Thunder and Consolation

[Whirlwind]

I was trying to think earlier of other examples where studio chatter could be heard during recording and not only heard, but adopted as an intro to a song on an album?

In my very narrow musical taste, the only thing i could think of...... (i was thinking for no more than a minute by the way) was The Clash and Card Cheat......(im sure Whirlwind will correct me here), but doesnt Joe Strummer say "not right start all over again"

.
Right band, wrong song. It was The Clash, but the song is "Wrong 'Em Boyo."


Early Elvis has a song where he stops it, talks to the band, and then restarts the song: "Milkcow Blues Boogie"

There are a million songs that have "1-2-3-4" count ins. Technically that is studio chatter.

Hey Whirlwind,

I knew you were a big Clash fan so thanks for the correction.

Can i just say one thing (which is probably gonna get me in a whole heap of trouble) - dont ever disrepect my friends on here again .. just dont do it. You know what im on about. Joke or no joke - dont be prick all the time.

Regards

Matt

Sounds more like "I don't know, maybe I should come and listen" to me. That's also more likely if in a recording studio.

Almost right, it's "I don't know, maybe I should come in and listen".

He was in the studio and wasn't sure whether what he was doing was working, so he came into the control room to listen. It did, and we kept it. Sawmills '87 if memory serves.

Cheers for that Moose ! 
At least that's cleared up that little debate. And nice to know my ears are still working, even if I couldn't quite discern the "in".
