It¥s fast, it¥s a simple pentatonic riff and it kicks ass. But, the main ass-kicker here is Ace. The solo is as quick as lightning and has more energy than a nuclear power plant. This album is probably Ace¥s high point when it comes to technique and just playing. Most of the solos, that are actual solos that is, have a certain spontaneous feel to them and I believe he just winged these. If you can play this cleanly and in tempo, you¥re the man.
