They're kind of polar opposites in their lead work. Rob doesn't have the same lyricism as Andrew, but Andrew is much more amateur in his lead guitar work than Rob. Rob is much more articulate in what notes he plays, but andrew plays in a more pop punky way.
@@capnzilog He has no idea what he's expected to do, what weird demands are gonna be put on him. Studios experience ridiculous requests that are not even possible in the medium. He can relax about the worse unknowns when his concerns prove unwarranted. A common one is a rock band coming in all fired up and asking to have the loudest record ever. He also knows about how long set ups take, how long people of different skill levels tend to take for various aspects, and what people often get wrong about studio recording.
David Dwyer Oh trust me… He is definitely on board now. I know because, they use the same guy in the making of the 2nd one they did, And he laughed his ass off and just had an overall good time. So yeah… I’d say he’s used to it now. Hopefully he stays that way if they possibly make a 3rd one.
@@Livelaughlimpbizkit last year, it didn’t happen. I don’t know about this year, but I’m thinking probably not. Because technically, we are still in the Covid times. Some places are still being pretty strict so, I’m not sure. but who knows, maybe.
I don't get the hate towards the engineer. He was so cool about it. Got him all excited, you could tell his 'eyeroll' vibe got melted away by all the fun he was having just a few minutes into the video. He was mouthing lyrics, laughing a ton, big smiles, telling them "it's catchy!!". This man was excited to be out of his comfort zone, probably had a blast making music so hapharzardly for a change, without any seriousness.
Everyone is only just kidding, the engineer and Rob know each other so Rob knew that he would be cool with it but it's funny to joke about the long day has

+Skip6235 Talented? You dismiss decades of dedicated practice and studying music, to just some bullshit concept such as talent? Talent is the excuse of the lazy and undedicated...
+IIIRattleHeadIII Well, yes and no. Attributing something to talent alone is BS, but some people are clearly more talented than others. I've been playing guitar for over 10 years and know a lot of other musicians, and there are a couple guys I know who just have something extra y'know. Like they just have a bottomless pit of ideas that somehow translate into their music in just seconds. And the same applies to many other things, like painting/drawing, sculpting, sports, maths etc. Some people just have a natural edge over others in some things, be it a more tactical mind in something like football or a knack for calculations. And in music it's important to have a good ear, which some people just don't have. Or in painting/drawing you need a good colour perception etc. Talent does exist, but talent alone doesn't take anyone anywhere without some hard work and learning.
+ᛞᛟᛟᛗᛁᚾ Well no... if you are doing something, a skill in which body size is not a factor, for longer periods of time than other and getting worse results, you are just practising and learning less efficiently than them. And the "I've been doing "X" for 10 years" means nothing, how long each day? 1 hour? 2 hours? 12 hours? a day every day without exception, holidays, your family passes away and so on, in the hospital, then I bet you'd get much better results.

When you're a recording engineer and two musicians come into the studio to record an album they haven't even written yet and it doesn't end in disaster.
I said it on Andrew's vid but I'll say it again; I absolutely love the raw energy that came from most of this being improvised. You just can't write something like that in. So much chemistry and love of the craft
@TootTootMcbumbersnazzle thought that'd be it. Yup. Well I'm pretty basic on my experimental rock knowledge... I know Mr Bungles, though not much, listened to Stag by the Melvins, some Ashley Paul, trout mask replica, and that's pretty much it...
Making an Album in a Day (w/ Andrew Huang) Could also be called Slowly sapping the life and love out a sound engineer in 10 hours. Watch him die behind the eyes.
can we appreciate how good Robs voice is for someone who isn't formally trained to sing? His "head voice" is actually really strong and his range isn't even bad.
I agree, i feel the lack of technique, but i still appreciate it. He is a little flat or sharp sometimes but he is pretty good for someone not trained.
Joshua Ciardelli don’t mind him. Trust me, he’s been in almost every comment thread acting like he’s all that and a bag of chips, when in reality he’s just some idiot who sits around doing nothing but being a douche bag all day. to quoteone of my favorite lines from the video game Catherine, ahem, “Newsflash, fuuuuuuuck you”!
Why should he? They're probably paying him by hour so no point to get all bitchy about it. They wanna do their thing so let them do their thing, it's your job to help them.
I'm not joking: this is so good, i've been listening to it daily once since release, the whole 20 min. I don't know whether I appreciate it more because I know you only had 10 hours, but still there are some strong songs in there
Because I noticed they rearranged it for the album, the ten tracks here to the ten tracks on the album: 1 -> 7 ("Things To Do") 2 -> 1 ("Woo!") 3 -> 6 ("Rollerbladin'") 4 -> 8 ("Always") 5 -> 5 ("Don't Go") 6 -> 2 ("Can't Be Stopped") 7 -> 9 ("Spoilers for Playdead's Inside") 8 -> 3 ("Two Friends") 9 -> 4 ("Don't Go To My House") 10 -> 10 ("Possible Band Names")
Rob's improv lyrics are really revealing. Like now, I know Rob has 28 pairs of pants in his closet, doesn't like uninvited company, oh yeah, and he has a head and ten toes. WOO!
This might seem silly to a lot of people, but as someone who's looking for inspiration to finally start writing music this is some beautiful ass stuff.
Rewatching this after "Gotta Record Everything Good" The journey that First of October has gone through is incredible. Andrew and Rob are fantastic, but I've gotta sing the praises of Rob Ruccia, the sound engineer. Even over the course of this first album, he gradually gets more and more on board. Great work!
+palmomki This is a stupid argument to be had, since I'm not liking to fanboy anyone here. If you're looking into a purely analytical and theoretical level, Adam Neely is miles ahead of these guys. That's kind of a given.
I really want to start writing music but I have no clue where to start. I think this has given me the inspiration and chaos to sit and get something done.
I find myself singing "Rollerblading" almost daily. I don't even think about it, I just find myself singing a melody and I'm like, "What is this melody I'm singing? Oh, it's Rollerblading, amazing."
@@prometheustv6558 but they didnt write all the songs and parts in a day. they probably practiced and played and came up with parts for weeks or months
Rob and Andrew are absolutely amazing but that sound engineer has been absolutely hilarious and super friendly in recent videos. Especially that tapedeck effects video.
Yeah, I'm real keen on seeing him as a recurring cast member of this channel. He seems like a really down-to-earth personality that allows for Rob to be a bit more bouncy in these videos.
Rewatching these 5 years later it’s amazing how much the process evolved. I can’t remember what I thought about this years ago… but they have totally evolved as musicians.
Oh my goodness that was great. xD Either that recording engineer thinks you guys are brilliant, or he thinks you're totally out of your minds for going to the studio to record an album in one day that hadn't even been planned, let alone written. XD
My guess: both. Note, somewhere early on he said something along the lines of, "This _may_ just be the craziest thing I've ever had in here…" By the end, he must have been pretty sure of that - "…and it is glorious…" 😁👍
Ive come back to watch this video every month for the past 3 years, now in 3 weeks me and my friends are gonna do the same thing at the university studio. wish me luck guys.
So I've watched part of this video before, but didn't finish it until today. I went and downloaded the album and I'm impressed. You can tell which lyrics were written near the end of the session, but its humorous and lighthearted and puts a smile on your face when you listen. GREAT JOB guys!
it's so entertaining because they're both so talented even though you know rob as a guitars player he's so well balanced and andrew has the best vocals ever too
wuziq right? In the new one, he just laughed his ass off and had an overall good time, where as this one, it took him a while to figure out oh yeah… they’re just fucking around and having a good time challenging themselves. if you want my honest opinion, I wish more people were like that. I’m not saying be happy and bouncy and have fun all the time, hell no. No human is capable of that. I’m just saying try to have fun with the project you do. You know what I mean? Especially when that’s your livelihood, creating, and producingmusic almost every single day.

the first one of these i watched was the 2021, I was having writers block and after watching the video I wrote/produced/recorded a song in 30 minutes, thx for the inspiration guys!!
With musicians as talented as Rob and Andrew, and Glenn being a TH-camr himself (who knows stuff like this is gold as far as content goes), I think it would have turned out pretty great.
'Don't Go' has got to be my favorite track. The lyrics remind me of the feeling of being in a relationship with someone who is experiencing mental illness which causes them to be distant from their partner. "Don't go, just because I do"
My response from the album on Andrew's page: Damn. "Always" ended up being a really damn good song. Next challenge: "20 Hours", the album. Spend another 10 hours in the studio fleshing out these songs, writing real lyrics for some of them.... Not sure there would honestly be a lot to do with "Always", it's already really good. But, I think you really have the makings of something with, "Don't go." Just needs a little work, and it could be really great. Overall, an amazing achievement. I mean, these songs are all listenable. Just gotta say: the sounds that you guys go for... It's very much not the usual. Jazz chords in metal settings, sudden, massive changes in dynamics and even genre. You both have a very unusual way of thinking about music, and even most astounding is that you seem to have the exact same unusual way of thinking about it. lol You make a great team. Would love to hear more from 1st of October. lmao
That would be awesome. If the songs were made with more time I felt most of them would be extraordinarily good. I still enjoy most of the scat lyrics songs, but songs like “Don’t Go,” weren’t as fleshed out as they could have been. Who knows, maybe they’ll do a Remastered album of sorts this year.
Found this band this year, one of my favorites now. ten hours is a phenomenal album. these behind the scenes creation videos are so awesome. shoutout to greg
1. Rollerbladin. 2.Dont Go. 3.Cant be stopped. 4.Always. are honestly great songs!!! Rollerbladin i cant stop singing in the house. But unfortunately they all get trumped by Two Friends

When you're a recording engineer and two musicians come into the studio to record an album they haven't even written yet and it doesn't end in disaster.
Todesnuss I mean... I guess miracles do happen
Legend says Corelia got in the studio the next day, and even after all this time they still don't have their shit together.
these guys are more productive in 10 hours than i am in 10 years
I said it on Andrew's vid but I'll say it again; I absolutely love the raw energy that came from most of this being improvised. You just can't write something like that in. So much chemistry and love of the craft
Listen to IDLES and Parquet Courts: it's possible.
@TootTootMcbumbersnazzle Do you mean captain beefheart? Like trout mask beefheart?!? Do you wanna destroy their minds?
@TootTootMcbumbersnazzle what?
@TootTootMcbumbersnazzle thought that'd be it. Yup. Well I'm pretty basic on my experimental rock knowledge... I know Mr Bungles, though not much, listened to Stag by the Melvins, some Ashley Paul, trout mask replica, and that's pretty much it...

can we appreciate how good Robs voice is for someone who isn't formally trained to sing? His "head voice" is actually really strong and his range isn't even bad.
I agree, i feel the lack of technique, but i still appreciate it. He is a little flat or sharp sometimes but he is pretty good for someone not trained.
Please make this a yearly tradition every first of October
That engineer went back and forth between looking like he wanted to murder all of you and looking like he was super impressed!
I hope they tipped him. Poor guy. He must see "Rob Scallon" on the schedule and consider calling in sick
I think he was so impressed that he wanted to commit murder
If I'm doing a stupid session like this I'd kick ass their asses
That is pretty run of the mill engineer behavior.
Joshua Ciardelli don’t mind him. Trust me, he’s been in almost every comment thread acting like he’s all that and a bag of chips, when in reality he’s just some idiot who sits around doing nothing but being a douche bag all day. to quoteone of my favorite lines from the video game Catherine, ahem, “Newsflash, fuuuuuuuck you”!

For them, writing an album in one day is a challenge.
For Buckethead it was a Tuesday.
bellyOfaTiger has he really made an album in a day? Legitimately curious here.
@@BlindMelonLord Between 2014 and 2015 he released 178 albums in the Pikes series. So it's highly possible he wrote some of those in one day.

1 -> 7 ("Things To Do")
2 -> 1 ("Woo!")

The journey that First of October has gone through is incredible. Andrew and Rob are fantastic, but I've gotta sing the praises of Rob Ruccia, the sound engineer. Even over the course of this first album, he gradually gets more and more on board. Great work!
Andrew can play some serious guitar. This is so fun. Woo

Andy Guitar when you have almost 1 million subs but only one like on your comment😂
I really want to start writing music but I have no clue where to start. I think this has given me the inspiration and chaos to sit and get something done.
The first step to writing a song for me is to strum and hum staring at a fish tank.
I find myself singing "Rollerblading" almost daily. I don't even think about it, I just find myself singing a melody and I'm like, "What is this melody I'm singing? Oh, it's Rollerblading, amazing."

Rob and Andrew are absolutely amazing but that sound engineer has been absolutely hilarious and super friendly in recent videos. Especially that tapedeck effects video.
Yeah, I'm real keen on seeing him as a recurring cast member of this channel. He seems like a really down-to-earth personality that allows for Rob to be a bit more bouncy in these videos.
Is there a kickstarter for this engineer? I kinda want to give him some cash for all he went through.
David Wallace well he got payed for this...
you are talking about wages. he got wages
Rewatching these 5 years later it’s amazing how much the process evolved. I can’t remember what I thought about this years ago… but they have totally evolved as musicians.
Oh my goodness that was great. xD Either that recording engineer thinks you guys are brilliant, or he thinks you're totally out of your minds for going to the studio to record an album in one day that hadn't even been planned, let alone written. XD
My guess: both. Note, somewhere early on he said something along the lines of, "This _may_ just be the craziest thing I've ever had in here…" By the end, he must have been pretty sure of that - "…and it is glorious…" 😁👍
@@CoPoint Yeah, I thought of that shortly after I submitted the comment. xD You're probably right.
It's the guy's career, I'm pretty sure he's already seen unprepared bands in the studio.
If he's an engineer worth anything in salt, he looked up Rob ahead of time to get an idea of who he'd be dealing with.
I think that's how blink-182 first recordings were
Ive come back to watch this video every month for the past 3 years, now in 3 weeks me and my friends are gonna do the same thing at the university studio. wish me luck guys.

it's so entertaining because they're both so talented even though you know rob as a guitars player he's so well balanced and andrew has the best vocals ever too
it's interesting watching this after the 2019 version and seeing the difference in expectations from the sound engineer.
wuziq right? In the new one, he just laughed his ass off and had an overall good time, where as this one, it took him a while to figure out oh yeah… they’re just fucking around and having a good time challenging themselves. if you want my honest opinion, I wish more people were like that. I’m not saying be happy and bouncy and have fun all the time, hell no. No human is capable of that. I’m just saying try to have fun with the project you do. You know what I mean?

probably "good enough since u dont have more time"
That was in response to them revealing they were going to make everything up as they went along in the studio. So yes, definitely.
I read it as "I'm not gonna stop you but this is not going to work" - which ... well, the first half came true. :P

And they can only use a Line 6 spider
@@ryanchapman2636 oh no
Yea holy shit man! I want rob and Andrew to do this in Glenn’s studio, and make a video with it.
It probably would be the best selling album he ever produced.
'Don't Go' has got to be my favorite track. The lyrics remind me of the feeling of being in a relationship with someone who is experiencing mental illness which causes them to be distant from their partner. "Don't go, just because I do"
Here I am, scrolling through the comments and laughing at all the Tool jokes, and you have to go and make me get all in my feels.
just go listen some simon and garfunkel
I didn't go here for the feels man
Hey man, can u share a lyrics for "Don't Go" please?
Same here!
Don’t go is the perfect example that rob can right deep and meaningful stuff pulled out of no where instead of ravioli and 28 pairs of pamts
It's so cool rewatching this after becoming familiar with the album and knowing all the songs inside out.
My response from the album on Andrew's page:
Damn. "Always" ended up being a really damn good song.
Next challenge: "20 Hours", the album.
Spend another 10 hours in the studio fleshing out these songs, writing real lyrics for some of them.... Not sure there would honestly be a lot to do with "Always", it's already really good. But, I think you really have the makings of something with, "Don't go." Just needs a little work, and it could be really great.
Overall, an amazing achievement. I mean, these songs are all listenable.
Just gotta say: the sounds that you guys go for... It's very much not the usual. Jazz chords in metal settings, sudden, massive changes in dynamics and even genre. You both have a very unusual way of thinking about music, and even most astounding is that you seem to have the exact same unusual way of thinking about it. lol You make a great team. Would love to hear more from 1st of October. lmao
Bronson Carder Yea if this were a real band it’ll be my second favourite one.
That would be awesome. If the songs were made with more time I felt most of them would be extraordinarily good. I still enjoy most of the scat lyrics songs, but songs like “Don’t Go,” weren’t as fleshed out as they could have been. Who knows, maybe they’ll do a Remastered album of sorts this year.
Found this band this year, one of my favorites now. ten hours is a phenomenal album. these behind the scenes creation videos are so awesome. shoutout to greg
1. Rollerbladin. 2.Dont Go. 3.Cant be stopped. 4.Always. are honestly great songs!!! Rollerbladin i cant stop singing in the house. But unfortunately they all get trumped by Two Friends
