Flyin The Flannel by FIREHOSE: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Flyin' the Flannel" by fIREHOSE is a prime example of the band's post-punk sound, featuring tight, angular guitar work by Ed Crawford. The song showcases the band's signature blend of punk energy and jazz-influenced rhythms, with Mike Watt's driving bass lines anchoring the track. The use of dissonant chords and unconventional song structures adds to the song's off-kilter charm. Produced by the legendary Donnell Cameron, the track is a standout on the band's 1991 album of the same name.
