There’s a great headphone moment on Speechless about 2mins in, on Helmet’s Betty. Hamilton yells “shake it” at Stanier just as they’re smashing through a massive groovy breakdown. It comes through on the room mics. That album is recorded live.

Stanier indeed, shakes it.

Does Neil Young say "alright Wilson.........Pickett!!!" before the solo on The Losing End on Everybody Knows This is Nowhere?

I hope so. I've always thought that it was rad.

Gene Ween in Powder Blue “Ladies and gentlemen I’d like to introduce… Muhammad Ali”, provided you're listening to the version before Ali's killjoy estate told them to stop.

"Sing, Michael ,sing!" Joe to Mick in Rudy Can't Fail.

"Let's get loud" Jennifer Lopez, maybe.

I thought he said "SHIT"

Like he goofed and they left it in

Ronnie is actually telling the engineer to turn up the track in his headphones. They left it in because it sounded cool.

What a great clip, Robbie's the best. Lou Reed calls himself out too in this song:

Type O Negative's fake live album, "Origin of the Feces," has some great ones.

You’re likely right actually. I read an interview with Stanier in some drum magazine from 1994/95 and he talked about the recording process. He basically wrote his parts in the studio and they tracked live. There’s a bunch of mistakes all over the place and with headphones you can hear more less obvious vocal cues.

In a recent interview Stainer said the kick has a 808 kick triggered and mixed in.

A direction that then happens: "Turn the bloody blimey space invader off" at 1:28

Somebody should start a separate thread about that. as it is worthy of discussion and compiling a list.

Assuming it's possible that no one starts a separate thread for this, going to mention something obvious: BLUES EXPLOSION

Not seeing this made yet, so I'm adding Les Savy Fav's name placement in Scout's Honor, during the break that begins at 1:32 is superb




both songs demand full listens, really
