Background
[edit]A review of the song by Ultimate Classic Rock gave it a rating of two and a half out of five stars, and, while praising Joe Elliott's vocals, said that "[w]hile it's not a bad song, the whole thing just comes across as something that's been done before."[4]
The song was used as the opener for most set lists for the Mirrorball[5] and Rock of Ages 2012 tours. It was also played during the Viva! Hysteria residency in Las Vegas on 29 March 2013 where it was recorded and later released on the live album Viva! Hysteria. And made a appearance on the 2015 World Tour being played 18 times, and has not been played (so far) since.
