Thrown Down

**mylittledemon** · #1 10-06-2005, 02:52 PM

I still havent heard this amazing, terrific, super-hip, quacktastic "WALL OF SOUND" version of this song that everyone talks about.......!

In short, it's DRIVING ME INSANE.

Can anyone post it?

THANK YOU NEAL and STRAND........this version is killer. Why in the hell wasnt it put on Say You Will?!? Just like that remix Chris Lord Alge version of the song Say You Will was a lot better than the album version.

I have to admit that I prefer the album version of Thrown Down much more than the Wall Of Sound version, even though it is very lush and beautiful. The WOS version reminds me a little of Big Love. Does anyone know where this comes from? It seems too produced to be just a demo. And it's a total different vocal to be a remix. I've wondered about that ever since I first heard it.

And yes, my littledemon, the single remix of Say You Will is far superior to the one that was on the album.

The "Wall Of Sound" version is actually a 'Trouble In Shangri-La' outtake. It was recorded for 'TISL,' with Lindsey on guest vocals. The track was included on a German test-pressing of the album, but it didn't make the final cut. Presumably because Stevie thought it would make a stronger Mac song than a solo song, and decided to save it.

Hmm...really? Thats bizarre because the guitar solo parts in the middle of the song are so blatantly Lindsey. I wonder if that was him playing or not?

I WONT SAY that I like the 'Wall of Sound' version of Thrown Down better, but I like it a lot.

It very well could be... certainly sounds like his style. But I didn't want to say with 100% authority that it is him playing, since I don't know for certain.

As an aside... in an interview with Billboard magazine, sometime in 2000, Sheryl Crow commented on working with Stevie, and said that Stevie's album would include a song they recorded with Lindsey, that would really knock the socks off of anyone who loves those two.

When the album was released, of course, the only Lindsey appearance was on "I Miss You," and I really doubt that that's what Sheryl was referring to.
So she must have been referring to this recording of "Thrown Down."

Yeah the electric guitar sounds very Lindsey. Then again, it sounds a lot like the guy who did all the guitar work on songs like Fall From Grace, etc.

I think Sheryl was pushing for a Mac reunion at the time...Thats cool that Stevie held Thrown Down back for a Mac album, considering at THAT time, it was possible that they wouldnt do another record.

Oh yeah, here's the tune for those of you that dont have it......
