That sounds a bit 'off'

Hello everyone!

My 6 year old boy is mad for You Really Got Me by The Kinks at the moment, honestly I have listened to that song so many times over the last 2 weeks. One thing that gets on my nerves is the tambourine, to me it sounds 'out', really [i]really [/i]behind the beat. There are a couple of songs where my ears don't tune in to what's going on.

The sections of Black Dog that go down to E and have that odd almost out of time feel leading back up to the main riff have the same effect on me. At around 0.44

There is a solo (at 1.02) in the Guns N Roses version of Live and Let Die that sounds out to me too.

Now obviously I am no record producer, so sorry if I sound a little bit out of order in posting this.

Anyone else have a song that makes them feel like this? And no answers like 'the entire Rush back catalogue' please!

Or Carol Kaye.

Theres a status quo tune that when i listened to closely it sounded like the guitarists were playing dotted but the band were playing straight. Once I heard it I couldn't unhear it. It may just be me though cos I'm sure it was one of their big tunes. I'll try work out what one.

There's an arpeggiated keyboard bit in Blondie's "Atomic" where I am sure the chord changes half a bar too early.

Now this is what I'm talking about! I thought it was just me.

Also, I used to be a metal fan, the entire Helloween Walls of Jericho vocals are out of tune as I recall.

Old Macca drops a clanger about 3:01 in Let it be. He plays a wrong chord on the piano and quickly corrects it before anyone notices. Unfortunately, I did. :D

Kbd and bass not quite in sync at the end of the very first intro riff

The vocal on this one sounds ever so slightly off pitch to me.

I can't decide whether it actually is or whether I just don't like her voice.

I have the same thing with just about every Christina Aguilera track I've heard, when she goes for the big, powerful note she just sounds out to me.

I read an interview where the drummer Questlove was complaining that D'Angelo was asking him to play so far behind the beat that it sounded totally wrong to him.

Seems to be an effect that some people want on their records. The only thing that would bother me is bad playing and being out of tune. Which thankfully happens less these days.
