i think the specific part of the song they were referring to when they made that comment sounds like the verse section of “you” by radiohead, but without the weird timing.
based on this entire season, i can come to one conclusion: this year’s first of october album is gonna be the best one yet, holy shit i’m so excited for it
I'm not sure if theyll be in this studio for it but I really hope they are, I like how open it is and how many options they have openly available to them already set up
I love the irony of Rob being the guitar guy but this was all Andrew on guitar. I also cannot believe how stupidly good this song came out. Watching the process was inspirational; not every idea is good, but a great song is made by knowing which ideas to keep and which ones to toss. And of course, the top-tier muscianship of this amazing duo, and their deep friendship are the icing here. Everything about this video was fantastic to watch, making it a great last video of the season. I look forward to season 2 with everything at my core!
I’m getting massive post-grunge Seattle vibes 94-98 era. There is something else layered in that I can’t put my finger on influences wise but it’s so emotionally familiar and comfortable in a great way. It’s definitely “yep, I remember being here before. And that’s relaxing”
That something else is probably Mike Patton of Faith No More, and etc. I'm only 3:15 in, but already I hear influences from both FNM and also the grunge bands... and people are mentioning QoTSA
Early on in the video, I was definitely thinking the exact same thing. Later in the video, it morphed into something a little more modern sounding, but still had the influence.
I love that they left the 1h limit format in this one. I think limitations breed creativity but so often 1 hour simply wasn't enough for what they wanted the songs to be.
ripping the hardest riffs in a cardigan and leggings is like one of those things that when Andrew does it you don't even question it and it's fucking awesome!
I was hoping sooo bad that they'd figure out a way to also include "Bike Pile" riff in the middle of the song, but man, I loved SO MUCH how this one turned out
such a dope track. i absolutely adore andrew’s reaction to his own awesome playing at 7:35. THAT’S what making music is all about; those “YOOOOO” moments are everything hahahah.
I would love to see an episode where someone writes all the lyrics for the song, gives it to them, and they have to create the music for it. Since they always write the music first and then the lyrics.
His electronic stuff is cool, but the dude has an absolute TALENT for pumping out headbangin riffs. Every single one has that sauce that makes it amazing. I'd be curious to hear how he'd write a true groove metal riff. I feel like he hasn't ever really gotten into that territory, but he probably has the chops for it.
I love the fact that Andrew always uses that beautiful old guitar. IIRC, it's a cheap and old guitar that he has had forever, and is very attached to, and I think that's lovely. I respect guitarists who prioritize having multiple high quality guitars, but there is something about growing attached to your cheap and unique guitar that I just love.
This one had big "mid 00s sports game menu music" vibes, in the best way possible! Nostalgic to that kinda epic hard rock sound without specifically biting any specific song or artist. EA should license this for their next NHL game or something.
This was probably one of my favourite riffs that you guys came up with so it’s definitely cool to see this come to life, I could definitely get some Queens of the Stone Age/Muse/Smashing Pumpkins vibes and I absolutely love it. Like that’s awesome, I’ll definitely be checking the song out on Spotify and I’m also super looking forward to Season 2. This series has been absolutely awesome and really makes me wish I could come up with riffs like that lol
They absolutely need to do Saloon at Dusk. Make it slow and nasty, with twanging banjo and a haunting synth. Oh wait, I already suggested that on the last one.
While you were talking I imagined a community with something like a two sided marketplace designed around collaboration instead of buying and selling. No central hub, everyone can connect and share with each other and credits would be automatically applied by the platform. Thank you for sharing your story ❤
I've only just started the video, but I would like to point out that the captions at the beginning say "I was on drugs, yeah" instead of "I was on drums, yeah" 😂Might give folks the wrong impression of why Rob was only helping! Looking forward to seeing what you've made today ✨
@@spanzotab I'm also a hearing person (subtitles just help me follow along a lot better) but through the power of context and having seen the riff lord video, the slight ambiguity wasn't an issue for me? 😂
I realized listening to the song at the end, this is just my favorite type of youtube content. two friends just making music and hanging out, a banger track at the end, fun presentation ... I dunno, it just has everything. I really enjoyed sonic boom - happy to hear there's gonna be a season 2 :)
This series deserves so much more recognition than it gets. The produciton quality is better than half the stuff you see on TV, its super entertaining, and the format works so well. Could see this getting picked up by a network or something someday.
these videos are very inspirational because a friend of mine is visiting from awhile away in October and we're gonna have a day to see if we can make a song or two, or maybe even an EP together
@@elusivefrog yes i have seen those, they're awesome a little unrealistic of a goal to set when we don't have a recording engineer or anything though, we'll just be recording in my room but there's definitely stuff to pick up i think knowing when to embrace silliness is a good thing to learn from those videos
I feel like the part of the song rob felt like he had heard before reminds me a little of "How Would I die" and "I know what you are" from Carter Burwell's twilight score (which also reminds me of the blood theme from dexter). listening to them they aren't the same but there's something in the riff/Andrew's humming over it (when he's looking for a vocal melody) that just made me think of those scores. I don't know... it's late and I'm sleep deprived... maybe my brain is just hinting to me that I just want to rewatch Dexter or something XD.
The song, to me, sounds like something The Smashing Pumpkins SHOULDVE released after 'Melancholy'. I absolutely love how you both collaborate very organically and truly wish i knew people that were like my 'missing puzzle pieces' like you both seem to be. Amazing drums, riffs, bass, vocals, synths, lyrics..amazing EVERYTHING! Side note: this song is currently stuck in my head only after hearing it once......and THAT is how i know you guys are awesome!.
I have no words to express the joy this series brought me. Seeing that i'll have to stay without it for a while broke my heart. Can't wait for this year's First Of October.
I love that y'all talk about "collecting riffs". I've been trying to do something like that for myself. I started trying to do a "musical diary" type thing, so trying to record on my phone recorder app for at least 10 minutes a day.. anything that comes to mind or just messing around. The important thing is to record anything at all! What I've found is sometimes the riffs are similar day to day, and sometimes they morph into something I didn't expect, and that can have a magical feeling. I've been doing it for over a year now (most days, not every day) but when you look back on the recordings and you have a years worth or two, it's like an immediately accessible vault of information from your musical past. Some of it can be "bad", some "good", but when you go back to listen and you're in a different headspace, it's all interesting. a lot of the times, I find the bad stuff sounds the best, or inspires new ideas the most. Thanks y'all for all you do to record this content and show your creative process, it's the best! :)
I haven't seen anyone point this out yet, but the vocal melody of the verses is the same as 'You' by Radiohead, but I can't imagine Rob or Andrew would know that song so it probably sounds familiar due to it being a very simple melody
I've just posted exactly the same comment ^^. 100% agree. During all the video, I had it on the top of my tongue. Andrew and Rob have a large culture, so I would not be surprised if they know this song. Maybe they just did something similar unconsciously
Very grateful for this show. It's so inspiring and entertaining. I genuinely feel nourished by it. Mad props to everyone involved, and I look forward to the next season!
Sometimes when I watch such talented creators I end up thinking I should just give up playing music, not so with you guys it's infectious and inspiring 👍
Love how dreamy this turned out. Love the isolated bass and synth during the verse, the killer riffs (glad you just left that original riff without any vocals) the high reverb on the vocals, and then the triple stacked vocals in the pre-chorus? Chorus? This could nearly pass for one of my favorite genres of music, shoegaze.
I had a bit of a Smashing Pumpkins feel, I think what you were guys were hearing was Cherub Rock - similar melodies and chords. Sounded great, the vocals were super powerful!
Im subscribed to close to 150 channels on TH-cam and Sonic Boom is by far my favorite series on the platform. Season one was epic and brought so much joy, cant wait for season two!!!
Fantastic! You've knocked it out of the park again 🥰 Sad this is the last one for now, but I look forward to seeing more in the future! I assume you're gearing up for First of October soon, so it makes sense to take a break now. Looking forward to seeing what y'all make this year 👀
absolutely fucking MAGICAL work guys!! this up there at the top tier of sonic boom. god we just cannot ever have enough of you guys making the most beautiful music. XDDD loved the ending LMAO
Sonic Boom might be the best TH-camr Music thing out there. It's hilarious, super creative and endlessly rewatchable, take a good break, because you earned it. PLEASE don't feel rushed this series is a gift and once it returns we are all still gonna be here, if that is in a few months or in a year.
I only have one complaint with this song…it’s too short and I want more haha! Seriously obsessed with this song and it’s definitely my most played song on Spotify since it came out!
I get goosebumps when you guys do this. You really inspire me goosebumps man I’m not kidding big smile on my face. I love this stuff. Much love to you from Kennewick Washington Washington state on the mighty Columbia river
I KNEW THIS REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING!!! Look up Bullets Per Minute OST and literally the whole game has music like this. ugh such a vibe, thank you for reminding me about this gem
This is my favorite episode editing wise. All the episodes have been awesome,but this one to me shows the song writing process the best. The moments of making the song and trying ideas that sometimes don’t work, but then the journey to what does work. Andrew, Rob, and the team have earned the break for sure. Already super excited for when season two comes around.
Yall killed this shit. It's always fun watching and going, I can't wait to see how this all comes together. I am never disappointed. Whoever is mixing and recording this stuff too is really good.
god i need to know how to edit video with music like this, andrew should totally make a indepth video on how he does his editing with syncing up the footage and music
It's insane to me to think that you 2 are still so young and still keep learning SO MANY INSTRUMENTS. Like, in my Head Andrew, you're like a god of synths, and then you just go absolutely ham on Guitar as well... It's nuts! Love this show. One of the best on the Internet right now for SURE
What a great first season. I’ve been watching you, Andrew, ever since the “songs to wear pants to days”. One of my favorite songs to date has been your song “water.” But I’ve got to say that this most recent era of your creative journey from your travels through space and time to sonic boom has been my favorite to watch. That being said. I would love another “we are what you tweet” with Gunnarola.
Oh my goodness, this was an absolutely amazing song - without hesitation I'd say it's the best I've heard from you guys. Got so many great Coheed and Cambria vibes among other things - unbelievable work. You've been amazing together throughout this series, but these last couple episodes have shown how much you've grown together as a very real band/compositional force. This song really needs to become big. Like for real.
watching the whole series sonic boom videos has been an absolute joy. there's nothing more fun than seeing you guys just havign fun and creating together. im so hyped to see more.
Especially the chromatic lines in the guitar + heavy feel (and wire-y sound)! Edit: The Blind House (The Incident album) mixed with Steven's newer punk-ish stuff (To The Bone era)

I have so much love for this show and you guys! You brighten up any day a new episode comes out!
A small break is needed (for first of October >_>) - Excellent work guys!
Incredible song in this one! We need a full concept album of this sound from y’all, unbelievably exceptional!!❤❤❤
Could honestly watch this show forever it’s amazing!! So much chemistry and fun with you two ❤
You guys need a Sonic Boom channel!
"We're bitin' somethin, but... Y'know, whatever, let's just take a chomp"
Fantastic metaphor Rob lmao
It sounds to me like "the distance- by cake"
i think the specific part of the song they were referring to when they made that comment sounds like the verse section of “you” by radiohead, but without the weird timing.
This shoulda been in the lyrics fr
Funny enough they move away from it but I swear it was In Bloom that they had a nibble of.
the chord immediately reminded me of "go with the flow" by queens of the stone age
I like how while trying to make a song out of one riff, they came up with three more EVEN COOLER riffs! 😅
Andrew "the Hydra" Huang
That's called being in the flow state... :D
based on this entire season, i can come to one conclusion:
this year’s first of october album is gonna be the best one yet, holy shit i’m so excited for it
I'm not sure if theyll be in this studio for it but I really hope they are, I like how open it is and how many options they have openly available to them already set up
It's like they're practicing year round so for this October they won't be rusty at all.
Definitely! They are on FIRE this year!
It'll be interesting to see if it's as random as usual or a more coherent album now they've got all the random stuff out of the way
@@billymcguiremusicno, you're wrong, they have now burned a city to the ground.
I love that everyone is hearing a different 90s band in this song
4 minutes in, sounded a lot like the queens of the stone age!
Go With The Flow 👍
I just came here to say this lol
Ye sounded very queens of the stone age. Hit tho
EXACTLY, THANK YOU!
I was just about to comment “4:32 Rob realizes it’s QotSA”
The new riffs Andrew came up with for this absolutely slap.
Might be my favorite song of the season! Looking forward to S2 🙌
IKRRRR! I cannot agree with this comment more LOL
Spoiler: it was insane 'points at Dorian'
I got teleported to another dimension as soon as i heard the "Saloon at Dusk" riff. Absolutely amazing and would love to see a song using that.
FR
It has happened now
The camerawork and editing on this video in particular is too good, keep up the amazing work.
13:55 what an angle!
I love the irony of Rob being the guitar guy but this was all Andrew on guitar. I also cannot believe how stupidly good this song came out. Watching the process was inspirational; not every idea is good, but a great song is made by knowing which ideas to keep and which ones to toss. And of course, the top-tier muscianship of this amazing duo, and their deep friendship are the icing here. Everything about this video was fantastic to watch, making it a great last video of the season. I look forward to season 2 with everything at my core!
I’m getting massive post-grunge Seattle vibes 94-98 era. There is something else layered in that I can’t put my finger on influences wise but it’s so emotionally familiar and comfortable in a great way. It’s definitely “yep, I remember being here before. And that’s relaxing”
That something else is probably Mike Patton of Faith No More, and etc. I'm only 3:15 in, but already I hear influences from both FNM and also the grunge bands... and people are mentioning QoTSA
One of the top comments mentioned Go With the Flow by QoTSA.
The drop really sounds like Cherub Rock. I even think it's in the same key.
Early on in the video, I was definitely thinking the exact same thing. Later in the video, it morphed into something a little more modern sounding, but still had the influence.
yeah, reminds me of failure at points, especially the quieter, more atmospheric sections of the song.
The rhythm verse in particular reminds me of "In Bloom" by Nirvana. Also, I freaking love seeing Rob jam out in the background at 6:45.
I was going to comment about Ruccia in the back there too. 🤣
I hear a lot of nirvana inspiration in this track anyway
I could definitely hear this coming from the Foos
I was thinking Tom Sawyer 😂
I think it's definitely got some vibes from You by Radiohead
I love that they left the 1h limit format in this one. I think limitations breed creativity but so often 1 hour simply wasn't enough for what they wanted the songs to be.
this one isn’t a one hour song challenge though…
I personally like the non 1 hour challenge ones more. It feels for creative and collaborative.
@@caseyhamm4292I think you misread the comment. They were saying they are happy there wasn’t a time limit this episode :)
@@johnnyklasing4002 i just meant because the one hour song challenge is one of their other segments on this show
@@caseyhamm4292 ahhh I guess I was the one who misread 🤦♂️ hahaha
Rob just continues to become a better and better drummer. Sitting right in the freaking pocket for this one.
When "I feel like I've been collecting riffs my whole life..." hits a little too hard...
ripping the hardest riffs in a cardigan and leggings is like one of those things that when Andrew does it you don't even question it and it's fucking awesome!
I was hoping sooo bad that they'd figure out a way to also include "Bike Pile" riff in the middle of the song, but man, I loved SO MUCH how this one turned out
What I love at the series is that they have the excitment of teens in a band but the technical efficiency of Professional musicians. Keep it up ❤
parts of it sounds very Muse, one of my favourite bands of all time. sick song
Yeah, definitely some Muse vibes on the ascending line.
Agreed, the chromatic part at 5:12 really reminds me of Muse. The singing from Andrew at that part sounds like something Matthew Bellamy would do.
I thought of Avenged Sevenfold's song Nightmare, which contains the same chords in the intro @@vsouza5000
BRO, the whole video was sick but that house band breakdown @11:56 was FIRE
Fr
such a dope track. i absolutely adore andrew’s reaction to his own awesome playing at 7:35. THAT’S what making music is all about; those “YOOOOO” moments are everything hahahah.
I would love to see an episode where someone writes all the lyrics for the song, gives it to them, and they have to create the music for it. Since they always write the music first and then the lyrics.
I love the Queens of the Stone Age vibes this rife has. Great song guys!
Same!!! the more they developed it, all I could hear was QOTSA
The quality never stops going up, this is absolute gold guys.
Andrew has found his true genre and style, and now he can only pump out bangers, especially with rob.
His electronic stuff is cool, but the dude has an absolute TALENT for pumping out headbangin riffs. Every single one has that sauce that makes it amazing.
I'd be curious to hear how he'd write a true groove metal riff. I feel like he hasn't ever really gotten into that territory, but he probably has the chops for it.
I love the fact that Andrew always uses that beautiful old guitar. IIRC, it's a cheap and old guitar that he has had forever, and is very attached to, and I think that's lovely. I respect guitarists who prioritize having multiple high quality guitars, but there is something about growing attached to your cheap and unique guitar that I just love.
This one had big "mid 00s sports game menu music" vibes, in the best way possible! Nostalgic to that kinda epic hard rock sound without specifically biting any specific song or artist. EA should license this for their next NHL game or something.
Oh my god why does this make so much sense, it has no right making that much sense lmfao
Imaginging scrolling through hockey clubs to this song right now
Madden 09 vibes no doubt
I know Andrew doesn't focus on rock much, but I love Andrew rock. It's so damn good
This was probably one of my favourite riffs that you guys came up with so it’s definitely cool to see this come to life, I could definitely get some Queens of the Stone Age/Muse/Smashing Pumpkins vibes and I absolutely love it. Like that’s awesome, I’ll definitely be checking the song out on Spotify and I’m also super looking forward to Season 2. This series has been absolutely awesome and really makes me wish I could come up with riffs like that lol
exactly the 3 bands that came to mind for me as well!
I feel there is a bit of radiohead in it as well
@@red_rassmueller1716 Maybe a bit, yeah. Like, I can hear some Bends-era RH in there
“I need to clear my mind/
A year or two is fine”
is such a vibe.
Do the ‘Saloon at Dusk’ riff in another video!!! Super inspiring stuff guys.
They absolutely need to do Saloon at Dusk. Make it slow and nasty, with twanging banjo and a haunting synth. Oh wait, I already suggested that on the last one.
They could do a slow chorus using the riff and a fast cowboy-punk verse.
They did today!
While you were talking I imagined a community with something like a two sided marketplace designed around collaboration instead of buying and selling. No central hub, everyone can connect and share with each other and credits would be automatically applied by the platform.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤
I've only just started the video, but I would like to point out that the captions at the beginning say "I was on drugs, yeah" instead of "I was on drums, yeah" 😂Might give folks the wrong impression of why Rob was only helping!
Looking forward to seeing what you've made today ✨
Thanks for catching that 😄
@@andrewhuang Thanks for the subtitles! They were great otherwise 😊
As a hearing person I also misheard it as drugs lmao

This years First of October is gonna be INCREDIBLE with all the time and practice you guys have got

Good luck fellow music maker!

a little unrealistic of a goal to set when we don't have a recording engineer or anything though, we'll just be recording in my room

Did you end up making that EP or any other recording?

I absolutely love this song, it’s so early 2000s! A little Deftones, a little Mars Volta. Friggin awesome!
I always love what you two do together. But I think this might be my favourite one so far.
Anyone else get Silverchair vibes from this?
Love Sonic Boom! Such an awesome concept and love how this song turned out.
“Have you ever heard of Shawn mendes?” Is the best way to end this episode 😂😂😂😂
i didnt get that... care to explain? just a diss for shawn mendes? how is he/his related to this?
The song, to me, sounds like something The Smashing Pumpkins SHOULDVE released after 'Melancholy'. I absolutely love how you both collaborate very organically and truly wish i knew people that were like my 'missing puzzle pieces' like you both seem to be. Amazing drums, riffs, bass, vocals, synths, lyrics..amazing EVERYTHING! Side note: this song is currently stuck in my head only after hearing it once......and THAT is how i know you guys are awesome!.

Andrew's drip is sick in this episode
Came here to say this
I think I watched this video something like 20 times and listened to the song over a hundred, this one is just perfect
Love this series so much!
This one could actually be a huge hit!
Very grateful for this show. It's so inspiring and entertaining. I genuinely feel nourished by it. Mad props to everyone involved, and I look forward to the next season!

Exactly my thoughts. But in some parts it kinda sounds like something out of Mellon Collie
Anyone else keep coming back to this video over and over? I can't get enough and have showed it to so many people.
Oh, that instantly transported me back to the 90s, and early 2000s. Fresh, and so very nostalgic at the same time.

Just unironically one of my favorite songs of all time rn. God what a banger.
This belongs on the radio. This is SO good and the world needs to hear it!
absolutely fucking MAGICAL work guys!! this up there at the top tier of sonic boom. god we just cannot ever have enough of you guys making the most beautiful music. XDDD loved the ending LMAO

You are both freakishly good to come up with this banger in just a day. I'm actually amazed!
Getting big Royal Blood vibes from this riff. Love how much fun you guys have making music, always makes me smile.
I heard that too. I was thinking it sounds like Royal Blood covering a Queens of the Stone Age song
Nobody else makes making music look so fun. You guys are awesome
Living for that fuzz guys.
I want a classic stoner rock album out of you.
please make a full album like this
this song hit so hard
I started listening to Adrew after the 100 riffs video, and think he should do more rock music like this... he's really good at riffing.
I get goosebumps when you guys do this. You really inspire me goosebumps man I’m not kidding big smile on my face. I love this stuff. Much love to you from Kennewick Washington Washington state on the mighty Columbia river
Rob's drumming has really become excellent as of late in these videos!
I KNEW THIS REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING!!! Look up Bullets Per Minute OST and literally the whole game has music like this. ugh such a vibe, thank you for reminding me about this gem
3:13 this is nirvana - in bloom
This is my favorite episode editing wise. All the episodes have been awesome,but this one to me shows the song writing process the best. The moments of making the song and trying ideas that sometimes don’t work, but then the journey to what does work.
Andrew, Rob, and the team have earned the break for sure. Already super excited for when season two comes around.
I would pay crazy money to see you guys play live in concert. Damn. That tune is a #1 hit song!
Yall killed this shit. It's always fun watching and going, I can't wait to see how this all comes together. I am never disappointed. Whoever is mixing and recording this stuff too is really good.
This needs to be a full concept album
PLEASE do more like this, I fucking love videos like this of the process, the studio banter, the production, my favourite kind of video
god i need to know how to edit video with music like this, andrew should totally make a indepth video on how he does his editing with syncing up the footage and music
It's insane to me to think that you 2 are still so young and still keep learning SO MANY INSTRUMENTS. Like, in my Head Andrew, you're like a god of synths, and then you just go absolutely ham on Guitar as well... It's nuts! Love this show. One of the best on the Internet right now for SURE
I feel Andrew is paving a new path for musicians.
What a great first season. I’ve been watching you, Andrew, ever since the “songs to wear pants to days”. One of my favorite songs to date has been your song “water.” But I’ve got to say that this most recent era of your creative journey from your travels through space and time to sonic boom has been my favorite to watch. That being said. I would love another “we are what you tweet” with Gunnarola.
Thanks so much for sticking around!! So much more to come :)
This is like the soundtrack of my teenage years haha!
Oh my goodness, this was an absolutely amazing song - without hesitation I'd say it's the best I've heard from you guys.
Got so many great Coheed and Cambria vibes among other things - unbelievable work.
You've been amazing together throughout this series, but these last couple episodes have shown how much you've grown together as a very real band/compositional force.
This song really needs to become big. Like for real.
Some of the riffs and the sound reminds me of The Smashing Pumpkins. I like it.
The end track is so well produced
weird reference, but the trippy instrumental parts before verses reminds me of the shadow temple music from zelda ocarina of time
watching the whole series sonic boom videos has been an absolute joy. there's nothing more fun than seeing you guys just havign fun and creating together. im so hyped to see more.
This has a Porcupine Tree vibe to it, I dig it!
Especially the chromatic lines in the guitar + heavy feel (and wire-y sound)!
Edit: The Blind House (The Incident album) mixed with Steven's newer punk-ish stuff (To The Bone era)
Wow, I thought I was the only one hearing some PT vibes!
Amazing season, sonic boom has been my favourite project you guys have done
i think for the verse you were thinking of Go With The Flow by Queens of the Stoneage
Thats it. I was getting that in the verse. 100%
this show is so incredible, love watching you and rob just make art and enjoy each others company , absolutely cant wait for season 2
I don't know why but the verse reminded me of 505 by Arctic Monkeys
I love this channel so much and I'm and really glad it exists.
How does Andrew Huang not age?
He is almost 40, and that's incredible. He always looks like 20.
This almost always happens with oriental descendants.
In Canada entertainers that reach a certain level of talent are given a treatment that stops the aging process. Andrew reached it very young.
@@maykondouglas2001holy shit, need his skincare regimen
Haven't watched you in years, glad to see you never let your hearing loss problems stop you from doing what you do
