Great Cover no its a awesome cover just as good as Buckcherry you guys straight up rock kept it up!!!

@CRAZYCRADER Thanks. We WILL!

This is definitley much cooler than the original. It's raw and so out of Holdsworth's element. I bet he had a blast playing it.

Allan did have fun doing it and so did we.

That's why we chose this song. For a band like us this song is one of the holy grails of rock and never would have done it on our own but to have Allan playing with us on a cover we knew if had to be something he could break the glass ceiling on.

Glad you enjoy it.

Thanks for commenting.

i hope Richie Blackmore hears this..that what happens to guitar players who say Erick Clapton cant play the guitar or that Yngwie Malmsteen has never done anything good in his life,,,plus trowing water bottles at cameramen in live shows,,,Mr .Holdsworth comes and just melts your face and "solo" into oblivion!!! Cheers Richie!!
