interpol52 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) 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. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTTsY-oz6Go[/media] 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 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiPl3rQZ6f0[/media] There is a solo (at 1.02) in the Guns N Roses version of Live and Let Die that sounds out to me too. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JjVPiDLdH4[/media] 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.

James Nada Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The vocals in the chorus of Beyonce's Crazy In Love. Some would call it "feel", I call it off the beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 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.

darkandrew Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 There's an arpeggiated keyboard bit in Blondie's "Atomic" where I am sure the chord changes half a bar too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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.

Hobbayne Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 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.

seashell Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 That is what I have always loved about Black Dog. So far behind the beat it's phenomenal Disclaimer: this opinion is from someone who may have had a few ales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The end part of Layla is, to my ears, an unbearable racket of out of tune wailing guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 What bothers me on You Really Got Me is the undampened drums boinging and the awful guitar solo. Still a great number though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbass Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Stevie Wonder 'Sir Duke' - listen to the differences in how the brass break is played. All the musos recorded their parts seperately, some swung it and some played it straight. A lot going on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Also Bowie 'Jean Genie' - first chorus, Trevor Bolder drops a clanger holding on to the verse chord for too long, before Bowie tells him to 'get back on it'. Love the way they left the vocal in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) The vocal on this one sounds ever so slightly off pitch to me. http://youtu.be/tXtATeQ7GKg 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.

chris_b Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 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.
