Songs with Tremolo

tone1

Hi all
Just acquired a trem pedal and it's almost become my favourite effect!
Can you all recommend some songs with trem on it?

Couple of CCR I know
REM's Kenneth
I think Lenny has slight trem going on

Cheers

I don't hear any Tremolo on Lenny!



The Smiths - How Soon is Now is the track I think of for trem. OK you won't get it exact with a pedal but whack a capo on and smile.

No-one who wasn't a teenager in the 90s will remember them, but one of my favourite trem songs:

Another favourite of mine, although a little more subtle:

jpfamps

dogload

I should know loads but off the top of me head:

'Drowned' by The Bevis Frond.

'Bad Vibes' by The Black Angels

Those spring to mind for me first too. The stutter term on Kenneth has always been one of my faves. 

I can't think of anything specific, but term with a pad of sprung reverb always makes me think of surf tunes. 

Turns out one of my favourites Richard Thompson always has a little bit of tremolo to colour things. Here he is setting up an amp with old FB favourite Henry Keiser. (skip to 2:25).

Also worth catching live...seeing them again next month. The lineup has completely changed so will be interesting to see the difference.

viz

That song on pulp fiction when he's on drugs.
