thing.we some good shows out here too,u2(3rd time)weezer,hoobastank,incubus,gonna try an catch our buds in 3rd eye blind.we were gonna go see slayer but we didnt want to get killed,good move huh.so anywhooo,cant wait to finish up here an get ready to get out on the road an see ya'll,peace,love an GO RANGERS!!!!!!!check with ya next week brian Dec 7 DAY 5 (cont'd) hey! john here...i thought i should write a little something since we spent most of the day working on one of my songs, "Beautiful"...we deconstructed and rebuilt the song for MANY hours...but, in the end, i think we got it right...its 1 AM and we are about to go home and try to regain objectivity for tomorrow...we did shoot some pictures today and we'll get some more tomorrow to post on the site next week...just wait to see how handsome we all got! so, if you've read Erics (our engineer) post, you know he is a vulgar charachter, but hes great...we have a Christmas tree set up in the lounge of the studio, so it feels a LITTLE like the holidays around here...i miss NY! even though its not as cold as it usually is in December, i'm hoping for a white Christmas when i go home for a couple of weeks...this is going to be a great record. john (Brian WILL post tomorrow!) Dec 7 DAY FIVE Eric Sarafin here. I've been asked to provide my thoughts to you adoring fans, or people that despise Nine Days whichever you happen to be. I've been recording this band for over four days now, and I've been sick as a dog. If this is the last record I ever make, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm currently surviving on Claritin, Sudafed, Dayquil, Cough medicine, and Red Bull. The odd thing is, I can hear better than usual on these over the counter dugs, and I'm considering operating in this manner at all times. The band has been allot of fun. Being a New Jersey transplant in LA I rarely get the opportunity to exchange with people the way that I have with Nine Days. The guitar player Brian, provides me much enjoyment with his :What the Fuck this, and What the fuck that!" or "Where the fuck is". I of course, respond, "Shut the fuck up, ya mook." I think hey enjoy that, although , they don't understand mook. I guess I've been here too long. The mild mannered John, Tells me to "Fuck off" all the time. The Producer, I mean genius Producer, Ron Aniello, who we may not look at directly, or at least with only one eye, is concerned with our exchanges. He feels I should be more appreciative of the band giving me a job. Fuck them, I don't need this shit. The drummer, Vinny, I know you all know who's who, but fuck that, I'm going to express myself as I feel fit, Just shot me with a fucking rubber band, because he;'s incapable of communicating a simple thought, that is clear, concise, and understood. Now I'm going to make his drums sound like shit on the next song. This is how I keep this band in line. Jeremy, Scheremy. Nick, he's great. Well, I know you'd love to hear more, but I'm being called into the control room to try and save their sorry assses. So what else is new. I love these guys. Erico |
