      YEAH wtf are you talking about? Steinman just wanted some sound effect or recording. Todd Rundgren is the one who made it happen. And _that_ is why Jim says TR is the only person he has worked with who he considers a genius.

    • @thomcorp
      @thomcorp  8 місяців тому +1

      Wow well spotted. I've never noticed that. It's so weird that it took me a little bit to work out what was going on. It's actually the shadow of each of the sliders. You can see at the beginning when Meat is raising his right hand it interferes with the shadows. What makes this even weirder is that the other sliders that are not in front of the pen, have weaker different shadows. It looks like that there are 2 or 3 lights coming from camera left creating different shadows of varying strength. Really weird though.

      Any vintage tremolo abuse would do it. A perfect setup guitar would then stay in tune for the solo or there about "sufficiently" in tune.
