Beasts of burden
Does anyone have much of a back story on this one. Sounds like peters famous les paul on the disc so i´m assuming its not too long after his split from fleetwwod mac.
I like it personally quite a funky dark tune. Last edited by greenmanastrat; 05-31-2010 at 03:26 PM.. Reason: grammer |

Snowy White does not play guitar on the single as some sources claim. Very much a Les Paul sound, yes. |

Say What! Oh no she di nt
Have i missed an earlier debate on this one? Lyrics are so deep thought it would provoke some opnions in my fellow greeny fans.

Oh, I thought you were after facts .
There's been no discussion of the lyrics here. Pretty angry and disillusioned. |

But very much ahead of there time if we think about enviromental causes etc the lyrics are brilliant and yes i agree very disillusioned with mankind.

Actually its a brilliant song - dare I say especially compared with what Peter was putting out around that time...

muddy track
what has always struck me is that even for that period, the recording itself left a lot to be desired. I wish, like a lot of this stuff, someone had access to the original mixes

Veggie, go green
A lot of people i always imagine identify with certain tunes, like thats it coveys a feeling that people relate too. Mostly the big hits and usually i´m no different. However i dont think i´ve ever identified my feelings any better conveyed than beasts, seriously peoples need to check this song out.
Listen to peter´s sermon, give up the lies that is society and stop treating nature and animals like raw materials. I´m seriously trying to become veggie due to the influence of this track. If peter was considered to be "mad" at this point in his life then there is no evidence in this track, just the performance itself is sublime, but after listening to the lyrics, these are words of a very intelligent and wise man.Especially at the time when there wasnt really any massive knowledge freely available about how we were and are destroying "natures paradise." What a great artist and man peter green is! Last edited by greenmanastrat; 06-19-2010 at 10:47 AM.. Reason: grammer |

It very well COULD be Peter playing a Les Paul on the recording, but when he did the song on a BBC TV program, he was playing his sunburst Strat. (the video of that is floating around on YouTube)....oh...never mind...I was thinking of "Heavy Heart", not "Beasts Of Burden".
