The key to Heavy Metal.

Anybody got a wing?

Hey, Buffalo, what about you?

The Mother of " mercy " now that was a great one for sure : )

As if Steve understood a word of what Opus was saying.

I don’t see ’gentle vibrato ’ coming from Bill.

Opus obviously is a devotee of what Neil Sedaka refers to as the “drop dead chord.”

“Mutha”

Don’t shoot it directly, just wing it.

My memory isn’t what it was, but didn’t “Demon Drooler of the Sewer” make No.1 on the hit parade?

“Oh, and Opus, drop that Brown Note in the third verse…”

A lot of hit recordings have probably been created exactly that way.

No vocal harmonies are needed. Just scream at the top of your lungs

Steve says just wing it? While talking to a flightless bird?

Steve actually is giving good advice, for a heavy-metal band featuring tuba. And Opus relays to the boys: “Just wing that mother!”

Sheer artistic elegance….
