"Rooms Of Fire" Vocal Tracks Only

[cbBen]

No falsetto (further to my other thread), but her singing here is amazing (and isolated with no instruments). It's great hearing her harmonize with herself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K6L6xvEN1Y

I can hear her sinuses clicking though.

I remember the first time I heard this. It was kinda gross. What kind of stupid do you habe to be to snort Salicylic Acid tabs into your brain case? She must regret it every day.

We worship at different altars because RAL hatred is MY religion

To this date its the only Stevie solo album I never bought on CD. I usually had the album or tape and years later bought the CD. I never bought RAL on CD but I bought the album in Nov 1985. In 2004 I was in a Thrift Store and they had cassette tapes for $1. RAL was in the bunch, it crossed my mind to buy it because I threw the album away in the mid 90's. However, common sense kicked in and I would not buy RAL for even ONE DOLLAR.
:eek:

An awful album outside three songs: "Talk To Me" "I Can't Wait" and "Has Anyone Written..." (which is decent but not that great).

Stevie sang fat on OSOTM.

Rooms Of Fire

Is this yet another, hitherto undiscovered Stevie song about indoor conflagrations, or just an eggnog-induced typo? :)

[cbBen]

typo (non-egg nog induced)

I think that the two real rock songs on the album" Imperial Hotel "and No Spoken Word "are really good songs..I Can't Wait is more of an overproduced mess than a real song..by far the weakest all her top 40 solo hits.

[TheWildHeart67]

This is awesome. I love her vocals on this song, and it's neat being able to hear her vocals isolated from the music track. Classic song. I've always loved the music video for it as well.

I tried listening to it again recently on Spotify. I just . . . couldn't. It sucks.

As for Rock a Little, everybody's Stevie poison is different. I like the title track, Imperial Hotel, Strangers, Nightmare, and Written. Unlike the Rupert Hine fiasco, at least her voice is mixed up front on Rock a Little so that she doesn't sound more like a backing vocalist than a lead vocalist. What would possess any producer anywhere to mix Stevie on a Stevie album as a backup vocalist?! What kind of stupid is this? I think she was sharing her tranquilizers with the producer during those sessions.

I wish I was on the old Listservs back then, I'm curious what all the buzz was about OSOTM when it was released. It's like a pink sparkly rubber mallet giving me dull thuds on the head over and over, ending with Stevie singing Johnny Cash to a reggae beat. #no

oh come on....the album has some great songs
Rooms on Fire
Long Way To Go
Oooh My Love
Ghosts
Escape from Berlin

[petep9000]

To each their own. I reserve the right to call OSOTM a lump of **** as much as others might call RAL or SA the same thing, and they do! OSOTM is ALL about Steve’s terrible terrible fall from sexy rock lady to numb laughing stock. She’s very lucky she was able to come back from that. Her coke years had nothing on those awful Klonopin years.

I Sing For the Things is pretty good. I love the piano demo.

Out of all the solo records OSOTM is the one that deserves a remix. Dial The Number should be on it. On some songs she does seem to be singing through the fog.
What in the world were they thinking doing Blue Eyes to a reggae beat? One of Stevie's strong suits is country singing. Her and a guitar would have been much better.

I love RAL.
Some of it sounds dated now. But at the time everyone I knew loved it.

It's all the synths that make it sound dated.

I kind of like that it sounds dated. I sooooooo loved the 80’s 😎
