...opened with some lower register, bass string single picking, until he found a riff that pleased him. Beck also tends to work off one riff until he tires. A large, glissando chord took the band into Dylan's "Tonight I'll be Staying Here With You." Carmine Appice's vocal was strained a bit, but the guitar work brought the song off. Beck has learned to achieve a double-tracked guitar sound by working in the middle registers of his fretboard and adding some vibrato to the chords.

LPs-Love It to Death, Killer and School's Out (a free pair of bikini panties is included with that album...
