 Tuned down 1/2-step


 Comments: I never was, nor am now, a fan of Hot in the shade; sure there


 were a few decent songs but as a whole I didn't like it much. That's why


 I love this song. The first time I heard it was when MTV showed the video


 and I flipped. Gene was back in killer form and the riffs were not of this


 earth. This was indeed a Revenge worth the wait. The song is characteristic


 for its lack of full power chords; there are plenty of little diads and


 octaves but very few three-note chords. Nevertheless it creates a very big


 sound due to the guitars and bass often playing in unison for the riffs.


 Look out for the wonderfully strange 7 against 4 feel at the end of the solo.


 And the solo is just right for this song: it screams, stings, spits and moans.


 I was very happy to see Bruce go the more conventional blues box route on


 this album (although this doesn't exactly fit that bill), I think it fits


 him better than the 80's style guitar-hero antics he often got caught up


 iin before. Oh, the E's in Rhy. Figs 1a and 1b are semi-harmonics. And,


 there's an extremely obnoxious guitar (I've never heard such over the top,


 bee-buzz-like distorsion before) that doubles some of the diads. Put on


 headphones and prepared to be stunned.
