I think this is my favorite song off this album, and while there are MANY notable things about this song musically (or lyrically; god damn, Phantom Blue had the best fucking lyrics in ALL OF '80S HEAVY METAL, or maybe even of all classic heavy metal?), can I just say: THOSE DRUMS, THOUGH...especially in the outro. Linda McDonald KILLED IT on this, omgggggggggg.

And thank FUCKING GOD there is live footage of this song, because, OH MY GOD...it's orgasmic. And I absolutely never say that, but it's necessary here. Everything about the band's performance (ignoring the probably drunk concertgoers who get up on stage, lol) is fucking perfect. And the combination of Michelle Meldrum and Nicole Couch...holy fucking shit, does ANY band (but I suppose I would, especially in heavy metal?) have a combination of such skilled guitarists [who can alternate covering lead, and, might I add, PRETTY AMAZINGLY, TOO, IN BOTH REGARDS]?!

Go ahead, watch this. And then pick your jaw and panties up off the floor, among other things...

#the keep reading is there to hide the fact that I am speaking very nsfw-ly/maturely about this so read/watch at your own risk :P #HELLO DO YOU ALL KNOW THAT LINDA MCDONALD IS A SELF-TAUGHT DRUMMER? because I JUST now read that on Wikipedia.#excuse me while I (later - after I sleep) look around for some interviews with her. I gotta learn* more about her I mean wtf #*learn more about her prior to/beyond drumming for Iron Maidens because I'm not an Iron Maiden fan so idrc about that...#oh wait I also just read that she was influenced by Phil Collins. OF COURSE SHE WAS...I'm not surprised.#I feel like at least two of my favorite drummers were influenced by Phil Collins so yeah. lol and I should include her as a fave of mine to #Phantom Blue #heavy metal #music #MY JAM #Youtube
