u got Super D?

[ChrisLDog]

Naw, I got Speed Graphic and Sunny 16, but I haven't gotten Super D. It's that good huh? Maybe I'll have to pick it up, but he said something about a lot of the songs from the EPs being on the LP.

hmm Give Judy My Notice is on the new album. its redone though..

I dont believe much from Super D is gonna be on the new album.. MAYBE Rent A Cop.. but not much else..

YOU NEED THIS

GEt Your Hands Off My Woman is a brilliant piece of work.. Possibly one of his best piano moments..

[sdldawn]

Here's the tracklisting (not 100% confirmed though) of whats on it so far out of the 11 tracks

Late
Gracie
Give Judy
I've Landed
You to Thank
Time (song w/ Wierd Al)

:rock: totally agree with you. His talent is far beyond most in his genre. I've heard some live recordings of him playing bass and he is simply amazing.. and considering he did every instrument on Rock'n and most of the EP's... im very impressed.

His piano skills are above and beyond.. one of the most aggressive pianist i've seen play. Definantly knows his keys. I play piano by ear and its interesting to watch him and play his music.

Thats some SERIOUS playing on Get Your Hands Off Of My Woman... incredibly tough at that speed.

http://www.attackedbyplastic.com/ There are some samples there.. but the sample of Get Your Hands doesnt even begin to let you hear his skills.. that song rocks.
