Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Hey there folks. The other day my friend Chris came over and we got a case of Budweiser and jammed out a bunch of songs for a few hours. At many points we didn't know what to play and some how we ended up playing this version of Pretty Woman (soundcloud.com) that I don't think has ever been heard like this before.

Thats Marilyn Manson sweet dreams on the guitar riff. Works tho.

Yeah, the mash up seemed to fit nicely though so we went with it

Man that sounds cool. Gotta change some of them lyrics to pretty woman fuck you bitch to match the depressing kinda riff. The drummer would have a ball on that one.

So that's Marilyn Manson eh? I always dug that riff.

He needs some work, but he has potential.

The drummer.

Nope, it doesn't sound like Roy Orbison at all. (Yes, he was the original artist, I'm pretty sure.)

Roy wrote that song, yes indeed

I think he mostly did goat roping music, so I'm not sure how this ended up in the pop charts. Either way, it did and it was.

Roy Orbison was writing with his songwriting partner Bill Dees at his house when he told Dees to get started writing by playing anything that came to mind. Orbison's wife Claudette came in and said she was going to go into town to buy something. Orbison asked if she needed any money, and Dees cracked, "Pretty woman never needs any money." Inspired, Orbison started singing, "Pretty woman walking down the street." Bill Dees recalls: "He sang it while I was banging my hand down on the table and by the time she returned we had the song. I love the song. From the moment that the rhythm started, I could hear the heels clicking on the pavement, click, click, the pretty woman walking down the street, in a yellow skirt and red shoes. We wrote Oh Pretty Woman on a Friday, the next Friday we recorded it, and the next Friday it was out. It was the fastest thing I ever saw. Actually, the yeah, yeah, yeah in Oh Pretty Woman probably came from The Beatles." In the same book Bill Dees recounts how the distinctive growling cry of "Mercy" came about: "I can't do that growl like Roy, but the "Mercy" is mine. I used to say that all the time when I saw a pretty woman or had some good food. Still do."
