Howdy Ranchers,
It’s that time again, three more deep reaches to the back of the IC barn.
We start off EP7 with another of ChiPs’ wall-of-sound demos. If memory serves, this version of The Longpigs “On and On” was intended for LP2 – but slipped through the net. I like this a lot but I really need to have a word with ChiPs, in what planet is Todd Rundgren country?
“Monkey Gone to Heaven” sees CHiPs once again take the lead in our private war as to who gets to a particular band first. He’d already done “Here Comes Your Man” you see. I’m so pleased you get to hear this though. It’s always the same when I start investigating a new tuning – this is Open D – the first thing I do always turns out nicely and then… that’s the end of it.
Finally is The Swede’s demo for Jesus Jones’ International Bright Thing. Typically simple but oven ready demo from the Black Country Kenny Rodgers. I always enjoy playing this one live, although we decided to have a stop-start guitar solo before the middle 8 which I’d estimate I get through with no f*ck ups once in every 5 attempts.
Next time friends
Take care, Doc x
