Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

yep, formula 1 samson with theatrical swoosh and pull, lassoing volcanic energy from this home turf breeze. Comfortable, just the band on stage plugging in and ripping. Phenomenal
