Honest Man, First single?? Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

Chad's Facebook says a station in Spokane, WA has added Honest Man!!

" KHTQ in SPOKANE adds The Gracious Few's "HONEST MAN" We haven't even shipped the single - excellent news! Major props to KHTQ."

Wonder when we get to hear it????

Apparently it is premiering here too, though they have the artist and song name switched:

You know it. He's really annoying me with his pro Ed stance.

He's not a true Live fan in my book.

here's another link to the station:

Just because I don't like The Gracious Few's sound, which sounds nothing like Live at all, I'm not a Live fan. Makes perfect sense.

That is because you only associate the Live sound with Ed's voice. The Gracey drumming, the Taylor guitar tones and style, and the Pat bass lines; they are all there.

Hell "Honest Man" started as a fucking Live song!! To say that it sounds nothing like Live is possibly one of the dumbest things I've heard on this board (stiff competition from gotigrz).

I will agree that it sounds nothing like what Live did on SFBM, and THANK GOD!!!

If you think this song sounds anything like Live from any era, you are out of your mind.

I fell in love with Live because of the spiritual and uplifting messages the songs contained. I couldn't even decipher the majority of the lyrics in "Honest Man." It is a lead single without a hook, just screeching lyrics.

Dude unlike Ed in a lot of cases he seems to know the limits of his voice and have control. I don't think you're gonna hear any voices cracking at gigs like you do with Ed when he trys to sing something like The Distance. It kinda sounds like Live from the early 2009 era .. cos .. you know, musically it's the exact same song that Believe was going to be. But instead of boring stagnet lyrics that didn't fit with the music we're getting some pure rock.
I don't like screaching vocals as much as the next guy, infact AC/DC is probably my least favorite band of all time. ever. But this is nothing like that, if you can't tell the difference then you've seriously got some issues when it comes to how you hear and interprut music.

Let me guess Nick .. do you like any music with non English lyrics? I'm just curious

Yes I do. But these were english lyrics, and I couldn't get a grasp of them. It was basically just noise to me.

It may be "pure rock" but it doesn't mean that I or anyone else has to like it.

It didn't employ enough overused religious cliches I guess.

And actually, the fault you are looking for in the song is that you don't like the vocal distortion they picked for it. Personally, I think it suits the song but it does make the lyrics more difficult to understand. It is a production trade-off.

As to whether the song has a hook or not, that is subjective, and I'm also quite sure these guys don't give two fucks if it has a hook. Being catchy isn't everything. I found it to be memorable enough.

But then again, I'm out of my mind so don't bother listening to me.
