He has used it often on stage over the years.

If it is as reliable and indestructible as its bass siibling, it will easily outlive him ...

Even as a little kid who knew nothing about musical instruments, I loved the guitar intro to that song. That and the title were enough to fascinate me.

I've been hearing this for some time, and it sticks in my head...but since all the only lyrics I can understand are "I'm Just a Girl" it took me a while to Google it.  I looked up the lyrics and I think they're fantastic.  I wish groups would mix their stuff so the lyrics are actually audible.  Of course, I've been complaining about that for 50 years.

This probably has the best guitar hook that I've heard in years.  For me it's a real ear worm.

But Mark, it's a bit lifeless, ain't it? They've taken all the CCR vibe out of it.

Also good for reminding us how great a singer Allan Clarke was. Not everyone is, some people's voices can be real theatres of pain. I saw the Hollies live in my hometown around 1977 (classic line up, Hicks/Clarke/Sylvester) kind of wondering what to expect and they were lovely and note-perfect. LCW was their final encore and they really brought the house down with it.

But aren't you a little belated as a No Doubt fan, nor really their core audience?  ;) Alas!, never underestimate the long term effects of an attractive waistline  on best agers ...

Their music was never dumb and had its appeal especially with women, but Gwen's voice never did much for me and her artificial looks only reinforced that with me - too platinum blond, too thinned out eyebrows, too much make-up, too everything. Good bassist though. The riff is unfortunately too major-y for me, my dark brooding Yuropean Seele prefers minor-y riffs.

I once played with a girl singer in the 90ies who loved everything Stefani sang, she matched her vocal style, but - unlike Stefani - she herself was totally unable to create a vocal melody over a few chords, not one note - we'd spend hours in the rehearsal room playing things to her. It was baffling. She needed precise guide vocals for everything.

Leave it to Uwe to find an album with Graham Bonnet AND Joseph L. Turner singing on it.  ;D

I'm generally not a fan of Billy Sherwood productions, but this sounds pretty good. Putting the drums in 4/4 on the Gabriel tune adds some interest, but I think the song suffers for it.

 Getting rid of the original bass line is actually why I like this, well the snarly guitar too. I have no problem with the original, but I like this as an update.

This kills the CCR vibe, I like it no so much. Even a Ricky can't save it.
