JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADSo here are the time stamps for each section so you guys can navigate easier for your spot. We tried to devide them so that everyone gets equal playing time. While on paper that might seem easy, in reality it's not. Some people will get a bit more playing time while others will get less. That's nothing personal it's just that the sections of the track aren't the same length. We hope you guys understand!
verse 1 - 0:03
prechorus 1 - 0:39
chorus 1 - 0:52
verse 2 - 1:22
prechorus 2 - 1:58
chorus 2 - 2:11
2:36 - 2:48 - for this section we thought it would be best to not play anything but instead let the lead and the rhythm player ( Jackson and Kfir) just let their notes ring out and slowly fade away
bridge - 2:49
build up 1st part - 3:25 - 3:44
build up 2nd part - 3:44 - 4:03
chorus 3 - 4:04
outro - 4:33
I'll upload it when i get on my pc.Do we have a backing track without the guitars playing?
Calvin, I'm gonna be blunt, managing 20+ people to a common goal is no easy task. The 3 people who have been working on leadership and organization have been working very hard FOR MONTHS.The way its worded makes it sound very very misleading and with ids reply basically telling me everything needs to be a similar sound.. basically if you guys wanted to do a collab song over a solo collab it would been nice to know from the beginning.. both are very different. And knowing we'd have a leader over see parts where people most likely don't need it.. i understand offering services at this rate like i said if the captain doesn't like it (it WILL come down to personal preference) they will make you change it. "It has to be good" more and more fun seems to be taken out with every step. Which was 100% why i thought we were doing it.
Okay gotta pop my two sense in.Calvin, I'm gonna be blunt, managing 20+ people to a common goal is no easy task. The 3 people who have been working on leadership and organization have been working very hard FOR MONTHS.
Every single decision we make takes lots of discussion and considerations to keep in mind.
New challenges arise and we have to adapt, there is no way every detail could have been planned from the get go.
I don't take lightly the disrespect of my peers' hard work.
What we are asking for is not unreasonable. We are asking EVERYONE to be a team player. This collaboration is not about any ONE person in particular, it's about ALL OF US.
We NEVER said you couldn't play what you wanted, it just needs to make sense in the context of the song.
If you are not prepared to be a TEAM PLAYER why did you sign up for a COLLABORATIVE project?
Take it or leave it. Your choice.
I agree 100%. Hindsight is 20/20, we can only move forward. We are all in this togetherHonestly Guys let's Just Go for it. There will probably Not even be a Problem judging from all the Videos we've already Seen for lead and rhythm
I am also excited about insta groups for sections. It will streamline the entire process, plus lots of scope for creative interactionsAnother side note, I saw insta groups were mentioned. Should we reach out ourselves or is that going to be done automatically? I’m personally excited to get started since y’all know I cant write my own stuff (at least I don’t think I can) and I need practice timeugh the woes of being a beginner in a sea of so many awesome players ! Lol
The entire idea was honestly that blues and rock were 2 different feels and we were gonna sway back and forth.Ok.....as I can see the situation is kinda tense. Just wanted to say that I get both parts.
@Calvin Phillips doesn't want his creative freedom taken away from, which I don't want either, but like @Aileé Guerra Aréizaga said....it has to sound cohesive. But that it doesnt mean identical.
If we are playing blues ....shredding is gonna sound kinda bad....unless one is Stevie Ray Vaughn. Also in the rock section some soft no distortion solo is gonna be kinda off too.
In both cases playing off key is also not gonna fly.
I think that the "leaders" job is not to censor our ideas, but to keep them grounded for the collab. Whats the best for the backing track and for the collab.
(For instance....synyster gates solo in the collab with Good Charlotte's The river song....no shredding there..cause it was not meant for the song)
We have been working on this for quite a while and this is the final stretch. Let's not fall apart over this.
Bro, of course we asked where everybody felt comfortable with. I asked specifically to be put in blues. We held auditions, and some people did not show. Therefore everybody who wanted to participate as lead got a spot.The entire idea was honestly that blues and rock were 2 different feels and we were gonna sway back and forth.
My issue is mainly that I KNOW there are people who aren't fond of me here. People who never follow anything of mine. Not a single like. And they are gonna be my captain?
Love or hate what I had to say it needed to be said. I know this is your first collab yourr arranging and quite honestly i feel the exact same vibe i got when the one guy on schecter forums did a collab. I entered and he completely ignored my entry cause "it wasn't good enough"
The same thing is happening here. You will make the person feel horrible. Like i said if you were.planning on doing a collab song over a bunch of solos it woulda been easier to say it at the start.
All I've seen honestly is more intimidation sent towards the players.
Wasn't trying to create drama but all im saying is everything changed.. even from deciding who goes where.. i swear we'd get a say and next thing you knew everyone went where you wanted them. The idea of an audition was for a vote that never happened. (I could be wrong there).
I understand the hardwork put in place. I just think you guys are over doing it a little. Im not going to say anything else on the matter but that if I write my solo think its cool and get told its not.. im probably just dropping out. Cause quite honestly i want my style and vibe to show.. not one that isnt to someone else personal taste so they don't think it doesn't fit the bill. And yes I feel personal opinions will weigh into there too. If you don't like what I have to say I'm sorry but honestly I felt that way since you guys went ahead and set lead spots without even asking people if they felt they fit there too.
WhatEdSaid in very corporate language XDI think the ego bit mighta been for me, and that's cool. This is a lot of work, and as far as I'm concerned, the captains are producers and Aileé is the executive producer.
Syn plays a lead for the next record, and the band thinks he can do better or the producer thinks he missed the mark, Syn may be a little flustered, but he's going back to the woodshed to try something else. 99 times out of 100, what he comes back with eventually will be better.
That's working collaboratively. It's a TEAM effort.
If someone feels they're being treated unfairly for PERSONAL REASONS by a captain (producer), they are welcome to escalate to the EP (Aileé), who is always nothing but fair.

Didn't you mean tiger king?I'm at work right now, so you bastards are lucky I didn't refer to a "tiger team" or some shit.
