_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ _ Yeah buddy, _ [F] _ [C#m] _
KXM2.
[C#] Look at that, _ Drum Tech [D#] Chardonnay.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
This is broken, [D#m] it's got a bunch of holes in it.
Can't use [D#] this one. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] [G#] We should ride on that in the chorus, that'd be [A#] good.
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [D#] _ _ _ [G#] _ A fan of mine, who owns a drum company [A#] overseas, said,
let me make you a snare drum, [G#] I'm gonna tune that [A] down.
In the studio with snare drums, you have to try [Em] a ton of different snares.
So it's [C#] definitely a contender.
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] [D] Oh man, they're back.
_ _ [G#m] Which _ [C#] one am [D#] I, Max?
[A] We found out that when we get in the [G] studio, like we did on the first record,
everything [A] just goes like this.
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _
Writing new [A] KXM songs.
_ [D] _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
Okay, no preconceived [E] ideas, Ray.
We got to Steakhouse [C#] Studios, [D#] where we're at today,
we wanted to do [A#] the same format we did on the first record.
No one comes in [G] with a riff, [E] like, hey guys, I got this song, I [D#m] got this, I [G#] got_
No, if [A#m] anyone would say that, we'd literally [E] start from scratch and go,
no, let's do something else.
Ray comes up with so [G] many different things on his drums
that [F] I can find a bass line or I can find a melody line,
and what he does is very easy to work with.
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Breakout started [Fm] with me and Chris getting drum cones,
and going around the kit, and I hit my little side snare,
and I was doing this little buzz kind of [G#] roll thing with the hi-hats,
[G#m] and I started playing a beat with that buzz roll on the sides there,
[C#] and that's the intro you hear on Breakout.
George starts stepping on pedals and messing with a riff,
he goes, keep playing that beat, keep playing it.
And that was 100% me messing around. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B]
That fast for vocal, chord opens up, Doug keeps playing the same part.
[G] You don't want the chords to stay [N] open, you want it to go back to the riff.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Because it grooves [G#m] so hard. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ [D] It's really a [A#] special thing for a musician
_ to experience _ that kind of creative process _
rather than the traditional process,
which is you spend months in pre-production,
and you go in to record the record
_ with a producer and an engineer in a studio,
and you know what you're going to do,
and it's just the process of [A] _ [G#] recreating the creative process.
[E] [G#m] But what was very unique about KXM [G#] is
there was no recreative process.
The process was the creative process,
and we captured the [C#] creative moment.
_ _ I _ _ [A] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#m] love that!
[C#] _
Hey _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ [A] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ guys, how [G] about tomorrow?
We were adventurous [N] on this record for some reason.
I remember when we were putting the parts together
and we're going can we sing on this, can we make a melody out of this,
is this too many parts?
_ There was no rules, you know,
we just decided to _ throw in the kitchen sink and see what [C#] came out.
By 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, boom,
it would just come together, we'd have an arrangement,
and we'd be tracking live drums at 6pm,
which is mind-blowing sometimes.
_ For most people that's absurd, for most musicians,
because the record's so permanent, that's it, it lives on forever.
We're all dead and gone, these records live on.
It's kind of crazy to think [G#] that.
[C#] _ _ _ _
So [F#m] Breakout really [F] is, I think,
[F#m] the connection [C#] between this record and the last record.
To me it's a very [E] [C#] typical-sounding KXM [F#m] song,
but to me it's [F] definitely us, [N] it's got elements of each one of us.
It's all about emotion to me,
whatever I'm going through I like to sing about it, [C#] and I can.
Then one day you [A] go _ _ _
I'll [F#] run to [C#] my [A] past
Love is just [C#] a _ _ _
_ [A] window [F#m] sill
_ _ [F#] _
[C#] Makes it [E] right
_ _ [D] _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
None _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
of that was in the break beat. _ _
_ _ Did you get that on tape?
No, seriously,
