This Slipknot jam is a MONSTER (go directly to jam). Listen to Phil and Jerry communicate and battle. Results in new heights previously unheard of!

This is THE KILLER BEW! High energy, INSANE Jerry licks in solo, blazes into Jerry screaming "Delilah Jones was the mother of twins!"

How this is not considered the best Loser I'll never know. Absolutely insane Jerry solo ending with an EXPLOSION into "Last fair deal..."

Perfect pace and groove. Super hot ending jam starting by blasting the main lick full band full force. Awesome Jerry licks to complete.

I hate make it look like I'm just jumping on the Essen bandwagon here, but to say Jerry's ending solo on this one isn't an absolute scorcher through and through would be a flat out lie.

Very good Althea, although I think I still prefer 12/14/80 over it. Yes, the Jerry solo catches fire shortly after the 7 min mark. I was able to listen to it on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaMCYrYiESg

Pleasantly surprised on this '86 Althea. Jerry cooks on ending jam completing with whole band coming together tightly on main riff. Bobby on envelope filter rhythm guitar to boot!

Super HOT Deal. Jerry is on FIRE and cannot be stopped! Must listen for Deal fans.

My favorite Wharf Rat. Bill & Phil are super tight here creating a great groove throughout. A must for Wharf Rat fans.
