RIR Blood Brothers … cuckoo

[BludBrutha]

What’s that cuckoo noise in Blood Brothers? Just after Bruce says “got an idea - a good idea, try this, uh uh!”?

Sounds like a cuckoo. I thought it was Nicko screwing around with a recorder (instrument) but I just checked the video and he’s not doing anything, unless there’s been a shot spliced in from another time.

5:00

That's definitely Nicko. He's not playing an instrument, he's just vocalizing along to the music and the overhead mics on his kit are picking it up. He tends to make noises while he plays anyway, but in that instance it's more notable since it's during an otherwise pretty quiet section.

It's some Brazilian cunt in the crowd setting off a cuckoo.

It’s absolutely not a human voice.

If we are referring to the same sound at 5:00, why cant it be Nickos voice? Really sounds like him

As a comparison listen to this from 3:56

Nicko really shouts all the time when playing drums

 

[Trevoire]

That's almost definitely Nicko. It's going along with the hihat hits he's playing at the time.

That's the reincarnation of the mariner's albatross in different shape.
