White Widdow / Wild Rose

Well I just watched this and just as I suspected (and I say this with all due respect Jules because you're a cool dude) , the pitch correction on the album is obviously very much needed...

 

 

Watch that and HEAR what I am talking about. White Widdow is a studio band , plain and simple...just like the highly overrated Eden's Curse fronted by that douchebag Michael "I started the whole bootleg craze with Ryan Northrup" Eden.

 

Sorry peeps , I am not a fan of autotune.

Sorry mate, but the day I base my thoughts on an artist after seeing a youtube video shot by someone in the crowd, well, it won't happen. There is no way in the world you can gauge what was going on based on that. I saw Lindsay's video he posted for Crashdiet's 'Beautiful Pain' and having been there, I know that there is a full 100% polar opposite between what it sounded like live and what it sounds like on a tinny youtube recording. And same with Pete's video with Newman... it's all very entertaining to watch, but to rate a vocalist based on that... not at all fair, or remotely valid, imo.

 

Anyway, that said, I have seen The Deadthings and White Widdow about 6 times now, and they have never once disappointed. Jules puts everything into his perfomance each time, and if I'm being totally I honest, I actually possibly prefer his live vocal to the album vocals. Especially in the case of The Deadthings, where I was constantly asking why they sounded so good live, yet the production job on the CDs really let them down.

A couple of my mates were at Firefest and reported back that WW were pretty sloppy and generally very disappointing live, especially vocally (using backing tapes too, naughty boys). I wasn't there so can't really say, so maybe Glen can comment further.

    • I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.  
    • Yep, cracking indie release of which there are so many but this one is actually really good.
    • I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here  
    • Babymetal - Metal resistance Babymetal - The other one
    • Enjoyed their last cd "Human Nature" remind me of a mellower Black Stone Cherry, similar to Little Caesar.
    • BlackRain - Hot Rock Time Machine Lee Aaron - Bodyrock
    • Now theres a blast from the past  I'm lucky enough to possess 
    • Another i'm still awaiting the arrival of...same day release/delivery my arse Amazon  Still this is sounding like their best release thus far...they are gaining and getting better...although I did enjoy the last few albums also...but the sound/production from this one is excellent.
    • Still awaiting mine to arrive...should've been on Weds  or according to my order that was the case anyway
