I could have sworn I’ve posted this before, but a search tells me otherwise. The opening bass riff to You Can’t Quit Me Baby has been rumbling through my head for the past week; there’s something hypnotic about this section and the pre-chorus, with a wailing slide guitar echoing the background vocals. The bass is just a little ahead of the drums, which gives it a laid-back, stoned vibe. This is one of my favorite tracks on the first Queens album, and a lot of fun to play.
In related news, I received the payment for my Steinberger yesterday, quietly putting a bow on that transaction. I will say that my experience with Reverb was very positive—knowing there’s a third party helping guarantee the sale seamlessly was a huge relief.
