The first band I was ever in used to cover "I Ran." EXCEPT: we had no keyboards whatsoever, and the guitarist did not have a delay pedal, and that guitar part is TOTALLY based on delay. The lead guitarist used to MANUALLY fake a delay by hitting a note over and over with less strength each time. It was hilarious. By coincidence, sfaik, that was the first song I ever played bass on in (quasi-) public. We were playing a party gig, and our bassist went to go get a beer. I didn't really have anything much to do in that song, so I strapped on his bass and played the 3 root notes over and over.

Funny thing was, I jumped around like a maniac so it seemed like I was doing something crazy and difficult. Afterwards, some girl came up and said "I LOVE the way you play bass!"

It was then I knew I'd always play rock and roll.
