One of the best of teh studio tracks from ALIVE II!. Bob Kulick plays lead
guitar on this one. They do try to make him play ACE-type licks, but if you
know ACE's playing, you KNOW it's not him. Regardless Bob does some good
work on this one. Using Trills (with a whammy bar and without), Bends, and
some copped Ace licks to get this done... Well done. As for Paul, his
rhythm work is superb, throwing in some overdubbed fills to make this song
move.. Enjoy!
