"Sex Kills" is not a song that should be orchestrated. Bad call. I enjoyed her live performances on the '98 tour with Blade pushing the pace of the song a bit. It's one that should be loud and fast, with the words "spit out" (as Joni says about Tim Curry's take on "Cold Blue Steel...")
Coincidentally, the first song that Joni played live with her VG8 was Sex Kills, and she used the heavy metal mode or whatever it's called, the same sound she uses in lead balloon. Anyway, it's a good effect. I also liked the version we heard in Nawlins...help me out Michael, who did that one? Bob NP: Little Feat, "rock and roll everynight"
