I was sure Bat Out Of Hell started with a motorbike sound, but not according to Spotify.
It was Dave Gahans Porsche mateThe sound in the beginning is taken from an old Emu sample disc of a motorbike idling.
Alan Wilder: "One of the first tracks we recorded, I think, was Stripped. And that just flowed, probably the only track on the album that did, and it was easy.[1] And I think I have to give credit to Martin's demo, because recorded the demo using the opening sound to that, which is an Emulator sample of a motorbike, ideally. And we said, "Well, let's just replicate that in the studio", and everything else just followed. We recorded Dave's Porsche, if you're trying to be [specific], a Porsche, and we recorded its ignition, which starts the track."
Never understood how somebody can actually listen to that and enjoy it.
The ignition sound starts at ten seconds, the Emu sample starts at two seconds. So in essence you have two totally different vehicle noises in the first ten seconds of the song.It was Dave Gahans Porsche mate
