yes...THE Bruce Dickinson........

Cliche'd? Overplayed? Well maybe. But, God, please let me play, just once, one smoooth, sustained, clear note, (not even a riff,) like the ones on this track.

I understand where your coming from. Here in the sticks however, it hasn't been overplayed as much. So I gave it a 9.

I'm also going to add my voice to the chorus of "overplayed". I've heard this song so much over the years that I really don't appreciate it very much any more. Some songs can withstand that, but for me, this isn't one of them.

If anyone's wondering why this gets played with all the other great songs on that album, it may be because they've never been uploaded, eh?

This is, and forever will be, Godlike.

I never get tired of this. It can't be overplayed. One of the best intro's anywhere.

"eclectic", maybe... but I think RP prides itself in being mainly "non-commercial" so this song definitely does not fit in the "non-commercial" category

eclectic mix??

The classics will always be played and deservedly so.

man, back in those days album cover art really was art, you know, dude?

DITTO!!!!
This is way overplayed

What is the purpose of the LRC if we end up listening to overplayed eclectic hits that have been worn to the nub? This album is full of amazing music but guess what gets played? Uh, the only hit that has been playing since it came out 30 years ago.

Yet another Song Comments cliche. Sure, we can turn it off now, but if when we were younger and not so astute, we may have let it roll (and roll, and roll....) and had it burned into our subconscious to the point that just hearing the first notes cause us to run in any direction, well...damage is done. For some songs, anyhow. This one is still a pretty good jam.

How was that for a run-on sentence?

This is enjoyable anytime, any mood. One of the few songs that I have ever known that can do that

That's a FANTASTIC point.

One has the CHOICE of turning a song off. It is overplayed if you allow it to be.

There is only one way to play and sing this song - and that's by the man himself - Santana (Timeless for Sure)

Never too old, cannot be overplayed IMHO. This and Samba Pa Ti.

This always sounds good to me....it did back then and it still does now...timeless classic..

Attended a Santana Blues Band gig at the Chicago Stadium in '69. I realize he's since become too popular -- and far too successful -- for RP noses, but I'm nevertheless in favor of his continued appearance on the playlist.

This song is tired and so overplayed.

gunna have to make some love tonight because of this song, this stuff is so much smoother than his new crap

Can we please go back to the days before Carlos decided to whore himself to every single band and singer on earth? While this is gold, I for one am Santana'd out.

compren todos los que escuchan el "abraxas", es una joya en la historia del rock
