Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[benton netty]

So he couldn't have recorded two songs?? No waaaaay!!

I didn't say that at all, did I? I'm just saying that it is the same recording, only manipulated and retouched and reedited.

[dimejinky99]

Yeah ok. I'm just not hearing that is all.

[Jorge]

Honestly, I hadn't even considered the possibility that the original recording was varispeeded. If this is the case, I may have been 100% wrong in the last few pages.

[dimejinky99]

It would make sense, given the way red dot slows down just before the vocals kick in.

[Jorge]

I just listened to them both and I remain unconvinced. For as much as can be changed, dubbed, sliced up and stitched together, the performance and mic'ing seem to be fairly different. And I can't find anywhere where Jack has alluded to it as a version of Red Dot. If anything, he seems to refer to it as its own separate entity.

I feel like I have retroactively regained my virginity over the course of this debate.

[harmless]

Let's rank the futility of RM debates.

[dimejinky99]

I'm not sure if I'd own that crown or whoever it was arguing with me would?

Jorge, I think they're two totally separate tracks. He's a percussionist. He's bound to have tons of them

There is a listening session in Berlin at the Ramones museum on September 3rd. We will be going to the one in Amsterdam the day after. Brendan O'Brien will be there as well, so it should be good. Besides Mirella and me, there will be two other PJ fans as well. The rest will be around 50 people from the music industry, journalists, etc.

For Berlin you can enter a lottery on the Facebook page of the Ramones Museum:

Ten people will be drawn from the entries tomorrow.
