super speeding wouldnt change the tone/ note of the song no matter how fast or slow it was played .. a note or key is still the same ..so maybe they played it octaves higher and Bruce didnt like it?..I think it sounds good tis way
@bendover2006 depends on how it was done, most recording software has the option to time compress with or without changing the pitch, i think this track sounds good, judging by the sound of the other songs on this album, i would assume they went up only a half step though, not half an octave
mexican???...speak english????.......this is the WORLD WIDE web.....not the bulletin board at Billy-Bobs fried chicken and gasoline stand..... ANY fan of Bruce....or Maiden's is welcome here..... (especially single girls with a thing for beards...wink,wink.)
Bruce Dickinson trivia: This song also appears on the 2 disc version of the "best of bruce dickinson" album. If you listen to his "talking" track, he explains that when they mixed this song, they accidentally very-speeded it, and it came out about half an octave higher than it should have, and made bruce's vocals go very high (he describes it as if it sounds like someone's "Biting his nuts" while he sings)
Still a fantastic song, one of my favorite bruce tracks
@Scraeter idk did you mean half a step higher? cause half an octave would make the guitars sound like everything was played on the A string, and this track sounds like Eb or D, bruces voice would sound more like a chipmunk than it does here, unless this track was changed back to normal maybe?
@aezeon yup, i messed up. i meant to say half a step, accidentally said half an octave. whoops. Sorry, my mistake. if possible, i'll try to find the "talking" track i mentioned earlier (two years ago...wow) and post it as a reply.
@Scraeter The song "Flight of Icarus" was fixed one octave higher than the recording, so Bruce Dickinson has to get to that octave whenever they play it live. I think I read it in a book or saw it in one of their documentaries once.. maybe their Number of the Beast documentary. It's not on wikipedia so... I can't really link it to you. Sorry.
@omarmusictube If the vocals were half step higher, the instruments would have to be as well, or the pitch difference would make you vomit when you hear it. Flight of Icarus is tuned to F#m, and that's how they play it live!
@leandroprete Not unless the instruments and vocals are recorded separately. That technique is done often these days, and I'm fairly certain it was used in Number of the Beast. Agreed, I'm always learning something new about metal!
bruce is one of the most inspiring people on this planet :D

It sounds awesome at Chipmunk speed, but if it sounds like this was he trying to do a death metal track?

The chorus is very similiar to Machine Men. Yet different. Love the song though.
