NMA Behind-the-scenes

[mudgeek]

Has New Model Army ever released a kind of "making of" from any studio recordings? To my knowledge I've never seen any of this.

There is the Wired Promo on Youtube. At least some sort of "behind the scenes".

BUMP!

For those floating here, interested, that might not know...

From what I understand / understood at the time, there was really meant to be a making of the album  'HIGH',  behind-the-scenes official video clip / recording.  Unfortunately, some fcukin' bastard  (or group of) broke into Mr. Dean White's place and stole his laptop.  It contained most of that precious footage.  Sadly, all that is left now, is that very video that's been uploaded to youtube.  The laptop was stolen before the video footage ever had a chance to be stored on some other type of hard drive / USB jump drive.  Who knows where the laptop is today, or what happened to it.  I dream that it will surface, but with every year that passes, my hopes grow slimmer.  Ohhh, I'm sure it was amazing footage. 

All I can say is, I really hope NMA did another one for the new album 'From Here'.  Only time will tell.  I sure hope they did, though... so many of us would find that kind of thing thrilling, interesting!

If a making of / behind-the-scenes type promo interests you also, please post a lone smiley in this thread?  If NMA haven't done one for 'From Here', perhaps they will keep it in mind for the album that follows.

Well,    that's all I know.

wWhaahOWw!    I just spent a stupefied, electrifying hour-plus, in h-e-a-v-e-n, drooling over  THIS  incredibly fascinating (to me, anyway) bit of NMA video footage!  Always dreamt of what goes on during a typical sound check.  I was under the impression that it only takes 30 minutes or so to actually do one, but this clip lasted more than double that!  Felt like a kid in a candy store while viewing this clip!  HUGE thank you to youtube's Marco Simonis for uploading this bit of true, vintage, NMA treasure = GOLD.  It made my night!  Cheers!

Man, what with that and the fire, NMA truly has to go down as one of the most unfortunate bands in history.

Yeah, know what you mean dude, it sure seems that way. 

Don't forget, NMA even had the bulk of their  touring gear stolen  one night before a gig, back in 2012 (Walsall, UK).  I'm not the superstitious type, but that makes three completely separate incidences.    Hopefully, that's the fcukin' last of the bad luck.  The fire was some accident, but the thefts, man, those people had to be complete and utter scum, low-lifes, to do something like that.  All that equipment made up the band's livelihood, bread and butter. 

I don't know how, but 'GOD' am I so thankful that the guys didn't let it stop or break them or the group apart.  The band managed to bounce back and have since prevailed - gone forward, without even flinching, wincing or batting an eye!  They are a mighty, mighty  STRONG  lot, these men, these musical soldiers... more so than they give themselves recognition and credit for.  Highly respect them, love them, treasure them.  More so now, due to their remarkable, commendable, impeccable resilience than ever before.  Kudos Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Dean, Mr. White, Mr. Gill, Mr. Monger... kudos.   xxxxx

Ok, there's definitely got to be at least some part of a memoir / book in here somewhere.  Wink, wink.  Nudge, nudge.  Ohhh, c'mon now.  Sure there is!
