Spotted on Twitter: legendary frontman David Coverdale - no stranger to working with great guitar players - answered a fan query regarding a solo track, "The Last Note of Freedom," which appears on the soundtrack of the 1990 film Days Of Thunder. The movie is also notorious for being the project in which Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman first met. The question was who plays on this particular song, and the man himself responded:
@MasaSuni
I know the guitar player...the most excellent Trevor Rabin...:)

And to listen to it, you can totally tell it's Trevor on lead guitar. The song was written by Billy Idol and Hans Zimmer (who composed the score for the film). As it was produced by Trevor Horn, we already know he favored using the other Trevor Charles as a session guitarist, whose solo is all fiery fretwork as per the usual. So if you haven't heard it prior to this...enjoy!
