I can see where I may have confused people with my user name. For the record, luddite does not mean idiot. (Though that label does often apply to me.) A luddite is one who loathes technology. Perhaps I should now change my name to pedantic pest.

Sorry I can't help you with your question. I'm more able to assist in finding your car key, even from this distance, than finding the key to the song.

C'mon pluto or another guitar guru, help a mate out!

A Major

thanks everyone!
this is handy for me. i need to try and learn to solo if i'm gonna bring this one to Lasagne Pinata to play as part of our police set. i can pull the odd solo off but it's a lot of work for me, so now at least i can look up youtube guitar tutes for blues solo lessons in A major!

tj7 if you want i can email you some scales which would work well on demoltion man or give you some soloing ideas.

Laz is right.
It's A Mixolydian, or A Blues.
Though Andy borrowed liberally from Phrygian when they played it on the reunion tour.
