View Full Version : Another Billy!

I just got new earphones for my MP3 player and I swear I can hear a previously unheard Billy voice on Zeitgeist!

So far I'm only up to track 2, but I'm pretty sure 7SOB has at least one more Billy vocal than previously thought. He's singing a little more high pitched. I think previously this blended with the other background vocals.

I wonder what other secrets these earphones will reveal. And I though my old earphones were good! I only replaced them because the cord was too fucking short.

Peace.

you didn't buy magic earphones, perchance?

Holy shit, maybe I did!

I'll listen to Gish and see if the earphones make it sounds non-crap.

check out 'pennies.' there is a second vocal that comes in on the first 'especially when you go' at about :35 or so a little bit in the left channel. the next verse has both vocals- the harmony between them is amazing.

the there is another vocal in the right channel of 'youre all ive got tonight' that adds a little snarl to the vocal track.


check out the wah-wah guitar in 'tribute to johnny'



edit: there is also some awesome delay on billys voice in thirty-three

Equipment makes a difference in every aspect of the music experience... recording, editing and playback. Write this down kids.

I just bought new headphones yesterday too. I got really sick of having crap ones and now I can look forward to cranking mellon collie once I buy a replacement copy (Twiliight has been scratched to the point of being unplayable for almost half a year now, but I've finally got the itch back for that record).

you guys should try out the beyerdynmic dt 770s. they are amazing


well, you might not like them. they are reference phones- made to sound completely flat. consumer headphones and speakers are made to make things sound better.

you should try them anyway

I was just ripping images of MCIS before they got totally destroyed, and discovered that between two copies, I have an extra set of booklets, and one Dusk to Dawn and one Twilight to Starlight that are still in good shape. I thought all four discs were toast. Windfall.

Edit: OK I guess windfall would be all four discs and all four inserts in mint...

If you listen to the Machina version of Heavy Metal Machine with headphones, there's a drum mixing error that occurs just at the very end of (I think) the 2nd chorus.

Really only audible with headphones though.

I'll have to go back and check to get the timecode, but that will be a task which I will put off since I bloody hate that song.

i just realized machina is the only record with jimmys drums panned to drummers perspective. another reason it sucks

Four inserts for two copies of the album? Is that normal? All the copies I have seen and owned have only 1 booklet for the two discs (Australian version). Does the US version have separate booklets for each disc?

yup. a picture book with the credits at the end with the red disk and a lyrics book with the second disk

I was just looking at the picture book this morning at work. For some reason I thought it had more pics.

I'm going to see if I have a copy of Machina here at work so I can listen to HMM.

Edit: I do. Premasters.

*listening*

I'm having trouble deciding what's prechorus and what's chorus here. I think I missed that "end of the 2nd chorus" part you mentioned above the first time around.

OK here it comes.

I don't hear anything in the premasters. In fact... I think there is an error on the final... but I'd have to check that out later today when I get home. (Unless someone else plugs in and listens.

Check out TheCameraEye off the The Future Embrace album with headphones. You end up hearing like two more layers that you couldn't hear without the headphones, it's awesome.

Maybe people shouldn't rely on shitty computer speakers for playback.

There's these things called CD's that go into "CD Players." Wild huh?

Well they hook into these ancient machines... your mom and dad might have one... stereos is what they call them... they've got these big black boxes that come out like satellites, attached with wires... and the music comes out of them like magic... and... it actually sounds good.

That would be any speaker with wood grain plastered over the top of particle board. I've got two in the garage. Need a receiver though.

I haven't hooked up my stereo since I moved a few months ago. I listen to most music on my TV via a media center or on my Zune (the horror). I miss cranking up the Pumpkins, but I'm in an apartment now and can't make too much noise.

CDs are so 1990s, dude. I still buy them, but rip them straight away and never touch them again.

Another Billy? I think one Billy is more than enough Billy for anybody. Except for maybe Billy himself. He'd probably enjoy a few more Billys so they can perform sex acts on him and sit around and tell him how good Zeitgiest is

I just ripped my MCIS discs to image files for a backup. I don't buy them now... cuz I'm poor.

I was just thinking about cassettes yesterday.

Still easier to utilize than CD's when it comes to making mixes or your own recordings. Push play and record at the same time. Good to go.
