ABI Alpine 07 (Piedmont Bonus)

[kyleone]

Around 8:21. I think that DMB should try to write a song around Roi's riff here. Does anyone else love this riff? I think its pretty cool.

[MistreatedLewis]

I love posts like these. Shows people are paying attention to detail. I'll fortify my stomach and take a listen to this ABI at some point

[crashintome202]

i expected roi to start ripping it up after he played it a few times :(
its very nice though, love to see it again

[Mateo2k]

there's already a song based around that.

[kyleone]

there's already a song based around that.

what is it?

[kyleone]

yeah, if no song evolves out of it, it'd be nice to hear it on a song during the upcoming tour. if not abi, something else.

[TobiasClown]

i would love to hear this could someone possibly post it?! thanks

[dreamingtree_34]

yeah i'd love to see a song come out of it. its a way to make sure roi's involved. hes gotta be given room to tear shit up on this album and on tour. he has taken such a backseat to rawshawn and stuck to just playing little riffs like this at the end of jams like this, dreaming tree and wwys. the band simply doesn't sound as good with such a sparing amount of roi. also the pennywhistle is a necessity in the studio as is the flute. man im dreaming of a jam like studio 41, dreamingtree, and crush

[TobiasClown]

i would love to hear this could someone possibly post it?! thanks


nevermind i just found it on liog.org

[dreamstree41]

It's a badass riff.

[SmoothRider[PL]]

It's a badass performance of this song.

[dmbfan4ever]

Not to be a downer, but isn't this what Batson did? Heard little parts that he liked and then wrote entire songs around it.... I think the Roi riff is badass, but it's a slippery slope to start writing songs around horn parts...maybe i'm wrong

i guess what i was getting at was that dmb should write a song and try to interpolate this riff into it. try to write a song that this riff would fit well with.

i dont know if thats right or not. the difference is this part sounds good whereas most of stand up didnt.

[RobRoy286]

this version, like any other, is terrible.

[jordanbball17]

I'd rather have them forumulate a song around the Some Devil Radio City Intro...but that might just be me

[TobiasClown]

I'd rather have them forumulate a song around the Some Devil Radio City Intro...but that might just be me

i like them both, but yea the Some Devil Intro is pretty great and would be really interesting to hear with some added parts by the band.

I hate ABI, but this is a cool little riff. But that's just it, it's just a little riff.

It's a neat little riff, but it wouldn't work as the center of a song.

ABI is what I would write if I were trying to make fun of DMB, not if I actually WERE DMB.

[DerekJTR2]

I think it's one of those best experiences to listen to live. From Boyd's part, to Dave screaming, it's great all around. The simplicity makes it. It's not like they recorded an 8 minute version. Come on.

Boyd's part is terrible. Can one cliche be more annoying to listen to?

[number4ty1]

The best ABI is the studio one.

I really think that studio ABI is the best thing in Stand Up.

Live ABI's are to be taken in moderation.

[jason41]

i expected roi to start ripping it up after he played it a few times :(
its very nice though, love to see it again

:thumbsup Me too

He really nails it on 9.12.05...that's the only ABI I ever listen to.

[DerekJTR2]

His part is great when it's in tune...which is..well..sometimes. haha

Cliche?? typo?

right on!

I really can't stand it even when it is in tune.

I believe this is the same riff that Roi and Rashawn jammed the shit out of in Charlotte on 9/19/07. If that's true, it's pretty cool. Not sure you can make a song around it, but it was a lot of fun to dance to at the show.

I'm not the biggest ABI fan but I don't think that the simplicity of a song musically is a reason it sucks. Free Falling is pretty much three chords and thats a great song. The difference is that song actually has lyrics. If you want to rip on ABI, I would go after the constantly repeated line and unnecessary screaming that takes place. Although musically it is simple, it has a great build and crecendo with Carter going nuts and Boyd doing some decent stuff. I think it would be better without the vocals although it is pretty intense in person.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It's a bit catchy, but live it's just a solo showcase. I don't mind it. If I hear it every show for the next 3 years, I'll probably feel differently, but for now, it's cool. Especially when you get one where the guys do some fun stuff with it like they did in Charlotte this year.

Have you ever heard this Alpine version of ABI?
It's not just Dave screaming, just listen to Carter_the_Master!!!

Sounds as if you worry too much what other people think. Let it go, there's ohter things out there that deserve your pain... :D

that is a good rif and he could rip shit up afterwards
