He said: \"I read this manual on South African interrogation techniques, and 'Rise' is quotes from some of the victims. I put them together because I thought it fitted in aptly with my own feelings about daily existence.\": https://genius.com/Public-image-ltd-rise-lyrics\n\nSteve Vai contributed guitar work to the track. The drummer was American jazz fusion pioneer Tony Williams, who first gained fame in the 1960s as a member of trumpeter Miles Davis' band.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
