    Every once in a great while, a band will do a cover that actually surpasses the original song. Alex Skolnick is a master in his own right; yet this cover takes a great thing and makes it superior. This is some God-given talent that defies words. Yes. THIS.

      @TheBlackStymphalian 3 месяца назад

      The two main guitars use GGD Contender Series IR's. It was the Mesa Trad on one side and a mix of the Marshall's on the other. There's some quieter chords during the slower parts which are just using the stock Nameless cabs but the bulk of it is GGD.
