This song is the only rocker I’m aware of by the motels. Pretty good song. Has some uncharacteristically pyrotechnic guitar. For a reason I don’t recall, the MOR studio legend Waddy Wachtel was brought in. Waddy says he’d been trolling the clubs checking out the new metal bands of 1981-2, picking up new sounds. Prolly a lot of Randy Rhoads and Mick Mars. So he decided to play like that on this recording. Waddy Wachtel playing like Randy Rhoads and Mick Mars. I’m not a guitar player but it sounds to me like he adapted well.
