One of my favorite pieces of music journalism
Buoyed up by their freak occurrence US Top 20 teen hit versh of 'Summertime Blues', the rest of this first LP wedded the Cheer's brutally tough soul and blues rhythm section to Leigh Stephens' inordinately disconnected take on the role of the modern lead guitarist, almost every solo commencing as though the guitarist had been caught on tape actually in the act of Giving Up Guitar Playing. Chaos ensues every time his turn comes, as Stephens' inner demons force him through the solo ("Come on Leigh, you daft tripping c*nt, you can give up guitar after this one final assault").
- Julian Cope
"pretty good" is my go to phrase
"almost every solo commencing as though the guitarist had been caught on tape actually in the act of Giving Up Guitar Playing"

Also it should be noted Cope was speaking very positively of that Blue Cheer record. Out of context it may seem like a jab
