This Song

Surprised anyone hasn’t mentioned Dave’s church organ sounding bit in this song.
I absolutely love that bit and hope there’s more of this sound on the album and none of those plinky plonky & xylophone type sounds.

Sir is it Dave playing that part or Louie? As they put a new verse in? So I'm wondering if it's Dave playing that Church Organ bit? Lt Kudu.

Good point, don’t know tbh but hope it is Dave but if not, Fidel Nicastro’s input is jolly good indeed.

To be honest Sir I think its Louie as the new verse was put in after Dave passed away I think? I may be wrong, like White Stallion, it has a basic Dave bit but Louie put extra keys on it and the Operatic bit. Lt Kudu.

Well, apart from me last week:

I like it, I'm not sure about the change in the vocal style, and I think they shouldn't have left such a gap before the last word. But I really like the keyboard work in the talky bit in the middle.

Or did you miss it because I'm on your "foe" list? :)

I loved Boney M and the male in the band the late Bobby Ferrel didn't sing on the records it was the producer but Bobby sang live he was a dancer, as for ABBA a great pop band but a pointless waste of time making another album but it will sell shitloads, thing is Benny and Bjorn look the same now, the years have not been kind to them, I see Iron Maiden have a new album out soon or now? So a bit of competition? But I don't know how many on here like Iron Maiden, not my thing but a very talented Band obviously, like some of their stuff.Lt Kudu.

The Iron Maiden album was released last Friday, don’t have it and have no interest in hearing it, although the Samurai concept is pretty interesting, gave up listening to metal some time ago, but yes talented musicianship there. Would have thought it will chart quite well, they’ve really gone for special physical releases too. It’s anybody’s guess how well Dark Matters will do on the album charts. My guess is it will easily make the top 40, maybe even top 20 but won’t stick around for more than a week

I think the promotion has been far better so far and it hasn't got an unpleasant cover so it should do better hopefully.

It could well be a Dave keyboard snippet that was recorded for something and then transposed to fit into This Song?

Although I suspect it's 100% Louie Castrol GTX

It's number one on the mid week chart, ahead of the massively hyped Drake album. I'd imagine that's mainly on the strength of pre-sales and that Drake will overtake by the time of the proper chart on Friday due to streams etc.

Iron Maiden seem to have had a fair few studio albums reach number one in the UK if memory serves. Sadly, I don’t think a Stranglers studio album has been in the top ten since Feline, off the top of my head.

Agreed i think you could be right here,like Louie has openly said about White Stallion that Dave put the basic keys down for it then Louie made it the full production that this song is,how much of just Daves key work we will get to hear from this track is unknown yet as we haven't heard the full track.So i wonder just how many tracks we will hear clearly just Daves work on.I understand that on certain track they probably have to add to it to get that final full and right version and Dave did do some just early basic demos to them.I'm hoping that we do get to hear alot of just Daves key work on many tracks,even though i think Louie has been a genius in his production work.

Soz missed your post but to be fair you did say keyboard work in talky bit and not the churchy organy bit in the talky bit.
Foe? Ignoring posts? Nah I’m not that sensitive but the rumour is that the ‘sensitive 6’ are still hanging around on the forum so there’ll always be some sensitive types to offend.
