Some Girls - The DNA Will Have Its Say (Karen O)
Alex Kapranos on SFA's Inaugural Tram
Well it's not him (nerr nerr nerr) so maybe that's why
It's the FF bassist I believe.
But they hold up a picture of Kapranos to the microphone when they play it live!
The shysters.
But it is! The internet told me so and when they do it live they hold up his face
why would they lie to me thetrees, why?!
It's not him either
It's Nick McCarthy, their guitar/synth player
soulsavers - unblanced pieces
you have to listen very closely for patton.
UNKLE - Nursery Rhyme
features Badly Drawn Boy. Honestly didn't know until I read the credits.
is that one of the tracks with Jason Newsted on bass too?
He's on the Mike D one, for sure.
mastodon- blood and thunder
has Neil Fallon from Clutch on
Daryl Palumbo on Champing At The Bit by Every Time I Die
another track that also surprised me on 'Gutter Phenomenon'
in terms of guest vocals was Gerard Way's contribution to 'Kill The Music'.
blood and thunder
was the first thing to come to mind for me too.
best vocal performance on any of their albums
Josh Homme is on Colony of Birchmen too
Robbie Williams
Grah!
Robbie Williams' song 'No Regrets' features the Neils Hannon and Tennant on backing vocals.
You can hear Hannon's line a mile off, though
Only if you're listening for it.
I find Tennant's vocals easier to pick, to be honest too.
'Bang and Blame' by REM
has THurston Moore on backing vocals.
Crush With Eyeliner, actually
The song Moore is in, that is.
oh ballcocks - of course it is.
Duh duh duh duh
Julian Casablancas
is on 'Sick, Sick, Sick' and Rob Halford is on 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer' by QotSA.
Billy Joe Armstrong sings backing vocals on one of the tracks on Ryan Adams' 'Rock n Roll' album, though I can't remember which one.
Ed Larrikin on Patrick Wolf's Accident & Emergency
He sings one line, but you barely notice the vocal change until it's pointed out.
Josh Homme
On D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S A-N-I-M-A-L-S by arctic monkeys.
Paul McCartney munching celery
on some SFA track or another
doesnt he eat carrots
on a beach boys song? maybe 'Vegetables'...
i think he eats vegetables on as many tracks as possible
Billy Corgan covering "To Love Somebody"
with Robert Smith on backing vocals
David Byrne on Knotty Pine
by him and Dirty Projectors
I know it's technically not guest vocals, but it is really.
Rob Halford added vocals to QOTSA's 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer'
David Essex on Bent's Stay The Same Sport
I think thats the name of the track, a mate put it on a mixtape for me. Great song.
Cut Me Up by Har Mar Superstar has Karen O in
singing a couple of lines and making sex groans and moans.
Also, Serj Tankian in Mein by Deftones. I didnt know until about 6 months ago after about 3 years of listening to that song.
