Ive never really tried this in Open-G tuning before, I think it came out pretty good. This is one of those songs that couldnt be written nowadays because of the subject matter and the profanity. I remember moving to Pasadena Texas as a little kid, I was a big fan of bands like The New York Dolls, The Tubes, Elton John. The kids in my school were listening to ZZ Top, Kiss, Lynyrd Skynryd. Fandango by ZZ Top came out and I was like "Who are these guys?" I never expected they would be one of my favorite bands by the time El Loco came out. Recorded on June 12, 2011 using a Flip Video camera.
