Hey there -
with all due respect to the topic of "Halo"......spoke briefly w/Buzz @ the NYC show...a gentleman in all respects......Jello was anxious to do it, but Buzz explained quite simply it's a complex tune that Dave Stone has still not completely worked through on bass...Dave used to play the 2nd guitar part back when Kevin was playing bass, but as I'm sure you can all appreciate, the bass part is an entirely different beast. Jello said Buzz expressed concern that attempting the tune at this point might even throw his guitar arrangement off a bit, w/respect to Dave still fine-tuning his bass part....I get the feeling Buzz simply wants to make sure the band is firing on all cylinders with the tune when they finally unleash it. Perfectly understandable to me, anyway. Perhaps just reserved for sound checks now? Maybe as the tour progresses it'll work it's way into the set...no doubt 'Jelvins' love the tune, and appreciate the fact that so many fans are jonesing to hear them pound it out! I know I am.......but remember, great things are often worth waiting for! Then again, that was Sunday...maybe they've worked it out by now! peace.....
