Lquote.png It was the first song Dom & I wrote together, & we'd come up with the guitar & bass parts while apart at Xmas 91, hence the name Astral Plane!! We were listening to The Doors' LA Woman a lot at the time, as well as always Hendrix.
I think we just wanted to be at Woodstock in 69 at that point, modern influences came a bit later
