Episode 15 - Failure Update

[@englishiowa]

I can’t believe we are actually getting a remaster of YotR. The guitar tones and songwriting on that album was so influential to me at that part of my life.

[@GregoryHyde]

Will it also be available on CD or only vinyl?

[@BenBreard]

Second only to a second YOTR record. ..... I'm still hoping for that. :)

[@joebob2311productions]

I only came across YotR yesterday on Spotify and now this

[@stevedietlein4189]

God I'm so pumped for this

[@bluericardo]

All this is very cool... but when are Failure coming to tour in Europe??! 😅

[@shanegrush]

Welcome back, Ken!

[@billy2896]

OMg MY HEART IS RACING NEW KEN ANDREWS VIDEO AND YOTR REMASTER??!!!!! i cant wait to watch this video. :,,) thanks for uploading again!

[@irish80-93]

YOTR one of the most slept on albums ever anyone I've introduced Failure to also love YOTR equally especially Say Goodbye can't wait for all stuff introduced here today🤘🤘🤙🤙

[@JacobNNorton1982]

Year of the Rabbit!!!! My God yes!!!

[@PeeArrow]

What up, Ken? This film is absolutely perfect. Keep it comin!!

[@Yisus03i]

excellent material in "wild type droid" and YOTR, You are amazing

[@gamby16a]

I'm SO stoked that yhe documentary is still alive!!! I was so hyped about the trailer and then the trail went cold. Can't wait to see it.

[@ericsanger4408]

Ken, this is a great channel. I hope you get back to sharing your engineering and mixing techniques. Ive learned alot.

[@adamcontreras9710]

Just watched your videos last night!!!

[@tonymason6686]

YOTR is one of my top 5 albums of all time.

[@manowire2112]

Thanks for the High Quality audio, vinyl, surround, etc.......... REALLY appreciated!!!!

[@EtcEtcAndEtc]

Rabbit hole, strange eyes, what's coming - frighteningly good tunes! The bass work in particular, the way you work power chords into the bass parts, such a signature sound, no one else pulls it off like that. Heavier than the heaviest metallers. Thank you

[@xbreakfastcorex]

Hair lookin good, smile on the face, can't wait for what happens next. Best to you and yours, super chief.

[@ebbeeriksson2243]

I am over the moon about the YOTR vinyl!

[@seekerofpowerfulideas2727]

You guys were awesome in Dallas! I screamed so loud for Salt Wound 😆

[@losshack]

Any upload is a gift! Thank you and looking forward to the film!

[@LeonTodd]

I went back and watched all your YT videos and was wondering if we'd get some more soon, so I couldn't click on this fast enough. Really looking forward to the doco.

[@Ofecks]

5:27 any plans for official releases of these early demos? I've had a number of them in my digital library for a long, long time (downloaded from an old fansite that no longer exists AFAIK), but they're low-bitrate MP3s so they don't sound very good. Presumably the ones on YT came from the same files. The fretless bass really makes those compositions shine. Thank you for the update!

[@GrindhouseFunhouse]

OMFG. Year of the Rabbit 🐇 on vinyl. That news just made my week nay month! Thanks Ken. So awesome.

[@PeeWeeHermit]

I cannot fucking wait to hear that Year of the Rabbit remaster. Those issues with it being bright and loud we’re my only gripe, but Hunted has got to be one of the best songs you’ve ever written. I cannot wait.

[@mintower]

I love Failure and i really looking forward to documentary!

[@OrangeRay3]

CAN'T WAIT!!! FOREVER FAILURE!!

[@MOVIEMADNESSENTERTAINMENT]

Just got my Blu Ray in the mail. Can't wait to see you again. And would love to interview you sometime. Great update Ken!!!

[@digger663]

Holy crap! New Failure! I just was listening to year of the rabbit such a gem of a album..last defense and say goodbye are dear to me

[@theniteowl7777]

thank you at least for "Wild Type Droid" and the following tour, which i saw the first show (i beleive) in San Diego at the Music Box. been a lifelong fan since 95. the reunion albums are like you guys never broke up. even saw Autolux and Year of the Rabbit (Casbah, and 4th and B respectively). was so thankful to see Failure live, at least once in my life. even saw you at an On show, think it was Canes. anyway, thank you for keeping it going Ken. p.s.: oh yeah, i did catch a YOTR show at the Casbah, just remembered haha

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Your heart on the sleeve passion for music, sonically and creatively, drives me on. Thanks Ken.

[@BloodlessWolf]

I saw We Are Hallucinations when it was available for stream and loved every second. I felt it really captured the energy of being there really well. I'll definitely need to get both the bluray and that Year of the Rabbit remaster.

[@Aiur]

lookin phenomenal ken, been a fan since magnified, can't wait to get my copy of WAH

[@upstartfilmworks]

Hell yeah to all of this! Still spin the hell out of that YOTR record, can't wait to hear the new versions! And can't wait to see that doc!

[@pureblackeagle]

I loved Year of the Rabbit, I sat up in my seat when you mentioned it. I would totally buy it if I was into vinyl. Also the YOTR cover of I Wanna Be Adored is incredible.

[@MikeKaess]

I was so bummed I had to miss you San Diego show, but I loved watching We Are Hallucinations so much! Definitely ordering the Blu-ray!

[@TheDrKyuss]

So , so , so many tasty tunes

[@kidpresentable]

The sound of those demos in the background have me very excited

[@usagi2988]

Saw you on tour last year and I'm so happy about the live material releases!!!

[@jacoblambert4052]

Babe wake up new Ken Andrew video! Return of the king

[@alfredolecuona7284]

Thanks Ken!!!

[@KingOfHart34]

So sad I missed your last tour, hopefully next time you go I'll get to see you guys again, always a great to see you guys. Luckily, I could snag that disk to hold me over. Also, Rabbit defined my days in high school, cannot wait for that vinyl.

[@thedankriffs]

Wild Type droid is incredible. The guitar tones just sound so 'liquid' with that doubling effect. Love it!!!

[@LucasOliveira-rj2jf]

Missed you, Ken! Greetings from Brazil! Me and the wife always watch your videos as soon as they come up! A YOTR repress on vinyl is a dream come true, can't wait to finally have this masterpiece on wax!

[@GothRocker7]

Wow Ken, great to hear from you. I Love Failure, please keep making music, I love the classic old albums, but I love the new albums. I placed my order for this Blu Ray, I actually ordered two, one for me, one for my brother, they arrived, I have watched/ listened to it daily. the 5.1 mix is amazing!!!!! I remember back in December 2022 watching the show online, ordered it through veeps and really enjoying the livestream. Many of us during the stream in chat, said please Failure put this out as an official release. Thank you Ken, Greg, and Kellii for playing an amazing set last year on the tour, and you guys sounded perfect. Your really amazing. Thank you for officially releasing this, you should be proud of it and it will stand the test of time. Your music is smart, honest, timeless, and it sounds amazing. Any chance you will also release We Are Hallucinations on CD? I will be buying the vinyl, but the 80's born kid that I am still loves CD. Year Of The Rabbit, I still listen to that album a lot in my rotation, the vinyl release sounds interesting, I thought the CD version had a great sound to it. Hope to see Failure on tour again soon!!!!!!

[@jcapentertainmentjimirusse5238]

Ken you guys are a big inspiration to me and I connected so much to the music and lyrics. You’re great. I’m so stoked I found your channel. I’m Jimi, I play guitar and write songs. I have over 200 songs easy. Haaaa seriously bro, if you’re still reading this, Fantastic Planet helped get my ex off drugs. I made her listen to it and it changed her life as it did mine. Thanks for what you do. Peace! HMU Haa late

[@lazynorse5607]

I think I still have sunspots from the shear white backlight during your YOTR tour (Seattle show). Loved every minute!

[@billyhughes9776]

Love the YotR record -- looking forward to hearing the remaster!

[@MrBlackskye]

Excited about the doc....Year of the Rabbit is suuuch a brilliant work !!

[@htkaraosman]

Oh I was hoping to see an episode for a while! Such amazing news!!!!

[@TippiGordon]

I should have been the target audience for Failure in the 90s, but somehow they eluded my attention. Happy to have discovered them recently--better late than never, right?--and can't wait to get to a show.

[@tb.7788]

Man I’m so excited to hear year of the rabbit remastered, it’s one of my favorite albums. And I can’t wait to see the documentary. If it’s possible ever, remastering the Golden album on vinyl would be amazing, or even just copy pasting it on vinyl. I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Mange is my favorite song of yours and if that album was on vinyl or released as an actual cd I’d be all over it.

[@damianwolfmusic]

What an incredible show that was in Baltimore last year in June. Best concert I’ve ever been to. Glad to see you’re back on KZbin Ken! PS: So fucking cool you’re planning to re-release some Year of The Rabbit stuff, in my opinion it’s some of your most underrated work.

[@samborn7120]

OMG! I’m so excited Ken!! Can’t wait to buy the new BlueRay and see the Documentary! Totally stoked 🎊

[@DimDeadBoyMusic]

I was psyched to see a new video on your channel. I've missed these. I was fortunate enough to see you guys play in Cambridge, MA last summer and it was an incredible show supporting an amazing album. It was great to finally see you guys play live after not getting a chance in the 90s and the shows we had tickets to in NY getting cancelled due to covid.

[@mikereseigh]

Love the new album and met you guys in Pontiac Michigan. I was interviewed for the documentary. Glad to.hear about yotr. Love that stuff.

[@Absentstars]

The Pontiac show was 🤯

[@kbuchan78]

Yes! Thank you so much Ken!!!!!

[@pagnol3226]

Saw you guys for the first time last summer in DT LA and wow! 😍😎, I was wondering about your channel! keep them vids coming we are here!

[@mjadams002]

Year of the Rabbit vinyl! If you gave me 100 guesses what you were working on I would not have pick YotR, a live Failure album, and a Documentary.

[@socialdiseaze]

I’m so excited I can alr feel my brain melting out my nose

[@XavierABird]

this is Fantastic news all around!

[@nicolas.grisanti]

Wild Type Droid is amazing, my favorite Failure album with Fantastic Planet! LOVE this band!

[@andrewtrushinski3848]

Hi Ken. Somehow I found your channel a while back. I was a fan of your band "On." Back in 2000 I heard Soluble Words on 91x and thought it was a really cool track. Me and my sister were such music fanatics back then that when we heard a cool new song on the radio one of us would buy the album. So we went to down to Tower Records and each bought a copy of Shifting Skin. We also saw you live at Canes in San Diego, it was a great show, I think she even met you off stage. It was Sat. June 10 2000, still have the ticket stub. I haven't heard your other bands but definitely want to check them out. Take care man!

[@liamphillips2339]

Man the sub of the 5.1 really makes it feel like a concert venue. I could feel it in my chest. Thanks for the blu-ray and the great mix!

[@evand2185]

Those interviews were cool to see before you guys came on stage last year at the grog shop, awesome!

[@thechrisricci]

I love seeing photos of the making of Fantastic Planet. It kind of gives another dimension to the music

[@jiznak2000]

So good to finally see you!

[@argueyourpoint1825]

Failure=Success, pumped about all the new stuff! Mind blown for YOTR vinyl too!!!!! Ken Andrews What's Coming vinyl next?!?

[@LateralNoise]

Great to see the KZbin channel getting some love! Appreciate the updates and ALL you do, Ken (which is a lot). Can't wait to see and hear all the awesome-ness!

[@sc8tty]

Welcome back! Really looking forward to the documentary. I have not heard YOTR so now I have something new to check out this week 😎

[@KenAndrewsMusic]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@eacasta]

Let's goooo!!! Excited about the somewhat of a roadmap. Thank you for still putting stuff out for the fans.

[@BataraKado]

even though its been a year, i still listen to failure, and i still watch the complex mixing videos you do... thank you so much for all the art you create!! such a great musician...

[@nixvex]

Hot damn! Time well spent! Looking forward to all of it! Been listening to SOTLS a lot lately, wishing I had all the live ON & YOTR stuff you did with First Wave Hello. Saw y’all at the Parish Room in Austin, it’s in my top five of best live shows I’ve attended! Much love! Y’all fuckin rock!

[@CreativeSpiral]

Yes! Glad you posted this, Ken... wasn't aware of the "We are Hallucinations" Blu-ray Concert DVD... hell yeah. Instant ordered!

[@down1tone]

Just discovered your channel like a week ago, and have been going through the episodes in chronological order… until now. 🎉

[@vonapathy]

!!The man lives!! So excited about the YOTR news (and the blu-ray, and the movie!) Btw, nice haircut! 😎

[@BSutes]

I'm in for anything and everything you are pressing. Already ordered the blu ray... Please, please come to Boston again! Best of luck with all your pursuits. Failure is better than ever.

[@probotdrummer]

"Its been so long without you" :)

[@johngidlund]

Love the new Failure album and can’t wait to watch the concert and hear it on vinyl 🤘

[@cratesclouds]

Heard & a fan of everything you’ve ever made. YOTR is my favorite thing you’ve done. That last Failure was a real slam dunk too. Psyched to hear anything you make.

[@HooliganClassRapidOffenseUnit]

AMAZING. Great to see you here again. I am still hoping you do a production video on the bass tone in Hunted one day...every time I hear that, I'm like, HOW HOW HOW did he get that tone! Can't wait for the documentary.

[@KnaggsGuitars]

Thanks for having our Kenai J TV Yellow in there. Can't wait to see you playing her. Cheers ~

[@d1sp0s1t10n]

Awesome news!!!

[@nastyporch3275]

"Packs a punch" is a great way to describe Wild Type Droid. That album doesn't have a weak track.

[@Louis-wp3fq]

It's their strongest "new" album. And THAT'S saying something.

[@anotherspaceboy]

@@Louis-wp3fq I think people slept on In The Future because of the kerfuffle with Pledgemusic and the pandemic, that one's my personal recent favorite.

[@nedim_guitar]

Great news!

[@zoetr0pe_]

Good to see you Ken thanks for the updates 👍

[@WillowRedDog]

Finally, Year Of The Rabbit on vinyl!

[@billy2896]

it makes my day when ken andrews uploads something cx

[@BLACKSYNTH]

Year of the rabbit was always a great sounding album, very dynamic.

[@philippgrunert8776]

Woohoo. I'll get that album now. Kind of passed by me totally for whatever reason. Really looking forward for more content on this channel

[@MichaelBadenPhoenixRealtor]

Hey now...Year of the Rabbit vinyl in hand and currently on the turntable...TMR pressing is nice heavy weight vinyl and sounds excellent. Mastering IS golden, good & punchy, crisp where it needs to be and the bass hits...full delivery...this one tgoes to 11

[@gytrplr]

Failure live vinyl ❤❤❤❤ year of the rabbit vinyl ❤❤❤ ❤ all this now please yes yes yes

[@hopeoli542]

You're back!! Yes!!!!!!

[@hopeoli542]

Love Failure and Year of the Rabbit!

[@implayingsomebass4753]

Holy shit super stoked on all of it especially YotR! Seriously one of my favorite albums ever

[@chrissybot0.148]

The concert film is stellar! Sounds so good. Big thanks all who were involved and made it happen :-)

[@brad_genx_sk8er]

Hey Ken, love the channel. I know you're a busy dude but I hope you do more videos in the future. Thanks.

[@jadew.6786]

Thank you for recoding a new video. 🤗🤗 such an honor to have you back on KZbin

[@sachamorgese7280]

Amazing news, I'm looking forward to all of that!

[@enjoythesilence6883]

“Long Division” is one of the best songs ever written and recorded and that is factual information.

[@gardenbabe09]

I need more Failure, you guys are my favorite band . I missed your videos. Abrazos desde México❤

[@gardenbabe09]

Oh and by the way, That Year of the rabbit record is one of my all time favorites, along with Fantastic Planet and Magnified.

[@mariannagamez5002]

Love from Baja California, Mexico

[@raygonzalez9629]

YES!!! It totally worth the wait, can't wait to hear YOTR remastered, such good news.

[@juanfabian4579]

Wow, YotR update! this was unexpected, thanks!. While I like YotR a lot, I remember Jeff Gaber's ephemeral band called The Joy Circuit. They reminded me of Failure, they were also great. I always loved you two guys. Don't know where is he now, apparently making music for films. I'd love to see him again, though it will be easier to see Failure during the next tour. Love!

[@blackjackhooligan]

Glad to see you back!!! Just finished WAH! So glad to own it on Blu-ray!
