Saw them perform this on what would be their last concert of 2020 in Portland, OR on 3/11. Superb show, never thought it be until last week for my next live show, wow.
Masterful intro. Lou was a lucky man to have a band of this caliber, basically borrowed Alice Cooper's band. Saw them live once in Portland, OR. Front of house guy didn't have a clue. Waay too loud even with quality earplugs. When the band is that good the mix is more important than volume. Otherwise amazing performance.
I think I was there, ear drums have never recovered...
Too long, really? Grow an attention span people, this song has one of the best martial inspired rock drum tracks ever laid down, an army of swirling, snarling guitars punctuated by a solo torn from Page's soul, a relentless, galloping bass line that would leave most players whimpering in submission and a tempo that builds to speed metal territory before there was even a musical category to describe it. All in one song no less!
