R.I.P. To the one and only Ultimate Warrior!!!

really interesting pictures xD

I'm looking forward to the first single they are going to release from the new album

I didn't see anything relevant to the record/Nashville to add to the list but if anyone thinks something should be added let me know.

Nothing relevant to the recording of the new record or Nashville related was posted.

EARLY PREDICTION: The album will have a battle/combat theme

Out on a limb. There was the "Today I quit the US army" line, and there have been a couple instagram pictures with the phrase "Whose side are you on" in the caption

I might be totally wrong, but if I'm not, I'm gonna feel like the biggest badass on the forum

EDIT: in retrospect i think the whichever side you're on thing is just a Tiger Cuts thing, but my idea still stands

I can't wait till they tell us what it's gonna be called.

If anyone saw they posted on their facebook the IM websale and said they finished recording...

what?? already??

If you have a chance to get Andy Diamond more drunk than usual he might tell you

Debated adding these but I did say I would include out on the town stuff. I don't know when to consider the recording session/updates finished. They said in that IM post to celebrate the END of the recording. Keep going with these things until their out of Nashville? Or clarify more that it's complete?

See I don't know if they 100% meant they finished. I would have thought a bigger announcement would have happened ....

I'm wondering if they meant the main part of the album is done at this point. Maybe they still have the "extra" stuff left. Like back up vocals, extra sounds/effects etc. I thought there would be more tweets or grams from the guys saying their done. I guess I will only be satisfied when they've left Nashville

If I were guessing I'd say probably done with the recording. Still have mixing, mastering, picking a single, album artwork, getting label approval, etc...

Maybe. But wasn't handwritten recorded in Nashville and mixed in LA? They haven't left Nashville yet but I guess they could be done and their flight is soon. Or they decided to mix it there. I guess well just have to wait and see if anything else comes out of Nashville.

The guy named Facebook was, after all, their own FB page.  This is what it said:

"To celebrate the END of recording our new album, our friends at Infinite Merch are offering everyone 50% off of everything in the Gaslight store to the best fans in the world. YOU!  Just enter the code "TGASPRING2014" when checking out!"

Just shows who is actually runing their FB page.  TGA's online presence has always been a bit of a mess and it clearly still is.

always down for some trash can percussion #tomwaits

Haven't posted here for a longer time, my excuses for that. I'll try to be on the forum more regularly now.

Anyway, my excitement for the new album is growing day by day. Since there was this well-known statement, where they told the upcoming album would the "weird" one, I'm kinda beginning to worry a little. Because I'm starting to take this statement about creating something "weird" as the band trying to get into really different directions in order to gain new inspiration/creativity.

Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna stop their musical progress..I just wouldn't like to see the band getting lost in some style/sound using synthesizers or something that really doesn't fit them.   Has anyone of you guys ever had similar thoughts?

Their clear guitar sounds and the honest lyrics have always been what I loved the band for. I'd really hate to see the band losing these attributes. I mean, there's more than one band out there that tried to create "artificial creativity" by using stuff that didn't reflect their music.

But hopefully they'll proof me wrong with their new album
