Q: how many time did you rehearsed "You get what you give" with Scary Pockets? or was it all writen?
A: basically the way they were running the show at that time was to just get in the room and start working on it as quickly as possible. and then start recording as soon as possible, even before it's 'ready'. from beginning to end it was probably less than an hour, and nothing was discussed beforehand. jack was certainly in a 'quickness is king' phase at that time. as i recall, jack came at it right away with this "and-of-1" hits thing in the verse, then my first instinct was to do 4-on-the-rim (clicks on quarters) in the verse. I really wanted to do halftime for the choruses, but i was vetoed (i didn't really like the fast 2-and-4 thing in the chorus). but i think we ended up putting the halftime in the pre-chorus. the ending was my idea
