Dwar l-ewwel Fighters tal-il-Foo kanzunetta qatt rilaxxati – Storja tagħha u xi fatti

August 23rd, 2011

This piece is all about the very first single for release by the Foo Fighters, the grunge/rock band established by Dave Grohl, and a variety of additional connected information and facts linked to it.

Made available in the middle of 1995, less than a year after Dave Grohl first developed the concept of the Foo Fighters subsequent to his, and the previous group’s bass man Krist Novoselic’s necessary split from Nirvana, the first song named ‘This Is A Call’ was released.

‘This Is A Call’ is from the Foo Fighters first eponymous album.

This song is a very big ‘Hello’ and ‘Thank you’ by the group’s chief writer and also lead singer, Dave Grohl, to all the people he performed with in various bands as a hired session musician and performer in addition to when he was Nirvana’s drummer.

Oddly, during an age when pretty much every track released by a music group is followed with a music video, ‘This Is A Call’ was made available with no endorsed video produced for promoting the single.

The song’s B-side often contained the track ‘Winnebago’, though there was in fact a release called a ‘one-sided’ single where ‘This Is A Call’ ended up being the solitary song. Another track contained largely in twelve inch records/CDs or audio cassettes was ‘Podunk’, composed by Dave Grohl.

After the track’s release in the United States singles chart ‘This Is A Call’ broke into the record charts at position 12 and made its way towards number 2 where it actually peaked. A very good result taking into account Foo Fighters at the time were a new band, though much of the music buying consumers were being made aware of the link to former, widely successful group Nirvana.

Throughout the UK, where alternative rock has almost always had a huge following including the above mentioned Nirvana, the song turned out to be a top 5 song actually peaking at number five. Britain has got a big Foo Fighters audience these days.

The rock group’s first nationwide tv appearance was playing this song live on The Late Show With David Letterman. As a consequence, Foo Fighters have played on The Late Show With David Letterman 10 more occasions through the years since performing ‘This Is A Call’ because David Letterman has become a massive follower.

Together with other well-known rock bands tunes on Rock Band, the computer/video/console game, it provides ‘This Is A Call’ as a download song that initially was obtainable in 2008.

The track additionally performed highly throughout Canada, getting to position number 1 within that country’s alternative charts. And charted as a hit single within different European countries including the Netherlands as well as Eire and Antipodean countries like Australia and New Zealand.

Foo Fighters first ever single release, ‘This Is A Call’, started the process and also put down the foundation to get future musical success throughout the world that is currently being experienced by the band all of these years down the line and if perhaps you can acquire Foo Fighters tickets 2011 for their live shows you’ll probably be able to experience the record live.

Music Production Laptop Review

August 19th, 2011

I have had the opportunity of using music production laptops pretty mush most brand of laptop out there this year given what I do. I have loaded FL Studio and M-Audio controllers on every one of the laptops below. In case anyone is considering purchasing a laptop, you may be able to use this information before you buy:

Lenovo T61:
My recommendation for music production:
Incredible machine. Fast and runs the drivers for the m-audio well. The boot is a little slow due to the Lenovo management software. The biggest advantage of the Lenovo’s is they ground their boards out like Apple does so you don’t get the “power buzz” out of it when its on AC power.

HP NW8xxx series, NC6000:
Do NOT buy HP anything if you are going to produce. HP DOES NOT ground their boards properly and you get a terrible AC Buzz through your USB or Firewire interfaces. Laptops have great performance, Madankollu, the buzz is unbearable. I had to run this one on battery all the time when recording vocals. Stay away from Compaq/HP for music production.

Toshiba:
These machines are terrible – avoid them. Warranty is terrible and performance is terrible. I had horrible performance and stability with these machines, especially in Ableton.

Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro:
Excellent machines for music production. Downside is these are expensive so if you have the money, go for it. Their warranties and extended are expensive, Madankollu, these are the best grounded machines. I got the least amount of buzz out of these from AC. For this reason, they make excellent machines for music production on the MAC or Windows side.

Dell:
Dell isn’t bad. I tested an XPS laptop. I personally am not a big fan of Dell given their support and construction. They are pieced together from Samsung contracts in Malaysia. I did hear a higher level buzz from the Dell than the Lenovo, but it wasn’t much worse. Performance and stability is good with the Dell.

Recommendation:
Over the last year and a half, I have switched laptops for testing for my job and inevitably loaded Ableton and VSTS/drivers for testing the machines for the hell of it for my own knowledge.

Out of them all, I was surprisingly impressed with the Lenovo T61 quality and quietness when running in the studio. I think the Lenovo is the closest to the Apple MacBook in terms of a machine built to do music.

I think you can’t go wrong with either the Lenovo T series (stay away from the Ideapad series) or the Apple Macbook series. Apple was without a doubt the quietest machine in the studio followed by the Lenovo. I would recommend if you are only going to run Windows, go Lenovo. If you want the MAC OS, go Apple Macbook Pro.

By all means, stay away from any HP/Compaq models as they obviously don’t know how to ground their boards and you get ridiculous amounts of noise out of them when on AC power.

I would quite honestly stay away from everything else with the exception of Dell if for some reason you can’t buy an Apple or Lenovo.

L-storja tal-Fighters il-Foo

29 ta ' Mejju, 2011

Dave Grohl – tiegħi ħajja fil- Fighters il-foo
“I kien suppost eżatt jingħaqdu band oħra u jkun a drummer l-bqija tal-ħajja tiegħi,” Grohl"
“Ħsibt li kien pjuttost nagħmel dak ħadd mistennija miegħi biex tagħmel. I igawdu miktub tal-mużika u I igawdu tipprova ikanta, u m'hemm xejn xi ħadd verament jistgħu jagħmlu biex jiskoraġġixxu miegħi.”

Dave Grohl jingħaqad Nirvana kif drummer tal-grupp fl-album gandha 1990.The għalihom kien, mhux hekk, Nevermind. Fil-bidu, DGC rekords kien hoping li jbiegħ 250,000 kopji ta ' Nevermind, li kien l-istess livell huma kienu milħuqa b Goo G˙alihom taż-żgħażagħ tal. Madankollu, l-album l-ewwel wieħed “Jinxtamm bħal Teen spirtu” momentum malajr rebħu, Grazzi għal airplay sinifikanti tal-vidjo tal-mużika tal-kanzunetta fuq MTV fil-parti. Kif huwa toured Europe matul tard 1991, il-banda sabet li tiegħu il-wirjiet kienu jiżżerżqu oversold, illi l-ekwipaġġi televiżivi kienu qed issir a preżenza kostanti onstage, u dak “Jinxtamm bħal Teen spirtu” kien kważi omnipresent fuq it-televiżjoni tar-radju u l-mużika. Dak ix-xahar numru Nevermind laħaq, Billboard proklamata, “Nirvana hija dik faxxa rari li jkun kollox: acclaim kritika, ir-rispett ta ' l-industrija, pop tar-radju ta ' l-appell, u l-blat-solidu Kulleġġ/alternattiva bażi. L-album eventwalment jbiegħu fuq 8.5 kopji miljun fl-Istati Uniti u matul 1/2 miljun Kunċert biljetti.

"B ' Nevermind ħsibt fl-nwar kienet se tkun il-" daqqa smash’ Itfi l-rekord, jew tal-litju. Ħsibt jinxtamm bħal Teen spirtu ġiet maqtugħa track album ieħor eżatt. Aħna rreġistrati li biha titkanta din malajr, u naħseb kienet waħda mill-kanzunetti tal-produttur Butch Vig, u malajr deher biha titkanta din biċ-ċar li ma jkunx l-kanzunetta speċjali fuq ir-rekord. Imma ovvjament f'dak il-punt ma na˙sbu li xi ħaġa kienet se jiġri bl-rekord. "Ħsibt Teen spirtu tista tikseb fuq MTVs 120 Minuta u ħallih lilna tour maż-żgħażagħ G˙alihom, imma l-ebda wieħed maħsub kienet waħda suċċess minħabba li [li] kien ftit unimaginable.

Madankollu l-Cobain kienet misjuba mejta fl tiegħu Seattle fid-dar fuq April 8, 1994, u Nirvana sussegwentement maqsuma. “Wara Nirvana kien fuq kien ikolli offerti minn dawn nies differenti kollha biex jingħaqdu tagħhom band bħala a drummer – Tat-TOM f'akkont, Danzig – imma ma nixtieqx li twaqqaf wara l-drumkit u fuqiex Nirvana għall-bqija tal-ħajja tiegħi. Ħsibt li dan ikun xi xorta ta ' terapija cathartic, biex tmur t- u jirreġistraw dawn il-kanzunetti li I kienet miktuba minni. Hekk I prenotat sitt ijiem fuq Robert Lang studios fil Seattle, li lili kien xi eternity – I qatt ma kienu fl-istudjo jien stess għal aktar minn sitt sigħat. I marru fil-ma [il-produttur] Barrett Jones. Aħna ntilef hemm fid-disgħa ta ' filgħodu u sa nofsinhar aħna kienu lesti biex imorru. Aħna stralċjata reġistrazzjoni kanzunetti erba kuljum. I kien mhux sigura madwar l-vuċi tiegħi. Taf kif Poplu doppju vocals tagħhom biex jagħmluhom aktar b ' saħħitha? Dik l-album l-vocals huma quadrupled. Ma nixtieqx li jkun a minn barra-ċomb, I ma setax fucking ikanta.”

Grohl kellu t-tama għal żżomm tiegħu l-anonimità u itlaq il-kanzunetti fil-ġirja limitat taħt it-Titolu “Fighters il-foo”, meħuda mill-kelma II Gwerra Dinjija “il-foo tal”, użat biex jirreferi għal UFO's . Madankollu, -demo tape iċċirkolati fl-industrija tal-mużika, biex toħloq interess fost tikketti tar-rekord. Grohl iffurmati strixxa biex isostnu l-album. Fil-bidu, Grohl talked biex ex Nirvana fizzjal faxxa Krist Novoselic dwar ssieħbu fil-grupp, imma t-tnejn iddeċieda kontra huwa. Wara li tkun semgħet dwar l-disbanding tal-banda bbażati fuq Seattle emo Sunny jum Real Estate, Grohl abbozzat player tal-bass tal-grupp, Nate Mendel, u drummer, William Goldsmith. Grohl talbet lil Pat Smear, li servew bħala a guitarist touring għall-Nirvana wara r-rilaxx tal- 1993 l-Album fl-utru, sabiex jissieħbu bħala guitarist tieni tal-grupp.

Il-foo Fighters magħmula tagħhom noħroġ ħaj fuq March 3, 1995 waqt li juru fuq il-Satyricon fl-Portland. Segwew li mal-Uri fil-Elvis bellusin fil Seattle fuq March 4. il-Foo Fighters intrabat tagħhom ewwel tour maġġuri fir-rebbiegħa ta ' l- 1995, il-ftuħ għall-Mike Watt. Il-faxx tal-ewwel wieħed “Din hija sejħa” kienet rilaxxata f ' Ġunju 1995, u tiegħu Debutt album Fighters il-Foo kienet rilaxxata x-xahar li jmiss. “I ikollok jeħel”, “Għall-baqar kollha” u l- “Kbira il-Kuntatti Maġenbi” kienu rilaxxati bħala singles sussegwenti. Il-banda imqatta-xhur li ġejjin fuq tour, inklużi l-ewwel dehra fil-Festival tal-qari fl-Ingilterra f'Awissu.
Il-Foo-kienu issa jibdew verament "taqta l-mustarda" ħajjin. Żmien twil ilu, ried tipped Grohl off dwar il-sigriet tal-ħajja twila fil-rock'n' kellek: Ma jkunx dwar albums kemm inti ibiegħu; huwa dwar biljetti kemm inti ibiegħu. Mindu, hu kien dedikat ħafna mill-ħin tiegħu għal trasformazzjoni l-Foos mill-istudjo waħedha endeavor fis-stadju tajjeb oiled magna. “Meta I ingħaqad mall-band, Aħna miġbuda ħajjin,” Hawkins tfakkar. “U aħna qed għadhom ma taġ. Aħna qed sloppy, rough madwar it-truf. Li huwa parti ta ' l-charm tagħna. Imma aħna ngħaqadt gotten verament tajba, u naħseb fuq tagħna turi aħjar , Aħna jistgħu jieħdu xi ħadd.”

Wara ġġorrx permezz tal-molla ta ' l- 1996, Il-foo Fighters daħal studjo fl-Woodinville, Washington mal-produttur Gil Norton li jirreġistra l-album tieni tiegħu. Waqt li Grohl darb kitbu l-kanzunetti kollha, il-bqija tal-band kkollaboraw dwar l-arranġamenti. Mal-kważi matul is-sessjonijiet , Grohl sar-taħlitiet mhux miegħu biex Angeles ' lqugħ ta ', bl-intenzjoni li spiċċa l-tiegħu partijiet vokali u guitar. Waqt li kien hemm, Grohl realizzata li hu iex kuntentizza ma kif il-taħlitiet kienu jduru l-, u l-banda “bażikament mill-ġdid irreġistrati kważi kollox”. Matul l-L.A. sessjonijiet, Grohl jinqara tnabar fuq uħud mill-kanzunetti. Goldsmith qal Grohl kienx mhux tell lilu li hu rreġistrat partijiet tanbur ġodda għar-rekord u, jikkontribrixxu betrayed, ħallew il-banda.

Fil-bżonn ta ' tibdil għall-Goldsmith, Grohl kkuntattjati tal Alanis Morissette tat-touring drummer Taylor Hawkins biex tara jekk huwa jista jirrakkomanda xi ħadd. Grohl kien surprised meta Hawkins fuq l-għażla tiegħu stess servizzi bħala drummer. Hawkins magħmula tiegħu noħroġ mal-grupp fi żmien għar-rilaxx ta ' l-album li jmiss tiegħu, Il-kulur u l-forma, f ' Mejju 1997. L-album spawned-singles “Monkey Wrench”, “Tiegħi jiżvantaġġja”, u l- “Everlong”.
Pat Smear ħabbret li l-bqija tal-grupp li hu ried li jħallu l-faxxa li jsegwu interessi oħra. ' Erba ' xhur aktar tard f'Settembru 1997 fuq l-MTV premjijiet tal-vidjo tal-mużika, Tiċpisa simultanjament pubblikament ħabbret it-tluq tiegħu mill-banda u introdotti is-sostituzzjoni tiegħu, Tal-Grohl ex Scream bandmate Franz Stahl. Stahl toured mal-banda għall-ftit xhur li jmiss, u deher fuq żewġ binarji li l-faxxa rreġistrati għall-filmat soundtracks, a mill-ġdid tar-reġistrazzjoni ta ' l- “Bil-mixi wara li inti” Il-fajls X u “A320” għall-Godzilla.

Fl- 1998, Fighters il-foo traveled li l-Istat fid-dar tal-Grohl tal-Virginia biex tikteb mużika għat-tielet album. Madankollu, Grohl u Stahl ma setgħux ko joperaw bħala songwriters; Grohl g Kerrang!fl- 1999, “dawk fi ftit ġimgħat biss mid-dehra bħas-tliet minna kienu li jimxu f'direzzjoni waħda u Franz iex”. Grohl kien distraught dwar id-Deċiżjoni-nar Stahl, kif it-tnejn kienu ilhom ħbieb mit-tfulija. -Trio li fadal ta ' Grohl, Mendel, u Hawkins imqatta-diversi xhur li jmiss tal-faxxa tielet album tar-reġistrazzjoni, M'hemm xejn xellug jitlef il-, fl-Grohl-Virginia studjo fid-dar. L-album spawned singles diversi, inkluż “Tgħallem li d-dubbiena”, tal-banda unika ewwel għand l-US sħun 100.

Wara l-irrekordjar kienet mimlija , il-banda auditioned numru ta ' l-guitarists potenzjali, u eventwalment jiġu riżolti Chris Shiflett, li twettaq ma ' Kuntatti Maġenbi ewwel u l-Gimmes Gimme, u mwettqa qabel ma faxxa punk California, L-ebda użu għall-isem. Shiflett fil-bidu ingħaqad mall-band bħala ġġorrx guitarist, imma jinkiseb l-istatus full-time qabel ir-reġistrazzjoni ta ' l-album ir-raba ' tal-grupp.

Shiflett, 36, hija a Agħmel bantam u tiegħu blu tarbija jipprestaw lilu-xebħ li jgħaddi biex Roger Daltrey. “Dritt issa aħna l-m'intix f ' dak il-post weird fejn aħna ngħaqadt magħmula dan ġodda album u aħna m ' għandekx ruħek jaqrah għadhom,” hu tinnota bejn l-gdim tal-perżut u l-bajd sandwich. “I inqisu l-lista stabbilita, u jien bħal, "Whoa. M ' għandekx ruħek biex tilgħab li waħda waħda jew dik, u l-, OH, li wieħed m ' għandekx għandna stabbiliti jew.’

Ħdejn l-għan ta ' l- 2001, il-banda ' jitlaqqa ' biex jirreġistra l-album ir-raba ' tagħhom. Wara erba xhur fl-istudjo Angeles ' lqugħ ta ' l-infiq qed ilesti l-album, Grohl imqatta xi żmien jgħinu irġejjen tal-età Stone kompleta tagħhom 2002 l-Album kanzunetti għat-torox. L-album finali kienet rilaxxata f'Ottubru ta ' l- 2002 taħt it-Titolu wieħed b ' wieħed. Singles mill-album inklużi “Kollha tiegħi fuq il-ħajja”, “Drabi bœal dawn”, “Baxxa”, u l- “Iqabbad kollha”.

Il-banda espress aktar tard displeasure ma ' l-album. Grohl g Rolling Stone fl- 2005, “Erbgħa tal-kanzunetti kienu tajbin, u l-oħra seba I qatt jinqara mill-ġdid fil-ħajja tiegħi. Aħna rushed fih, u aħna rushed minn dan.”
Wara li imqatta li sena u nofs tat-touring lura waħda waħda, Grohl ma riedx taġ fis-reġistrazzjoni rekord ieħor Fighters il-Foo. Fil-bidu Grohl maħsuba biex jiktbu materjal akustiċi minnha nnifisha, imma eventwalment l-proġett involuti l-faxxa kollu. Biex tirrekordja l-album ħames tiegħu, il-banda kienet Angeles ' lqugħ ta ' u mibni studjo reġistrazzjoni, iddabbjati Studio 606 Tal-Punent. Grohl sostniet li l-album jinqasmu f ' żewġ diski – wieħed sħiħ tal-kanzunetti tal-blat, il-mogħdijiet oħra featuring akustiċi. Fl-unur tiegħek kienet rilaxxata f ' Ġunju 2005. Singles tal-album inklużi “Aħjar li inti”, “L-AOD”, “Jirrisolvu”, “Ebda mod lura/kesħa ġurnata fix-xemx”, u l- “Miracle”.

Għall-insegwiment fl-tiegħek unur, il-banda iddeċidiet li ssejjaħ il-kulur u l-produttur forma Gil Norton. Echoes, Silenzju, Paċenzja & Grace kienet rilaxxata-ta ' Settembru 25, 2007. L-album l-ewwel wieħed, “The Pretender”, was issued to radio in early August. In mid-to-late 2007 “The Pretender” topped Billboards Modern Rock chart for a record 18 weeks; it also gave the band their third consecutive year at the top (a record).

Foo fighters spent the Summer of 2008 on the festival circuit and moved into the big league in the UK.Here he recalls his T in the Park stint.THE KILLERS take the stage. “Man, that band gets the loudest singalongs,” he says. “Our dressing room was right behind the stage last night (at T In The Park) and all you could hear was the crowd singing along to every word – not just the choruses, they even shout out the verses. I’m glad we don’t have to go on after them. Luckily, we’re on after Keane . Their crowd are a bit more sensible than ours. They all stand towards the back and sway while all the grimy kids who are down the front get twitchy for guitars. That’s when we come on and nail them!”

On 17 September 2008 Dave Grohl announced on The Chris Moyles Show that the band would be taking a long break from music so that they could return with a new sense of purpose, and also informed fans not to expect any new music for a while. “We’ve never really taken a long break, I think it’s time,” Grohl commented. “After doing Wembley, we shouldn’t come back there for 10 years because we’ve played to everybody. We’re over in the UK every year, every summer, so I think it’s time to take a break and come back over when people really miss us.”

The band began recording their seventh studio album in July 2010 with producer Butch Vig, who had previously produced the two new tracks for the band’s Greatest Hits album. The album was recorded in Dave Grohl’s garage using only analog equipment. Vig said in an interview with MTV that the album was entirely analog until post-mastering. Pat Smear was present in many photos posted by Grohl on Twitter and a press release in December confirmed Smear played on every track on the record and was considered a core member of the band once again, having initially left as a full time member in 1997 before returning as a touring guitarist in 2006.

With 2011’s line-up of Taylor Hawkins on drums, Nate Mendel on bass, Chris Shiflett and the returning Pat Smear on lead guitar, the Foo Fighters have rarely been so surefooted going into an album launch. It has been a long time since 23 October 94, when the sessions for the self-titled debut were concluded. Grohl protests that he is not one for retrospection, but to coincide with the album’s release he has commissioned a forthcoming Foo Fighters documentary, and it’s put him in a reflective mood.

He explains: “I thought, ‘Now is a good time to make a history-of-the-band documentary because if we wait any longer it’ll just be too long’. There are still people who are shocked to hear that I was the drummer of Nirvana. I just laugh. I assume that people like the Foo Fighters because I was the drummer of Nirvana, and every now and then I’ll meet people who had no idea that I was even in [the band], so maybe it’s time to tell the story. If you think about it, Butch [Vig] and I have this incredible story between the two of us; the first time the two of us got together to work was to make an album 20 years ago and so much has happened to us in that time. ‘Nevermind’ was such a huge part of our lives and it changed them forever.”
