The thing with Led Zeppelin songs is that they were never the same. They were very fluid and tight but loose.
'Tim Timtya' was different from what I usually do. I had to develop a texture to go with the song. In fact, many told me I sounded like Shreya Goshal, which came as a pleasant surprise. Transitioning from tracks like 'Sunny Sunny' to this one was quite different.
The same song can have drastically different feels and personalities just by changing some minor things. A different drumbeat or some vocal overdub could completely transform the song.
I don't like to write the same song twice.
I think I've always approached making albums pretty much the same way. I'm just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren't the same thing over and over.
I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other.
There is not one thing that's Beatle music. How can they talk about it like that? What is Beatle music? Walrus or Penny Lane? Which? It's too diverse: I Want to Hold Your Hand or Revolution Number Nine?
I just didn't expect an acoustic version of Rock'n'Roll All Nite.
I find it really irritating when a band changes the melody of a song you know.
The song of canaries Never varies, And when they're moulting They're pretty revolting.
Every record has been very different, so I can't really compare them. The first record was good. I originally recorded about half the songs on that one in 2003 or something, and then I went back a few years later and re-recorded them and added some other songs.
One day I'll make a rap song, the next day I'll make a pop song, the next day I'll make a rock song, the next day I'll make R&B. I don't have a pattern.
I try and make all my songs sound different from each other while doing it in a way that's still me. It's a tricky thing to do.
There are as many ways to write songs as there are songs.
Some of the songs have a tinge more pop this time. I wanted to go into different worlds.
My opinion is that music is music. As long as you approach doing a remix with truth, I don't see the dance remixes being any different than an hip-hop remix- it's really a different version of the song.
I would say the songs that have different lyrics. I always write the music first, and there's a couple of songs on this box set that have different lyrics from what ended up on the final recording.
I like to keep the big dynamic changes between my songs, so that album songs feel radically different from each other.
I try not to write two songs about the same thing, although, on occasion, it happens, so I guess it kinda helps to change stuff up.
A lot of the Beatles albums were very various, and we did it on purpose: We didn't want the next track to sound like the last one.
I have been known to do a lot of glamorous, glossy songs in A-lister set-ups. This was unlike that. 'Blackmail' is a gritty film, so the song is also very different from what I have done before.
If you feel that you're not getting enough out of a song, change the instrument - go from an acoustic to an electric or vice versa, or try an open tuning. Do something to shake it up.
I didn't make the same song twice, but I definitely made the sequel to it, because everyone would come up to me in the streets saying, "Yo Khaled, make another 'I'm So Hood.' We love that record so much.
Women do not like CDs of live music. We only like the original recordings. If a song sounds different from the version we fell in love with, then it's awful.
Yeah, but on the U.S Tour we threw a new song into the set almost every night. Ofcourse, you can't do too many new songs every night as they've never heard it.
