If you can't sing backwards, don't sing at all!

[Crackfare]

i think there was that one part in the Watershed recording video where Mike tried and kinda just giggled afterwards

 

[Wander]

why the hell do you compare it to Stairway to Heaven? that's not the same thing at all since it has forward lyrics aswell.

Plus some say there really is no backwards message in the song.

watch this. the ending soundslike it cold be accurate but the beginning doesnt soundlike anything other than backwards lyrics

Or he could just say this:
"eh eeseh. nashe see ooh seh. yajan ho. ra so sheen oo ah."

I tried to transcribe the lyrics to the best of my ability on that part

The stupid thing is,
I agree with that description lol.

Its pretty much spot on.

Seriously guys, the Stairway to Heaven thing was debunked like how many decades ago? It's just your mind filling in what it wants to hear, helped along greatly by having lyrics displayed right in front of you.

Well, is he supposed to sit there and just mumble into the mic like a retard?

well he does sing the backwards part in the 'making of' documentary rehearsal videos so its not that far fetched. thought it was all supposed to be a joke anyways. :Smokin:

 

[Antyman]

I do believe the stairway thing is real, since it was very popular at the time, and almost every band did it.
but on the other hand it's just like selling a toast-jesus on ebay..

AHAHAHAHHAH, I can just imagine that on stage, XD

Mikael would look like a paraplegic. ahhahah

 

[Nasty-Fire]

Is that a common expression in English, not only in french?

They use it in other language. I wonder why, because it's actually French. There are some other "English" words like that, such as "rendez-vous".

Thread-related : Ummm, well it would have been fun if he sung reversed, like, you know... just for fun. But it's not so important. Who cares.

That's completely wrong. If you say that backwards it would be:

"ah oo neehs os ar. Oh najay. Hes ooh ees ehsan. Hesee eh."

 

[theodocious]

Well he did in the watershed DVD

Yes, I was wondering what he would do live. I thought he was speaking swedish or something originally, but now it all makes sense and the silence was cool if not oddly lacking.

This posting was great!

They could play Hessian Peel backwards, in that way, he wouldn't have to sing the backwards-part backwards. Problem solved.

So, I was at the first show of the current US tour last night at Sayreville, NJ at the Starland. It was a good show. They didn't play Bleak, which I was hoping for, but all in all a good long 2hr set that was pretty diverse. They did play Hessian Peel, which as you know has 15 secs of backwards singing, so I was pretty interested to hear Mikael sing backwards. So, what happened? NOTHING. He didn't sing at all. It turned into an instrumental segment for the entire part. It was weird since I was expecting some voice over but I guess singing backwards will left to Robert Plant/Led Zep, a la, Stairway to Heaven. Anybody have any other thoughts on this?

He does do the backwards vocal part on the bonus DVD for Watershed special edition, so I was expecting him to do the same live... I did think it was kinda weird that he didn't do it... oh well.

There we go. Try it with your mic and post it Ok bad idea. Could be fun, though.

 

[HemeHaci]

Best thread in a while. This guy made me feel like a genius. Props to him.

hahah completely agreed.

It's always interesting to see how stupid can people get

 

[Ozzloaf]

I tried it hahaha. It didn't really sound much like the original when put backwards.
