Rush O))) - "Working Man" screwed down to doom/sludge/stoner speed!

OMG

I have a 45rpm 12" of Number of the Beast that sounds crushing on 33rpm. Bruce sounds like a man on that. I think the key here is to slow down bands with really high pitched singers.

I played the Butthole Surfers PCPPEP at 33 for a good long while before I realized it was supposed to be on 45. Hadn't heard anything else by them at that point so had no idea it was wrong. It sounds heavy and evil as fuck.

Still do it every once in a while just for the memories.

i put this on the ipod today. Driving around playing on shuffle, it comes up. The next song is "Big Church" from Monoliths and Dimensions, and I haven't stopped grinning since :)

A friend used to listen to a 45 of Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog" on 33 when he was a kid and was heartbroken when he first heard it on the radio at normal speed.

I did this too with my wife's copy, pretty terrifying.

My girlfriend, a former WCBN dj, swears that the 12" of Holiday by Madonna sounds like Violator-era Depeche Mode when played at 33.

I accidentally played a whole side of Alice Coltrane's Universal Consciousness on 45... sounded great-- extra celestial.

the Rush is really nice! how long til a band now covers it at that tempo? I know I would

xpost - Matt you married well.

lol @ extra celestial

man the last 30 seconds of this before the cymbal crashes could be looped forever.

yo yo yo you need to get a copy of the nazareth record where they cover "ballad of hollis brown" by dylan that is TOTES proto stoner/doom metal! it's fuckin nuts!!!!!!

hahahaha this is awesome.

"ballad of hollis brown" in all 9 minutes of sludgy glory

Wow thanks for sharing that. Looks like I'll be purchasing a copy of Loud N Proud very soon.

whoa. could the rest of the nazareth album be anything like that at all?

That is awesome! Definitely never heard that before. Thanks!

This sounds pretty killer.

On the flip side, Aerosmith's "Nobody's Fault" is a killer thrash metal song if you play the LP at 45.

Give it a shot.

Mother sounds killer sped up too.

It's like AC/DC with some Minutemen rhythms.

Ha!

the rest of that Nazareth album is not in the same vein as "Hollis Brown"...it's good, just not the same...

I've made a thrash edit of Nobody's Fault if someone has a place to post it up.

This should work if you want to check it out.

I got it up to 45 speed then worked on tuning it back down and got it a bit further down than the original track, but I kind of liked it this way.

black flag @ -300 RPMs

This guy Mr. Wonka (a friend of Rammellzee) screwed and chopped all sorts of metal and classic rock from Mountain to Mastodon five years ago (at least three CD-Rs worth); I wrote about it here (scroll down):

tbh one of my favorites of the genre is our own.milton parker's repitching of "running away"

That one's still on my ipod

for those that missed it, here's "running away" as no-wave hoedown

love it

i still haven't listened to this but the excitement over it is weird to me -- "Working Man" is a transparent Zep rip and a lot of contemporary sludgy metal bands are just slowed down Zep, this can't be a revelation to anyone can it?

when something sounds good people get excited

it's a mystery

where's the gremlin

I've never liked Rush much, but hearing Geddy pitched down out of the dogwhistle range, I'm amazed by how much I like his phrasing.

it just plain sounds good, Al! try it.

yeah hopefully when i get home today i will remember listen

remember TO listen

Thanks Edward for the running reup - lost Arthur Russell tune, awesome

Not really repitched but I love phasing two copies of this for hours: h*tp://www.qotile.net/files/mtaf.mp3

I decided to play around and did shameful things to "Crazy Horses"

screwd rush is so melvins :/

Another one - I have work to do, but can't help myself - The Stooges get all Loop/Spacemen 3 on us:

I'm in. Screwing in the other direction. Muddy Waters uptempo'd and reverbed into a shit-fi band:

whoops.

Here it is: Shit-fi Waters

^

sounds like Uncanny Soup-era Denny Vertigo

just the best

agreed. it gets in my head often, more so even than the "clow ser to the heaart" shriek.

Wow, that works pretty well!

yeah it frequently pops up in my head too

Okay, this is great:
