Sean on backing vocals? o rly? - Forever Delayed

mooserevenge · #1 03-08-2008, 14:48

Hey everyone, I was just browsing Wiki (oh, almighty, all knowing!) and came across this bit of info on the Generation Terrorists page:

James Dean Bradfield – vocals, guitars
Sean Moore – drums, percussion, backing vocals
Richey James – guitar
Nicky Wire – bass

Sean on vocals? Does anybody know if a. this is true at all, and b. on what song(s) he apparently does said backing vocals?

Are you lying to me, Wiki? I thought we had something special...

It says so in the booklet as well so, presumably, it's true. Doesn't say what tracks thoughh.

He does the backing on Born to End (the rather high vocals that isnt James).
That 'Richey James - Guitar' credit is slightly more dubious

Really? Thanks for the info!

Haha yes, I was thinking that, too.. they could hardly say 'Richey James - Nothing, really' could they...?

Takk, do you happen to know which Lifeblood songs? Now I want to know everything there is to know about Sean and backing vocals

There was an MP3 of 'Solitude Sometimes Is' floating around recently in which someone had isolated Sean's backing vocal.

Yep, it's 'Solitude Sometimes Is', Sean has a very Bowie-esque voice on the backing tracks - if he only would consider releasing a solo LP..that would be fabulous.

Can someone upload this for me, please? I listened to the song but I always find it very hard to make out backing vocals when they're 'hidden' behind the lead vocals... if that makes any sense!

And yeah, I'd love for Sean to make a solo record, but I very much doubt it'll ever happen... he said in that Q Magazine interview "I'll never make a solo record. What would I contribute to the world?"

Yeah, there's born to end and some backing on lifeblood songs too.

Is that also Sean singing backing vocals on Quarantine? Or is it just James singing in his lower range?

I think it is James, he can be easily recognised in the second chorus, around 2:20...i suppose

I can hear Sean in Cardiff Afterlife, but not in NatWest - that's also James in my opinion. It would be great if Rob made more background mixes - the Solitude Sometimes Is one was magnificent work!!!!

Sean would be the ultimate one man band - with his trumpet and drum kit

can someone reupload the sean version of solitude? the link has expired, thanks

Anyone listening to Solitude on earphones should be able to get themselves a Sean-ified version of the mix just by pulling their earphone jack out slightly. It'll probably only work if you're lucky and if your earphone socket and connector are the right kind of shape, but if they are, it'll put the channels out of phase, and should expose Sean perfectly. It's worth a shot, as thjere are loads more moments on Lifeblood than just during Solitude's chorus.

nixon · #15 14-04-2009, 15:15

Yes i'd love to hear that too.
