 Thread: Custom Swine Special |
|

We heard them when we put the disc together, some are pretty funny and some are quite touching. A couple people gave almost no information about themselves, so Terry struggled with what to write. They are a good example of Terry's talent and how he can go in any direction with this stuff.

Correct. I don't think the band has done any studio type demos since like the late 80s. For Alarma, for example they had recorded the entire album and a few extra songs as demos and then rerecorded the entire album again 'for real' later. For Shotgun Angel they had done the same thing, and Horrendous Disc had some 4 track demos.
They have gone into the studio and played things essentially live like the Bibleland roughs that were released on some things. But those were the studio recordings used on the album, just not actually mixed or finished.
But, in the last quite a few years, it has been a situation where Terry, Greg, Tim or Jerry might record something on their own in their home in a very rough way.. which is what Terry is showing in the youtube clips. After they have some cassettes done in that style they eventually get together and play through them, like the first part of the Making of Buechners video. Then they head into the studio and record the album.
I would imagine the old process of recording "studio" demos had more to do with being on a record label and needing something to either shop around or show the label.

Or you can log into the kickstarter Daniel Amos campaign page and click on the updates link. The links to the demos are there if you pledged. |

I think this is much larger. I know typically Terry usually gives us an estimate around the $12,000 - $15,000 he asked for on this. But that is a very trim budget, thats a situation where people sacrifice to get the album made and they rely very heavily on friends.
I would estimate this is the largest amount they have had to work with all at once in many many years. I would guess since they were on one of the larger labels. That would be my guess. I don't know the budgets they had on Maranatha, but I doubt the Newpax, Refuge, Frontline, etc budgets were very big.

Its also a nice difference to have an uninvolved 3rd party do the adminsitration part. With preorders we had to do that and it is a big headache when you are also trying to do all the other day to day things.
I think this is also way quicker because of the fact that everyone can see the goal and how close we are getting. The preorder thing can drag on and on. So not only is it a headache, its one that seems to be at the time endless.
With kickstarter though its all handled with the software and then the band gets the funds all at once and then its on them to deliver. Where before I think some fans looked at the 'website' as the administrating entity and saw how long it was taking and put us on the hook for it. If you get what I am saying.
In both cases, preorder and kickstarter campaigns.. how long it takes to generate the funds is purely up to the fanbase, the website can supliment with little releases, but ultimately its up to the fanbase. Then how long it takes to deliver the album is purely up to the band.
Before it was my brother and I and other fans that had to try to encourage more and more people to preorder, but now the goal pretty much does that.
Kickstarter allows this scenario to play out with a lot more clarity. The fans generate the money and see the goal, the band gets the money and creates the album and my brother and I will ship it.
Having a date by which all the funds have to be in by and if not the album won't take place is also a good thing. Where before there was no real cut off date, we just took preorder money until there was enough.

Well, preorders are pretty similar. This is just a lot more organized and formulated and everyone can see the goal and if it is met or passed.
We always hated preorders, even though a lot of things would of never happened without them.

Yeah I bet most DA fans, not counting nerverhoodlians, are probably at least 30 and up. I bet the average would be 40 to 50, but thats just a guess. I mean there are the Shotgun Angel days fans that are probably older than that as well, but if a person was say 17 when Alarma came out they would be 48 now. I bet the middle of the bell curve would be mid to upper 40s or early 50s. Just kinda making rough guesses here though. I think the higher end of the bell curve would be the die hard Shotgun Angel fans who have not drifted away yet, and the low end would be the neverhoodlians.
Now if you throw in the Megamouth fans... and the Frontline Kids fans... and the Raptures fans... then I get confused.
