➡️ It's a "2 FOR 1" special! Not only is it my first time hearing DESCENDENTS, but I'm checking out both "Myage" and "I'm The One" back to back to compare the playing styles of Tony Lombardo and Karl Alvarez. The songs were short, so why not? Both players presented very different playing styles, and it was a blast to hear each of their approaches. I talk about the genius vocal melody cadence in "Myage", what the down-picked bass sound adds to the song, the key-change modulation, and how Tony Lombardo steps OVER the drums to play bass fills and plows right through each drum groove. After hearing this track, Karl Alvarez had a really melodic, unpredictable approach by choosing many notes I didn't expect. I discuss the confusing chord progressions, chord voicings, and how Karl's melodies glue everything together in an ear-twisting way. Both of these guys impart a VASTLY different feel into the band's sound!
