Step by step people!

The greatest thing about songwriting is that you get to see your material get nurtured and begin to be in good shape. We had a material(song) called "Remembering 1984" which was really supposed to be a mellow type of song. But it doesn't suit our genre at ALL. So the wise bass player Philip Sanico had to place in "touches" using Guitar Pro to make it more "Madison" sound like.

And thus, distortions and pop beats were added.

It was a bit fast, but hey it wasn't final yet. :) We still had our own imagination of what "Metal Pop" would sound like or better yet "Pop with Distortion". If it's a song you made then you're free to do with what you like with your material.

Remembering 1984 - From Mellow to "Distorted Pop". Philip Sanico, thank you bai!

Now Playing: Control by Metro Station. WTH.

Vintage Music vs Modern Music

No, I'm not gonna start a debate over The Beatles and the new bands. We all know it only leads to one answer: "The Beatles is unbeatable!" and those other stuffs we know. While I was browsing through my Twitter account for friends' updates, I saw Ryan Ross' (former guitarist of Panic! at the Disco) tweet which stated about his new band. And since I'm a fan of the band, I visited his new band's myspace page. Ryan's new band was called The Young Veins. From then on, I knew what was Brendon Urie's (vocalist of P!ATD) genre and Ryan's genre.



Vintage Music anybody?
The Young Veins (Ryan Ross' new band) managed to make their band to sound like the 70's again. Which was I believed, Ryan Ross' genre. Or in a simple way...

Classic Music = Joyful music with sad lyrics. That's what I observed.
OR
Ryan Ross' "Change" = Vintage music, Deep lyrics.

Let's jump to Modern Music shall we?
Panic! at the Disco will soon be having their 3rd album and all I can say is that they are doing their Panic! thing again. Everybody knows Pretty. Odd. (2nd album) was probably their "downfall" album compared to their 1st one, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. The 2nd album was turned to 70's music, instead of their Dance Rock/Pop genre. It made their fans confused of the switch in genre. With their new single "New Perspective" I'm sure their fans including myself, would love to buy their new album soon. So...

Modern Music = ...Free genre? or Pop? Things have changed, you know.
OR
Brendon Urie's "New Perspective" = Pop music, can't compete with Ryan Ross' deep lyrics. Still maintains the Panic!'s Dance Rock/ Pop theme.

So Panic! at the Disco fans, you tell me which musician struck you most.
