Speed Kills Fav Version

yeah it's a poll

Rickpat12 · 06-01-2009, 06:50 PM

2008 20th anniversary tour version. So I guess put me down for Machina. It was one of my favorite moments during those shows. The ending is phenomenal.

Skradgee · 06-01-2009, 09:00 PM

Machina II version sucks compared to the proper studio recording...although i can see why some people might like it since it's louder

redbull · 06-01-2009, 09:01 PM

b0lly solo

Corganist · 06-01-2009, 10:40 PM

April 1999 version.

Thaniel Buckner · 06-01-2009, 10:47 PM

machina ii is doomtastic. even with the keyboards.

cjs42079 · 06-02-2009, 07:47 AM

Machina Acoustic Demos - the 13 remaster (yes I know people hate that stuff)

Shallowed · 06-02-2009, 08:08 AM

I've only heard the Machina 1 version once or twice, I can't remember what it's like other than the vocal intro visionary of Bleeding the Orchid

Martyr · 06-02-2009, 08:14 AM

Machina II by a log way.

Shallowed · 06-02-2009, 08:20 AM

Just listened to M1 version on YouTube. Quite nice and spacey and dreamy. I'll still lean towards M2 for it's harder, less graceful, more grated performance.

Slygmous · 06-02-2009, 08:57 AM

I enjoy all of them.

Even though the other version is still very cool. Another great song that BC left out of a standard album release... He is really good doing that

I appreciate you not pointing out my spelling mistake.

redbreegull · 06-02-2009, 10:47 AM

The Machina II version is fucking brutal. The lead guitar makes it.

Yeah I'll go with the MAD demos too. Or the acoustic solo live version.

RenewRevive · 06-02-2009, 03:53 PM

not heard anything as good as the arising! tour version, but machina II version is the closest. the album/SIYL version, is pretty meh.

slunken · 06-02-2009, 04:48 PM

machina II for the nostalgia. definitely in my top 5 list of songs.

i remember actually buying a bootleg of the 1999-04-14 show on ebay, shortly after it occured, when that sort of thing really wasn't controlled yet. i mean hey, if yr willing to pay...

...but speed kills really really did it for me. so much beauty in that song. i like the line "we can groove at the speed of light". while a theme such as last rose of summer etc really isn't that groundbreaking, the song has a maturity and reverence about it that i can dig. i think it was performed beautifully.

machina II version solidified that smoothness, IMO. it really takes me back to a certain time and place/wormhole effect. acoustic demo is pretty great too.

Funky_Gibbon · 06-03-2009, 03:27 PM

The Pittsburgh Arising Tour version for me. Not the best recording of it I'm sure but I love that particular version.

russian iha · 06-03-2009, 03:47 PM

M1 version really nailed it for me. I remember listening to SIYL single for the first time and feeling as if I am levitating or something. Don't know why did this song hit me so hard.

trev · 06-04-2009, 07:25 PM

i remember the last time this poll happened the soft version won. good to see the rockin version is getting the cred due finally.

Panthalassa · 06-04-2009, 08:09 PM

Machina version all the way, should have been on the (US) album.

It's more of that guitar solo that's like screaming to the heavens rather than the hardness that does it for me.

Or something.

Yes. The intro is especially good.

dustrock · 06-05-2009, 02:48 PM

Love the drum sound on M2 as well.

I thought the 20th Anniversary 1.0 version was extremely well done as well.

well well well

pumpkingrrrl · 06-11-2009, 01:59 PM

Speed Kills is one of my favorite songs from the Machina era. The Machina version is better, imo.

Springbridge · 06-11-2009, 07:36 PM

I liked the version of Speed Kills released as a bonus track on the Japanese Machina II. That one should be in the poll.

You Said · 06-12-2009, 01:12 AM

what ever one has the guitar whale like sounds.

Gish08 · 06-12-2009, 07:53 AM

Machina 2 ver should have been a single.
