Question about Spacebound

[Wreck]

I never knew Steve Tyler re-sang the hook for SFTM.

Learn something new everyday bro .

And this answers my question then, I'm surprised, I really thought it was a sample, it sounds like one.

I still have one question though, that can't be the guy's normal voice, the pitch had to be altered slightly or is that really his voice? Would be shocked.

No. He didn't re-sing it.It's mentioned in the COMC boom as to what actually went down.

Marshall got pissed off at him when they were backstage at Aerosmith's concert. Marshall said he was talking to Steve Tyler about using the music from their "Dream On" song for a track on his new CD. Marshall wanted to use the original version but Steven Tyler offered to redo the vocals for the track and give him the 2002 version. Marshall tried to turn him down. Marshall said he was thinking it would sound like shit because Steven's voice does not sound the same anymore, but he did not want to say that. So here's Kid Rock who Marshall said was pretty trashed, and he started saying stuff like " hey, this is fucking Areosmith here! You don't turn down Aerosmith, what's wrong with you?" Put on the spot, Marshall accepted Steven Tyler's offer. He said he wanted to kill Bob!

Turns out, Marshall said the new version did sound like shit and he decided to go with the old version anyway which offended Steven Tyler. Marshall said he was on the phone with him for over and hour trying to smooth things over. He had to use some reason other then the truth, that Steven Tyler's voice is not what it used to be.

Wow, I'm shocked, I never knew this. Thanks for posting that, good read. Lol @ the Kid Rock part. Sidebar: How come we never hear shit like this about Em & Bob's relationship? Obviously we had the collab in '99 & I heard they've played bball together at one another's house, but nothing besides that. Em is so private, especially in the last 5-6 years right after Encore dropped.

its called singing in falsetto

Yeah but that has to be really hard to do, and pull it off successfully, wouldn't you think? Never even heard of the guy tbh before I read that he contributed to the song. Interesting info here though.

and it's definitely a man singing..

Without his balls.

That's what I'm thinking too, in a way lol.

Falestto is a bit harder to control but not much, any singer with a record deal should be able to do it with ease.

I honestly don't think it's a stupid question. Singing gets confused a lot with just sampling songs for choruses, & that's what happened too.

what´s wrong with this thread? I found out some new info about SFTM a it´s interesting enough.

[Emadyville]

Em didn't write the hook. O_O It came with the beat.

The initial concept remained mostly intact, and the song's chorus acted as a guide for the Detroit MC to add his own twist. "The chorus was based off of a chase, a guy who's chasing after a woman that he's crazy about," Jonsin said of the theme. "He loves her; she's everything to him. I'm a rocket ship aiming at her heart, her heart's the moon — I'm going full-on."

Bam.

I assume 90% of songs with hooks other than the artist happen like this

Why do I feel like the only person on TR who knew it was a guy on the hook...

well i think the hook is by : Leslie Mendelson

this is one of her song :

it makes sense somehow :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_McEwan


if u check steve wiki page...scroll down to the discography....u will notice her name on the late 2009...but yet in the article it says : In 2010, McEwan co-wrote the track "Space Bound" for Eminem and also sang the hook


so to be honest am not sure if Mcewan did it...i think Leslie did it...her voice is so close to the spacebound hook :/
