Fly on the wall........

Ok this is one of those lame (or not) trivia questions

Fill in the sentence:
I wish i was a fly on the wall during the recording of _________. (insert name of song or album)

John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High! I’d love to see what kinda of stupid arguments they hide while recording such garbage!
Late,

KMFDM: “Apart”

human fly. cramps.

Skinny Puppy - ‘The Process’

“Safe As Milk”…for obvious reasons.

Van Halen - I

Eno’s “Here Come The Warm Jets”. Probably not the most conflict filled sessions but I’d love to see the sheer genius flowing through.

Good choice I was just listening to this album yesterday.

I guess i would reach back to something obvious like Pink Floyd’s Piper At The Gates of Dawn. To see Syd Barrett during the heyday of his creativity before the breakdown would be something.

i saw the live chicken.

Tapeworm, to see how much of anything they really did.
Jane’s Addiction while doing their Ritual album.

supposedly the scene in “the gift” is them (Janes) really recording 3 days for the album

Filthpig, hands down. Shootin tarantulas off the wall with shot guns, drug busts, Preston Hubbard, misuse of an air strip, self mutilation, FUN FUN FUN!

Wish You Were Here would’ve been good. Just to see how Syd was crackin on.

Actually, any Syd Barrett album, anything he did post break down.

I know this will sound horribly insensitive. But people with mental illness can be a laugh to hang around. How do I know? Someone very dear to me ended up in the psych ward. Was very painful to see them suffer. BUT… when I went to visit them in the psych ward (which was pretty much every day), there was always some fucked up/hilarious event involving the other patients. All good people. I felt sorry for them, but they seemed happy just to have someone to talk to. Nonetheless, getting proposed to can lead to some hilariously awkward moments. I didn’t have the heart to say no. So we all did a fake ‘ceremony’. I shit you not. I was laughing my arse off, but… it was like this twisted, awesome pantomime. All good intentions, it wasn’t like a malicious source of humour or whatever.

I eventually ‘hugged’ the ‘bride’. [angelic]

I’ve heard a couple different things about that. One, i’ve heard it’s just them jamming it. But the main thing i’ve read and heard the most is that the majority of the work behind that album was so dysfunctional that they had to work separately. Navarro and Avery did their thing and Perkins ran back and forth between them and Perry. I’ve seen that video of Three Days though, and it was pretty sweet, but I dunno if it was album version of just them jamming it.

But the story goes, they really wanted to end it in 88, but dragged it along until 91.

“Low”

But “Exile of Main Street” would have probably been more fun to watch.

You read “Old Gods Almost Dead”? That’s an amazing book on the Stones, definitely my favorite rock biography (and I wasn’t even much of a Stones fan when I started reading it). The Stones really are living fucked up mythological figures.

Christ. My typo looks really obvious now. Anyway…

No. Haven’t read it but I’ll check into it.

The stuff bowie did in Berlin had to have some interesting times behind that, especially with Iggy in the mix.
