'Thrown Down' (Wall of Sound version) - Page 2

louielouie2000 · #16 03-28-2008, 06:47 AM

There are 3 versions of Thrown down

1) The "Wall Of Sound" version, dating to Stevie's Trouble In Shangri La album (this is the version posted in this thread)

2) There is the Say You Will album version

3) There is a Single version, which is very similar to the Say You Will album version, it's just been tweaked some so that certain sounds stand out more coming through radio transmission because certain ranges are lost through radios vs CDs. The production of this version is just a little cheesy, they add some weird little "Lindsey noises," y'all all know what I'm talking about. For instance those strange chicken noises on Peacekeeper lol. I have this version on my old computer which is in the attic... it's nothing to write home about.

If it was recorded for TISL, why are Lindsey's vocal on the track?

Also -- Has anyone noticed how similar the drum intro's to the WoS version of Thrown Down and Strait Back are very similar?

I've always thought that this version of Thrown Down sounds a little bit too much like Everyone Finds Out, especially the acoustic guitar.

Yes, that's what makes it confusing to me too. It doesn't seem like Lindsey to just take a finished Stevie song and add some vocals to it. I would think he'd want to re-record the whole thing (and, he did. Hence the SYW version).
So...if the 'WOS' version was a true TISL, does anyone have the credits for it? Who produced it, and who were the personnel? I think I hear Sharon and Lori, but that could be Lindsey too.

Lindsey had been working on a few of the TISL songs. Supposedly Sheryl Crow produced that version.

I had dowloaded the SYW tracks from Nabster shortly before the CD was realeased and all of the songs were the same as the CD except Thrown Down, which was the version above.

I much prefer the SYW version..... it has a Gypsy guitar sound to it

Don't forget there are also two demo versions of song from the TISL album sessions.

What kind of question is that?

That's like asking why Lindsey played guitar on "I Miss You".

Point taken.

Although ... I have asked myself that very question.
Why does Lindsey play guitar on "I Miss You"?

Why does Lindsey sing background on Bekka's Nothing Without You.

that would have been my question :P
i mean
he's not singing or playing guitar on any of the other songs that made the album or DIDN'T make the album...is he?

hmmmmmmmm

im DLing the WoS version right now

what other songs was Stevie "saving" for SYW from TISL?
or are these songs we don't know about yet
coz DR/Illume/SYW/Silver Girl she wrote FOR SYW
RTTG/GB/SaY were from the Stevie!Vault

was EFO meant for TISL?
oooh that would have been so delicious
Chanel Chanel sounds FM-y to me as well

ideas?

StreetAngel86 · #26 03-30-2008, 12:38 AM

hmmmm WoS sounds like the "single" version i had that is my favorite
but the record version is the best
i like it a bit more mellow and Stevie's vocals are just fab on the album version

I cant cite the specific interview...but I remember SHeryl Crow said (before TISL came out) that she had just "finished" and amazing track with Stevie and Lindsey and something to the effect that it was gonna "blow everyone away"...and then TISL came out...and there was nothing with Lindsey on it. I remember going...HUH? Turns out, it was Thrown Down.

True. Couldn't have been "I Miss You" (produced by Rick Nowels)

Well the TISL demo "Thrown Down" leaked around the same time as the demo for "Not Make Believe"...so she could have felt that "Not Make Believe" was more "FM-y."
