Painkiller is a heavy duty jazz rock type of song. It starts with a long a cosmic intro performed by Pierre Bonin on keyboards. Take not that there’s no overdub on this one. Everything was performed live.
The song is extremely difficult to play. The tempo is 173 BPM and the chart was black of A6 notes figures… The key signature is also not really easy being in G# minor…
I should definitely have transposed it in A minor or in G minor. Even so, I was crazy at the time…
