Iron Maiden Killer, behind you. I'm still waiting for them to get Paul back in the band.

What the hell are you on? By far Bruce is the best! I have seen both Paul and Bruce live, and Bruce does a hell of a lot better job at it. Paul said he wanted Iron Maiden to be a punk band...how long would they have lasted then??

Originally posted by hitssquadBeethoven Ode to Joy, baby. It's amazing what Beethoven did without a Pro Tools system (that slap-echo effect in the Scherzo movement of the Choral symphony is impressive).

I know the movement well. What is it you're referring to as a "slap-echo effect"? I'm not familiar with that term.

Slap echo

It is echo with very short timing between the original signal and the delayed signal. Also, there are few delayed signals -- sometimes just one, but oftentimes two or three. Juice Newton used to use it. I think it used to be popular with early sixties rock and Country&Western to fill out the sound of the vocals on up-tempo tunes. IIRC the John Lennon used it on the early track Rock and Roll Music.

What Beethoven did to get the slap-echo effect was he had some instruments follow other intruments note-for-note very close behind in time. He does it during the quieter parts.

To hear slap-echo, stand a few dozen feet away from a cement wall and talk to it. Percussion will let you hear it. Try a classical or steel-string acoustic guitar, if you have one.

I'm wondering a few things here.

What made you think this is a 'review' of people's musical preferences?

What has Sting done to you that compelled you to be (mostly) nasty and negative about what he likes to listen to?

Do you plan on 'reviewing' everyone else's posts in like fashion? (Please don't. This is friends sharing music.)

What music defines me? None. I haven't purposely listened to music for about 3 or 4 years. I haven't noticed any adverse effects. I just don't feel the need anymore.

Yeah! How dare you be such an evil meanie? Boo on you, Chris! Can't you see that we're all holding hands and just loving each other? Don't you understand what being low-BFG is all about??

More importantly, I can't help but wonder what your opinion is of oldschool Metallica - you know, before their creative genius died in a bus accident and forced them to gradually mutate into Alternica?
