Geof Holmes The opening riff on the A chord was written by Geof Holmes and Ian Robert Krahe wrote the counterpoint riff on the D chord that follows it in 1975. First heard in a band called Evil Roomers when they were recorded in 1977. Krahe later used the riffs in X which added the lyrics and chorus when they wrote Degenerate Boy.

Not being sarcastic but thanks for that. I do like finding out stuff like this. It drives people mad when I pull stuff like this out during conversation. Got a couple of mates in mind.

[@DaveAnchovies]

screw the crowd, theyre obviously opening for a bigger band. cant let that take away from X

[@onlydogknees]

that's the thing. It's X, but that's Melbourne for you. And I must say, last time I was there, it had a bit of an off smell, but l was in Richmond.

They didn't deserve this crowd! Hard to give your all confronted by - nothin' from the crowd.

@John H Hi, I'm probably being a prick? 😄

[@martinfrancis3733]

@John H all good here too. Take it easy

[@martinfrancis3733]

@John H Thanks for the reco'. Cheers

[@martinfrancis3733]

@John H My only life advice is - Don't let the small things get to ya, there's enough big things to remind you what life's really all about. That's it...

Shame that guitar let you down last weekend mate. Trust old Matt Black to have a collection of partscasters and frankenteles to keep Pauline's birthday on track.
