Saw the clip of Separate Ways last night on the Paladia HD channel and it was the first time I'd heard the extended version of the song. Just a cool little aside....When I was out rehearsing with the band, Neal kept noodling around with this odd guitar riff and trying to come up with something to it. I said, "dude it sounds just like 'Tubular Bells,'" cause it had that same sort of sound to it. Anyway, was cool to see how this developed and eventually became the "breakdown" riff in the extended version of "Separate Ways."

That's a pretty cool story.

Quite a few people don't like it, but I love that riff they've added. Cool story.
