One more interesting bit about this song and it being in open G. Open G was a Keef thang and a great number of Stones songs are in that tuning. It's common knowledge that Ace was/is a huge fan of The Stones and Keith Richards. They covered 2000 man on one of the last Kiss albums Ace played on. Dynasty I think ( my first rock concert by the way, October 2, 1979 at the old Checkerdome, touring on that album. John Cougar opened and was booed continually until he left the stage). Roger Waters learned the open G tuning from Keef, hence it's use on Fearless ( Yes Roger wrote that even though it's Gilmour playing it on the record).

For me anyway, when I tune a guitar to open G and start noodling around, those two songs immediately strike my mind and it's impossible not to play them. Both are relatively simple riffs and took me less than a few seconds to pick out.

Now I'm feeling the need to dust off some of my old albums...maybe tomorrow :cool:

I wish I still had all my vinyl and my hi-fi system. Unfortunately I am trapped in digital file hell these days. Oh well, at least ALL my amps are tube amps and old as hell.

Most of mine has been damaged in moves, but I have a few left kicking around somewhere, and a turntable that badly needs a new stylus. I'm afraid most of what I have left is the digital file hell stuff. I suppose it's better than nothing.. 😒
 
This song in the 8 track player in this car kept me in trouble with the police.lol

I was playing Stealing when I shoulda been buying in a band before I ever heard the song. When I was very young I was tapped to play bass with some older guys. Other songs I played live before ever hearing them were No One At The Bridge by Rush, No Sugar Tonight by The Guess Who and Bad Time by Grand Funk Railroad. Basslines shown to me by a guitar player and heavily improvised by me. Only later did I bother to learn them the correct way.

I used to go see every band that came here back in the 70's, Kiss put on the best show of all that i can remember. back then it wasn't but 4 bucks to see a show. think it got to about 12 bucks before life happened and i stopped going. this was my favorite Wishbone ash song.

I was heavily influenced by bassists like this. Turner, Geezer, Geddy, Chris Squire and later John Paul Jones, Jack Bruce and John Entwhistle. Most people wouldn't call Cream, Zeppelin or The Who "Progressive" bands but their bass players sure as hell were.
 
Husky woke me up today. Wanted to go out and then wanted food. That done, made some coffee and a small breakfast. Nothing much to do today. Should go to gravel pit but really not in the mood. After Maggies walks guess I will read and then watch some football.

WA was the first big concert I went to. It was loud, but so clean. I prefer the Errors song from the first Live Dates album. It's funny how one version of a song appeals to me more than others do.
