It's really a song that has to be sung like the hammers of hell. Jim's vocals are at a nice quick pace, and so are the instruments. I thought Meat/Desmond's idea of leaving out the "Godspeed" part was a bad decision on Bat 3. To be honest I don't see anything special in Brian May's guitar work on the track either. It's good, but because it's Brian May people got a bit carried away, and in my opinion overrated it. Todd Rundgren's guitar work on the original BFG was just as a effective in my opinion. > Babs version of LITD was poor (even with Jim producing) I agree, and I'm not being sexist with the following comment, but I think LITD should never have been sung by her, or any woman for that matter. I did mention it before, a woman can't make the same impact singing that song as a man can. > In fact LITD is one of his most theatrical songs and would > love to see it in Bat/Neverland, although I doubt it will > be. Would have worked great in Wuthering Heights? > Could have worked well as a Count Von Krolock song in Tanz either. The lyrics would have to be changed alright, but the melody is perfect | |
