"better", and Boston "smoking" (new kick-ass keyboard effect)

[nesquik]

I don't know if you have noticed that aswell, but during the heavy part of "better", you can hear a new kick ass keyboard effect in the mix, I believe it's something coming from Chris Pittman. It's not on the demo, it's new, it's on some Live versions, and it really really sounds awesome. It sounds a little bit like a part of the song "smoking" from Boston.
You can hear it here (from 1:55 to 2:18) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0CYmhI_Zvk

Listen carrefully and you will hear it. I heard that same keyboard effect on the MSG'06 version on Youtube.
I hope they will keep it on the album. It sounds like.. I don't know... like Ennio Morricone or something. the sound is like "hiihaaaa".

Can you hear it aswell?

[Journeyman]

yeah, i can hear it. its bad ass!!

[Disco Volante]

Ennio Moricone

[nesquik]

yeah, definitely

[polluxlm]

Pitmans increasing importance gains followers every day.

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

That keyboard effect is in the demo, its just way in the background. I've heard it a long time ago. You can hear it good when you listen with headphones. 

[PJ]

is in the demo..
with headphones youy can hear it very well

[Sparksry]

I think i know what ur talking about.... In the You tube version of Black Sheep Harley Davidson The better soundtrack sound amazing I dont know if its a newer version or a more pumped up one but its definitly stronger in vocals

[ElChino]

I WISH THEY'D RESTORE THE KEYBOARD EFFECT 2 THE BEGINNING OF 'CHINESE DEMOCRACY'

Chris "Mother Goose" Pitman, bitches!!!!   

Just wait until you hear the finished album.  There's gonna be a whole lot of converts to the Church of Pit!

[nesquik]

well, the guy worked with Tool, so he is obviously talented. I guess he is more a studio guy than a Live guy. Live, his sounds are lost in the mix most of the time, but I'm sure he can do a kick-ass job in studio.

[Voodoochild]

Yeah, it was always there. I heard this fx in almost every bootleg...

[dodger girl]

I heard this effect first in the RIR bootleg in may cuz the sound mix was so bad and all you could hear in Better was Pittman's keyboards hehee!

and then I realized it was always in the demo as well.. since then I always hear that effect.. you guys are lil bit slow haha

but yeah, I agree, it's an amazing effect!! love it

[grog mug]

Is there a way to download this anywhere?  Someone please help!!

Yeah, Rock In Rio 5...

I kept wondering, "Where have I heard this keyboard sound before?".

I finally came to the conclusion (imo) that it sounds similar to the keys on Paul McCartney's 'Band On The Run' live.? ?

So I don't know if we're talking about the same part...

[Mr. Nik™]

this can't be true....

nesquick writing "better" and "kick ass" in the same post?

no way.

[MotherGooseLuvR]

I can't believe Pitman isn't everyone's second favorite current Gunner!? The guy absolutely rocks his socks off every time they play!

Just wait until you hear the finished album.? You won't believe your ears.? Every time you listen you'll peel back another sonic layer - hear some new, whirley sound effect or beeping tone.? ?It's gonna be this century's Dark Side of the Moon!!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, do you people just throw around the word "hater" at anyone who doesn't agree with you? Dark Side of the Moon was so fucking amazing that even my love for GnR couldn't make me think that it would deserve that title. So sorry but take your witch hunt for haters somewhere else.

Thanks. I'll now consider myself a hater cause I don't think Better or the UNHEARD Chinese Democracy will be as good or this century's Dark Side of the Moon. Maybe if you listened to that album you would see how far up the ass of Guns N' Roses you are.  Can anyone else really compare fucking demos and live versions of a song to one of the best albums of rock history? When those said demos and live tracks aren't even the band's best work that we have heard. Oh I know tho but I am a hater so I have no idea what I'm talking about.

[HoldenCaulfield]

Yeah, the thing that sounds like a tin wheel spinning down the street? It's pretty cool. You can hear it pretty good in the RIR version, as well, if I remember...

[moonlightdrive21]

Love this song !!  Hope they give it a thick heavy riff when they mix the sound for the studio version.
