I always knew this song in the background, but never learned to play it until this week when my new band asked me to learn it for our upcoming gig.
It sounds simple but is deceptively complex! Great metal tune from 1980.
I'm working on a new set for a gig with my new cover band! No big deal, they just gave me a list of 30 6-minute songs, and most of them are long and complex like this one! So I'm off to the races to try to get them as polished as I can before the gig.
There will be lots more long 80's prog/80s metal videos coming in the next 2 weeks as I practice up for this gig! (Think Alice Cooper, Boston, Autograph, Duran Duran, Metallica, GnR, Journey, The Police, Velvet Revolver, its all in this huge 3 hour set I'm working on!)
