Sleep Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I might be going crazy but every live performance of Fix You I've heard, it sounds like it gets faster 2 seconds after Johnny starts playing the main guitar riff. Why do they do that you think? :o Or... why am I going crazy?:thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah, ive noticed that too actually. I thought it was just a time keeping issue but i thought they were using click tracks as well. iunno but either way, but youre not the only one who noticed.

Cubie255 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think it's just for effect (more excitement, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehovoric Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 You folks have very perceptible ears! I listened to 3 live variations and the original X&Y song. I opened my music software and tapped the beat for each. I found that the first half of the song consistently ran about 68/69 Beats per minute. But once the drums kick in and the song takes off, I hit 70 beats per minute every time. Maybe it just didn't sound as fun the one or two beats slower and so they raised it a little for the rest of the song. I know its always going to be the same wherever they play because of the backing tracks. But still rather interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 They play it faster just to get over with it faster LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
