It’s the album version

I prefer Zender's. The slap at the chorus, the P-ish sound from his warwick and the overall feeling of the fills are more adecuate i think...

I "grew up" with the album version, so that's the one for me. Whenever I put on the High Times compilation, I swap out the Zender version for the "real one". To each their own...

I just came across this topic today, this mistery has been solved couples of months ago but i think it should be good to keep those infos safe here:
