Absolutely delighted to get this one out there, one of my favorites and it was an honor to work on it. Also many thanks to AJF who handled the heavy lifting – vocals and pro keys – as I’ve did mostly easier charts. Amazing song.
thanks for the tag team effort. Here’s to more in the future
LATEST UPDATE 6/17 – Slayer – Reborn
GUITAR/BASS LEFT HAND ANIMATIONS: ghostbyob
Mixing a variety of incisive riffs, trampling beats and rapidfire vocals, “Reborn” is a song for intense cardiovascular exercise – providing you’re willing to risk having your aorta burst open midsong. The lyrics are about a witch sentenced to die, but who has “signed the book of red,” promising immortality; hence, the song title.Your work is relentless… I like how my morning routine has become “coffee, newspaper, and AJFOne23’s daily custom”

STANDARD KEYS: MrBurpler
UPDATE NOTES:This chart was originally based on the work of nsw1-6 but it’s been completely overhauled with a new tempo map, audio source, venue, redone bass and drums as well as pro keys finally added. If you grabbed the old don’t hesitate to pick up the new one.ABOUT THE SONG:
“Take Five” was the third track on the album Time Out, recorded in 1959. That was the year Miles Davis and Gil Evans introduced the jazz audience to modal music with the landmark album Kind of Blue, John Coltrane released Giant Steps and Art Farmer and Benny Golson formed their first jazztet. A lot of new things were happening in jazz in those days, but rhythmically, the music was still being played mostly in four-four time. Brubeck had always been interested in polyrhythm and polytonality. The first theory is what drives African music; the second is tied closely to classical. Brubeck had been playing in odd time signatures back in the late 1940s, but it wasn’t until he returned from a trip to Turkey in 1958 that he thought about doing an entire album in different time signatures, like six-four, three-four, nine-eight and, in “Take Five,” five-four.“Take Five” includes one of the most thrilling drum solos ever recorded, a 2:20 master class in percussive accentuation, colorization and structure. Unlike the rest of Time Out, which was composed by Brubeck, the tune was written by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond. “It was never supposed to be a hit,” Desmond said later. “It was supposed to be a Joe Morello drum solo.” Morello had joined the quartet in 1956 over Desmond’s initial objection: the saxophonist was concerned that Morello’s muscular style would jar with his own lyrical approach. Desmond was won over, and when the composer royalties for “Take Five” started pouring in, he must have been relieved Brubeck had stood his ground and insisted on hiring Morello.Wow, one of my favourite jazz tunes ever! Normally I wouldn’t be a fan of jazz in RB, but I can’t pass on this

GUITAR: BassSinger313
STANDARD KEYS: FujiSkunk
LATEST UPDATE 6/25 – Pulp – Like a Friend
GUITAR/BASS/KEYS: yaniv297
“Like A Friend” is a staggering great b-side by Brit pop band Pulp. The song starts off slowly with just an electric guitar and singer Jarvis Cocker‘s voice before building to an all-out alt-rock crescendo. The lyrics are some of Cocker‘s most amusing and moving: dealing with a friendship with (or possibly being “friend-zoned” by) a self-destructive. Cocker knows that the person is bad for him and takes up his time “like a cheap magazine”, but he knows he will always feel compelled to come to their aid. The song ends with Cocker reciting a laundry list of complaints but acknowledging that he is effectively trapped. The song is funny yet pointed and really captures Pulp at their confessional and tuneful best.
