The SingleS: “Twelve Gates” & “the riff that won’t quit”

Bassist Tom Petersson describes it as “one of my favorites on the record,” while Rick Nielsen’s trademark guitar work provides the hooks that drive the track forward. The song also arrives with a colorful animated visualizer video, now streaming on Cheap Trick’s official YouTube channel.
