[COLOR=#999966]B&N.com:[/COLOR] Do you ever get sick of playing "Born Slippy"?
[COLOR=#999966]RS:[/COLOR] No! There was a period three or four years ago when I was sick of it, and Karl said, If you went to see James Brown, you'd want him to do "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" -- how would you feel if he didn't do it? Because we jam, it becomes a thing to be manipulated and fooled with, and it changes every night enough to keep us happy. When you see 40,000 people go completely mental as you drop a chord in, it's hard not to just think, This is great! Whatever you're feeling about it as a piece of art, it's incredibly satisfying.



my guess? odds are you'll be hearing it at every underworld show




thanks for this... yeah, i guess i'd be bummed if they didn't play it. I was really just wondering if on some rare occasion, NUXX wasn't performed. Unlikely, as their solo performances, being longer are likely to include more tracks and why drop Nuxx if you have the time and the fans to play it, and shorter festival gigs tend to get right to the hits.
