Some classic Foo'ies. One of my favourite tracks from this album! About 10 years ago, a mate brought me an Ace Tone FM-1 vintage fuzz that he'd inherited from his Grandpa, and that needed some T.L.C. After a quick solder job on the footswitch…
Now I think the random-o-meter is just picking songs from the aforementioned set list. We did a very punky, chunky, 'tribute' version of this early 90's classic. It wasn't actually that much of a stretch as the song has good bones with all its…
