"Revelations" is the second (and, with the departure of Chris Cornell, final) single by Audioslave from their third album Revelations. The song is believed to be about ignorance and its effects on people, its lyrics apparently being a sarcastic imitation of hero-worship.
Musically, the song begins with a unique, dreamy, slightly flanged arpeggio that is unusual for Tom Morello. After a repeat, the main riff of the song crashes in accompanied by drums and bass. Tom's solo once again invokes the toggle switch technique, creating a hectic array of notes which seem to bounce off each other before entering the closing bridge of the solo, where the whammy pedal is put into full force.
It made its debut on the soundtrack of the video game Madden NFL 07.
This song is the tenth single from Audioslave to hit the top 10 U.S. Mainstream charts.
"Revelations" is the second track from Iron Maiden's fourth studio album Piece of Mind. It is based partly on a book by Aleister Crowley. It is one of the few Maiden songs written solely by Bruce Dickinson.
"Revelations" is an instrumental song by Carlos Santana that was originally released on the album Festival. The song starts with solo piano, then more instruments are added, such as electric guitar, strings, and different types of drums. As the song progresses, the tempo and volume increase, and more guitars are layered upon each other. At the end, Santana uses his Wah pedal, one of the few effects he is known to use throughout his career. The song was written by Coster and Santana.
