    This is FUCKING FANTASTIC!!
    Holyshit!! This is not an easy song to play!! Rhythmic dynamics; key modulations; difficult melody - these guys are ALL OVER IT!! Tight AZFUQ!!

    80's Big hair, skinny ties & vests... I miss songs like this... hell, I really miss the 80's! This is such a deep, sad song that crosses over from tragic to something else, that still haunts me to this day, over thirty years later.

    When I saw this movie in 1986 it blew me away. Possibly one of the best movies ever alongside Apocalypse Now, HEAT etc but with the soundtrack as well it's just a total gem. Wilhem Dafoe made his debut in this as did the CSI Vegas head of unit.
