TrackTalk
Women
love that tune (laughs). It's funny 'cause
I made up the lyrics in the studio - likeToo Much Blood. It's almost
all the live vocal. I'm trading licks with Jeff Beck on that. I always
sing with the band, but technically the rough vocals don't always stand
up because you get so much break-through. Fortunately on She's the Boss
the band was playing quiet enough that I could use some of the original
vocal.
