Nirvana - Return Of The Rat (Guitar Cover)

Описание

As a tribute to the Portland punk pioneers, Nirvana were invited to take one side of the 7-inch box set Eight Songs for Greg Sage and the Wipers, joining covers by Hole, Poison Idea, and Napalm Beach. According to Thor Lindsay, who founded the label that put out the comp, Cobain originally wanted to submit the band's already recorded Wipers cover "D-7," which they had done for John Peel, but Nirvana's label complicated the licensing. So Cobain said, "Fuck it, I'll record another track," and, in Lindsay's words, "basically a DAT tape turned up with 'Return of the Rat' on it." Session engineer Barrett Jones said the group recorded the track along with "Oh, the Guilt" and "Curmudgeon" in one or two takes. More impressive is Jones's claim that they had never even played it before.

Tuning: Half step down

Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang, Boss DS-1 and Fender Mustang IV amp.

Lyrics:
You better watch out
You better beware
They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Oh, no no no
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Oh, no no no no no no no

They better confess
Well they better confess
They started this mess, I know, I've seen them do it
They better confess

Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Return of the rat
Oh, no no no no no no no
