Girl Gone Bad

Eddie used a 1958 Gibson "Flying V" guitar to record this song, from the 1984 album. He used the same guitar to record Hot for Teacher.

Eddie got the inspiration for the song's main riff while on tour in South America in 1983. Not wanting to wake his sleeping wife while in their hotel room, he slipped into the closet and hummed the riff into a pocket cassette recorder. The band premiered an instrumental version of the song at the 1983 Us Festival.
