I just realized that the synth stabs from the Van Halen song "Jump" sound very similar to the ones from the Castranova hit scene in Calderone's Return: :)

I’ve often thought that Jan was at least a little subliminally influenced by Jump with this cue, as it had heavy radio play all throughout 1984–and still today, I might add. It’s certainly proof that good lyrics aren’t needed for good music. :)

another one of George Michael's more moody and "jazzy" songs:

 

I’ve always imagined George asked the sax player, “Can you just play like Stan Getz?”

so what kind of synth were they using for those stabs? Would those have come from a Roland or something?

Eddie used the Oberheim OB-Xa (also a favorite synth of Jan, I believe). Maybe Jan ‘s OB-Xa made a cameo in that cue. Who knows? The Roland Jupiter 8 or Moog Memorymoog could easily handle those kinds of sounds. I will say that the patch sounds smoother and less gritty when that cue reappears in “Bought and Paid For”. I would put my money on the Jupiter 8 for that version.

Old Sting there looking a little lost while everybody was going all out ghospel choir on one of his all-time top selling songs... :p

But I'm sure he was happy about the royalties that he got from Puff Daddy  :)

Whether you liked Guns 'n Roses or not, you'll have to agree that this song is worthy of its place in rock history:

hm... no... I think they're at the Rainbow Bar in Los Angeles, that legendary hangout which was frequented by people like Guns 'n Roses, as well as Alice Cooper, Ringo Starr, and even Elvis Presley.

(ok, just re-watched it... yeah, Slash is actually smoking inside the church during the vows. What a rebel... :p )

The video did win an MTV Video Music Award that year for Best Cinematography, you know... :)

I love Guns n' Roses. Makes me sad they never really did anything that lived up to their debut album though.
