Recordings with "wrong" notes/sounds in them

[kbaccki]

Any Frank Zappa guitar solo ever

Neil Young. Any vocal or.. er... "guitar solo", take your pick.

This thread, for whatever reason, reminds me of a story I read on another forum (EquipmentTrollopz or something like that) about a sound guy who got back at a hot-shot lead guitarist who was a bit of a prick toward him. I guess he slapped a pitch shifter on the guitarist's in-ear monitoring, and when it came time for the hot-shot to take an epic solo, the engineer pitch-shifted the guy's in-ear signal by a semitone. So his big, epic solo quickly fizzled as his confidence was shaken; I guess it took him a few seconds to find the right key because his ears and his fingers weren't matching up at all.

It seems really vindictive and unprofessional, and I don't remember the context at all, but still funny in a schadenfreude kind of way.

Ooh, that's sneaky. It's also reminded me of this glorious incident when someone appeared to run the DAT at the wrong speed.
