This is also the Chicago Bears Theme Song

Severe typo?

It says in this article that the guitar / bass is tuned slightly high, "though this may not be intentional", then stating that the song was actually sped up, and the high pitch has NOTHING whatsoever to do with guitar tuning. So, yeah... I'm going to go ahead and kind of... fix that.

I thought they tuned up slighly to be in tune with the Church bell. Hmm?

Yeah, they did. I fucking hate assholes who basically make shit up. It's fucking everywhere on this site now. How the fuck ever heard of FWTBT being 'sped up' ? 86.144.167.220 (talk) 09:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I thought I read the guitars on Ride the Lightning are tuned a 1/4th step sharp from standard due to the piano the band used for tuning it was out of tune. 68.82.206.176 (talk)

From what I have heard, the whole song is a bit higher due to the post production. It is quiet common that the key is changes in the final mix because the tapes gets worn out under the mixing process. This however was rarely a problem in the 80's, but very common in 70's. Try and play a standard tuned guitar along with an early AC/DC song for example...

"No solo"

No solo? 80.230.151.180 (talk) 10:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know where that came from. At the end of the song you can clearly hear a whammy solo that continues until the fade out.153.104.182.89 (talk) 13:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Plagiarism

The ending of Black Sabbath's Fairies Wear Boots seems to inspire portion of For Whom The Bell Tolls. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tastes like lead (talk • contribs) 08:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

And the opening riff was definitely borrowed from Jethro Tull's "Sweet Dream". Ledpoison1 (talk) 13:26, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Dave Mustaine LOL

The article claims "Former guitarist of Metallica, Dave Mustaine, (later of Megadeth) returned to the band to play Bell on this track." I suspect this to be a lie of sorts, lmao —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.238.31 (talk) 12:05, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
