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

[@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🤘🤘🤙🤙

[@ericsanger4408]

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

[@seekerofpowerfulideas2727]

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

[@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

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

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

[@GrindhouseFunhouse]

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

[@bluericardo]

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

[@manowire2112]

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

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@PeeArrow]

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

[@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.

[@xbreakfastcorex]

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

[@nicolas.grisanti]

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

[@Yisus03i]

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

[@lazynorse5607]

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

[@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.

[@losshack]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@evand2185]

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

[@BLACKSYNTH]

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

[@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!!!!!!

[@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!

[@Aiur]

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

[@JacobNNorton1982]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@down1tone]

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

[@tonymason6686]

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

[@enjoythesilence6883]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@samborn7120]

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

[@chrissybot0.148]

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

[@Blipangel]

Good lord. Ken is transitioning into “silver haired fox” gracefully. Very jealous of that head of hair. And wee YOTR wax!

[@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.

[@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!

[@KnaggsGuitars]

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

[@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!

[@DTrux-v8f]

been listening to Wild Type Droid on repeat in my car for the last several months. I may actually even like it more than Fantastic Planet

[@tristenpritchard5604]

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.

[@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

[@vonapathy]

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

[@totalpartykill999]

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

[@mintower]

I love Failure and i really looking forward to documentary!

[@ebbeeriksson2243]

I am over the moon about the YOTR vinyl!

[@argueyourpoint1825]

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

[@jadew.6786]

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

[@WillowRedDog]

Finally, Year Of The Rabbit on vinyl!

[@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

[@XavierABird]

this is Fantastic news all around!

[@veesimone8409]

Welcome back, King. You still have the best camera setup in the biz. Just out of curiosity, have you been stockpiling any new potential Failure riffs lately?

[@billy2896]

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

[@ShannaIvey-yu7rp]

I just found this, and I am lovin' it!!!

[@mariannagamez5002]

Love from Baja California, Mexico

[@Cloudtalahari]

Welcome back 😊 Yotr is an amazing album.

[@nicholaskent3804]

A YOTR remaster?! Oh my god this is amazing news! This is all great news!

[@blackjackhooligan]

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

[@SakasaZeRo]

I'm so damn glad you guys are working with Third Man Pressing, also will we get Secrets of the Lost Satellite on vinyl? Also will We are Hallucinations be on streaming?

[@johngidlund]

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

[@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

[@hopeoli542]

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

[@hopeoli542]

Love Failure and Year of the Rabbit!

[@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.

[@jacoblambert4052]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@shanos1656]

I love you and all that you do Ken Andrews!

[@troymesserall814]

Happy 20 year anniversary today to Year of the Rabbit! Great way to celebrate it. Can’t wait to get it on vinyl and hear the new remaster. Looking forward to more Failure as well. Could we get a digital download purchase option for We Are Hallucinations?

[@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 🤯

[@TheDrKyuss]

So , so , so many tasty tunes

[@pollutionlake]

Yes, looking forward to all of this, particularly YOTR. When you led into that I completely thought you were going to say ON, but YOTR news is almost as good 😁

[@Absentstars]

What an amazing tour…fortunate to catch 2 shows! 🚀👩‍🚀 YotR remaster?!? 🤯🎉

[@Skailbour]

that macaque demo at the end is magnificent

[@joshjones967]

Hell yeah! So pumped for YOTR! I absolutely love that album. So keen for the doco also!

[@therudeawakening51]

Hey Ken, definitely glad to get an update from you. Also definitely looking forward to the documentary, but just wondering, do you have more KZbin tutorials lined up?

[@gilson32]

Ken!!! YOTR On Vinyl? I never, ever thought that would become a reality! So cool! Any chance we can get the B sides (Burn and I Wanna Be adored) on the reissue?? PLEASE!!!

[@d1sp0s1t10n]

Awesome news!!!

[@socialdiseaze]

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

[@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

[@alfredolecuona7284]

Thanks Ken!!!

[@mattsnow9273]

It's been a FEW minutes... (tapping foot) OK. I'll cut you some slack. THIS TIME. Wait..? YOTR remastered on vinyl??? TAKE ME MONEYYYY! YOUSE IS FORGIVEN! 🤣😁❤❤❤

[@jiznak2000]

Hopefully more We Are Hallucinations Blu-Rays will become available again soon. I missed my opportunity to buy one because I've been flat broke since they came out and they sold out relatively fast.

[@Burythelie]

Real interested in the 5.1 mix. Can't wait for the YOTR remaster, absolutely love that album. Can't wait for the doc as well.

[@firefoxussr31]

hyped about the YotR vinyl LP remaster... wow. It always sounded good as is but that was before I found how often the vinyl masters are a different master/mix which usually puts the dynamics back to how it was recorded!

[@snavs420]

OH MY GOD HE'S BACK Are we also going to get some kind of remaster of the original Comfort demos? That would be so cool.

[@billy2896]

Yeah! I wanna' finally hear "Comfort ll"!

[@snavs420]

​@@billy2896aka Fretless Comfort

[@billy2896]

it makes my day when ken andrews uploads something cx

[@worksupermodel]

Yay! BTW I really love songs from “On” too. Whenever I play that record people are like, “WTF is this?!!!!”

[@gytrplr]

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

[@paulastar]

Year of the Rabbit tour!!

[@JasonClaud]

Please tell us turntable-deficient people that the We Are Hallucinations audio will also be available on Bandcamp or CD.

[@stevemcfat]

YEAR OF THE RABBIT! YES!

[@L-A-C-IV]

Will the Blu-ray concert audio be able to take advantage of the added audio gizmos on a hybrid Blu-ray/DVD-A/SACD player? I recently saved a unit from the dumpster and I've been dying to have something that I can actually fully enjoy it with. If so I'm absolutely thrilled for it to be a release from my favorite band, never would have expected it. Regardless having some pro-shot live Failure is awesome--I sat dead center at 9:30 club (w/ Swervedriver)--far and away the closest I have ever heard a band sound to their studio albums. I know you guys take a lot of pride in that 🙏

[@L-A-C-IV]

Also, I hope that's a subtle teaser for some Comfort demo official releases coming down the pipeline 🤞
