18.09.2005 14:32 hank Member	****** Sehr gut.
29.09.2005 19:04 Sacred Member	***** Starker Song auf 'Diesel & Dust'!
07.07.2006 15:08 surfer57 Member	***** Ganz OK, knappe 5
24.07.2006 15:06 RockAmante Member	***** Gut, für mich aber klar keine 6!
08.10.2006 19:57 remember Member	**** eine nette balladenähnliche nummer, mehr nicht!
04.11.2006 16:16 variety Member	***** Fast eine 6. Sehr eingängig!!!
10.11.2006 01:14 user0816 Member	**** gut
16.03.2007 17:43 southpaw Member	***** Äußerst gelungen - auch der "down under" Dialekt kommt immer wieder gut.
06.05.2007 18:53 Rewer hitparade.ch	***** ...sehr gut...
06.05.2007 23:41 thomas86 Member	***** gut
22.07.2007 21:11 Werner Member	***** ...starke Nummer, gefällt mir...
28.07.2007 09:08 Deinonychus Member	****** Sehr ausdrucksstarker Song mit düsterer, bedrohlicher Stimmung. Den Ausbruch etwa in der Mitte des Songs finde ich hammerstark, ähnlicher Effekt wie bei "The Man’s Too Strong" von den Dire Straits. Aufgerundete 6*.
02.06.2008 10:30 Dino-Canarias Member	****** Klar eines der Highlights vom "Diesel and Dust" Album....
08.07.2008 17:00 Reto Member	****** Fantastischer Nachfolger der brennenden Betten. Richtig geil gesungen.
öcki Member	****** Fand ich immer als bestes Stück von MOil
Widmann1 Member	***** klasse
BeansterBarnes Member	**** Peaked at #32 in Australia, 1987.
DaveNT Member	***** Awesome track which I find has a primal vibe about it.
Der_Nagel Member	**** ansprechender Aussie Rock aus den 80er...interessant sicherlich der Chartserfolg in Frankreich – 4+...
bluezombie Member	**** Good song.
Hijinx Member	**** Cool track.
Mikele158 Member	****** Ganz klare 6 Punkte. Knaller!
musikmannen Member	****** Great
hisound Member	**** Hörenswert ist das allemal.
MichaelSK Member	**** auch einer ihrer bekannteren Songs
Redhawk1 Member	*** Geht so
ulver657 Member	***** ein ziemlich gutes Lied mit einer schönen Aufforderung... 4.5
Sgt.Pepper Member	**** Ziemlich gutes Stück aus "Diesel and Dust". Erschien im Dez 87 bereits als Single in Australien.
