Back when Rolling Stone reviewed Viva la Vida, they said that in the last section of DAAHF, there was flute. Where is it?

 

P.S. I had to put this here instead of the DAAHF section because it probably wouldn't be viewed as much!

 

Thanks!

maybe that's what they thought Jonny's riff was. It's a very weird sound for guitar, if they're stupid enough (which Rolling Stone obviously is:rolleyes:), they could perhaps mistake it for flute.:lol:

love your sig

This from the mag that said only thing on PM worth having was the JayZ track. :whatever:

Now to be fair, maybe a guitar sounds like a flute when you have your head up your own ass. :D

well since magazines/music reviewers get to listen to albums before they are released to the public, it's possible that there was a flute on the track, but was removed right before cd manufacturing started.

Yeah, there is no flute track in the finished version. The review came way before the album was finished, and if you look up the review they didn't cover every song because some weren't even recorded yet.

thanks:D

good point:lol:

I remember puzzling over this for a while too... and then I remembered that Rolling Stone is written by complete morons.

 

... Or that it was just removed from the finished version, take your pick ;)

What about that high pitch nose at 2:11??It only last for a couple seconds.

hmmm, that might be flute. sounds more like reverbed guitar though:thinking:

ROLLINGSTONE LIES...

I've always thought that since they only get to listen to it once (or in this case anyway) they just mistaked the reverb-soaked high-pitched guitar as flute. And as the guitar part is a rather simple melody, it could be mistaken for something that could feasibly be played by a flute-type instrument.

 

I also think Rolling Stone would be inclined to write that what they heard was a flute, as the band were drumming on around that time about all the bizarre instruments in the album, and exotic influences to be heard.
