No_Sir! Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 His vocals on One Man's Drinking Games were insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Jason is beast. Gah, I want Go Radio to put a new EP out or an album or something. I need more Jason! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drummer Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Why did Jason leave exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 He wanted to take a break from music for a while. There wasn't any animosity in his departure, he just wasn't feeling inspired to continue doing music and he wanted to leave. Then he realized that he couldn't imagine doing anything other than creating music so he started Go Radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drummer Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 They should just let him back in mayday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Sir! Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 It's funny though because like on Alex's twitter he'll be like "Going to see Go RAdio! You should come!" I think its awesome though. Still supporting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I don't think he wanted to go back to Mayday. Go Radio sounds a bit different than Mayday and I don't think he wanted to do the whole duel vocal thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I remember someone on another forum told me that Taking Back Sunday "tried to do the whole duel vocals like Mayday Parade and failed". Very little has humoured me as much as that did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Duel vocals are hard.... especially two dude vocalists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 TBS really do make it look easy though. They've had 4 sets of them and each one has sounded great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah, but when you think about it they weren't really like, melodic vocals necessarily. Usually with TBS they had a lead vocalist that does the main singing and another vocalist that does more of the yell/raspy things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I don't think Mayday are wildly different from that either. The only main difference (bar the fact that voices sound different, which you could argue is important but like I said TBS have had 4 combinations and they've managed fine) is that, in some songs, Mayday place more prominence on the 'backing' vocalist by giving him more parts to himself and not just singing different lyrics in the background. Mayday don't layer them in the same way. For the most part they rarely overlap the voices, except on a few choruses for depth and towards the end of songs. TBS, on the otherhand, use their backing vocalist like Mayday do towards the end of songs like Three Cheers and Jamie All Over except more throughout the song with Great Romances being a prime example. Also, you could argue that the songs where Jason was more prominent were the songs he himself wrote. Chances are they were intented in such a way, but we won't find out until album number 2 if that's the case. I'm not sure why I've wrote so much, holiday boredom I suspect. Feel free to "tl;dr" my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Actually, I agree. I guess I never realized it simply because you know, Mayday's vocals do sound so different and for some reason TBS's vocals seem kind of similar to me. I personally like the songs where Jason is lead better. The emotion in his voice is a lot more raw and expressive than Derek's, in my opinion.

Ross Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I prefer Jason too. But I ask myself, is the reason I like him more cause I'm in love with the man, or because, chances are, he wrote most of it so has the emotional connections to the songs that Derek doesn't? I'm thinking both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Sir! Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 ^Ross, you have a terribly good point there. Jason is very emotional. ALex's guitar parts are also emotional. It's insane! YOu get lost in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Jason does add the raw emotion that Derek sometimes lacks. I think with the new album however, since Derek is writing it, he'll have more of an emotional connection to the words. And as for the guitars, I have to agree Maddie. Alex has a way of making the guitar extremely emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm going to assume that it's Alex that plays it, but his solo at the end of Three Cheers is beyond sonically pleasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yes, Alex is the guitarist. And I agree... I was just listening to that song and as it reached the end I was like... "Oh geez, this makes my ears soooo happy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I love that song to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Me too! Its definitely one of my all time favorites.... its gonna sound so lame, but I want to get some of the lyrics from that song as a tattoo... I haven't chosen what lyrics yet though.

hubabalou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 A few I was thinking of were: "You know the words so sing along for me baby" "I'd give my heart as an offering" "Stay up all night with the stars" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Sir! Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 ^ Those are pretty sweet lyrics.Faith, your going to be like Nick. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubabalou Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Bahahaha, yeah.... I will. The more I think about it the more I want "stay up all night with the stars." with little stars around it. Oh my gosh, I want that so bad now. I just need to figure out where I would get it. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
