Leonard Smalls Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Any bass player worth his/her salt should know "Pagan Lovesong" by the Virgin Prunes and of course the great "Der Mussolini" by Deutsche Amerikanische Freundschaft. How else could you play the 80s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1439451632' post='2842886'] It's all over the place, but IIRC the main riff is in 7/8, then it moves to 5/4 for the F#-E section and then 4/4 for the guitar solo. [/quote] Originally Walters and Gilmour said it was in 7/8. Then some years later, Gilmour said it was 7/4. They might have thought 7/8 sounded more proggy and impressive.
