Alkaline Trio - Burn (2009 Rehearsal) - The Alkaline Archive

[@caulrophobe]

The quirky drum pattern and tasty fills are a big part of what makes this such a great Alk3 song 🙏🥁

[@rickashton7721]

I could watch you play drums all day. I hope you know just how inspiring you are to so many drummers. Thanks for uploading these

[@DerekGrantMusic]

@rickashton7721 Aww, thanks for saying that buddy! It means a lot to hear that, especially now.

This is very good. Thank you.

[@jareposting]

I wish other bands would do this. Thank you Derek! Hope you’re doing well ❤

I want this entire Rehearsal (uncut and all banter contained in!) 💯💯

[@DerekGrantMusic]

Most of the banter between songs was boring minutia and hard to hear - adjusting tones and effects, talking about the weather, etc. Here's some bonus footage: bit.ly/3KOEWsl

@@DerekGrantMusic my man! 💯 Appreciate you!

[@444Yielding]

@@DerekGrantMusic OMG you're flexing the HD Flip stick cam! 🤣 (Didn't we all though?!) I don't have a first born, but something tells me id give 'em away to see more of your footage !

[@BenJamminftw]

Absolutely loving these videos lately. We miss you Derek!

[@scottrowan200]

​@DerekGrantMusic would love some of this content, discussing tones and or preproduction/writing content

[@GregGallagher]

Thanks for sharing this with us, we miss you Derek!

[@dextermorgan4432]

This is such a jam

[@spinthatrecord]

My favorite song! If I ever meet Matt I'm going to ask him if he can write out everyone learns faster on fire so I can get it tattooed 👌

[@mareyanewton2436]

My favorite alk3 song

[@Radicalstateart]

Thanks for the bonus footage!!✨️

[@soundslikesalai3375]

@DerekGrantMusic - I was wondering, how do you make your audio visualisers (like in your Back to Hell - Isolated Drums videos). I've been looking for a decent one for ages for my own channel videos?

[@DerekGrantMusic]

@soundslikesalai3375 I did them all in After Effects, pretty simple actually - I had trouble finding visualizers that fit the aesthetic of the band and/or my graphic style. The Back To Hell video has two audio reactive layers - one for the isolated kick drum and the other for the isolated snare then I added some subtle motion to the head and body of my photo to make it a little more interesting. Email the Gmail address on my channel and I'll walk you through it or even make a template for you.

[@Jamirofan2001]

do you think there's any fully 100% complete Alk3 songs in the vault that have yet to see the light of day?

[@DerekGrantMusic]

@el.sant0 There really aren't any studio recordings of completed songs that haven't been released. There's maybe 5 or 6 unfinished or abandoned song ideas from different album sessions, but most of them were left that way for a reason. There are demos of a lot of unreleased songs, the quality varies wildly but I think they would be great bonus tracks for deluxe editions.

[@DerekGrantMusic]

@el.sant0 Here are short clips of three instrumental tracks we recorded for Fender guitars during the This Addiction session in 2009: bit.ly/2009fenderclips

[@Tonberryscactuars]

Missed seeing Derek with the boys at the March show. I love AK3 songs but the last couple shows I didn't enjoy

[@Jamirofan2001]

had there ever been serious discussion of having you take a lead vocal track in an alk3 album?

[@DerekGrantMusic]

@el.sant0 We talked about doing an album of cover songs and I was potentially going to sing one of them

[@Jamirofan2001]

@@DerekGrantMusic what would have been your song of choice?

[@DerekGrantMusic]

I wanted to do Handsome Devil by The Smiths, or maybe She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult. But the other guys might have pushed for Born To Run for a laugh.

[@mmll25]

if you haven't, you should hear Derek sang I, Pessimist on the Past Live album/dvd, he is great on it
