There's learning to play this tune - and then there's really seeing how it is played! Brilliant.

So many great Lizzy tunes, but this one has the most traction and legs I guess.  My opinion of this particular song is that it is the Hard Rock equivalent of Born to Run---that anthemic, that powerful and that brilliant lyrically, with twin guitar solos. I love it.

Cheers Scott ! , me old paint ;)

There is learning to play a song. And there is actually playing a song. Feeling, soul, charisma etc.. No matter what genre. Dont have that, dont bother.
