Here Today... Gone To Hell!

http://www.myspace.com/armyofanyone

kick ass song!

check it out  : ok:

I already posted it in the "Stone Temple Pilots" thread; http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=33619.0
But hey, this doesn't hurt. I like the song. especially after few listens. Can't wait for the album...

It's funny how the DeLeos got guys who look exactly like Scott Weiland and Eric Kretz? :hihi:
It's gonna be an awesome end of the year and 1(?) quarter of 2007. I mean, Chinese Democracy, Libertad, Army of Anyone and new Nine Inch Nails album (yeah, I wish...)

Jeez I never noticed that, pretty uncanny!


Song is quite good. Sounds like DeLeo trademark music.

I can't listen here at work, so how would you describe this song? A heavy STP style rocker?

It's def trademark Deleo.  Aggressive, punchy verse, that drops into a spacey, atmospheric chorus.  Overall, I'd catergorize it as mid-tempo.  The drumming is superb.  Luzier is going to get recognized for his work on this album for sure.  My only complaint is I think Richard Patrick could have written a better hook in the bridge, but I still really like it, and it is def a grower-type song.

great song, Patrick is ok but no Weiland, i could never get into Filter. This song is awesome tho and i will definitely pick up the record.

love the chorus

Luzier man, feckin' great drummer!

great stuff Luzier is awesome! catchy song. Man the Deleos are frickin genius songwriters

this song has got me pretty pysched, any news for a release date yet?

Yeah, this got me very excited too. This may just be the "surprise" of 2007. DeLeos can sure write some catchy songs.

should be in stores by october, november at the latest... there's no official date yet though.

also,  their official site is now updated with another new song, "Used To Know Her"... it's a pretty cool instrumental piece.

www.armyofanyone.com

Listen to "Take a Picture."

Wow, I'meally likin' this second track ("I used to Know her") on their website.? : ok:? Hopefully Richard Patrick comes up with some killer lyrics to match.

"I used to know her, but I had to kill her..."

it says on their site the album will be released on November 14th. not sure about the title yet i guess. i'm pretty stoked!!!

Oh yeah I heard this on the radio.. A few nights ago, Monday night I think. Sounds awesome, the DJ's likedd it as well  (not that that really matters). I think we might start hearing this one quite a bit.

i was just listening to Shangri-La Dee Da today and man do the DeLoes rock in that!! never was a big fan of Richard Patrick so we shall see. Shouldn't we be seeing a music video for "Goodbye" soon? o yeah and the album is self-titled as far as i know.

music video for "goodbye": http://music.yahoo.com/ar-36096653-videos--Army-Of-Anyone

its pretty cool. i really like this song, Richard Patrick has a great vocal range and the music is pure DeLeo awesomeness.

Agreed, it is a great song.  A real grower too.  And for those interested...AoA performing "Take a Picture" at a morning radio show a couple of weeks back: http://www.q101.com/waterJoe/armyOfAnyone.aspx

wow thanx. Richard Patrick is cool im just not a big fan of his lyrics but he writes fantastic melodies and has good vocal range. maybe this album will change my mind about his lyrcs.

Loved it when I first heard it...  I didn't know who it was at the time and I remember remarking, "Man, these guys sound a little like STP..."  I only wonder if the rest of the album will be as good!

awesome song : ok:  cant wait to hear more!

TWO NEW SONGS ON THEIR MYSPACE!!!!!

http://www.myspace.com/armyofanyone


i am so pumped for this record.

They're playing WMMR's studio's this afternoon, here in Philly. I beleive around 3:30pm EST. Supposedly playing a couple songs (Myb 1 STP, 1 Filter, 1 AoA).

You can listen online at www.wmmr.com

man those new songs are excellent... nov 14 can't come fast enough.

after hearing just these 3 tracks, i feel confident saying that AoA is better than Audioslave and Velvet Revolver... the real "supergroup" we've all been waiting for.

this cd and Chi Dem are shaping up to become the 2 essential rock albums of 2006.

so the new record comes out in almost a week :o

i am so pumped, hopefully it will leak soon (i'll still buy it when it comes out) i really can't wait.

from the songs i've heard their sound is impressive and original. Richard Patrick has surprised me with a soaring vocal range and cool melodies.

its streaming on VH1.com!!!

http://www.vh1.com/sitewide/apps/mediaplayer/index.jhtml?track=all&type=listeningparty&paid=2453102&albumid=1355937&xmlFile=/artists/azdroplets/listening_party/army_of_anyone/army_of_anyone/album.xml&gateway=artists&channelID=3&section_4=album.jhtml&refURL=/artists/az/army_of_anyone/1355937/album.jhtml&adPN=album&section_3=1355937&videotitle=Stop+Look+and+Listen&section_0=artists&section_1=az&adPth=/asm/adsetup/artists/&orgID=1&section_2=army_of_anyone&format=

So I just found out this band existed when the record got reviewed in the new Rolling Stone...from the myspace songs, I'm more than impressed.  I'm definintely looking forward to the album...

i've listened to it all its excellant.

richard patrick has really impressed me, he has great vocal range and his melodies are pretty cool.

the albums kinda short but theres barely any filler so its all good.

its seems strange at first cuz the DeLeos were so awesome with Scott, and i'm so used to hearing Scott singing over their music, but Richard seems like a nice fit.? His melodies and vocals in general seem to be up to par with Scott. i know i stated earlier that he was good but no Scott Weiland but he has changed my mind.

 i just hope there is a STP reunion at some point tho. that band was really special.

wow just heard the whole record, and it is amazing : ok:

Unfortunately there's no word on when it will be released here in Australia, so I may have to buy an import from amazon or something. I really like that song Goodbye so I'm definitely interested in the rest of the album.

doesn't work for me  ::)

i guess the VH1 stream is for US only... how about putting it up on MySpace or AOL so the rest of us can hear it too...


i ordered mine from Amazon UK, but they won't even ship until the 20th... fuck  :no:

Army of Anyone are gonna perform on Jay Leno tommorow night, friday november 10th. check it out.

i've been listening to the stream alot, i love "Father Figure".  cant wait to get the album, the stream has pretty shitty sound quality.

Yeah, Father Figure kicks ass.  I am in love with "This Wasn't Supposed to Happen."  What a hauntingly beautiful song...especially Dean's guitar playing at the end of the song.  He never gets the credit he deserves, and he may not be the flashiest guitarist ever, but fuck me if he isn't an incredible mood setter.

 
Yeah that song is great, one of the best on the album.

the story about how these formed is pretty interesting. supposedly Richard Patrick was working on the new Filter album and just happened to work on a song with the DeLeo brothers and they were so impressed with how it turned out and how great their chemistry was that they decided to work together on new stuff, the song was "A Better Place". i think thats really cool and i'm happy the DeLeos finally got someone to work with, i mean STP broke up a while ago.

the album comes out today!!!

also i HAVE the video of the Jay Leno performance, it was taken off youtube for some reason. anyone who wants it PM me!!? : ok:

thanks for the link. sounds great. pretty melodic but nice to see the DeLeo brothers continuing with the great music. I don't know about anyone else, but is anybody else picking up a bit of a Chris Cornell influence from Richard Patrick? I don't know why, his singing is reminding me of Chris Cornell a bit. Anyway, yeah a great song. Looking forward to hearing more. I'll definitely pick up this album

Great album.  It grows on me more and more with each listen.  Solid all the way through.

The Army of Anyone mission: Reestablish rock's cred
Rock veterans regroup as Army of Anyone. Let the riffs begin.

Los Angeles Times

March 1, 2007

Army of Anyone lead singer Richard Patrick doesn't understand what happened while he was away. "What have these kids done with our beloved rock music? We've come back to these pouty, whiny, crabby little power-punk-pop bands."

He believes he and his bandmates are here to help right rock back on its axis. Patrick, formerly of Nine Inch Nails and Filter, Stone Temple Pilots bassist Robert DeLeo and guitarist Dean DeLeo, and session drummer Ray Luzier pack a musical wallop on a debut album filled with muscular guitar riffs, propulsive drumming and Patrick's searing vocals. In other words, sissies need not apply.

The band's four Southern California shows, including tonight's stop at the Key Club, mark the first time Patrick has performed in Los Angeles since 1999. "It's literally been a long time since I rock and rolled," he laughs, adding that his hiatus included a stint in rehab. The shows combine Army of Anyone, Filter and STP material.

Although the quartet has been labeled an alt-rock super group because of its members' pedigrees, Dean DeLeo isn't buying. "We are basically at the educating stage. I'll be walking through town where I'm playing that evening and someone will say, 'Hey man, is STP getting back together?' and you're like, 'I have a new band.' " Awareness is growing, however: The group's first single, "Goodbye," reached No. 3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.

Still, starting over can be rough, especially when it follows a path you first trod years ago and didn't necessarily plan on traveling again.

"This would probably be a lot easier if I was 20 years younger," says DeLeo, 45. "We don't travel anywhere near the level that STP used to travel. We were able to have our families on the road with us most of time. [Now], we're traveling with nine guys on a bus. You're getting hotel rooms only on days off. I feel very grateful that we have a bus; if we had to travel in a van, I couldn't do it."

Patrick and the DeLeos first played together in 2001, but much had changed by the time they reconnected in 2004 to write songs for what was supposed to be Filter's fourth CD. At that point Stone Temple Pilots had broken up and it had been two years since Filter's last release. Although Patrick never announced the band's dissolution, its future was cloudy. "I decided if I was going to be in Filter, if those guys weren't getting their [acts] together, I was going to be hiring all new people anyway."

It turns out that revisiting Filter became entirely unnecessary as the chemistry between Patrick and the DeLeos proved so strong they decided to keep the songs to themselves and form their own band.

Also important to the DeLeos was Patrick's sobriety, given the years they spent watching former STP lead singer Scott Weiland going in and out of rehab. (Weiland, now clean, fronts Velvet Revolver.)

"They've had their dealings with drug addicts and people who can't maintain a rigorous and honest program of recovery and I don't blame them," Patrick says of the DeLeos. "I was a nightmare."

The project was originally recorded for Columbia Records, says Dean DeLeo, but the band soon found itself subject to the ever-shifting sands at today's big record companies. "So here we sit with our record done, mixed, a month prior [we're] getting waltzed around the label ... and the next thing we know, everyone who believes in the group is gone," DeLeo says.

After months of wrangling, DeLeo says the band bought the album back from Columbia. The group became one of the first acts signed to the in-house record label started by its management company, the Firm. Unlike a traditional record deal in which the label owns the music and pays the artist a royalty per album after many expenses are recouped, the Firm's label splits profits 50/50 with artists.

While the new business model has benefits, it also removes the protective layer of insulation that traditional management provides between the desires and egos of the artists and the business realities of the labels.

"You know, there comes a time when you're kind of like, 'All right managers, go yell at the label,' and the manager just kind of looks right back at you like, 'No, I'm the record company too,' " says Patrick. "We all have to adjust to this bizarre new world we're in."

Army of Anyone was amazing last night at the Key club

Cool... just found out about these guys.

PAtrick is okay, I hate when I miss the parade, but the music is still here. I've heard that this album is awesome.

Any great songs? What is so good about it. Let me know please.

PEace

the whole album is great, i always listen to the whole thing when i play it

Cool. Patrick's voice is a little strange for me to grasp... not a bad strange though. just not used to it..

Sounds kinda like the guy from Tonic...

I love "Dissappear"

i offically like this band, I hope they would do something more with it.

1 album is good enough I guess and as far as I know and have been hearing STP is coming back sometime soon.

During Bret Favre's clip on mike and mike in the morning about his retirement they were playing "Goodbye" by A0A
