Isn't TWO FATT GUITARS on Twitch CD#8? It seems to me that the Twitch remix doesn't have Eddie's guitar in it. That guitar really makes the song sound kinda cheesy to me. Primarily because it doesn't utilize any of Eddie's playing ability--it's just a sample of a couple of notes, all fiddled with electronically. It only preserves the "sound", and none of the "soul". If I'm remembering this right, I really like the Twitch remix. I'd sure love to hear the version Jon is talking about, though. Anyone have any ideas? Don donpierr@netcom.com
