...Legacy. But maybe not this fast. I was doing some sound design for a friend of mine who wanted a solo "so insano fast that no human could play it" so I ended up penciling in 64th notes in Cubase. With liberal amounts (abuse) of pitch wheel automation and a hasty sampling of one of my real guitars I ended up with this:
And that made me think of Dragonforce and all sorts of other studio tomfoolery, such as playing at half speed and then doubling the tempo. For the video clip of Legacy I just skipped to the doubling the tempo part. Lindsey's headbanging is a lot more epic in normal time. From 0:27 - 0:30 it's actually Dave singing, but you can barely tell that Lindsey takes over at 0:30 because of the super artificial sped up pitch shifting.
If enough people are interested I could share more fun facts about Legacy (the original and not the 200% version). If we have enough interest we could have interviews with Dave and myself about the meaning behind the lyrics, where the music came from, how many versions of the song we had to go through, etc. For that matter, if you want to know any more "Behind the Music" details on any of the songs (especially with ones with less sensical names...Sean Connery I'm looking in your direction) we would love to spill all the gorey details.
Comment away and let us know what your favorite song is!
