But when I got the album, it has more of a jazz feel. So I looked them up and found out that Tony Iommi produced it and that the dudes in the band were roadies for Sabbath, so I expected them to be heavier. I heard them on this compilation called Downer Rock Genocide and I was like, ‘Fuck, this song is awesome’. They’re doing it as an encore, and they had obviously never played it before because Neil stops twice during the song because he thinks a change is coming, so he fucks up a couple times. The interesting thing is that the only version of this song that exists is from a live recording from Cleveland in 1974. If I didn’t do this one, I might have gone with Anthem or Bastille Day. Of course my vocals aren’t as high, so I went for a more raspy kind of thing.

Mos Generator covered it on a Small Stone records compilation back in 2007 and I redid it for this just because I really like the song. The piano is totally different, and I had to do it by ear. It’s not like the guitar where if you play anything, I know where it is on the guitar without seeing it. I’m not a very good keyboard player, so I was like ‘Ok, I’m gonna sit down and learn this.’ Those parts took me a few hours all by themselves. Doing the piano part was a real challenge for me.

I just think it’s a beautiful song, and I really like the way the vocals were delivered. People cover Death Walks Behind You and Sleeping For Years a lot, so I wanted to go for something different, and I just really like the melodic structure of this song. This is from Death Walks Behind You and man, every song on that album is awesome. So you can flip it to one side to hear what one guitar player is doing, and then to the other to hear the other guitar. And luckily, the way they made that record is that each guitar player was recorded on opposite sides. Maybe it’s because I just never tried it before. The vocals, once again there’s some high falsetto stuff, and I was like, I can’t do that stuff. The first album just has a rawer sound and rawer guitars. There’s the age-old argument, is Argus better, or the first Wishbone Ash album? I’m a first-album guy. All these songs are songs that either moved me when I heard them or I couldn’t get them out of my head so I had to do them to stop them from looping ,around in my brain. Once again, the vocals were something I thought would be a challenge. It’s almost like a punk rock song, at times. The song is so upbeat and the way the instruments move around is so awesome. This was on there, and later on I bought the record. There was this proto-metal compilation that somebody posted online and it had at least a hundred songs on it. But I went for it, and it’s one of the vocal performances I’m most proud of. I was scared to do it because of the vocals, I was like, I don’t know if I can sing like this guy. This is my favorite song off that record, and I think I wanted to do it because my wife was really into it. We’d drive around listening to tunes and whatnot. This was another one that Henry played me. It spoke to me right off the bat, so it was a natural to open with it.įanny Adams – Ain’t No Lovin’ Left (1972)Īustralian band, the dude from this band was in the Bee Gees band. So he played that and I was like, that’s one of the coolest songs I’ve ever heard.

The first time I heard Battle, I was at a buddy of mine’s house, Henry Vasquez, he’s in St Vitus now and Blood from the Sun, he would turn me on to a lot of this stuff. The first Boomerang album is really cool. Here’s a track-by-track rundown of Chronicles of Heavy Rock, Volume 1, in Reed’s own words.
