Sophisticated Bitch (Public Enemy)

[Myk]

I should know this one but... what's the original guitar score being used in this tune ??

Sounds like Spandau or Duran Duran to me pitched right down, probably not though.

was it definatly a sample - didn't they get a guitarist to "lay down some licks" for em - maybe someone well know (in guitar circles) :confused:

as written by chuck d

"PUBLIC ENEMY’S 1987 YO BUM RUSH THE SHOW was blueprinted from RAISING HELL and underrated guitar supreme VERNON REID (of LIVING COLOR fame) was commissioned by PE producer MR. BILL STEPHNEY to play on the SOPHISTICATED BITCH track."

So I'm guessing they werent samples even if they sound like somet else

The LP cover notes say:

Guitars - Vernon Reid & Bill Stephney
