Merovingian11's Music Thread.

[Merovingian11]

I have a thread I've been updating every few days in the R/P subforum.

https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...post1616117431

The people there are kinda boring so I decided to start a new one here.

This guy is a phenomenal drummer and I love the original song by Depeche Mode.

He does covers of a wide range of songs and nails it every time.

[Merovingian11]

And no this isn't me I just admire and enjoy the skill. I drum but not at this level.

[jtaylor2010]

Drummer huh?? I always knew you were a weirdo.




But srsly, nothing makes you appreciate the art of drumming more than sitting behind a set and trying to play. End up looking like a monkey trying to fukk a football and sounding horrible. I probably could’ve gotten decent with enough dedication, but they definitely didn’t come naturally to me like guitar. I think it takes a weird combination of the musical aspect of being right-brained and the structural aspect of being left-brained....which most people don’t have.

Lol, repped. Post a song bro. All my bros.

OK, gonna change it up cuz I do a fair bit of composing and this score is really good.



I used to have the action figures from the movie, they had cool mini bow and arrows and real cloth outfits. They got thrown away by my dad or his hoor girlfriend or something.

The middle part isn't as good but the first part and the outro when he arrives on the coast of England is amazing.

Scroll to around 5:45 for some beautiful French Horn.

and Changeling - I still cant work out the drums on this lol, I don't know what it is

[Merovingian11]

Thanks for the post Brosef. Interesting punk style metal.

IDK what happened with my avi that you made for me, it just disappeared. I'll try to get it back up and running.

Repzors.

Yea it's a little backwards with that early snare hit.

I've found if you program it in a DAW drum machine or sequencer it can help you wrap your head around it sometimes.

These kind of beats always mess with my head, I've got a few more songs I'll update with that have interesting grooves later. Cheers mate.

Would've been more appropriate a couple hours ago but it's still pretty early in my timezone.

Pretty far out of season but this wistful track is a favorite.



Good morning misc.

Eyy, definitely my favorite post-Wish Cure track.

Yeah, that’s a strong soundtrack. I actually have a pandora station created for nothing but tracks from movies because I think it’s some of the most under-appreciated music out there.




But today I’ll drop in something I saw/heard a few years ago that just blew me away because I think it may be the best example of one man turning a guitar into an entire band. Also because Buckingham is so underrated.



Can’t find a good clip with just Big Love so you get a bonus with this clip

Nice, I'm glad you liked it.

I'll see your 'Big Love' and raise you a 'Timebomb Town'.



Couple more classic scores.

[Merovingian11]

Featured in the movie 'Fear'.

Bonus is the scene where she pulls the dude's hand between her legs on the rollercoaster. Hnnng.

[Merovingian11]

As promised here's a strange reverse beat intro. I've gotten close before I think but it's really quite odd.



I have several on my mind but this will have to do for now.

[jtaylor2010]

I feel like this song needs some explaining because lots of people will probably write it off quickly, when actually they’d realize it is one of the best songs when it comes to love and moving on. Few songs have a better combination of lyrics and music to match the emotions being presented. We’ve all known someone(probably loved someone) who had so much potential yet couldn’t reach it/couldn’t control themselves and couldn’t be trusted/ and sometimes maybe even seemed cursed to make bad decisions. Accepting that and moving on is sad and liberating at the same time, and I think this song does a good job of expressing that.









Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from
When you roll in like thunder just to turn around and run
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay

You smell like moonlight and early morning rain
Pray til a fool but surrender to your pain
Or find a cure for your decay

[Chorus:]
You're at your best with an ache in your chest
And that worn out old song that you play
Only Jesus and you who long to teach us
Should know and be left to betray

I don't know the answer but I know who to blame
You can choose the dancer if you could choose the flame
I think you'll find they're one in the same
It doesn't have to be this way

[Chorus]

I don't know the answer but I know who to blame
Pray til a fool but surrender to your pain
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay

Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from
When you roll in like thunder just to turn around and run
It's a good thing I don't need you to stay
It doesn't have to be this way

You're my boy Blue.

Excellent track.

[Merovingian11]

The video has an extended into if you're into it, otherwise just stick to the shorter album track.





I can hit those low notes but not as expertly as the man himself.

[Merovingian11]

This piece played during the scene where Ludwig's nephew Karl tried to kill himself.

Good morning misc.

Sometimes I go on a bender but I look in the mirror and say to myself... "Same as it ever was".

How did I get here?

[Merovingian11]

Fun fact for those unaware. John Carpenter writes almost all of the scores for his films.

[jtaylor2010]

[Merovingian11]

Nice. Great performance.

It's remarkable that he's a drummer and vocalist. That's fairly rare. I have seen this performance before but thanks for sharing. As silly as they made it seem in the Hangover movie it's still a great song.

I'm always listening to this one tune. You do realize he used editing software for some of the drum effects right? He used acoustic drums for the loop and then edited the entire track for the final draft.
