Production errors / glitches / mistakes

[Birds in Hell]

That's certainly an idiosyncratic take on that song, dime.

[dimejinky99]

It probably doesn’t fall under the premise of the thread but the song does sound like it’s falling apart at a few points. It’s always bugged me.

Black dog by led zeppelin. The drumming is all over the place and loses the band at several points. Or perhaps it’s the band losing time with the drumming.

That’s one of the most intricately timed songs in their catalogue. There’s not a thing wrong with it.

Yep. It’s hard to think of a more tightly composed and performed rock song, honestly.

Nobody knows the parts I’m talking about?

[Strat]

Never noticed that flub on Born In The USA. I AL’d when I heard that, thanks LV

Honestly does not sound like a mistake to me. Just sounds like a wild fill that resolves itself nicely.

A fill? The keyboard line doesn’t change though. It just sounds like he hit a wrong key and it created a moment of discord.

[Blaine Ryan]

Might be a little obvious but I like that they kept Ed's laugh in "Life Wasted." I think it adds a little, er, life to the song.

[Blaine Ryan]

What I'm gathering from this is that I really like when musicians laugh at their own material.

The 1234,sorry,1234 intro in Brain of J is a favorite of mine

[Jorge]

I think that's intentional

[VinylGuy]

Maybe? Who knows. It’s still pretty cool.

[Jorge]

The reason I think it's intentional / a joke is because it makes no practical sense for Mike to do a rapidfire ONETWOTHREEFOURONETWOTHREEFOUR, especially if he is the one starting the song off by himself. I also think it's cool though

The intention behind that part of the recording was to get people talking. And here we are like 35 years later on a loosely-Pearl-Jam-based message board and it finally paid off.

Yeah who knows. It might be a error from another sessions and the band edited it before brain of j too I don’t know but it works
I loved when they did those kind of stuff

[dimejinky99]

If it’s leftcon the record is it really a mistake?
Pretty sure there’s a few of these instances on Early Who stuff

[dimejinky99]

theres one about the sax on Baker st being in totally the wrong key but they decided it sounded better than the written music so they left it

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

At 3:00 - 3:01 in The Zephyr Song by RHCP, there’s a glitch on Anthony’s voice as he sings the word “all.”

[Blaine Ryan]

There's a noticeably out of tune guitar in Dylan's "Queen Jane Approximately."

[Strat]

There's a noticeably out of tune guitar in all of Dylan's records made in the 60's."
