The thumbnail depicts the first of many bumps and bruises that the new Hellcat will be sustaining over it's next few years of rigorous speed testing on the poor helpless streets of Nashville Tennessee

Alcatrazz - Yngwie Malmsteen

i might have just been a dream, but i think i may have heard Gus play something similar to this one night at a mind blowing Chinese buffet gig in St Lous when he was doing music from his seminal instrumental heavy metal album "Master Of Peepees"
