Honeyman-Scott’s role in shaping the Pretenders’ sound primarily involved adding melodic lead lines to existing songs to help tie them together. He recalled in the early days, “We did lots of rehearsing – seven days a week, all hours of the day and night. At first a lot of the licks were very heavy – like ‘Up the Neck’ started off as a reggae song. I said, ‘Let’s speed it up,’ and put in that little guitar run. The melodic parts of the numbers really all started coming together by me putting in these little runs and licks. And then Chrissie started to like pop music, and that’s why she started writing things like ‘Kid'”.
