Coheed & Cambria GAIBS:IV is a great example, Rick Rubin is featured in there a few times along with a couple of STILL unreleased jams.
@bveracka7 ай бұрын
@@OfficiallyMaidenless I miss the days of CDs, and back then they were really pushing their sales by including stuff like DVDs because record companies knew everyone was downloading stuff for free. *Coheed & Cambria* though…oh man, what a blast from the past! Here's a cool story for you: In October 2002 Co&Ca were on a small tour of the Northeast US - in a crappy van pulling a tiny trailer full of their equipment - self-promoting their Delirium Trigger EP. They were playing this little church's parish hall in Middleboro, MA to roughly 100 people, and only 40 were really watching. Their set was messy, and Claudio's glasses kept falling off as he bounced his head and got sweatier and sweatier. Still, the music was _excellent_ and they had an unquestionably powerful presence. After the show I bought their EP. They were looking some good cheap pizza, so I walked them to the nearby Central Café. The whole time I was getting tidbits about their DIY tour and Claudio's complex and fantastical themes behind his lyrics. I was blown away by his creativity, which was very inspirational to me at just 16. A couple years later, they were signed and playing huge shows - they were even on MTV. Though I never got to hang with them again, it was _AWESOME_ to meet them under those circumstances.

Holy shit was I wrong, the difference is not subtle, the real thing sounds so much better. Maybe the difference wouldn't be too noticeable in a busy track but even then, I'm not sure; either way it single handedly ruined emulations for me lol
