I'd agree with that. Great comment! The guitars are super clear! The bass also sounds great and it's just a well recorded song. I can't get over the guitar lead sound myself...the air waves compress and expand before his solo and his effects are just super subtle but evidently clear...it just takes each step and they got it right in letting it transition like it sounds as opposed to trying to smooth out the effects turning on and up. It sounds amazing! The drums too. Sounds like it was recorded in a high end music store after the instruments were tuned by a sound guy professionally...but..hey..who knows..if these payers are who they appear to be..it could just be them but..who knows...the studio or the stage..things can be deceptively good or bad...and when tuned electronically..well..you can bring up some real quality sounds..I really like this song alot and the guitarists got some respect here...they made these instruments sound amazing and real! That's really cool...and it was really different at the time of release as well so...very cool song and video and definitly a song for the future and today. When the hell was yesterday? I dunno but theres a middle and 2 futures...one with the MC5 velevelt underground beef heart zappa and all kinds of amazing music and another with Kravitz sound garden Metallica etc...theres always these middle grounds...the past becomes the future because it really belongs there...nothing can get old..it can only be cool and get handled again and again..thats whats what.

Lenny! He may not be the greatest guitar player of all time. In fact he doesn’t even come close. BUT he’s got to be one of the greatest showman’s/ entertainer out their. Great, great video. Well produced and righteousness through and through. Just kicked a 6 day Fentanyl withdrawal. For the first time in over 23 years I’m completely drug free. Listening to this song and watching this video with 4 days clean time is pure magic. Whoever took the time to read these words may love and happiness fill your day. Blessings 🙏
