Thank you Mr Unpronounceable,
Stooges have been high on my list of fun since the early 70s.

I hear you on your first paragraph.

This is appropriately filthy, low-life rock and roll. The sound is cleaned up considerably for record, but I think it would kick live with more overtones and general noise. The progression is defiant, and shame on your first guitar-player for not getting it. Your guy here did great. Next time, a bassoon solo?

Greatly enjoyed. Hang in there.

(ps. You might want to remove the broken link.)

Thanks you Tangmo,
Dead link removed.
Nothing like some filthy Rock n Roll from a bloke in his 60s and another in his 70s!
The master is a little gnarlier but I've two done and haven't been able to decide upon which to post as yet.

Ray, breaking the "basic" rules of chord structure is a great way to come up with something that is new, interesting and unique!! I think that you did a super job with this tune! You are a very talented musician who doesn't extol his own virtues but nevertheless has skills!! Thanks, Torrey

Good tune, I especially liked the vocals, sat in very nicely and just loud enough.

Excellent tune. Shades of Nirvana. Super vocal. Loved the guitar solo. Well done. Awesome production. Love it when you can clearly identify all the instruments in the tune ..

Thanks Tunemonger,
Once I realized no one else was prepared to sing it I worked on the voz a bit and brought the level to a more appropriate volume.

Scott,
Thanks you. The guitar, played by Louisiana Steve, is a cracker - he recorded 5 versions for me in 45 minutes. I just grabbed the 1st one as I'm lazy.

Greg,
cheers for that. Unconventional is a direct result of my lack of musical knowledge.
