Great big slab of rock - great vocal and (marshall) stacks of energy. Great catchy chorus and rage spits outta the speakers - ace.

Ooh yes... &mdash 01/03/08 - 03:02:41 PM
...now this is more like it!

Love everything about it, from the rockin guitars to te very excellent vocals (and b.vox) the mental soloing and....not least....the sentiment and well crafted but 'to the point' lyrics.

More please =

Well done tune. &mdash 01/03/08 - 11:51:32 PM
Very well done all the way around.The only beef I have about the song is in the discription:)
The idea that 'civil liberties' trumps getting information outta' some fool that seeks to kill and destroy as many innocent lives as possible is fair game in my book.

I would agree but &mdash 01/04/08 - 09:34:26 AM
according to several reports that led me to write this song last year....and these are from official defense and homeland security reports....as well as several news agencies....

Out of 500 detainees at Guantanamo.....maybe 15-20 were possible confirmations of involvement in terrorist cells....that's a terrible ratio(20 out of 500)....not to mention that many people put there were sold out by family and friends in countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq...in these cases there was reward money offered to people in very poor nations...then these "accused terrorist" were handed over to the local authorities of that country....then turned over to the USA or a member country of the "Coalition Of The Willing".....when these folks were handed over to the USA there were no questions asked.....we "trusted" their intel and detained these people....with no lawyers....no hearings....just tossed them away....even a couple of brothers whose only crime was running a political satire mag in Pakistan....

Also....in official reports on some of the torture committed.....the guards would take a Muslim prisoner to a confinement cell....beat the piss out of him (literally).... wrap them in American and Israeli flags....force them to kiss a crucifix.....when the prisoner would cry out for help to Allah the guards would laugh and smirk and tell them that they were their Allah and their Gods....then they would have a female guard (who was having her cycle) come in and ring out a bloody tampon all over the prisoners face.....

is this how a better or enlightened and free people should behave?? I think not....

I believe that no matter what we should never stoop to such a level....now is interrogation of people confirmed to be terrorist needed....of course it is....esp. if it will save innocent lives....

But before we get out the battery and clamps we better make sure we know who and what these people are.....all I'm saying is that this shows that a "no questions asked" type of atmosphere just does not work and we can do better....


cause if we don't? blood and revenge only creates more blood and revenge....just look at the middle east and the struggle between the Palestinians and the Jews....no one can remember who threw the first punch....they just keep on swinging....several thousand years later and they are still throwing punches over who did what first

much peace amigo and thanks for the dialog....

I like music that actually has a message. I'll post some more comprehensive comments when I can hear this through a decent system, but I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.

Powerful &mdash 01/09/08 - 08:33:43 AM
Now this sounds pro.
Such a full, powerful sound and excellent performances.

I know this is not my most original comment, but when I don't have anything to criticize, how can I?

Excellent stuff!

Light & heavy &mdash 01/09/08 - 11:24:07 AM
Nice. Love the lightness of the sound within the context of a heavy tune. I think it has to do with the upper mid EQ you use on the distortion. Could use more defined bassline, but other than that this is a really good track. I'd appreciate lyrics, tho. I truly enjoy your stuff.
