Both great songs but I know that Extreme album so well I'd never mistake them!
Me too.
I've never mistaken
any of these; I have an exceptionally good ear for the minutest details. The thread title just made me think of those 2 songs, because every time I hear the intro to
Cupid's Dead, I start to hear in my head, the opening notes to
Hard To Handle. But I've never thought it was the other song.
Back in the day when Heart was still on Mushroom Records,
Magazine was recalled shortly after its release, but not before the song
Heartless was being played on the radio. Once the new label version was released, and started to get airplay, I actually noticed a very slight difference in the vocals. It turned out, I later learned, they had to rerecord those vocals.
You can probably imagine how close to being exactly the same they were- same singer, singing the tracks again, and only shortly after they were originally recorded- and they
were very close. (I later compared them.) But I knew the nuances so well, that I could hear
something was different, even if I didn't know
what it was, yet.
I say that to yes, pat myself on the back, so to speak.
I honestly wish my fingers were as good as my ear is, naturally, and didn't require so much work!
