if you want help the first thing to realise is that people will help you *if* they can *in their own time*.

The second thing to remember is that dissing people is generally not a good way to get help.

I think you are talking about the second Clawfinger album. It was released in 1995 and here's the sleeve as you described it:

The album is called "Use your Brain" [1995]

I was very happy to help Damiansito!!

Do you know their first album? It ROCKS!!!

Hawk you are the man !!! I am cursed (and blessed) with a "producer's ear." I can't digest as much music as most people and certainly not you. I have to know every note coming up from every instrument (to include vocals) and the way the instruments mesh with each other before I have "listened to a CD. I don't do that with every CD or even on every song on CDs I dig, but I do it on songs I like. I am envious of people that can dig songs without picking them apart like I have to do.

In the early 80s a lot of friends of mine were musiscians and they used to analyze ervery damned note I played them. I was very afraid to become like that if I learned to play an instrument and understand musical theory. I quit my music lessons and decided for a life in front of the stage instead of on it.

Ha ha ha it has nothing to do with music theory or being a musician. My ear is what made me a musician, not vice-versa. I never listen to a chord and think a "d" or imagine such player is playing in a certain scale. In fact, my listening is almost spiritual. I couldn't sing the lyrics to more than 50 songs (seriously and a good bit of them are Metal Church) though I know how to pronounce every word of hundreds but I can't string them together.
I'm a fairly normal guy in the fact that I get up everyday and go to work, kiss the wife when I get home, pet the dogs and cats etc. but I have to have polyphonic listening skills and it takes practice on every song. What I mean is that I not only hear the blend of every instrument (to include vocals) but all of them individualy as well as at the same time and the way they work together to form a song.
That is why I say I have a "producer's ear." I am not saying I am talented. Shit.... I listen to the same song thirty times in a row sometimes, but I have to know how each instrument works with the others in songs I like. It's both a burden and a blessing, but it is honestly how I listen to a lot of music.
I have through sheer determination forced myself to listen to and enjoy stuff without doing what comes natural and it works, but that is 25% of my listening habits. The rest is me studying every part of the song until I can not only "sing" it in my head, but play every instrument in my mind at the same time.


This is the first time I have ever told anyone this in such depth so I feel a bit awkward.

heh that's cool of you, I also don't want to become a real musician, even if I analyse a lot what singers do ;)
 
Damn Bryant, how do you keep from going insane listening to music like that??!!! Too much work for me. :)

My "listening habit" is looking for influences. Comparing bands to other bands.... I try to do it in positive ways. Every band "borrows" from other bands, I like trying to pick that stuff out. It's just a habit I've gotten into.

Hmmmm..... it is simply "normal" for me. It's not something I try to do. in fact when I can, I try to force myself not to. It sucks in some ways because my ear is sensitive and if I hear something in a band I don't like, I have to continue listening to it in order to get "used" to it. When I first heard Panic cell (Baldy's Band) the snare sounded like a floor tom with snare springs on it to me. To most people that's a minor thing and it really isn't tuned "that low" but it took a few spins for me to get used to it. That's not to say I expect ANY band to sound a certain way, but I have to "learn" to like certain aspects of probably 98% of the new bands I hear.

I probably do look for influences as well, but I often hear them in different ways than many people. I stated that Tad Morose reminded me of Accept and Fang asked me why and I had to really work some half dead brain cells hard to describe why. It isn't because any musician of TM sounds like Accept or that they played any chord progressions that reminded me of an Accept song, but it was simply the way both bands blend melody and power. Both bands have a knack for doing that in a way only a very very few bands do. We all have different ears, so it may not sound that way to others, but I see big similarities in the two.

quite funny you should say that about the snare sound bryant-lee's snare is actually a v.vdeep one,so the floor tom analogy is relatively accurate.damn those sensative ears!!!
why arnt you earning millions producing top rock/metal albums?
