Why Does Love Got to be So Sad? Great tune indeed Replicant. This extended version to me is the killer, especially the last half of the song. I remember I heard this version one morning driving to work on Sirius's "Deep Tracks"- and I was smitten:

Not related but sound like she could be Ann's daughter. Alice In Chains covers the riff.

Barracuda - Gretchen Wilson and Alice In Chains

@meyers7 Isn't that Nancy Wilson also playing in this video?

I do believe that is her.

I do believe that is her.

I looked it up on everyone's source of truth, Wikipedia, and under Gretchen Wilson's article it does state that it is Nancy Wilson on guitar with Alice In Chains at a VH-1 Rock Honors show.
I am guessing that this could be where the video was recorded...
Now, back to more guitar riff posts!!!
