_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ Well, my tuner's down there.
Okay.
[D#] But this is good enough for you guys.
Yeah, it's good. _
I'm not picky, [A] obviously.
All right, so what I wanted to [D] ask, so _ Alien Attack, _ _ _ _
[E] what happened?
Yeah, so I had bought a little kit.
_ _ _ It was a flanger.
Some local _ electronics technician _ put it together for me,
and it was a really cool sounding flanger.
It was very analog.
_ And that was the_ _
_ So _ _ [B] there's a little bit of flanging on there.
_ It's _ _ the.sound. _ And this flanger sounded great, and used that in Barracuda. We're down at K Smith Studios [E] recording Barracuda. _ [N] _ We've been at it for hours and hours, and we're really taking our time with this song because we know it's a hit song, or we believe it's a hit song. And at some point, I had my guitar on, and I reached behind my amp to do something, and it went_ _ _ It starts making this wild sound, and I realized that it's the proximity of the guitar to the tubes and the flanger all working together to make this wacky sound. And so then I [A] thought, well, geez, what if I took this out and just used _ the quarter-inch foam plug? _ _ And sure enough, then you really had control over it. So I'm making this sound, and everyone's just kind of freaking out a little bit, and Mike Flicker said, Hey, we got to use that on the end of the song. And he said, I got to write this down. What are we going to call it? I said, how about Alien Attack? _ _ So that's using the lead towards the end of the song? Yeah, that's near the end of Barracuda. _ [N] And we had to record it several times _ because he wanted to get it when it was at the apex of its_ _ And that is going to come in right there, and then it's going to sync up perfectly in a certain way with the song. And so it took like 5 or 6 tries, and boom, there we got it. Okay, cool. Yeah. So how do you reproduce that when you're playing it live or you don't bother? _ I don't give a shit. _ _ _ I'm not going to reproduce that. I mean, you know, I'm just not the kind of person that's going to worry about a detail like that. In the future sometime, like if there was a Hart reunion, I would say that we would have to have the Alien Attack in there. Okay, okay. Live you didn't try and redo that on stage. It sounded really difficult. _ Nah, nah, nah. You know, I could have. I never thought to do that. Go back behind the guitar and, you know_ How did that song again come together? The beginning of that song is like the most iconic _ _ _ beginnings you can have. Can you tell us about how that works? Sure. One of the hard things about being on the road is _ it's _ often difficult to find _ time to practice and grow. And to feel [Em] yourself _ stagnating is really, you know, it's not pleasant. It's not something a musician likes to do. And so me and Deroger would go down to Soundchecks [G] and much to the chagrin of probably some of the people there, we would just, you know, wail. And _ we could do that [G#] for maybe an hour and a half, two hours, depending on circumstances of the gig and the day and how far they'd gotten set up. This one day we had this lick. [E] Like I was just going_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ [G] Oh, [E] that sounds cool. And we were just horsing around and horsing around and we both liked_ [G] _ _ Oh, [N] yeah, that sounds cool. And so _ my brother comes running up to the stage and he says, What is that, you guys? And oh, we're just horsing around like we do every day. I mean, free association with music and it's not recorded and it's not remembered and boom, it's gone. He says, Don't forget that. You need to write a song using that. [Am] And if he hadn't said that, it would have been one of [E] those things that was just gone. Wow. _ Thank you, Michael. Yeah, thank you, Michael. And so we carried it on. Oh, [G] _ yeah. _ _ _ [E] Oh, _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [E] yeah. _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ [N] So Mike _ recorded _ probably on a cassette _ _ our extremely rough draft of it, and he had that with him. _ And one of the next gigs was Detroit. _ _ And some of the record company people that are hired because of their expertise working with the lower world, _ and _ _ Ann and Nance, well, we all experienced one of these guys this particular day, and_ _ God, he just said everything that he shouldn't have said to Ann and Nance. It was so disgusting. It was really [A] disgusting. So Ann was really pissed off, and she went up to her room and she was just furious. _ _ And Mike said, you know what, you should take that energy you've got right now and write a song with it. Oh, listen to this. You know, the reason the song was written was because of Michael Fisher. _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
