Default "Somebody Take Me To The Sea"...?!
I pretty much listen to the Hard Rock Calling show everyday as its one of my favourite performances. However 1 always bugs me.

Between RYH and Bad Name Jon says "Somebody take me to the sea"...its also said on a few other live tracks.

Does anyone know what on earth it means - seem really random!

(You can tell its a Sunday and i'm bored)

Cheers!

It's a reference to the key (C) that Bad Name is in.

I never thought about it like that, good call! I always wondered why they had that little build up intro most times.

Have you got any examples? Jon uses an in-ear reference note for the a capella intro to Prayer so it would be strange for them not to have used something like that prior to to free-time intro they always use for Bad Name.

Right, but practically played in C.

Isn't it just half a step? I'll admit it sound more catchy than "TAKE ME TO THE B SHARP!!"

There is no such thing as a B sharp or C flat. So yes, it would be in the key of B.
