This is just for the album version, no live comparisons.
My favorite off this album would be Stash… however as simple as it is, Magilla would not be far behind.
The Mango Song
Stash…the studio version is great.
Your hands and feet are Mangos…
You’re gonna’ be a genius anyway!
God, I love that version.
Stash rocks well, too…
Cavern maybe chalkdust…it really is a toss-up
gotta go with stash, love the guitar in that song. really fun to play too
absolutely stash. the studio version is solid and still a pleasure to listen to.
I’d have to say mango as well. I like how it is played more up tempo on the album compared to live. does anyone know of any versions played near the speed of the album?
Chalkdust. Only because of the unison line Trey and Mike play coming out of the guitar solo. Fucking brilliant.
Another tough one, but “Llama” stands out for me.
i love the “pitched down” sound on chalkdust…
trey’s voice is killer!!
i’m assuming the pitch it was recorded in was just too high for ‘the boys’ likeing…i agree…pitched down is the SHIT!! trey sounds so sinister…
THis is a tough one because a Picture of Nectar is an AMAZING album…its a tie between 4 songs,
Tweezer, Mango, Chalkdust and Cavern.
by the way, what are they even talking about in the Mango Song? Is it supposed to just be all nuts, I mean thats why I love it, but I was just wondering…
-Marianne
llama.
I have always taken Mango to be about a waiter with a heroin problem.
Have to say Chalk Dust. It is just a straight forward rocker, and I love that.
Just got this album finally, yesterday…after just one listen I would have to say that the Chalkdust really impressed the hell out of me…I was just happy to read the lyrics along with it, and be like “really? That’s what he’s been saying”…same with Llama and Stash I suppose…but that Chalkdust kicks some major ass.
Landlady, then Stash probably.
llama. song kicks ass, lots of energy
Mango and catapult>tweeprise
stash is great! the jam in it, i read somewhere cactus saying, was pretty much all improv. i will also go with tweezer.
probably have to go with cavern,
“whatever you do take care of your shoes”
