Joker & the Thief
The fist-pumping stadium riff from Wolfmother's 2005 debut. Andrew Stockdale tracked it on his own '73 Gibson SG through a Green Russian Big Muff into a wall of vintage amps that producer Dave Sardy switched per section at Sound City -- and Stockdale himself names the Hiwatt feedback you hear on this song. Huge, fuzzy, and gloriously '70s, with a phaser sweetening the intro. Standard E.
