I would love to see you incorporate more styles of drumming in issues I’m sure you do every time. It was refreshing to hear that short but sweet blast beat in tapping out
awesome vid! Thank you Josh for the Q&A hope you can bring other band members at the next Q&A video so we can get another perspective of how things are. Cheers hope you have a wonderful day!
Mad respect actually addressing the Michael situation tbh. I reckon you handled that perfectly. To many bands have a member depart and never address it on the upcoming releases and I always feel left in the dark. Much love and thanks for being as open with us as possible!
Good to hear that AJ pushed through the stress. I haven't heard a single Issues song with a bad guitar riff, and it would hurt to see a guitarist as talented as AJ take their life.
Sorry to hear about the situation with AJ, but I’m glad to see he’s in a better place now than before. You guys have always been a role model to me of what a band should be like, and as someone who has had many trials working on our album as well I can relate on how emotionally draining it is to make a record that you love. Much love and respect for you guys. I can’t wait to hear what the album presents, and hopefully I’ll see you in the NYC/NJ area on your next tour!
I love how he mentions they all listen to modern music and get inspired while writing new music. If you want to stay sounding relevant and keep growing as well - you pay attention to what's out there. Love it.
For real the most honest Q/A I've seen. Awesome insight! My band and I are about to record a hip-hop record and what you had to say about drumming complexity is my main focus right now. Trying to keep it simple for the songs sake while sneaking in some ghost note double hat work is my goal
Hey man, I appreciate this video. You are one of my favorite drummers. You really are hyper creative and you deserve to be where you’re at. You just seem like a very intelligent human being in general. You have always stood out as a drummer in my eyes. You are super talented. Much love ❤️
Thanks for being so transparent with your answers! I've got 3 quick questions. 1- does anyone go to vocal lessons? (For screaming or cleans)? I know that was a part of Michael's departure. 2-on this record, as a listener, are the drums recorded for drummer perspective or listener? 3-do you guys plan to do a track by track again for this record like headspace? Tbh it was awesome to listen to each song live with you all and get the meaning about them right from you guys. Made the listening process so much more fun knowing the "headspace" you were in writing it! Ps-any more loyals collabs coming? :) your first cover with them got me into them!! Thanks!
I met you all December of 2017 on the last stop of your show. Wanted to say thanks for everything you do for your fans (even though you kicked my ass in smash bros)! Can’t wait for the new record!
With about 50 songs they wrote and only 13 making it on the record; I really hope a deluxe edition comes out. Maybe even some demo tracks too, that'd be cool
This has me more stoked than ever on the new record. You guys essentially just proved that you're above all the noise and are just worried about the craft and making the best "Issues" album you can. I especially respect the ethic and how open to interpretation you all seem to be with the band while still understanding how to reel it all back into the band's brand. You guys truly are the diamond in the rough, the band that's better and smarter than the others. Cheers!
You can make playthrough videos for the new songs. And a full Europe Tour would be also quite nice. You're very smooth and stay on the ground, that's real professional. Have a nice day dude!
I am an absolute newbie to Issues. Beautiful Oblivion is one of the best records I have heard. Josh you are an incredible drummer and rock fucking solid., I can't wait to see you live in what is hopefully the not so distant future. Plus that He Is Legend Few poster is rad. Cheers!
Hey Josh met u guys in OKC years back. Im dying of cancer and I'm like your guys top fan or like to think I am...is give anything to see u guys again and I'll rep issues through my city all day... I'm a drummer and artist to man and ur my fav drummer bro. . Who is your all time fav celebrity crush? Lol
If this album ends up being a masterpiece it will be like an epic novel from a great Portuguese author that saved his book while crossing an ocean, I think. This album was saved from the flames xd
When you say that you started with 50 songs, do you mean top-to-bottom pre-pro, including vocals? Or are you counting EVERY demo you had going in, no matter how much of an idea that was? Because while you guys do take your time with releases, it's not like 100% of that time is dedicated to writing, and I'm sure writing/recording on the road can be a pain in the ass. So I guess a second question would be how do you time manage/take care of witing and pre-pro while you're on the road? (also I'm so excited for this record gimme that artistic GROWTH baby)
I feel like if you guys bring out some equally diverse acts on the headliner (assuming there is one) for this record, that’ll be a nice kickoff to different territory.
can you please give us an update on the next single? usually when a band is promoting an album they have a single like once a month. tapping out came out on may 2nd and you guys haven’t even hinted about releasing another song. it’s kind of aggravating how quiet you are lol
why would you guess this? curious.. wouldn't have anything to do with that other commenter with rumors about this would it? and that they also stated its not coming out until November?
Charlie Österlund // Drums oh wow! Thats friggin cool.. may have to pay some extra attention to detail while watching it again.. i love hidden stuff like that... and thanks for the response! Cheers!
If there was like 5 songs you literally fought over that didn't make it to the record, why not put out an EP after the album with those songs? I can understand that 13 song album instead of 18 makes the album feel less messy, but if you'd want to release those songs that didnt make to the record, could you do it? Or is it something that Rise would maybe not allow?
@@JoshManuel I understand. I wasn't referring to you or the band, just the general fan base seemed/still seem dissatisfied with that album. But, I completely got you
I don’t think you explained the Michael situation like everyone’s saying. If he didn’t participate in the writing process, what prompted that? He didn’t seem like he wasn’t willing to participate when you guys kicked him out. Makes me feel so stupid for supporting Tyler in the Woe is Me scandal. I’m sure Michael feels stupid too.
Its so funny cause before headspace i was sort of into the band. Than realest came out and it threw me off. At first i didnt like the weirdness. I bought headspace and funny thing is that weirdness is what made me a HUGE fan.
Thanks for all the questions. Let me know what other content you guys want to see in the future!
More drum cover babyyyyyyyy🤘
I’d love lessons on some awesome licks from the new album!
I'd kill Tyler for a Rank Rider playthrough
I would love to see you incorporate more styles of drumming in issues I’m sure you do every time. It was refreshing to hear that short but sweet blast beat in tapping out
awesome vid! Thank you Josh for the Q&A hope you can bring other band members at the next Q&A video so we can get another perspective of how things are. Cheers hope you have a wonderful day!
I would pay to see a flippen real world of that 32nd note argument 😂
Missing those flippen real world episodes 😢
I agree and I feel id probably have the right answer and would be adamant about it 😂 I can relate to being a control freak
Very glad AJ pulled through, it makes me happy to see him bounce back.
When the album comes out. I want to know that “1 kick” that brought so much division.
I'm not gonna lie I dont even think I remember which it was haha
Same

Good to hear that AJ pushed through the stress. I haven't heard a single Issues song with a bad guitar riff, and it would hurt to see a guitarist as talented as AJ take their life.
AJ is honestly my favorite dude in the band. I'm so glad he didn't end up killing himself over the stress.
Love your answer about the screaming. I figured that's what was up.
Super stoked about everything you guys are doing man!
Thanks dawg, miss ya. Hope youre doing well
Sorry to hear about the situation with AJ, but I’m glad to see he’s in a better place now than before.

I am looking forward to this album so much. Issues might be my favorite band and the new single is sick
Issues is like the new queen to me with how you guys break the boundaries from what genres sort of require.
Cameron Lott I love Issues, but no band will ever be on the same level as Queen.
Lol.. you don’t listen much to queen then
the first two singles are some of the best stuff I've ever heard from you guys! Super psyched for the new album
Chy K Thank you! So excited for you to hear the rest of the album
I love how he mentions they all listen to modern music and get inspired while writing new music. If you want to stay sounding relevant and keep growing as well - you pay attention to what's out there. Love it.
dude I NEED that monster fridge

I'll take all 50 songs please

Seeing you guys with I Prevail was an amazing experience.
Also. Sorry to hear about the situation with AJ
I honestly can't remember ever being this hyped for an album!! Is there a set release date? :)))
They seriously are just so fresh and knocking it out of the park. It's been years since I've been so excited for an album
Thanks for being so transparent with your answers! I've got 3 quick questions.
1- does anyone go to vocal lessons? (For screaming or cleans)? I know that was a part of Michael's departure.

im just happy to see any content relating the new album, i love this band so much
We love you
@@JoshManuel 😭
It's very clear to me how passionate you guys are about your music. Love it.
Loved the Jazzy sounds of “The Realest” and “Hero” so I’m really excited to hear this album!
TheNamesJER hero is the absolute shit!
Love u Josh! Hope ISSUES comes to Pomona. CA soon!!
holy fuck I had no idea about aj trying to take his life!? man i hope hes ok! Dude is one of the sickest most unique players right now
I met you all December of 2017 on the last stop of your show. Wanted to say thanks for everything you do for your fans (even though you kicked my ass in smash bros)! Can’t wait for the new record!
Thanks for coming out to the show! Hope to see ya again soon!
Josh Manuel yeah! going to try to make it to the Nashville show in August!
Please put out those songs that didnt make it to the album as instrumental tracks! we would love to hear them!
With about 50 songs they wrote and only 13 making it on the record; I really hope a deluxe edition comes out. Maybe even some demo tracks too, that'd be cool
Giovanni That’s not terribly uncommon. A lot of bands will write 40-50 songs for a record, then scale it back to the top 10-12.
My thoughts are with AJ.
Love him to bits
This has me more stoked than ever on the new record. You guys essentially just proved that you're above all the noise and are just worried about the craft and making the best "Issues" album you can.

Hansel Romero Means a lot man thank you!
You can make playthrough videos for the new songs. And a full Europe Tour would be also quite nice. You're very smooth and stay on the ground, that's real professional. Have a nice day dude!
Planning on making lots of playthroughs! Touring schedule will be slammed soon so keep an eye out!

Who is your all time fav celebrity crush? Lol
love you guys man thank you for endless inspiration
Now that I've listened to the whole album probably like 6 times, I can say you told the truth! Thank you Josh, outstanding record!
I couldn't be more excited for the new album, it seems like you guys really poured a lot into this, and that's admirable.
Always gotta put the music first :)
If this album ends up being a masterpiece it will be like an epic novel from a great Portuguese author that saved his book while crossing an ocean, I think. This album was saved from the flames xd
Peepin that He is Legend poster in back 👀
Yesssss
@@JoshManuel getting pumped about their release 🤘 comin up quick
We love you a.j no matter what u do ur fan love you!!
Terry Crews in the house
Thanks for answering my question man
Thanks for asking! :)
I love this, wish every band would do this. So cool to know these things like having 50+ plus to choose from. Great video
Wow, Israel and New Breed? Never saw that coming, but putting in context some of the melodies and harmony of Beautiful Oblivion makes total sense.
So glad meshuggah was an inspiration!
When you say that you started with 50 songs, do you mean top-to-bottom pre-pro, including vocals? Or are you counting EVERY demo you had going in, no matter how much of an idea that was?

(also I'm so excited for this record gimme that artistic GROWTH baby)
Who in the band was listening to Israel and New Breed?
Me and Sky!
This was a good Q&A 👏
Yall made it easy, good questions!
@@JoshManuel I'm so hyped for the album it's unreal but till then I'm jamming tapping out 🤘
Really dig the new music video man!
I feel like if you guys bring out some equally diverse acts on the headliner (assuming there is one) for this record, that’ll be a nice kickoff to different territory.
Way ahead of ya :)
Dude, if Babymetal can play Glastonbury, you guys can play Coachella!
by soonish do you mean this year? gotta keep up with the 3 year gap between an album!
also, thank y'all for always being so honest during this period of the album. big big love
@@rachelbainborough9987 Yerp this year :)
can you please give us an update on the next single? usually when a band is promoting an album they have a single like once a month. tapping out came out on may 2nd and you guys haven’t even hinted about releasing another song. it’s kind of aggravating how quiet you are lol
ISRAEL AND NEW BREED?!?!?!
Okay. Yall. I'm obsessed with Issues. OBSESSEDDDDDDD.
Am I right to guess that the album title is "Beautiful Oblivion"?
why would you guess this? curious.. wouldn't have anything to do with that other commenter with rumors about this would it? and that they also stated its not coming out until November?
Ash Collins someone was able to put together two & two from the yellow subtitles from the tapping out video; November looks to be the release date!
Charlie Österlund // Drums oh wow! Thats friggin cool.. may have to pay some extra attention to detail while watching it again.. i love hidden stuff like that... and thanks for the response! Cheers!
You was right
Thanks for this video bro!!!!

Wait.. so, when does the album come out?
Are there going to be any collabs on the new album?
just fucking come to Malaysia next year man 🙏🏻
We would love to!
Hope to see you for the 3rd time in Thailand,although last time might made you and band disappointed in some issues.
Loathe is SICK
YESSSS
Headspace was honestly a phenomenal record, and it's probably my favorite. Not sure why so many hate on it?
Glad you liked it! We don't hate on it, I just think its hard for us to look back at it and not see what we could have done better.
@@JoshManuel I understand. I wasn't referring to you or the band, just the general fan base seemed/still seem dissatisfied with that album. But, I completely got you
hey so what happened to all of those songs on the cutting room floor can we get any of those instead of Flexin please for the love of god
Salvatration OR just let them do whatever they want.
@@BTBAMRulz They sure can do that, but you'd be fuckin stupid to think that things that deserve criticism aren't going to get them.
Noone asks when the albums coming out!? wtf! ;)
Haha I'm sure people did but Josh intentionally left them out for obvious reasons
Oh I'm sure plenty of ppl did lol
Headspace only had one bad song on it that was a CD I could listen from start to finish
Israel and Newbreed. Nice!
juiced
how dare you set out to NOT scream!!!!! lol! :P
who's bumpin' Israel & New Breed, tho?
Come back to Fort Wayne!
Why only 13 songs if you guys had 50?
I don’t think you explained the Michael situation like everyone’s saying. If he didn’t participate in the writing process, what prompted that? He didn’t seem like he wasn’t willing to participate when you guys kicked him out. Makes me feel so stupid for supporting Tyler in the Woe is Me scandal. I’m sure Michael feels stupid too.
Its so funny cause before headspace i was sort of into the band. Than realest came out and it threw me off. At first i didnt like the weirdness. I bought headspace and funny thing is that weirdness is what made me a HUGE fan.
Soonish like this year or next lol? Rick and Morty Soonish like how long season 3 and 4 took soonish? Haha
Israel new breed??? Inspired by Christian gospel music???? Dude I can’t wait!
First, hey Josh how are you man?
give me suport to man
That goofy lil necklace looks so outta place on him. The hell is that lmao
How many times does he say cohesive? Lol ily josh no homo
Words r hard
@@JoshManuel yuh. No hate man, I promise 🤘
sounds like a really stressful band tbh :[
Lambda Complex lol you’re not wrong
