A guy who never seems to get mentioned, Yngwie. Love his stuff; I used to spend hours learning his music and getting no where near as clean as him.

I love songs with a heavy political message;


[youtube]g65syN67F8w[/youtube]

"What are you talking about? America isn't going to be destroyed"
"never? Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed.
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?
How much longer do you really think your own country will last? forever?")

and the backstory to start this song is so powerful & brings such an emotional response with the rest of the song, anyone who likes rock music/politically tuned music check that song out.

Someone mentioned Won't Get Fooled Again, but I think Baba O'Riley is better...here's a great live version of it....Keith Moon was so cool...
