So, BND just had their comeback and their title track features a short trumpet section for the outro. Imagine my surprise when I learned that the sound was actually made by them and it wasn't an instrument! Boynextdoor has always put a lot of emphasis on their adlibbing and taken pride in it. I've honestly not seen many other groups take adlibs and vocal interjections so seriously. They have full blown discussions about it during practice and they are very meticulous about it. Sungho has mentioned how their practice takes much longer because of how they detailed they get about stuff like this. For me, bonedo are excellent live performers because they know how to build and maintain momentum through a song and I think their adlibs and vocal quirks play a huge part in it. Here are SOME examples! a. Another variation of the hollywood action outro where taesan switches to whistling in tandem, instead of joining the trumpet sound. b. Taesan's whistling during earth, wind and fire (lasts around 10 seconds from the point marked in the link). the second whistle wasn't on the og track but the addition is excellent. More! Examples! c. Jaehyun's uh-huh uh-huh adlib that somehow works incredibly well for the song, to the point that ewf sounds empty to me when he doesn't do it. Paired with taesan's whistle here, and it's such a high-energy listening experience. More! Examples! d. They had tons of interesting adlibs going on for their Lollapalooza stage but special shoutout to their 40 second intro for Earth, Wind and Fire and their 20 second intermittent hype-up before the last chorus hits in But Sometimes. They first did the But Sometimes one famously (within fandom atleast) all the way back in 2023, for their first MAMA stage. Alternate Lolla versions for both: EWF, But Sometimes. e. How they pull of this IISILY outro with Sungho and Riwoo going back and forth. f. Even for their See Through cover stage for their encore tour, they added a bunch of adlibs. Cannot link them all but I recommend watching their performance. Special shouout to Jaehyun's po-po-po-po-point. g. Bonus points for the MJ-ey-ey-ey-H! adlib because it's somehow such a earworm. They have so much more going on in their performances, these are just some instances off the top of my head. It's always so enjoayble to see them perform and they always strive to bring something new to the table. They also constantly develop their adlibs and improve them through a comeback circuit, so I'm excited to see what twists they bring to Hollywood Action going forward. That's all!! If you have more examples to share, feel free! Happy comeback, fellow onedoors! :)) submitted by /u/Mindless_musings [link] [comments]
