Birds in Hell wrote:Okay, I'm listening to the song again.

That's no "siren" at the beginning, to my ears, it's a delayed electric guitar.

I still don't hear the strings or keys, just Mike playing some pretty effected lead guitar.

The way you can hear Matt's snare and cymbals ring out, I'm certain it's being performed live, not a playback.
I'm about 10 pages behind in this discussion, so sorry for the rehash. . .

I heard the soundcheck song for the first time last night and I don't hear a siren. To me it sounds like a one note organ intro.

I really like the Zeppelin vibe it has and the abrupt Queens of the Stone Age type stops. A song like this could redeem the pure cheesiness of Future Days.

This is also the first song I've heard from the modern incarnation of the band that reminds me of the Vs. Vitalogy era. I wonder if they would ever revisit unfinished songs from that time, or if they would see it as too nostalgic. For example, Mike had mentioned some song called "Indian Beetles" that I figured would show up on the Vs/Vitalogy Box Set, but never did.

For the record, when I said there was a siren at the beginning I didn't mean necessarily a real one. Whether or not it's a guitar / organ effect, I thought (and still think) it reminds me of a WWII air raid siren. It may or may not be an effect they were going for but we'll see.

The first time that an electronic press kit was more enjoyable than the album it was promoting.
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.
