Trying my best to act all cool and normal lol..."Mikeal, mate" like it happens two or three times a day haha.

Haha! I knew that "Beneath the mire" would get flamed for that opening riff. The working title for the riff was "The Russian" and never was intended to sound like fucking "Kashmir" which I still don't think it does. The syncopated drums and bass thump (snare, bassdrum etc) is quite silly but I think it beams confidence. I've been meaning to do a part like that since 1997...."When" has it but it's much faster and less to the point. The keyboard sound has got a lot of shit for sounding 80´s which it isn't...it's a Chamberlain mellotron string sound, it's definately not meant to sound like some updated string samples. Well, I can't say what you guys should like and don't like but now you might see the riff in a different light?

Cheers
Mike

Beneath the Mire is my favourite song since Still Life, partly because of that riff, and all 3 awesome solos, which I tabbed out about a week after GR was released. hooah

Haha, figures I'm criticizing something again as Mike checks over the thread.

It's good to have a little insight into the riff, but it still doesn't really change the appeal of it to me. Could just be that I'm not open to such a broad spectrum of music. Regardless, after that riff, the rest of the song is killer.

[all_sins_undone]

Ok, it may be a little out of control now.

 

[Powers]

I would quite like to touch him. Stroke his beard.

Hmmm...hairy.

 

[all_sins_undone]

Ok thats wrong.

 

[Powers]

Just jelous.

 

[Ermz]

Cool, well the last few posts should be indicative of why Mike rarely posts here anymore then

Remember what the thread topic is guys. The fact that Mike posted is no reason to start spamming the thread!

 

[all_sins_undone]

Pretty much Moonlapse, but you can't blame people for gettin' crazy when Mike responds. It's not a common occurence

 

[Lietuvis]

I think Mike left the forum right after he posted, so people wouldn't start sending him messages like crazy...

People, calm down!

Mike may be the main songwriter for the greatest band in the world, but he's still just another human being...

 

[all_sins_undone]

Well said Lietuvis guy.

 

[BastardSonOfGod]

Mike may be the main songwriter for the greatest band in the world, but he's still just another human being...

He's not a human being...

Mike:Here In Death's Dominion, Where Even Shadows Die
