Outtahere

Half an hour interview with "The Scene Magazine"

We can see them rehearsing. Interesting! :)

It's not the single, it's just a freebie like Guns of Carolina.

I wonder why there's around 4-5 minutes of silence after the video. Also, where did he get all these images for the lyrics videos?

Ha ha ha!!

Oh just let go already! ;)

Some surprises coming and already there! http://matthewgood.org/ * caugh * Hey Hell Heaven * caugh * Guns of Carolina * caugh *

New website is up. Looks great! I'd put a "mute" for the music though.

There's something about the beginning of Arrows of Desire (the song) that reminds me of The Who's "Baba O'Riley" but with guitars.

So I gather we nailed the lyrics to Garden of Knives? ;-) Yes Guns of Carolina was played acoustically on CFOX http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocznfDQnAKo. The second single from is Arrows of Desire.

This is what I get from Arrows of Desire. Similar to yours with some minor changes: On a ruined wind the sea I promised right in front of you Silver bombs to crash the heart those gates so irremovable Oh we can beg we will bend again Oh we can beg but we will bend again Oh in thin air, we lie in wait Oh in thin air, we lie in wait Oh we lie in wait Hell to lose weight for the work to come and then to hell with you Over the fire, a time the bear will throw us below way Here's my golden spear Here's my cold dispair Oh in thin air, we lie in wait Oh in thin air, we lie in wait Oh we lie in wait

Garden of Knives is definitely one of his best tracks ever for me. Here are the lyrics I hear: My love screams, yeah I like the second half All in between honeycomb legs I'll break your back The more that you want it the more that you take it The more that you want it the more that you break it No matter where we are I'll let you know No matter where the sun strikes us Knives will grow Hear them horses come to mow the road Feel the air burning like your lungs could just explode The more that you want it the more that you take it The more that you want it the more that you break it No matter where we are I'll let you know No matter where the sun strikes us Knives will grow

Come onnnnn!! ;)

http://indie.streamon.fm/listenlater-pl-30 You can listen to the song "Arrows of Desire" (at the complete end) and "Garden of Knives" (around 42 minutes in and KICK-ASS SONG!)

D'you reckon he just put this together for fun, because people were complaining his video was not a "real video"? Or maybe it's fan made? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVrmI6O3LyE

I do envy that capacity. I am a little childish :P I have to say that Garden of Knives sounds absolutely awesome!

You shouldn't resist! Let yourself go! Seriously though I'm listening to them often. Can't wait for the record!

I remember back in 2003 that the demo to Pledge of Alliegance, Weapon, In a World Called Catastrophe and I believe Double Life and Song for The Girl leaked. Wonder if any one still has any of those. They were obviously very lo-fi, the drumming was done with a drum machine or a keyboard and they were recorded by both Matt and Rich. There's of course the obvious Comfortable Criminals that was streamed through the secret website houseofsmokeandmirrors.com at the time. The song was scrapped from the record but the drums were sampled and used for what would later become It's a Long Way Down. I'd also like to hear Villain of the Year from which the lyrics were scrapped and it became Near Fantastica. As for info (because there's always some additionnal informaiton thrown into these type of releases) there's Near Fantastica (Radio Edit) that was supposed to be the record version but then Matt played around with it, mixed in the acoustic guitar from the demo and made a remix which became the album version. Same with Lullaby For The New World Order. The original version was what is now called the "acoustic version" with only a guitar and strings and Matt had to go back with Rich and Pat to add drums and bass after Universal complained about it (I believe they wanted more singles on the record and they wanted to use that song). There was a video planned (not sure if it was shot though) for Near Fantastica but scrapped after Universal pretty much dropped that record months after its release and no other marketing was made. Matt wrote the song Avalanche while him and Rich wanted to write a very lenghty song. I think they were trying to measure up to a song they enjoyed but I can't remember which one. The sample in Avalanche is from a movie called "There's Only One Jimmy Grimble" and funnily enough, in the movie, the "Get out!" bit come right BEFORE Jimmy Gimble says the "Every pass it goes adrift, every ball loose, can't tackle can't shoot" bit and not after like it is in the song. The record was rumoured to be called House of Smoke and Mirrors after matthewgoodband.com used that title for one of its sections. Pat recorded the drums by listening to the demos in his earphones. That's all the info I remember from the top of my head. If there's more I'll let you guys know ;)

Shame that he had to tune the song down live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLFvwkUc6Jg

lol! Yeah I laughed at that too! :P

Saaaampleeeesss! http://www.amazon.com/Arrows-of-Desire/dp/B00E9CJ0ZQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376409598&sr=8-2&keywords=matthew+good+arrows+of+desire

My main problem is when he plays with two fingers fast... I don't know if I'm clear :P

I'd like to learn how to play some of MG's solo. I can pull some off such as Non-Populus (which I love playing). Others I cannot figure out. Near Fantastica live for instance or Avalanche. Anyone can give me a hand?

Some of those songs are bad but others are not only enjoyable but with proper production would be releasable on record!
