Thoughts on Safe Home Solo

[Fidochippy]

Anyone else feel like the solo for Safe Home feels like Fade To Black. Not saying that Charlie is ripping it off, far from that! But I truly feel that it is just as powerful! Absolutly beautiful! The best solo from Anthrax ever!

Kid's, I cant tell you how much I love this album. After paying $40 for it, I feel like I got a great deal!. This is a master work!

I am sure hoping that radio will hit Safe Home, this song could be huge if just given a chance. Let's hope some music directors out there have some balls and taste!

Long live the mighty Anthrax!!!!!!!!!

If anything if you look at the comparisons between the two tunes safe home's solo is far more groove laden and powerful than fade to black IMO.

 

[Armored Thrax]

I totally agree........after all of the hub bub about getting a good lead guitarist (which, in Rob, they did!) and the guest work from Dimebag, Charlie goes and busts out the best solo on the album!!!

Good work Chaz............

Doesn't Scott play lead guitar?

Doesn't Scott play lead guitar?

No. As far as the solo goes, I really like it, and I really like the song. But, I would take the solo in Fade to Black over Safe Home any day of the week. Don't get me wrong, I love Safe Home (and the solo), but it's no Fade to Black.

The solo in fade to black is without a doubt a kick ass solo and i think it is probably the best song off lightning.

I just feel that the safe home solo fits like a glove into the rest of the song a bit better than fade to black. Not by much though.

I was just thinking... Do you think this because Safe Home's solo is in the middle of the song while the solo in Fade to Black is at the end? I mean, do you think it fits better because the chorus comes in again after the solo, whereas Fade to Black just fades out with the solo? Just a thought...

 

[wullief]

quite possibly.

 

[johnnieCzech]

So, is it really Charlie who plays the lead?? I should have bet, then!

 

[Emperor Nakoo Hiryuu]

Doesn't Scott play lead guitar?

Nah. I think he did a lead on Think About An End (I THINK that's the song he said he did a lead on), though.

i like the solo in the acoutsic version....very moving I think.

 

[Fidochippy]

Kaiyan, where can I get the acoustic version? That sounds very cool!

It's a bonus track on the Digi Pak version of the album. The acoustic version is fuckin sweet.
Oh, sorry, I'm not Kaiyan...

I bought the Safe Home single from Nuclear Blast and the idiots sent 3.

 

[timmyc]

You can send any spare my way please.....lol

 

[gazmetal]

No way. I'm keeping them all to my greedy self.

Did they charge you for three or one? (or two?)

 

[gazmetal]

Just one. They came with my Armored Saint shirt.

I vote for the solo on Fade to Black. Does that make me a bad person? I prefer the song "Safe Home" still, but I like "Fade to Black"'s solo.


I can't find my Ride the Lightning but I just listened to the version on the CDs of Live Shit.

 

[kaiyan]

ive been looking about for the single! no luck. shit how much is it to get from N.B? I heard so many shit things about them from you guys I`m sceptical in ordering.
