    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. . .
