Annoy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 So, I guess it'd be fun to have a list of things that each band member does for every song on ATS, the thing is, I don't know what they do. haha. But I guess I'll start and someone can finish what I leave with. (I'll probably make a lot of mistakes and give wrong info. haha) The Requiem. - I think it's just the studio version, pumped through live speakers. I may be wrong. The Radiance. - It's a piano transition from Numb and Jo does the scratch speech while Mile plays the piano and sings lines from The Catalyst with a vocoder effect. Burning in the skies -Mike & Chester on vocals, Mike plays guitar solo, brad finger picks, Joe (I dunno), Rob drums. well, anyway, I rather someone with more understanding and knowledge give this info.

Robot Boy: N/A (hasn't been played live yet) Jornada Del Muerto: Chester Bennington - Vocals Mike Shinoda - Vocals/Keyboards Brad Delson - Guitar Joe Hahn - Samples (probably just at the beginning, he sometimes leaves the stage shortly after the song starts) Waiting For the End: Chester Bennington - Lead and backing vocals Mike Shinoda - Lead and backing vocals/guitar Brad Delson - Keyboards/guitar Phoenix - Bass/backing vocals Joe Hahn - Samples/backing vocals Rob Bourdon - Drums *Note: The "oh-oh" backing vocals in the first two choruses are sampled (they weren't for the first few shows, it's very noticeable on the DSPs when the change took place), Mike, Joe, and Phoenix sing over the top of them though. Blackout: Chester Bennington - Lead and backing vocals/drums/sampled drums Mike Shinoda - Lead vocals (on ending)/keyboards Brad Delson - Keyboards/drums Phoenix - Sampled bassline (he originally played it on an MPC, but starting in June 2011, he switched to playing it on his Starr Labs Z-Tar)/backing vocals Joe Hahn - Samples Rob Bourdon - Drums Wretches and Kings: Chester Bennington - Lead vocals/samples (on drum trigger pads) Mike Shinoda - Rapping/backing vocals/samples (either with the MPC-like pads on his keyboard or on the drum trigger pads by swapping with Chester during the chorus, and occasionally the intro as well) Brad Delson - Guitar/backing vocals Phoenix - Bass/backing vocals Joe Hahn - Samples/scratching/speech scratching/backing vocals Rob Bourdon - Drums *Note: The "hey hey hey" backing vocals are sampled, Mike, Brad, Phoenix, and Joe sing over the top of them though.

ChuckCheese Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 So Mike plays the synth parts of Jornada Del Muerto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Its kind of lame that most of the gang vocals are sampled, but it probably wouldn't sound as good with just the band singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 So Mike plays the synth parts of Jornada Del Muerto? Yep, the synth solo that comes in at 0:43 (on the studio version) is him. I don't think he plays anything before that, but I could be wrong. Its kind of lame that most of the gang vocals are sampled, but it probably wouldn't sound as good with just the band singing. I think they learned their lesson from experimenting with Hands Held High in a live setting that when they have a song with a lot of vocal layering, it's probably best to sample certain parts. Adding Joe and Brad to the mix with backing vocals (and utilizing Phoenix more often) certainly helps, but none of them are particularly strong singers, so augmenting them with the backing track works out better. If you listen to WFTE from the Berlin DSP, for example, and compare it with the same track from one of the recent Australian DSPs, the difference is like night and day when it comes to the backing vocals.

I don't think he plays anything before that, but I could be wrong. I THINK he plays the one constant "string-like" synth note from the very beginning.

Astat Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm normally the last guy to bump a 6-month old thread, but since the live versions of some ATS songs have evolved a bit over that timeframe, I've updated my post of all the live parts to reflect recent changes.
