Fun what song are you listening to? (v. 47) - Embedded Video Heavy

This is a BTS look at the recording sessions for this song:



Produced by Rick Rubin's preferred recording engineer, Greg Fidelman, who engineered Death Magnetic.

New Metallica. Moth Into Flame

 

/\/\ That and the one from Days of Future Past with Quicksilver both tremendous.

edit:

Anthrax cover of Exit by U2. This is a great cover better than U2's The Joshua Tree album cut. Perhaps U2's own live version during the TJT tour is better but it's very close. These guys take that sketch of a song from the album and make it sound complete.

 

And now some information about classic Swedish culture:



"Carl Michael Bellman ( 4 February 1740 – 11 February 1795) was a Swedish poet, songwriter, composer and performer. Bellman is a central figure in the Swedish song tradition and remains a powerful influence in Swedish music, as well as in Scandinavian literature, to this day.

Bellman is best known for two collections of poems set to music, Fredman's songs (Fredmans sånger) and Fredman's epistles (Fredmans epistlar). Each consists of about 70 songs. The general theme is drinking, but the songs "most ingeniously" combine words and music to express feelings and moods ranging from humorous to elegiac, romantic to satirical.

Bellman's patrons included the King, Gustav III of Sweden, who called him the master improviser. Bellman has been compared to Shakespeare, Beethoven, Mozart, and Hogarth, but his gift, using elegantly rococo classical references in comic contrast to sordid drinking and prostitution, which are at once regretted and celebrated in song, is unique.

Bellman's songs continue to be performed and recorded by musicians from Scandinavia and in other languages including English, French, German, Italian and Russian. Several of his songs including Gubben Noak and Fjäriln vingad are known by heart by many Swedes."
