JohnSlade07 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Cheers mate. I've got to learn that for a wedding so you've saved me a lot of time. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Our band has been having a crack at this. Can't get it to sound right though. It's one of those songs that sounds dead simple until you listen carefully and realise that there's loads in it. Somebody was telling me that the Kings of Leon can't play it live either though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer61 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Arrrgh, this isn't right. There's no dots and numbers, can't you write music properly!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytania Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yep, that's right. I had the tempo at 130 and of course standard notation can't really show the slides. New band has suddenly decided _not_ to do this one after I learnt it for them :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKenrick Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks for all the responses guys, its good to know that this kind of stuff is appreciated There are now a few more transcriptions on my blog site (the link is in my sig.), with more hopefully being added as the weeks go by. If anyone has any specific requests then let me know and I'll do my best to transcribe them. cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJ Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 This is a simple but hugely effective song guaranteed to get the most obstinate of audiences tapping their feet. The secret seems to be to 'really go for it' live, you cant afford to lay back or it'll sound lifeless. Same with Sex on Fire, its got to be driven along imho.

JapanAxe Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Zombie thread time! This is not a technically difficult song to play on bass, but does anyone else think the drums in the 'oh-oh' bit are off-putting? That snare is all over the place!

Oopsdabassist Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yup all the off beat snare stuff was driving our drummer wild, didn't help the singer was using the snare as his cue lol. Drummer ended up simplifying a bit and we got through it a few times before I decided my woah woahs on BV's sounded so naff we decided to bin it. If I could just persuade the rest of the buggers to do BV's as well, we might be cookin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously depped with the same band on guitar without a problem, so I think the drummer may have 'rationalised' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKenrick Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 It seems I only ever get to gig this tune a couple of times a year - would much rather play it than 'Sex On Fire'... And yeah, the BVs sound pretty awful unless everyone gets on board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I do have a Boss vocal synth pedal thingy which can add harmonies, but even so, all it does is intensify my wailing! I agree though, much rather this than sex on fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I've read that KOL dont use a click track or any metering at all which gives it 'that feeling', it also makes doing covers a bit of a feel thing ime. Some nice transcriptions there too, I will be back Edited August 26, 2014 by stingrayPete1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
