[@MickLoud999]

Every kid in this band is great. I still can't get over how Yoyoka continues to play head and shoulders above most people she performs with. Her playing is impeccable. I am a Heart aficionado and have seen many seasoned drummers take short cuts when performing this song. Yoyoka has performed this better than anyone I have ever seen. Michael Derosier is a beast and the most overlooked performer in Heart without a doubt.

[@tapsX3]

I agree. Derosier is an incredible drummer who doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Yoyoka has such a strong right foot, she can play anything accurately.

[@SegaDoesGaming]

Holy moly her vocals are out of this world. Of course, I already know (and am a big fan of) Yoyoka and Ellen. Everyone is so talented!

All the kids are incredible, but Vinya's vocals are so big and front and center, and taking on some of the greatest rock singers ever, that it's hard to not be absolutely blown away! She has a great way of hitting the big notes that are such waypoints to the song, but adds the perfect little touches and phrases that make it her own. What a talent!

[@markdecker6190]

That's what I love about this collaboration and especially this song, because since they're not trying to match the song note for note the final result is even more enjoyable.

A car accident crushed my hands and could not play anymore. I tried years later and PT etc. but by then the it was over for me. Stevie and Jimmie made it as did Bugs Henderson, John Nitzinger...... These Kids are far ahead of kids in our day.....we did not have schools that taught heavy rock music. Take advantage and learn as much as you can but also dont make it a grind....do it to enjoy it
