Happy Jack Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 The Junkyard Dogs have decided to dust off Honky Tonk Women and re-introduce it to the setlist. Happy Jack: [i]My cowbell is far deeper than the one on the record - Charlie Watts has a much higher tone with his[/i]. Paul The Drums: [i]Well, you can get cowbells of different sizes to give you different pitches[/i]. MacDaddy: [i]Maybe he's using a vealbell[/i]. Quote
gary mac Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It surprises me just how many audience members delight in the sound of a cow bell. Quite often at DefunkT gigs, there is much wooping and cheering when the cowbell is unleashed during Gaga's Bad Romance. the tin whistle causes a similar reaction in Groove is in the Heart. Quote

[/quote] Too right. One of our vocalists, Fedal, (who's also a great drummer) always introduces our cover of "Lady Marmalade" with a improvised cowbell intro. He calls it the "funkiest instrument of all time" and in his hands, he has a point. Quote

TimR Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 You can never have enough cowbell. Discussions about keyboard sounds in my old band used to go round in circles with the drummer complaining that they weren't exactly like the original. In the end we came to a compromise that we'd stick with the best of the sounds on the keyboard and make the songs slightly different sounding to the original. This worked quite well, using piano, Hammond, and strings only. However, the drummer still made passing remarks about the keys player buying a new keyboard with better sounds. Until, we did Honky Tonk Woman, when the tables were turned. "You need to buy a different cowbell, that's not what it sounds like on the record..." Then the bell at the beginning of baggy trousers... Ha! Quote

Lozz196 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Can`t remember which song it is in The Daves set, but we have re-named it Death by Cowbell for some reason. Maybe our drummer gets a tad enthusiastic cowbelling............................ Quote
