Didn't "Born this way" rip that one off, anyways? I've never really heard the GaGa song... :$

 

Yep. I had forgotten about Born this Way since the first time I heard that one, I also thought of Express Yourself.

 

And now all I hear during the solo is Sweet Home Alabama's solo.

 

Man, I was so digging this song, but now it's just feeling like a mashup of other songs.

Listening to it again made me realise how much the solo is influenced (or seems to be influenced) by Jack White.

 

Lol, I was reading the comments when Reapers first hit, and there must have been about 8 apparent influences. :LOL:

I cant really hear the jack white... Too clear for Jack White. Yes octave high solo is jack white signature but the playing is just toooooo clear for his taste. He would have used shitloads of ghost notes, muted notes and much much more aggresive picking. I wish if Matt played a solo like that at the album.

 

But either way its definetly NEW way of playing Matt. I cant say that I didnt love it :D

I think I am going to love the final polished song on the album. I love the 2nd half of the solo that leads into the chorus. Yeah the outro sounds a lot like Freedom and that takes away from it a little bit for me.

 

Could be better, could be a lot worse

I still think a lot of that solo was improv, excited to hear it on album

 

Perhaps. It does sound improv . But I can also imagine him doing this improv style solo on the recording. I would be surprised if they key change was not the album bc that would be over the top improv !

It definitely gets wanky, but I love it when the solo continues over the chorus with no vocals, probably my favourite part. Not sure if thats what you mean by the key change or not.

I reserve judgement for when I get to hear the actual/studio version,since I think a few stuff is improvised. But I don't really like what I hear,bloody hate the chorus!

 

What's wrong with the chorus? This whining is annoying as fuck. The chorus is great!

Love

Is becoming a killing field

There's a crosshair locked on my heart

With no recourse

And there's no one behind the wheel

Hellfire

You're walking in the crossfire

Drones!

Drones!

 

We will rise in the sea

Bodies on the shore

Take off ************

Now I am ready to know

 

[Verse 2]

War

Watch us to **** here

I don't think I can handle the truth

And it's just too cold

And we're all expendable

**********

They're trying to get around the ********

Drones!

Drones!

 

[Chorus]

We will rise in the sea

Bodies on the shore

To become reapers and horsemen

Now I am ready to know

 

 

We will rise in the sea

Bodies on the shore

Take off ************

Now I am ready to know

Too much thought control

Bodies on the shore

To become reapers and horsemen

 

Now I am ready to know

"...ready to know" sounds like radicalised to me and I hear "war, wars just moved up a gear" in verse 2
