Rick: The Badfinger hit, "No Matter What," was originally rejected. What did the group do to change it so it landed in the No Dice album?
Joey: You know, it was the third song we recorded as Badfinger. The original take on it, I did a slayer guitar solo on it and you know just duplicate [Joey sings a guitar impression] and just bending the notes up and down. When we went to mix it over at Abbey Road, I picked up a lap steel that was sitting there. And we decided to try the lap steel for the solo, and so I played lap steel on it.
Joey: That's what that is, the guitar is lap steel. played slide guitar on the record. That was the only real difference between the original version and the actual record that came out. It was the same take and everything, the same back track, the same vocals and everything, but it had the slide guitar solo on it.
