    Eminem said this about it, taken from Genius:
    "
    When we recorded Stan I worked with a couple different engineers but this particular engineer I had never worked with before. While we were recording the third verse of Stan, he started rolling a joint and asked me if I minded if he smoked while we cut. What was I gonna do? Say no? He was already rolling it so I told him “no problem”. Everything was cool and I had gotten all the way to the last 3 lines and I screwed up so all he had to do was punch in my vocals at the end so I could re-do that line and the verse was finished. Back then we were recording on 2 inch tape, so once you recorded over something it’s gone forever. So I’m in the booth waiting and he backs the tape up all the way to the beginning of the verse and punches me in. I realize he’s in the wrong spot and I can’t hear any of my vocals so I start waving my arms and yelling in the mic to try to get his attention. He doesn’t notice so I run into the control room through a cloud of smoke and yell “Yo, I wanted to keep those vocals” he just looked at me and said “My bad man…you wanna hit this?”

    The first half of the verse was GONE. I re-recorded it but you should have heard the original take that s--- was WAY better…oh well!"

    :emoji_scream: Oh man.
    I'm sure the original was so much better.
    I hate that engineer. He ruined the song.

    The lyrics were the exact same. The way he sounded when he recorded it was different.

    I don't get it. Yeah, they sounded dope on that particular take. What stops him from doing it over 1000 times until he gets it perfect again? He is a perfectionist so....I bet the take he used was very analogous to the one that was lost.

    He was probably completely in the zone by that point and was creating the atmosphere on the song effortlessly. And when trying to redo it exactly like the first 'perfect' take, he would of been trying TOO hard and maybe overdoing it a bit.

    Although the finished product, to us, was still f---ing incredible.

    to some people, nothing is ever as good as the first. like if you make a really good drawing and it gets ruined by something being spilled on it. you may feel the next one just isn't as good as the first one was.
