Anyone have any computer files of this song? I have nine versions of this song on my computer from the album, CD, etc. and all versions seem to have some strange things going on with the voice at and after 45 seconds into the song. Anyone know WTF is the deal with this? Is it the conversion process from the recording or maybe the 5.1 surround playback on my computer? No other song I know of does this. :o

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida... Ahhh, the foundation of hard rock music... Amazing what enough drugs and alcohol can do to the words "In the Garden of Eden, baby"

Or what a certain mischievious, spike-haired Bart Simpson does when he hands out lyric sheets at church.

"Wait a minute, this sounds like rock and/or roll."

One of my favorite Simpsons episodes ever.


I know I have this song in mp3, I just have to remember where I put all of the stuff that I don't listen to that often.

I have never even heard of Iron Butterfly before :-?

Although I know the Simpsons episode :P

I'm a metalhead, too...as for old-school metal, though...well, this is about as old-school as I get:

:D :P

Slayer f'ing rules!

I do listen to all kinds of music though (except rap...I hate that crap), and will check out Iron Butterfly...

Iron Butterfly is 60's psychedelic rock. However, Slayer covered In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the Less Than Zero soundtrack in the 80's.

Here's what someone said at another forum:

"OK, in the interest of looking into the original poster's question, I broke out my remastered In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida CD (yes, I bloody own it...) and gave it a listen. Sure enough, at around the 45 second mark the vocals seem to fade slightly down in the mix and do a little right-left channel wiggle. They do seem to remain down in the mix for the rest of the first section. I'd suspect that right-left wiggle might sound more pronounced in a pseudo 5.1 mix. So I don't think it's your rip, I think it may have been a mixing engineer sampling some of the bands recreational goodies."

So it may not be the rip. :o

Um, no comment on the remake.;)
