Tremelo Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hello all!!! I was just wondering what causes those squeaks in the outro/intro of Moby Dick, I think it sounds awesome. (Not a musician, so forgive me if this is a dumb question.) Also who is counting up in the version without the drum solo? Jimmy or Bonzo? Thanks!!!

Mook Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 What squeaks are you referring to? I listened to the studio version of Moby Dick religiously for years & am not aware of any significant squeaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The counting sounds like Bonham to me. ----------- The only real problem I can remember encountering was when we were putting the first boxed set together. There was an awfully squeaky bass drum pedal on 'Since I've Been Loving You'. It sounds louder and louder every time I hear it! [laughs]. That was something that was obviously sadly overlooked at the time. Jimmy Page, from Guitar World magazine, 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am hearing is probably perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl of Court Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I wonder if the poster is referring to the high-pitched 'pop' noises which come from the guitar. This is almost like a pinch-harmonic sound overlaid on the notes of the riff. It can be copied by playing the riff a little off the fingernail which is holding the pick.

I think you understand what I am referring to. A pop yes, not a squeak. Thanks so much for explaining that. Thought I was going mad there for a second. Would have never guessed how it was done.

I'd always previously assumed it was a percussion instrument of some kind, overlaid on the track. It is quite noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysquid Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Is it Bonham's infamous squeaky kick pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
