supersonic's killer bridge

edited August 2009 in The Porch
god damn! i would love to hear them extend that and jam out a bit more on it live. i love its leanness, but i want just a little more. i guess i always do, but that's an entirely different thread.

    It is awesome-- the greatest 20 seconds out of any of the album I've heard so far. They should extend this in concert and let Mike rip it up a little more, and let Stone keep goin with that dirty funk riff.

  • Just got the 45 in the mail today and finally spun "Supersonic."

    This is just a classic Stone Gossard song. Weird chord structure and rhythm with a riffy breakdown that sounds like something left over from the Mother Love Bone era.

  • i think i take myself too seriously. i feel kinda guilty for liking supersonic so much. it's too damn feel-good and catchy. :oops:

    I come from a time (I'm 47 years old) when big riffs were the rule. Examples to name a few, would include:

    The Ocean, Heartbreaker - Zeppelin
    Sweet Leaf, Iron Man, Supernaut - Sabbath
    Can you hear me knocking - Stones
    Smoke on the water, Burn - Deep Purple
    Sick Again - Aerosmith

    I am very much pleased to hear this passage/bridge in Supersonic which has the characteristics of these big 1970's riffs. A really big sound that gives me that "feeling" like when I used to unwrap the plastic (which had the $7.99 pricetag) and spin the vinyl in the 70's.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    It's incredible. We haven't heard a guitar riff that rocking and funky from PJ in 15 years ("Satan's Bed" maybe?).
    I gave up hoping PJ would make riffage like that 10 years ago. What a great surprise to hear it return!
