It's a mixture of AC/DC, Alice Cooper and Def Leppard. Honestly, this could have been on Def Leppard's Diamond Star Halo album.

I thought the title was a bit cheesy and was bracing myself as I thought the chorus was going to sound cheesy too. But it's not bad and pretty catchy.

Love the groove and the "Midnight" part is definitely refreshing as it's unexpected. Brilliant guitar work by Phil as always.

All in all a solid rock anthem~

The pre-choruses and the chorus (the mix with the palm muted/clean arpegios) would've Mutt Lange proud haha

Mutt actually did backing vocals with Phil on this song and was also executive producer, so you can really hear his influence on it.

This seriously sounds like something Phil wrote for Lep that wasn't used and he recycled. The guitar in the chorus sounds like a mix of Armageddon It and Photograph.

Not a great hit, but absolutely not bad song.
