Damn solo at 3:14 is heartbreakingly soulful.

I agree, but it a hallmark of a great band to take their material and constantly re-invent in the live arena. What this band are doing in terms of experimentation in the studio and on the road and even in how they distribute their art is inspirational within the music business today. They put pretty much every other band to shame in their pursuit of an artistic vision.

@huezo92703 Man, you can hear his soul in that intro. I have the live CDs from The 20th Anniversary Tour and every time I hear this version of Speed Kills it breaks my heart and heals me at the same time.

he seriously has one of the most beautiful voices on the planet!!!!!

I remember listening to this song ad nauseum when my ex & I separated, & even moreso once the divorce went through. To the person who said that Billy can break a man's heart... man... you ain't kidding. What a gorgeously painful song.

I wish there was a guitar tab for this version, the internet ones I've seen are awful. So far, I have worked out the intro is based on picking the chord which is made from: Ex A6 D5 G0 B6 e6 & then Ex A3 D2 G0 B3 ex. The verse seems to be those chords but with the same starting at the 8th fret on the A string. Any hints would be great people!
