However, the guitars and drums sound great from a production perspective so Paul deserves credit for his part in the making of this. Andy played the rhythm guitar part on Nicodemus and George played the Ice Maiden. George was requested to use considerably less dirt on the recording than he used live which disappointed him at the time. The original sound and live sound for this was utterly filthy. When Rough Terrain played this live, if Jerry was late getting to the mic with his backing vocal in the chorus it sounded like the band were singing “I’m a two timer.” The key for this song is F# minor.
