Mick Jagger was a big fan of this band, he even produced some of their songs. We melted some faces with "Cult of Personality," with one of the best guitar solos ever (at least in the top 30). When this record was released they got a lot of attention, not only for their music, but the fact that it wasn't typical in the mainstream rock world to have four black guys jamming on metal riffs.
