We will tell you some secrets that you likely never knew existed. They will not change your attitude nor to the compositions or to their players, but it will make listening more interesting.
This is known throughout the composition originally had a somewhat different title — "Daddy, don't naklyunulsya for Christmas" (Daddy Don't Get Drunk on Christmas Day).
During the concert, "Unplugged" Nirvana, Kurt Cobain sang a very beautiful tribute to "The Man Who Sold The World" Bowie. The concert with this song was released before the death of Cobain and quickly became legendary.
Bowie has admitted that its annoying that its all the time praised for the performance of this song. According to rock stars, teenagers say, "Cool, what are you singing a song of Nirvana" and in response you really want to send them.
It is known that the guitarist Jonny Greenwood did not like this song and he made an attempt to ruin her record. At the beginning of the song you can hear the muffled strokes on the guitar strings, which many consider the original intent of the rockers.
In fact, these sounds are published on your tool Greenwood, just out of spite. So they suddenly came to the spirit of story songs that they decided to leave in the final recording.
The famous song starts with busting open the first, second, third and sixth strings. It wasn't planned — James Hetfield, writing the introduction, was distracted by a phone conversation and he had only one arm. In the end what happened, he liked it and the song went down in history with such a beginning.
The radio station KLSK-FM is one of the most popular in the city of Albuquerque, new Mexico, USA, in January 1995 changed the broadcast format and its owners decided to celebrate this event with something memorable. The result was declared a day-long marathon of playing the song "Stairway to heaven". It so happened that the song was aired more than 200 times in a row that has caused a wave of angry phone calls and abusive letters.
The building of the radio station twice called the police. The first time someone called 911 and reported that the DJ KLSK-FM heart attack, and the second time someone had told the Manager that the radio station was seized by terrorists from Iraq, to no end to listen to your favorite Saddam Led Zeppelin. The cops had to check and this absurd challenge.
This song, which many consider the most famous in the world, written by American composer based on the Ukrainian folk song "Oh, go to sleep Kolo vikon". This song Gershwin heard at the concert of the Ukrainian National Choir, under the direction of Alexander Koshits, in new York. Summertime, went into the Opera "Porgy and Bess" and made its author famous all over the world.
It turns out, Teen Spirit is a name popular in the United States in the ' 90s deodorant, manufactured by "Mennen". The words "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit" once appeared on one of the walls of the house Kurt Cobain — it was written by a friend of the musician Kathleen Khan. Rocker liked the phrase — it is considered that the proposal is a hidden meaning. Because of this, Cobain and put it in a song that has become a legend.
The incredible popularity of the deodorant has affected the fate of the company — "Mennen" was so successful that it was bought out by Colgate-Palmolive. By the way, the deodorant Teen Spirit is available until now in the production line of Lady Speed Stick.
For those who knows the English language, the words of the chorus "We don't need no education" sound strange for two reasons. First, they contain a double negative, and in the English language in the proposal allowed only one. Sometimes this technique is used to enhance meaning, for example, as in the case of "I can't get no satisfaction", but that he does not cease to be a gross mistake.
Some believe that this error is intentional, as in the song "The Wall" Pink Floyd, stating that the school does not teach children, but only makes them submissive animals. It is likely that the mistake was made in order to emphasize the low level of knowledge, which provided a modern education.
About this song John Lennon said that it was opposed to many things such as religion, capitalism, prejudice and nationalism. But due to the fact that she was cast as "candy" shell, no one is outraged.
This song reflected a real and not too pleasant events group in the Swiss city of Montreux. In one of the studios of the city, located on the shores of lake Geneva, the musicians of Deep Purple planned to record their new album.
But just before their arrival there took place a concert of Frank Zappa and the fans of the musician accidentally set fire to the building, which burned to the ground along with the recording room. The song describes the torment of finding a new place to record the album.
In the song, is known for his ambiguous "I hope the Russians love their children too", the author used the melody of the song taken from the Suite Sergei Prokofiev's "Lieutenant kije." Sting himself admitted that to steal a piece of classic works was a very bold idea, but in context it works.
Later, in 1993, sting took part in the voice acting of the TV series "Peter and the wolf", which was based on the Prokofiev Symphony. Therefore, we can say that the musician still paid the debt for borrowed passage.
This is a song the band recorded in one go, without duplicates, and even without installation. The Doors producer Paul Rothschild later admitted that she was shocked how there was a record. According to him, everything happened in the dark, only in the cabin, Jim was burning candle, and on the remote control several bulbs. On the Floor it made a big impression, and he called this recording the mystical. When the music ceased, all present were amazed, but the sound guy forgot to mute the microphone, which worked for some time.
During the same tour that took place in Italy, the band Muse put before the fact that they will play under a soundtrack. To protest, the musicians exchanged their instruments before the concert to "plywood" it has become clear to the audience. Drummer Dominic Howard is the bass guitar near the microphone, soloist Matthew Bellamy took his place at the drums, and bassist Chris Wostenholm took his place at a synthesizer, thus taking up the guitar.
In the song, which was incredibly popular, was also a catch. He lurked in the words carved on the palisade, as at that time Vologda was just one building with carved palisade and it was a regional dermatovenerologic dispensary. Because of this, the people never took this song seriously about the question "Where is my dark eyes where?" constantly joked.
The first chord of the song went down in history that cannot be repeated by any player. It seems that on the instrument at the same time burst all the strings. Decades later the secret of this sound revealed a Professor at a canadian University Dalhouse Jason brown.
Scholar not lazy and made on special equipment the exact spectrogram of a chord, which revealed the truth. It turned out that this frequency could not belong to any stringed instrument of the group. It turned out that the source of the unusual sound of the piano by George Martin. It is interesting in this story is that the Professor spent a lot of time on research, instead of asking what happened at Paul McCartney.
Did you know that there are also pictures of the stars of the rock scene that few have seen? They were made in the ' 70s, photographer Michael Puntland participated in many parties with celebrities.
