    Lou is a seriously underated player. He does a Lemmy but tighter, playing bass and rhythm at the same time, very tricky with a track like this which has such an important bass riff AND rhythm guitar line. In a trio it gives them the foundation to allow J to do his thing, and J is a considerably better and more esoteric gutarist than the late great Wurzel.

    • @lslewis
      @lslewis 4 роки тому +28

      Good point. I feel like there are two kinds of people--those that expect it to sound identical or better than the original, and those like yourself. I often think it should be a fresh take on the original if you're gonna cover it. Otherwise, why cover it, right?

    This is my favorite cover of it. I ended up with the vinyl for free sent from SST back when I had a music zine and Greg asked me to review it. One side is etched in the vinyl with various sketches of insects and junk. When they played this live at Small Planet my ears rang for days and It could barely speak from singing along. Best show ever.
