Gary can really make a guitar sing!

[@donjohnson5172]

Was it Garry playing during the solo of this one? Right after Ronnie says "here it comes". I know that different guys would solo on different parts of songs. That little solo on this song (this version on particular) is fucking sick. I can't help myself and I turn the volume all the way up every time It comes.

[@jonathanabbott8579]

It's Gary on this one primarily, as was usual on Saturday Night. He really is the signature sound of the band.

[@robert.m4676]

Personally I like Allen but it takes both Gary and Allen’s playing to make the first album which is easily their best. Ed king only played guitar on one song on pronounced. Ed really didn’t play bass very well so when the second album came time he was involved a lot more. But Gary and Allen were always bouncing off each other. No Allen or no Gary it’s a completely different band.
