I agree with Muzzy, Reid is fucking fast! Great song, shame these guys are so under-rated. Uhh... as for the dude who said some mexicans crucify themselves: I'm from Mexico, and about 98% of the country is Catholic, and some people do some crazy stuff like, to come to Mexico City from other states far away from here on foot, sometimes even on their knees, supposedly to show their dedication to the Virgin Mary and stuff, but I've never heard of people crucifying themselves around here... that's a little extreme.

Vernon Reid is one of the greatest hard rock guitarists ever, it's too bad that he often gets overlooked.

discovery21 summed it up pretty well. It's funny how in a world of grey there's so much black and white--so much polarization and mob mentality. Extremist ideas are easy to relate to and support because they are black and white, even though they are far from the truth of that which is reality and may not even be logical or practical. Those who refuse to follow the masses and carve their own path will find enlightenment...because in the end, YOU are the only one who can get you there. The journey is different for everybody...even though everybody strives towards similar ends. Buying into someone else's way is a sure dead end. I mean look at all the mindless religious-illiterate conservatives in this world and I'm not just talking about in the Mid-east...I'm also talking about right here in the States. It's just ridiculous that people have to line the pockets of babbling idiots who exploit them through infomercials just to feel as if they've found some fulfillment in their life. I mean anyone can believe what they want as far as religion, but as far as I'm concerned, "Today's religion is tomorrow's mythology."

I can remember the song when I was young, I liked it and all, but forgot about it. Then I saw it was listed in Guitar Worlds "100 Greatest Guitar Solos Ever" and I was like wtf? Then I listened to it again, and was blown away, the guitar in this song is fucking bad ass. I suggest downloading it and listening to it, this dude is fast, I'm talkin Randy Rhoads fast.

& you think this song is about??? I think it's about just believing in your own religion & government & not what older people always tell you & shit. Great song too.
