Linkhoppin: Ulver-Sabbath-Kaurismäki

Ακούγοντας τη ψιλοαδιάφορη διασκευή των Ulver στο Solitude των Sabbath, είπα επιτέλους να κατεβάσω ολόκληρο το Masters of Reality (coming out of the closet, κράχτε). Και έπεσα πάνω στα εξής trivia:
-For the recording of this album, guitarist Tony Iommi, who had injured his fingers in a factory accident years earlier, decided to de-tune his guitar down three semi-tones (or one and a half steps to C-sharp). This reduced string tension, thus making the guitar easier for him to play. Geezer Butler also de-tuned his bass guitar to match Iommi. The result was a noticeably "darker" or "sludgier" sound.
-The song "Solitude" was featured as the leitmotif for main character, Zombie, in the 1991 motion picture Zombie ja Kummitusjuna (Zombie and The Ghost Train) by Finnish director Mika Kaurismäki.
-Beastie Boys sampled the guitar riff for Sweet Leaf on their 1986 song "Ryhmin' and Stealin'.

"Antti "Zombie" Autiomaa does two things well: play the bass guitar and drink"
To μεγάλο country κομμάτι που παίζει είναι το "KARJAA KARJALAAN" των Harri & The Mulefukkers.
