I don't know if I've ever heard such good guitar soloing and interplaying between obvious masters. I'm blown away. This whole band are all incredible.

I don't know how many people realize that this song is *COMPLETELY DRIVEN* by the bass line. . If that fails, the whole song fails. . . BIG TIME!! In this case, it's SPOT-ON! This guy nails it. . .
@Twobarpsi 9 ай бұрын
Not easy to play, plus you need that octave pedal to get the sound. This guy nailed it.

That snare sound tho. Holy crap I love that.
@RichieCastellano 7 жыл бұрын
Here's a fun secret. When I got these tracks from the club, they forgot to record the snare mic! So this snare sound is a combination of the room mics, hi-hat mic and floor tom mic, heavily processed and automated. It was a pain in the butt, but the result was worth it!
@Twominutedevotions 7 жыл бұрын
It reminds me of a combination of Led Zep and Eminence Front by The Who in the sense that you don't hear the depth of the drum on every hit like you do with a Van Halen record, but when you hear it, it pops and gives that deep satisfying thud sound. Really awesome salvaging job!
