[carthagepropaganda]

sounds like a cover of 'Melody' by Serge Gainsbourg :D

still a cool song

Love that drummer! He does some great fills near the end and plays like a madman! ;-)

I read that Midnite Vultures was his homage to Prince, but seeing him channel Prince in that performance of Nicotine and Gravy is truly amazing.

after the fridays nightshift, i always walk at home, with a lil sticky lit, and this song(the first one) on my phones.... dont be mad at me but the IMO studio-version sounds like three times better

@Alecthekeyboardist like when i put dub side of the moon on at work and everyone freaked out, they couldnt understand it, even though every note was reproduced perfectly just in a different style

@mathivi -- Could not agree more, that orchestrated anthem seriously gives me the chills. Great example of a track you must listen to with high quality speakers or headphones, its beautiful really.

@GravesOfTheFathers I think the guitar is just fine, thanks.

[Alecthekeyboardist]

@GravesOfTheFathers You must not realize the difference between covering and interpretation. They didn't "do" anything to it, they took how it made them feel and expressed it how they felt was right. It was more homage to the original than anything else. I'm curious as to if your distaste is towards the album of choice or its sonic properties, if you will.
