Tonight’s mystery artists tried to master using a whip for a sound effect on one of their songs but gave up when after hours of trying they were just cut and hurt and still go crack of the whip..  Any guess who the band might be or what the song??

The song was a simple one about cowboys and sex written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, so as you might have guessed the song in question is ‘Back in the Saddle’ The song is notable for the slow buildup of the drum beat and guitar riff in the beginning, as well as the sound effects of a galloping horse and whips, and screams and yodeling by Steven Tyler at the end of the song. A real bullwhip was intended to be used for the whip effects and hours were spent trying to get it to crack. The band members ended up cut up and hurt without making any progress. Eventually, the band decided the whip effects would be created by whirling a 30-foot cord from the studio, then by firing a cap gun to create the crack of the whip.
