Alex Rudinger - Whitechapel - "MAKE IT BLEED"

- Awhile back, when I posted the last WC playthrough from 'KIN', I said something along the lines of "This is the last 'Chapel playthrough I'll be posting". WELL, I was wrong, because I recently found a few other songs that I (apparently) recorded videos for (LOL). I genuinely forgot that I had done them, & when searching through one of my many hard drives for something totally unrelated, I stumbled upon them - totally finished, just sitting there 😂😂. So here's "MAKE IT BLEED" from their Self-Titled album!
Upon finding this one, I remembered that part of the reason I never posted it was because I didn't reeeeeally love how it turned out. I don't think it's bad, but idk... I guess I just felt that I could've done it better, & planned on redoing it at some point. However, now that I'm not involved with them anymore, I have no intention of redoing it, so figured hey - what the heck! This song in particular was a fun one to play live (at least, considering it was on the 'faster' end of things, which usually stresses me out). But even with the speedy parts, I still always enjoyed it. Especially the ending - I really like that last drum break into the thrash beat, & that whole outro section. I was a big fan of the Self-Titled album in general (hence my VERY old cover of 'Section 8' - a song I covered many years before actually playing with them), so I think I just enjoyed playing their material from that era altogether.
I also saw the tour announcement recently with Whitechapel supporting Meshuggah - I know first hand how much those guys love Meshuggah, so I know how much that tour must mean to them, & how stoked they must be. Happy & stoked for them, too (truly!). Make sure to go check them out, I've no doubts it'll be an incredible show.
Anywayz - I hope you will enjoy this lil' THROWBACK! Got a couple newer videos to post as well, but figured I'd throw this one up first.

Oh &, I believe this was mixed for me by Simon Grove! When I stumbled upon it again recently, I couldn't quite remember, but thought "Hmm... doesn't sound like a Declan mix, Anup mix, OR Nolly mix...". Searched my email just to double check, & sure enough - mixed by Simon Grove! So thanks, dude! Bit late posting, but hey - better late than never! LOL!
All the shell mics were mounted internally (which you can see in the above angle). That's how Cagle (WC's FoH engineer) did things when I was with them, & since there wasn't too long until the next tour, he let me leave them in / temporarily take them home with me. Slightly different sound, but it's quite nice (!) - to not have the mic on the outside! Might have to try it again at some point.

Ben Harclerode does not get enough credit for how incredible his parts were over several Whitechapel albums. Miss that guy.
Was skeptical when he joined but yeah he's a monster. So diverse
Wish you were still playing with Whitechapel!!
I'm just glad he took the opportunity to tour with them. He was already good at playing Whitechapel songs, now he can play them even better. Which is nuts to be seeing right now. Lol
Same. You can hear the synergy in Kin with Rudi. I felt bad for a bit about it but looks like both parties are doing well.
@@sawblade37217 that's how I feel about olly Steele leaving Monuments.
Brandon is killing it with Whitechapel though, sounded extremely tight and smooth when I saw them live
@@AlexNourse52Most definitely! Rudi is always dope but Brandon is a bad ass! Also absolutely kills it with Enterprise Earth!!
I actually laughed out loud at several parts (because it was just that unbelievable). Rudi is sooooooo good. 🤘
I like that ! Rudi !
You can thank Ben Harclerode for this track’s unbelievable parts.
You know...in a drummer quartet card game, Alex is the forbidden card you're not allowed to play!
I just love watching him play ridiculous drumming parts so effortlessly.
What a beast!
The way you hit that note on the cymbal and leave your hand right above it right at 3:10 - 3:12 is oddly satisfying. Love your playthroughs. Keep being awesome.
The drums ben laid on this album are S tier. Awesome play through as usual.
100% confirmed, you are NOT human! Thanks man, awesome performance! 🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻
Even if it's not aliens, it's aliens.
🤟🤪👂💦🎶🥁🛸👽
@@Diverdjent Aliens! 👽👾
I can’t get over how someone can be so good. I think you’ve got to be a drummer to fully understand just how good this actually is 😭
One of the cleanest live players on the metal scene! I'll never forget the time I saw you live, I went to see Whitechapel in Romania and for my surprise you were playing with them, my day became 5 times better
Holy fuck, i completely forget about this song and how much i used to listen to it, was hours on a loop getting to work or back home listening this over and over again. Thanks for sharing Alex!
I can't get over how much I absolutely love this mans sound.
The album which blessed us with the introduction to Ben Harclerode. I miss his brutal compositions.
One of your best performances yet Alex! You’re so great at what you do bro. Love watching your vids man! 🥁
UM??? Stellar, sick, bad ass, amazing, every video never ceases to amaze me and inspire me🙌🏻🤘🏻🙌🏻
Fam, you are killing it!! You've gotten ridiculous good! Can't believe how clean this is!!

Could you (or anyone) elaborate further about those shell mics mounted internally?
"I didn't reeeeeally love how it turned out. I don't think it's bad, but idk... I guess I just felt that I could've done it better" dude there is room for a 0.0000001% improvement maybe, this is perfect
Crushing it! Who are you with now?
Very Good 💯👌👍👍👍🤘
MAN. you are going to make me buy a drum set at 31 years old. so fuckin solid!
🤘🥁🤘
Love it. PLEASE repost the Culturalist video!
Whoa.. crazy good. Im gonna go practice some more. RLRR LRLL lol
🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think we got out new metallica drummer right here🙂
Alex, I have a technical question: how do you sync up your audio to your video feeds? Is there a DAW out there that supports video feeds, or does it have to be post-prod? Thanks!
It's usually post-prod. Once the audio is mixed and done, you sync it up with the video files with a video editing software such as DaVinci Resolve for example
Best AI ever ;)
you're a god amongst men
