A day and a half in the life of From Exile



January 2nd, 2006 by Beau

Another big day in the studio. We took two cars to the studio today so that Vince could drive me to to the auto shop to get my car fixed. After the car was safely in the shop we headed to the studio (more on the car later). We started the day off with Eric dropping the sick licks on "Epic" and "Thrash1". Here's a BLOGSCLUSIVE video of Eric shredding.

Eric Shreds!!!1

Vince spent a good portion of the day tracking Eric. He also spent a good portion lying on the ground. Here's some blogsclusive proof:



Vince also added another great blogsclusive video of some typical studio behavior. But before I get to that, back to my car. I got a call from the auto shop saying my car was ready and Vince and I headed out to get it. After picking my car up I was able to make it to the next door parking lot before it died on me. I walked back to the shop and told them what happened and they were shocked saying it had passed all the tests. Apparently they forgot to apply the "drives 10 feet" test because it would have failed miserably. Well it's back in the shop now, stay tuned tomorrow for an update. Oh yeah, here's that BLOGSCLUSIVE video I was talking about:

Ya Gotta Tell Me When You're Taking Video!!!1

I spent most of the day working on lyrics but also found some time to read as well as create a photoshop picture of the band. Here's my rendition of From Exile "The self titled 1991 album":



I'm very proud of it so don't tell me if you could do better or some shit like that.

Later on Ben got goin on some leads and I nearly sharted upon hearing the final product of "Evil 2". Expect great things. We'll be back in the studio pounding out more destructive leads so check back for more blogsclusive news, photos, and video.

beau that pic rocks...i'm sending to chrissy so she can use it somehow on website/whatever.

that vid makes my cello parts look like a damn cakewalk. I gotta learn how to shred on the cello! I'm stuck here up all night rocking the calligraphy pen on these invitations (due at 9 am) and listening to your album anthony!!! i've had it on repeat for the past like 6 hours so i'm beginning to sing along. I also take breaks to jump on my bed to the tune of "Girl with the hazel eyes"--so glad i was introduced to it at the party thing! it's totally coreographed too...i'll show it to you when you guys come home =)
