jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2004 Vern has never had anything to do with the albums, so it doesn't matter in terms of what the CD sounds like. Deron plays all the bass except on 2 or 3 songs where Chad did it. There is no word on who their next live bass player will be, but they say they are looking for someone who can play better than Vern. They've been recording for the last several months. Release was originally said to be late summer, but was then pushed back to late fall, now they say maybe the end of this year, or at the latest early next year. Deron has said that as of last week they had 7 tracks done musically and have 3 more to do. With the 7 songs the album comes in at 30 minutes which means it will be longer than IDR since the average track so far is over 4 minutes. Lyrics have been written for a few songs and only a few have been recorded. They are what comes last in the recording after they know for sure where the song is going. They have been expirementing with all kinds of new and different amps and effects as well to keep the CKY sound moving forward. Announced/Rumored song titles are these. The band has mentioned all of them at one time or another.: All Power to Slaves Dropped and Doublecrossed(Left over from IDR) Woe is Me(Left over from IDR) First Things First 5 Years Later The Butchers Hand When the Tables Turn Beyond Repair Hold Your Breath Tripled Manic State(a continuation to the idea of Inhuman Creation Station) Apparently some of the titles have changed since they've been mentioned and it is unknown if they are doing anything with Woe is Me or Dropped and Doublecrossed. One song on the album is supposed to use the acoustic jam that Deron does at the end of the Haggard Behind the Scenes, I don't know if it's one of those or a different song completely. There will be 10 tracks though. One thing that has had me very interested is that Chad is very excited about soloing on this album. He has said that he and Deron will both be doing the solos. I don't know what to expect from Deron, but I know Chad is a long time shred fan and have heard him do some great stuff. He loves all the old stuff from Shrapnel records and one of his big influences is Paul Gilbert's work with Racer X. I don't know if he'll be trying anything like that on the albums, but it could work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doomsault Report post Posted August 4, 2004 You just raped my question, thanks. Oh yeah, I was watching something on MTV the other day and they had one of those shitbands on there and one of those fuckheads totally ripped off Chad's behind the back guitar throw.
