Squeezing into Monday with this track, here is the final track from AJFA. Never played live until 2004; 16 years after its release back in 1988. And you can see why: it is fucking complicated and exhausting!

A riff-tastic opening heavy in the syncopation of drums and palm muted guitar pauses before launching into a frenetic assault of a second drum/guitar intro. Followed by verses full of double kick, and James' final bark of the album. Final ever you could argue with a change to a more sustainable voice from the Black Album. No choruses

Guitar solos for an interlude and breakdown, laid down by Kirk again so fast you might suspect it was played lower and the tape sped up! A repeating refrain of "Dear Mother, dear father" laying clear the pain that is these lyrics also

As I mentioned already, not played live much: so has anyone seen it themselves? Anyone attempted to cover it themselves? The down picking palm muting surely goes out the window for this track
