GeddyLeeFender Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) QUOTE Song: The Main Monkey Business Desc: That cool drum riff Neil plays (sry my descriptions of music suck).. BUT - do you hear Geddy's base? Check it out. It's awesome! Time: 1:20 Yea its Geddy doing a little slide i believe or maybe hes just doing 2 low notes and bending. Edited May 8, 2007 by GeddyLeeFender
Gompers Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 I think its cool how Ged almost sounds like he is loosing his voice in a couple songs. I think Good News First is the most obvious.

To me it's obvious, but I wonder how many people know exactly what Geddy is singing at that moment, and what drum roll Neil is playing. Alex is also rocking in time. Edited May 9, 2007 by paganoman
Pags Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 Song: Spindrift Description: As the song is slowly fading up, I hear something I can't identify. It sounds like someone is talking, but I can't tell for sure. I think this is a job for MITA! Time: 0:07 Anyone else hear that?

invisibleairwaves Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Song: Armor And Sword Specific description of sound: Guitar harmonics Time: It's most obvious in the intro at 00:28, but it's in the chorus as well. It got me hooked on A&S from the first listen, and bits like this kept me listening: Song: Armor And Sword Specific description of sound: Geddy singing "A refuge for the coming night" beautifully Time: 4:44 I also love the lines beginning with 'Confused alarms of struggle and flight"...the music works with that part so well. Definitely among my favourite vocal 'moments' on the album.
Rolinda Bonz Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 QUOTE (Screvato @ May 3 2007, 01:28 PM)I like the sliding bass line in Armor & Sword at 3:59. It's like we're being taken into a lower, darker level of the song. A nice build-up to the solo. dood! i came here to post that, but you beat me to it. that is fuggin sweet!

Pags Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 OK I've got another one for Spindrift: Description: As Geddy sings the opening line "... on the western shore", listen CAREFULLY to the word 'shore'. It sounds like there's another voice (Geddy of course) softly growling the 'r' sound of the word 'shore'. Time: 0:45. It's there. Listen hard.

To me it's obvious, but I wonder how many people know exactly what Geddy is singing at that moment, and what drum roll Neil is playing. Alex is also rocking in time. I am almost positive that Neil is in the midst of one of his YYZ mini-solos!! That would be my guess for sure!
MaxSmart Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 I didn't go through the thread to check if anyone mentioned it already. On Armor and Sword at 4:14 and a couple of other places Neil hits something that sounds just like a sound on ( I believe YYZ) Moving Pictures. Plywood maybe? I remember that on the credits for MP.

Damn...sorry I didn't see the response sooner. Does this forum have a auto respond forward? I sure could use it. I get lost too easy here. Anyway....Yeah they are cool. Someone on another forum was bored one day and made them and offered them up. Edited May 13, 2007 by Gompers
Dave @Lakeside Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 At 1:18 of Main Monkey Business, after Alex plays the descending opening acoustic part again, a deep floor tom strike was given a little more depth by an engineer. It's a terrific "boom" that help's tie the song together so nicely.
daveyt Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 the way the wind blows: when geddy hits the P in "count their sheeeeeeeep" he really sprays it

I remember that on the credits for MP. check out geddy @ 4:53 with his "broom" "brooom!" slides & then then the subsequent bass lines till 5:05. then neil with his ride @ 5:57, and his subsequesnt **** etc. great tune. alex' use of harmonics is fresh as usuall.
PuppetKing2112 Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Three come to mind: 3:00 into Bravest Face, the tone Alex has on his solo is very Mark Knopfleresque The verses of Good News First, some cool Edge-like effects from Alex. And my favorite: Geddy's brief falsetto in TWTWB, "we can only bow to the here and NOWWWWW" Love it.
Tick Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) i cant remember which tune(ill have to listen for it again) but in one of the tracks you can hear the sound a phone left off the hook, you can hear that annoying beeping sound in the background. does anyone know what im talking about ? its there, trust me. edited to say... i just realized the title of the thread is great sounds in snakes and arrows, not annoying ones.
