iron maiden, their legendary 'mission from 'arry'
row that's on the b.side of one of their early 90's singles.
apparantley taped by bruce dickinson on the sly midway through
a massive argument about how the new roadie should approach
the drummer if he wishes to impart to said drummer, important information from the manager while midway thru a solo, if he
wants to avoid an extreme boll*cking
('fack my old boots' 'now i'm the c*nt' etc.)

Well the true classic is The Troggs Tapes. All the more amusing for being in worzel West Country accents.

The Troggs' in-studio row is documented on a single...'tis bluddy funny. Als (not strictly music), have you heard the Orsons Welles Findus advert outtakes (also abvailable as a 7"). It's hilarious, esp. when someone says he should emphasize the word 'in' when referring to to an event 'in July'.

Oops, sorry James - we must have posted silultaneously.

yes yes yes a thousand times yes. still the best thing
ever downloaded. orson welles irritated, fawning ad-men creeps
and the addition of lots of new phrases to
monopolise my conversation : 'now *that* doesnt make any *sense*'
'you people are such *pests*' and the legendary
'come on fellas you're losing your heads'

they had a full transcript in empire magazine in about 1992
when it was good.

'crumb crisp coating ? mmmmmm
aaaah that's tough...take 'crumb' out ? yes. good'

Ah yes. All kinds of worthiness like this is documented on the Celebrities at Their Worst series.

I used to tape lots of arguments like this when I was engineering for people (unknown artists, nobody famous). It started getting out of hand when I did things like sample my own voice saying stock engineer comments ('just one more time' etc. - except it might be slightly off in some way). Then I would trigger comment samples back through the foldback instead of saying the phrases live (no glass so they couldn't see) and they would respond to the sample, then I would perhaps trigger the sample again - like I hadn't heard - and they would begin to get exasperated. All being taped of course. Then I would sit down with a friend over a large pot of tea later and listen to it back. Great fun.

The big rumours I've heard like this of an engineer recording the feed of Sue Lawley's radio mic whilst she was getting jiggy with someone in a toilet, and the entire audience of Esther being treated to the sound of Ms. Rantzen going for a "Brad Pitt" over the studio PA in an interval also due to a radio mic being left on. These are probably urban myths, but hey . . .

I heard one of Loggins and Messina going at in in the studio, it sounded like a couple of chipmunks fighting. It was funny for how completely unthreatening these guys sounded even though they were so pissed. I mean, its pretty hard to be threatened by Kenny Loggins!

This tape also had Colonel Sanders trying to record a commercial while drunk and a great bit of Casey Casem (SP?) going off on an engineer.

Casey Casum giving it to, I dont know to but just being a crank forever immortalized by Negativeland.

That Sam Phillips/Jerry Lee Lewis debate (with Phillips adopting increasingly stentorian tones and JLL sounding increasingly confused) over whether a rock 'n' roller can save souls. Meanwhile, the drummer asks, "Can we cut this thing?"

Also search any Byrds studio tiff where David Crosby sounds like the most hideously condescending hippie asshole one can imagine.

someone told me there's a tape in existence containing a whimpering Michael Jackson and a seething Quincey Jones roaring "QUIT MAKING THOSE CLICKS AND SQUEAKS!" or similar.

tell me this is true!
