Neighbor was blasting his stereo one day back in the early 80s and the **** I was hearing stopped me in my tracks. The guitar work was unlike anything I'd heard. Turned out to be Yngwie's Rising Force. He eventually turned into a joke but back then he turned the rock guitar community upside down.

Didn't happen again until I first heard Shawn Lane playing Rice with the Angels. Had to pull my car over and remind myself to breathe.

Have you listened to his other tracks? I like him, and i like how receptive the mainstream was to a song that criticized religion.

Yeah I listened to it before you did bruh.... I can tell you that. Hozier has had a thread here for a while now. However take me to church is played out. I can think of 62 songs that blew me away when I first heard them that make Take me to church look like child's play.

This band was introduced to me by Frownland and right away they blew me away.



I can easily name you at least 4 songs by them that blew me away with their guitar arrangement but this one was the one that impressed me the most.

^Damn, the music is great, but vocals like that sadly ruin this for me.

That was my initial reaction too. I thought they sounded too emo but the more i listened to the band the more i realised they go perfectly with the guitars.

I'd really prefer the music to be instrumental, or some hyperactive weirdo like Pere Ubu's David Thomas as the vocalist.

Damn, I wish I still did acid. I'd watch that video non-stop the entire time I was peaking. Great music but also not a big fan of the vocals. Mainly because they are a bit monotone.
