Playing clip of WFS - Howard a huge fan. Howard is humming the riff.

"This is an incredible fucking song"

Howard thought Mike wrote the riff. Mike thought Stone and Jeff did. Stone admits Ed and Watt did.

Amazing
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

This will be fun to watch once they post the video. I want to see Ed playing that riff he just played. And the song is def about Stevie Wonder.

Howard puts Ed on the spot to play the riff he had, much to Ed chagrin it seems

Sounds like Ed doesn't play guitar on WFS... Said something along the lines of passing the riff along.

Mike took guitar lessons for one year when he was 12. Then started playing in band after that. Learned from other musicians in the bands he was playing in.


Learning how to read music now.



Howard can’t believe he doesn’t know how to read music.

It must be Watt's riff on the record, then. If they went with Ed's similar riff from way back in the day he'd know it 100%.

Hard to say. Ed said he was having hard time remembering. He was out on spot. Ed was like it’s gonna take me a long time to remember and Howard said no take your time. Got a little awkward
