I had tapes of live shows and I went through them and found a point where the bass drum was hit and you can’t hear anything else, so that’s my bass drum. And oh, here’s a guitar part where he plays a note very distinctly and you can’t hear anything else. So, all of the guitar parts and the singing and everything else is all pieced together note by note. . 9 September 2021.
