Rocking as it is, the riff forming the backbone of ‘Cochise’ is not a new one; instead it pays homage to Led Zeppelin, with a touch of Deep Purple thrown in for good measure. The outcome is an impressive introduction to a great song, complete with distorted notes played through a whammy pedal. Written by Tom Morello, the lyrics of this mighty song tell of an 18th century American Indian chief who waged war on the invading white man.
