Roky in an informal, unplugged b&w setting - thanks to YouTuber meatrobot for informing me that it was recorder on June 1, 1983, by Roky's mother Evelyn at her house in Austin, Tx.

Parts 2 and 3 are on here too.

This is incredible. Sometimes I get so jaded about music and such, then I see/hear something like this and I'm in love again. I always knew Roky was a badass but this mind#$%*ed me. Amazing.

Pop music, commercial or whatever, should always strive for this.

Roky aint insane, he's exceeded our level of understanding. He's a breed ofhis own, and his mind has been enveloped by creativity. Got bored with the munedane reality and started creating his own reality to spice things up.

I somehow get a feeling that both the Foo Fighters and Bonnie Prince Billy have heard this song at some early stage in their artistic development.

I'm sure that Rocky would have been keen enough to have a tuned guitar... if they hadn't stuck wires in his brain.
