It's like a runaway train this one. But it was very welcome when I first heard it. The final track on the previous album was 1000 Years. The next track up 2 years later was this. Chalk and cheese. And we know which one is the cheese Both the same writers as well. Which I suppose if I'm being generous demonstrates a variety of approach. Something I'd normally applaud. So I will. 8/10 from a 9/10 album

I don't like this one as much as it deserves. Something I can't put my finger on. I think I am missing the "little nasal whine" which this song seems to demand. I like the solo though, I could have done with more of that. I think I would listen to this more if it was on one of the later albums.

Always liked this one, good quality song, that rocks along nicely.
I don't think it was that suited to be an album opener, maybe track 2 or 3 to keep the momentum going. But then I suppose on the RYTD album there wasn't really a brilliant opener, so it had to do. Album placement aside, really good song.

Sounds like Lies, Ring of a Change and Rock'n Me by the Steve Miller Band.

There’s something that doesn’t do ”it” for me, it isn’t a bad song, but I still miss something. Can’t put my finger on it, but deffo that kind of song that never will make it to one of my Quo compilations so to say…

Love it. Always have, and I always will. Major nostalgia hit whenever I hear it as it reminds me of the times I spent watching the Rock 'til You Drop doc endlessly when I was younger.
Could've easily been a great single, with the music video being shot live at various shows and shots in-between travelling to and from concerts - in the same vein as the GDTT promo.
Should've stayed in the set longer than it did. I think the last time it was played was the Blackpool Opera House show although I'm not too sure if it was played the following night in Sheffield.

Love this one a good kick ass start to the album and some good drumming from Jeff here. Everything was high in the mix on this album and got back to more of a live feel a bit after a few heavily produced records.

Definitely played at Sheffield as I was there
