Ok.... Ok..... That one’s real easy just like all Static X songs.. And I just want to let you all know that I mentioned Tripp Eisen was not playing Guitar for this song it was just Wayne because Koichi ***ing left the band right before recording, so I mentioned Tripp because he’s the new guitarist for Static X and I wanted to give him props cause he’s ***ing awesome and I loved the work he did with Dope on their last album and I wish him the best of luck for him in Static X and I know you don’t really ***ing care about this but you know what I do... I take a lot of time and effort to do this *** for you and I’m gonna write whatever the *** I want alright... Alright!! :-)
