I love that one too Ed :thumbsup: Funny thing is when I listen to it my wife always says something like, "this is the worst singer Yngwie ever had!"

She cracks me up. If she is annoying me, a cranked Uli solo album will get her to go to the grocery store or the bank or the cleaners or anywhere out of range of his vocals. :lol: :LOL:
