Mike: Yeah, well I enjoyed that song. It kind of had a…thank you very much…it had kind of a Stonesy vibe to it too, Mick Taylor being one of my favourite guitar players around too, and I like Clapton a lot too. I think that song lent itself to playing that way, and hopefully I achieved that. We recorded it in kind of the analog sense. We actually opened up with it last night, and it's kind of a cool way to open up a show, I found. Yeah, those guys are my guitar heroes, and that kind of sound. I wanted to, when I heard Stone play it for the first time, it was like, yeah, I could just do something like that over it. And it came out pretty cool, I think.
Eddie: It's a type of recording that's called binaural recording. There's several ways to do it, whether there's two microphones clipped here [motions to both temples by ear], to not just record the instruments, but record the air around the instruments. You can hear, there's a song called Of The Girl. You know you can hear Mike's, Mike McCready's guitar. You can really feel the space of the room. That is something that you kind of miss from modern recordings, which may be done on pro tools or computer or... It's just a micing technique but I think we were successful capturing some of the moods that happened in the room by adding some of that room sound.
