Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 1 hour ago, Dan G said: A related story that is interesting (to me at least) is of Brad Fiedel was composing the Terminator theme... He wrote the melody by improvising over a percussion loop he'd recorded, but hadn't realised that he had stopped the end of the sequence a bit early. As a result, the bars are an awkward 13/16 time signature. But it's one of the best themes ever, so happy accidents and all that. And all whilst recording the most consecutive appearances in the English Premier League. Impressive. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how it happened. I was supposed to fix it by shifting the vocal overdub backwards/forwards 4 beats, but I don't think I ever did... We were lucky with Geller that the whole thing stayed perfectly in time despite glitching ahead and deleting 4 beats, otherwise we'd had have to have scrapped the whole take, and that was probably our best song IMO.

Hog Posted August 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Folk still talking about St Anger. I personally hate the production. It does have a few decent moments but there are also some real facepalm moments too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as mistakes go, in Saturn's Children by Electric Wizard one of the guitarists rolls up the volume on their guitar a bar too early and turns it back down again in the last chorus.

Hog Posted August 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Very true Cabbage. The lyrics are horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabbage Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I always imagined that song was the result of the record label stepping in and being like "sakes guys, another song about Satan, how's about you write something original?" Couple of dabs of tipex on the lyric sheet, fuckin sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I may be wrong but I think Lars wrote some of the lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest E.C Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 There is of course *that* piano chord at the start of 'Roxanne' followed by Sting's larf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
