You can be salty about that but Born in the USA is one of the most rawkin' tracks ever made and it features a synth front and center. If synths weren't permanently degraded and held in disgust that would matter less.

I'm salty that this isn't the version of We Will Rock You that the world knows. It didn't even get released until 2016. Such is life.

Not like a memorable riff but that's about the definition of a pounding one. They should have done something with that

They played it on tour; there were live versions available via bootlegs for years. It got a better reaction without any music so the "without music" version made the album. Some of the guitar licks ended up on the Highlander soundtrack if I recall correctly.
