TRACK FRAGMENTS:
1.) "Ride" - This track opens with a small keyboard effect before going into the main intro arrangement.  The main intro section consists of a very simple hard rock rhythm guitar riff.  There are several musical rests in between the guitar riffs of the verse.  This more or less lets the vocals and drum rhythm carry the verse.  There is a small rhythm guitar change underneath the chorus.  The second verse with the addition of the bass line is the actual meat & potatoes of the song.  The breakdown section that leads into the guitar solo was set up very similar to the same way Bon Scott use to set his breakdown sections up.  Much like the rest of the song the lead guitar solo was very laid back and basic. 
2.) "Wrong Number" - The intro to this track is heavily influenced by late seventies AC/DC.  If one did not know any better you could almost swear that AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd recorded the drum tracks for this song.  Underneath the fifth vocal line of the first verse Paul added a second rhythm guitar arrangement.  This addition of a second rhythm guitar riff gives the song a heavy feel.  The only real difference between the two guitar rhythms is the fact that one consisted of a small palm muting effect.  The band kept the choruses of this song very short and simple.  In between the second and third chorus there is a small breakdown section that consisted of a phone conversation overdub.  It sounded like the band slowed the song down just a little for the breakdown section.  The lead guitar solo that is after the breakdown section was more of a minor solo than major.
3.) "Boozin' Susan" - This track opens with a sixteenth-note hi-hat rhythm underneath a rhythm guitar riff.  There is a small almost inaudible lead guitar lick that connects the intro section to the musical verse.  The lyrical lines and rhythm guitar riffs of the verse could have been a unreleased AC/DC track.  There is a small rhythm guitar change for the musical chorus.  The only thing that makes this track different from a AC/DC song is the lad guitar solo.  
4.) "Your Side" -This track opens with a drum rhythm intro.  In the way Armando played the hi-hat notes gives the drum rhythm a funk feel.  The rhythm guitar riffs underneath the vocal lines of the verse gives the song an almost Jackyl sound.  There is a few bars connecting the first chorus with the second verse that consisted of a small snare drum solo and bass line solo.  These two bars alone breaks the band's AC/DC mold.  The lead guitar solo Paul wrote for this track is one of the first ones on the CD that is an actual major solo.    
5.) "Bad Habit" -Paul opens this intro up with an almost Danzig sounding rhythm guitar riff.  The musical verse though heavy has a blues feel to it.  For the drum line underneath the verse Armando used a tom-tom pattern instead of a standard drum rhythm.  In doing this he was able to intensify the blues feel.  The choruses though laid back had a very intense feel to them.  After the second chorus the band drastically changes the arrangement by speeding the song up several bpm (beats per minute).  Instead of going back into the chorus after the arrangement change I feel a well placed guitar solo would have worked a lot better. 
6.) "Seven Beer Bitch" - The intro to this track opens with a blues shuffle rhythm.  There is a rhythm change connecting the intro to the verse.  Underneath the first few vocal lines of the first verse Paul plays a couple of very cool lead guitar licks.  There is no musical change between the verses and choruses.  After the second chorus there is a small lead guitar solo and breakdown section. 
7.) "No Warning" -Paul opens this track up with a semi-blues influenced rhythm guitar arrangement.  This rhythm riffs fit the vocal lines of the intro perfectly.  There is a small musical rest connecting the intro to the first verse.  The band kicks the first verse in with a completely different rhythm arrangement than the intro section.  The verses of his track had a very laid back feel to them.  All in all this track had a very abstract feel to it.  
8.) "Bet Your Life" - This track opens with a very simple laid back intro section.  There was no musical change between the intro and verse.  After the second chorus the band drastically changes the rhythm structure of the song.  All in all this song is just a straight forward in you face song.
9.) "Hook Slide" - This track opens with Paul playing lead guitar effects.  The guitar sound Paul chose for the intro gives the intro a Danzig feel.  The rhythm guitar change of the musical verse gives the song a real heavy feel.  Lee's vocal line change leading into the Chorus was heavily influenced from AC/DC's Bon Scott.  There really is not much too this song it s just a straight forward rock -n- roll song! 
10.) "Goin' Nowhere" -The keyboard that opens this track was heavily influenced by Jon Lord of Deep Purple.  The keyboard along with the drum rhythm underneath the vocal lines of the verses has a Deep Purple "Smoke On The Water" feel to it.  The bass line for this track has a very solid groove too it.  The bass line makes this the best song on the CD!  After the second chorus there is a organ solo.


    Lee Scott is the resurrected voice of original AC/DC lead singer Bon Scott who passed away on February 19, 1980.  There are times when Lee sounds so much like Bon Scott if you did not know the ultimate lead singer had passed you would swear it was.  Hell!  I know Bon’s gone and there were times listening to this CD I still swore it was.  Musically, much like AC/DC Adrenaline Factor kept the arrangements very simple and too the point.  Because the first two tracks “Ride” and “Wrong Number” sounded so much like AC/DC, I expected the CD to get very repetitive very quick.  However, this is not the case.  Case in point is the track “Bad Habit”, Paul wrote a rhythm guitar riff influenced by John Christ of Danzig or the Jon Lord influenced keyboard arrangement on “Goin’ Nowhere”.  Because Lee sounds so much like Bon Scott this release is for essential AC/DC fans of the Bon Scott era.
