Texturas75 There was another guitarist that played in the band before they got their record deal and left shortly after recording started on their first album. Rivers decided to scrap whatever guitar parts had been recorded and re recorded the lead and rhythm parts himself. Brian Bell was accepted into the band half way through recording and the band deemed it not enough time to learn to play the songs properly.

They played it extra fast in an attempt to get to the song's climax before the credits were over at 1 minute 30 seconds. :)

I didn't know Velma played guitar

definitive live performance of this song
