Words & music by Wanman Shau.

Joe – ‘Mad is a very simple sounding rock song. However Mad is not as straight-forward as say a 12 bar but, we’ll let you figure it out (for fun – no big prizes though).

I was about to head home after our Friday morning session – Tony was getting final cup of coffee for us when, I came up with a bassey riff and chords. I said to Tony, “this might sound good if you were to use same riff on bass – that should really heavy it up”. No problem to Tony.

I wrote lyrics during the week (they needed to be simple and they are), I put the vocals and guitar down the following Fri. Tony took over and polished it up from there (see below ).’

Tony – ‘We had just finished Love If I Could and Joe was playing around with the riff for this. He put down a few minutes of it as a guide to work over during the week. The next Friday we set up and got going quickly on it. Joe put down the rhythm over a drum beat, then I did the bass, then came vocals and lead. Nearly there. Later that evening I finished the drums and re did the bass with a punchier heavier sound and only introduced the riff on the bass after intro. Standard Bassist trick! Did a couple of mixes, sent it to Joe, played it loud on the big speakers, took it for a 50 mile drive in the car in the mountains, gave it the iPod test. Yep, another cool track.’
