Always loved this song, but until I listened to it recently I had never realized how BRAZILIAN-inspired it is! Still has a pretty potent message, maybe not politically-correct enough tho' for 2011 !

@tommieparch Not. It gave respect for his great guitar playing. I'm sorry you only look for Ozzie's heavy chords. But did you listen to this guitarist? Rock is cool and Randy rocks on this. Open your ears because this song blows most guitarists away....NOT Iron Man

[redfishradical]

Randy (along with BTO) one of the most under rated rock artists ever. For anyone who may have ever had the slightest doubt this song is proof positive the man always had serious talent. Thanks for sharing, I think it's a pretty small group of us who dug-actually who even KNEW about this tune! Thanks for sharing!

Does anyone know what key this is in?

@elrip1 I gotta agree with you man!...By the way I forgot to mention Mark Farner (I guess that brings us back to your heavy blues comment.. I got what you meant....Tommy

[elrip1]

@elrip1 But you have to admit that the best who ever picked up an electric guitar and blows me away (makes me want to hang my guitar in the closet forever) is Chet Atkins and Les Paul.

Listen to those guys. Truely listen to their guitar work and holy smokes! Man oh man, sheesh! Technically, structurally, soulfully, gymnastically, instrumentally, fingerly, soundfully and everything else. Nobody compares...nobody! Get over the genre thing and listen to virtuoso. Les Paul & Chet.

@tommieparch You can't compare the guitarists you mentioned to each other. The styles are so very different.

I thought getting a hit single was a goal of every rocker with a gleam in their eye. I see you have a passion for the bles and especially heavy blues. All the guitarists you mentioned absolutely kill in their styles and venues.

I love Iommi's and Hendrix use of Marshalls and feedback for sound.

Rory is great too. I'm not bitchin' I'm just saying. I forgot how good Bachman was

@elrip1 Thh .LOL comment below is for you

[tommieparch]

LOL, hey man, I said BTO is my second all-time favorite band (but this album ended it for them), it almost sounds unplugged & was badly produced & not written well.. Tony Iommi of Sabbath is a far superior player..I put Randy second over Gallagher, Hendrix, Rhodes, Clapton, Trower & you still find somethin to bitch about,,,

[elrip1]

Listen to this man's guitar playing! No matter his jazz, blues or Rock & Roll licks he plays circles around everybody. Chords, licks, song writing and sound! Wow! Blows me away!
