nice calculations Leith... I like this song. it is fun.  the boys look like they\'re having fun whilst playing it, and it has the potential to be monstrous... seriously.. get Jeff Pevar on slide (or tim for that matter) and see what comes ab00t

Well glad you like it Robyn but as far as a great noob song.
 If that was the first song I heard by them I would never listen to this band again.
It\'s as catchy as a bangkok hooker, fun as having your fingernails pulled and a great song to segue out my ass. IMO

lol

Can\'t say I disagree... especially with that first point. People say..."oh its a great song for noobs they all dig it, look at Strange Creek everyone got down" ... I dunno, maybe so. But all the n00bs I\'ve brought to shows recently have agreed this was the worst song in an otherwise extremely kickass show (Cambrige, Southbridge).

People say it\'s catchy.... I dunno about that either.. what\'s catchy to me is that crazy freakin\' guitar rip towards the end of Puppetry.. or the crazy-fast funky part of Gladys.. or the first three chords of Rufus... or a sweet ballad like Good Things or Question Mark and the Mind.

Different strokes for different folks I reckon. But most everyone I\'ve talked to is either luke warm about this song, saying "its a good song for n00bs", or they hate it.


blah blah blah... I really hate talking shit about my favorite band but ever since I first heard this song right after a SICK Rufus in Cambridge.. I was like WTF is this?? To be quite frank, it was a buzzkill.

Is there supposed to be a poll here or something?

When this song first came out, I hated it!  It sounded like many other blues tunes, but then I heard it more & began to really like it.... I had to vote for "Like it sometimes" cuz it\'s getting a bit overplayed at shows, though (IMHO)

LOVE IT!

There is nothing wong with a classic high energy blues progression with some great lyrics and RAGING solos over it folks.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I could see it getting old if its overplayed due to its simplicity but ...used sparingly I think its a big boost to thier repertoire and a fun tune for all us and any newbs to boogey down to!
