Here Today... Gone To Hell!

BUMBLEFOOT TO RELEASE TITLE TRACK TO NEW CD ?ABNORMAL? FREE FOR DOWNLOAD
 
Ron Thal aka Bumblefoot is treating his fans new and old to a bit of free music before his new album ?Abnormal? is released to the public for sale, by offering the title track free for download. As with his previous albums Thal will be self-releasing ?Abnormal? online.  ?I never went along with the way the music industry did things, and have always been rebelliously against it, spouting off how the system doesn't work, and how bands should be DIY and make it just about the music and the fans.  10 years ago I was giving away songs on Napster and releasing my own albums, selling them online.  10 years later, I still do it and still stand by it - fuck the business, connect directly with the fans.?  The recording and creative process has also been a very fresh experience, as Thal has been making videos of the recording process and posting them online, running contests to include backing singers to perform on the album, and giving progress reports on his forums to keep everyone there with him while the album was coming together. ?It's been great being able to share the experience as it happens.  It'll be another month before the CD is manufactured - until then, I wanna give away a little taste.  Download it, share it, delete it, it's yours to do as you wish.?

?Abnormal?, the follow-up to Thal?s previous offering ?Normal?, is a hard rock album flavored with a light-hearted mix of different styles and genres, with catchy hooks and blistering guitar work. When asked about the new project, Thal had the following to say: ?It was October last year, I was about to fly into a fucking rage, went to go crash out at the studio, and all these songs just started flying out of my head.  Spent the next few months recording drums, bass, guitars, vocals, opera singers and tuba players.  Some people heard it and said it reminds them of the Sex Pistols with a little Beatles/Queen vibe to it. Didn't have a plan, just did what I felt, and in the end this is what I got.?

With recording completed and finishing touches being added to the tracks and art work, ?Abnormal? will be ready for release In early June, with the free track available for download Monday May 19th, 2008. See www.bumblefoot.com (http://www.bumblefoot.com) for more information.  Along with CD?s being available for purchase, the tracks will be available for download on iTunes, and a very special limited edition Fan Pack will be available for diehard fans that want something a bit different in a limited quantity. The CD will be available at www.cdbaby.com , www.amazon.com as well as Bumblefoot?s own artist-run partner Bald Freak Music. www.baldfreak.com

Come-eedah-yee-haawwww. Bumble, Bumble he's our man if he can't play it, Bucket can! Wooooo!!!  :beer:
Buying this for sure.

Cool stuff, I'm dying to hear it. :D


The all digital version will be only available on iTunes? :(

I like this way for albums like Bumblefoot's but i don't think is a good idea for Chinese Democracy.

IMHO.

I don't saying that Chinese is going to be launched that way but I'm just sayin'...

Can download it now :)

Its AWESOME!

I love BBF songs... virtuoso but at the same time funny (in my opinion)

This time the track sounds better. I must be that he has the money now that he is famous.

The first time I listened to "Abnormal,"  my first thought was: When did Blink 182 get Johnny Rotten on vocals and Buckethead on lead guitar?   ;D

Cool song

Did he get crazier at guitar?


Great song.

And what does this have to do with.....





.....actually, fuck that, I LOVE Ron's solo stuff and this seems to be going in all the right directions for my taste  :smoking: which is everywhere!!!

Nice guitarplaying, I am gotten bored with this music tho.

He's a great guitarplayer :peace:

aptly put.
Cool abnormal song. thanks ron :beer:

I like the song, and the feelign on it  : ok:

great song!
i completely love it!
i hear some gnr influence in the bluesy solo  :P

Awesome song! I officially can't wait for this record to drop.

Its a nice track!

Word! :D

I love how it goes to a Buckethead sound to classic GN'R, Can def hear the influences. Great lyrics, even if he does sound a little pissed off!

Yeah it's a great song! I thought Normal was his best stuff so far, and this sounds great so looks like he's keeping the music moving in the right direction! Good drumming too.

To be honest.. I think this song is pretty good!
Ron have the shreddingskills to buckethead, and the classic rock n roll sound in one song.
Thats pretty cool to mix like in this song!
Will be interesting to listen to the whole album =)

Good combination of funny lyrics with classic rock and shredding combined, it's an entertaining song to listen to

Any news on the release date of the album? Is it iTunes only?

no, its not itunes only. it'll be released in june. dunno when though. :D

Especially the vocals sound like Sex Pistols  :D
So over all... it sounds like Sex Pistols on speed ^^

 :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Great song by a great guy.

Killer sense of humor too by the sounds of it.  :)

Glad To Be Here is such a happy little ditty.

Give BBF a hug for me, sounds like he needs it.  :hihi:

Would love to do that  :hihi:

Think my fave of em is Glad To be Here

Another 2 songs for free I see....he should change the way he does it if he doesn't want to give everything away for free without intending it....on his own site even, no need to go to other sites...  :love:

I think my favorite is also Glad to be here, but i dunno... Objectify is damn good too. I just LOVE the solos. And his tone's improved A LOT.

Oohhhh yeah! :) Cant get enough of em :) Gettin closer and closer to July 1 :)  :peace:
