New Music: Final Masquerade (Acoustic)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I haven't listened yet, but is it possible that they recorded this the other day when they posted an Instagram picture of all six guys in the studio talking?

Mike specifically refers to it as something they did "the other day," so possibly (this is another thing that rules out the Machine Shop acoustic performance - that was well over a month ago, not "the other day"). However most "studio" pictures Mike posts, that one included, are just from the band's weekly meetings (Mondays) at his house. This sounds like something that was recorded in a more professional environment...not saying they couldn't have done it at Mike's but the vocal production and the clarity of the acoustic guitar don't sound consistent with other stuff they've recorded there.

I really enjoyed the song, but I like the album version better. I don't know why but it kind of sounds like a Christmas song for me. It sounds great, but in my opinion the piano should also be playing chords and they should add some violin near the end.

 

By the way, someone should edit the main post and add the word "probably" in almost every sentance.

Very nice new interpretation of the song.

 

As Astat pointed out before this was likely recorded at a studio. Maybe the Machine Shop performance inspired them to record the songs properly. There's just no way this was recorded at Machine Shop unless they have a proper studio, Mike's place seems much more likely. If you look at the LOATR video, they don't even use microphones, just like the summit performances.

 

I wonder if they really did this before the tour, wasting potential time for rehearsals or if they did this in the past weeks because the tour was canceled...

Could anyone send me a link to that video?

Overall a very good song. I don't really like Mike's delivery in the first verse because it sounds lazy but he usually doesn't sing in such a low register. I'll still hand it to him for doing some Hong new though. Chester sounds good and isn't straining his voice. Its acoustic, so there won't be any screams and everything is laid back. I really like the Cello in the song, it sounds great. Hoping for them to do this with other songs soon.

Fixed the main post.

Shouldn't it say "Edit... by Hahnitator" then, cause usually when a post gets edited it says when it was edited and by whom. I consider it as a important information espacially when the post is edited by somebody else than the original author himself

Great version of the song. I really like acoustic versions in general, and this one has really interesting point of view on the song as well, and as Brad said, it lets the world and the text lead the way, which I really like.

Are we actually going to debate this? Most staff don't get the "Edited by" line when editing a post. We have to enable it when editing the post which can easily be forgotten.

 

If it makes you feel better, I was the original editor. Thiugh I was only listening to a certain someone what I should put in :P

Can't say I'm a very big fan of this version. It's not bad, but even though it's an acoustic version, it still seems..bland. Not a fan of the guitar or Mike's singing in the first verse either.

What notes are they using on this version?

I can tell you without a doubt that the notes fall somewhere between A and G#.

 

Lol.

Thank you for your contribution.

Just go ahead and put me on staff, since I'm the most helpful person around here.

I've only listened a couple of times, but this version is awesome. I still think I perfer the original, but this version is still sexy. I could almost see it in a movie trailer.

Maybe LP should release a whole acoustic version of THP. It'd be an interesting side-release for the band, similar to Recharged for LT.

I don't think songs like KTTK would bode well with acoustics, if you ask me.
