Poll question: Best use of bagpipes in popular music?
Horror ha a face, and you must make a friend of horror horror
and moral terror are your friends and they are not...
that they are your enemies the horror"

I saw Yig. Yig saw me.
We're together in dark concavity.
I saw Yig. He's so big. He smokes cigs.
Eats just like a pig.
Ooooohhhhhh! I saw Yig. I saw Yig. I saw, I saw Yig!
Yig now is shifting his gibbering mass.
He hides boils with maggots.
The pus-sac extrudes.
The horror that is Yig...
When he rapes your mind, your mind will snap like a twig.
Shaping and raping, his conscience is clear.
Infest - black death.
Spreads hate and foul cheer.
The horror, The HORROR!
Where Yig doth tread no man tread tomorrow.
Reeking death harvest of humans in hatred.
Suck on the shitbag of what you created,
What we created. Yig now in coming, Yig now is here.
Yig now he makes things impossibly queer.
Piles of maggots
Clouds of flies
Putrid breath
And bulging eyes.
Yig comes and you die, you all die.

down the aisle. (Enya for the wife, but braveheart for me and my groomsmen)

11. Thank you!
I was trying to remember the name of that band just today (not sure why). I saw him in concert back around 75-76.

4. Wait, hold up there...
Are there actual bagpipes in the Slade & Big Country tunes? I thought it was just guitars effected to sound similar to bagpipes. Been awhile since I've heard either one, so if I'm slippin' here feel free to smack me down, but I seriously don't think there are pipes on those tunes.

7. Hmmm...now I'm wondering about the studio recordings...
I saw Big Country open for Simple Minds, and they had a live piper with them, but now I think you may be right about the original Big Country recording.

But the version of Runaway I've heard has real pipes.

14. Big Country used the E-Bow.
It was a little gadget that attached like a capo(?) onto your fretboard, IIRC.
