  • Tommy White from Oskaloosa IowaThe 502 code for time ops traveling with a compact partial accelerator machine which creates the ability to travel at or faster than the speed of light? And a 502 is enforced because the fabric of reality in high traffic volume areas can sometimes fuse matter together and create paradox after paradox the uncertainty of it is why it's enforced.. my question is what if you put the machine in the backseat would that put one outside of the bubble of time?
  • Shantell from Tijuana, MexicoYeah,Dave is a huge fan of Mr. Cooper,that´s why the tribute stuff....
  • Derek from Flin Flon, MbI hate that breakdown with the cars revving up, it just pisses me off cause you cant hear the music at all
  • Jarred from Appalachia, VaIf I recall, 502 is California State Police code for a DUI
  • Lisa from Vandergrift, PaGreat song, great band. It's Megadeth! 'Nuff said?
  • Il_presidente from Milan, ItalyThe 2004 remixed and remastered version contains a tribute to Alice Cooper: during the break in the middle of the song you can hear 'Under My Wheels' played on the radio.
