I see bad stuff about it all the time on this board. It is one of my top 5-7, and I'm sick of it being pummeled.

Why I like it?
Probably why a lot of people don't: the lyrics. The lyrics talk about the abuse of power and do it sarcastically which I think is very creative and very rock n' roll. "Glorified version of a pellet gun...feels so manly when armed." This is the abuse of power, it feels so good for people that know they have nothing really, to pretend by feeding their power trip.
Sorry to get philosophical, but I love this song.

And nobody make fun of me for saying "very rock n' roll," I know how it sounds.

Also, the guitar in this song is about as raw-sounding as a guitar can get.
That's all.

Yeah I dig it too, but then again I also like Last Kiss so there goes my credibility.

I like holding my fingers up in the shape of a gun when Eddie sings it. :P

The first time I heard the opening riff to this song was probably the moment I fell in love with the band.

I love the song. Plus you make a good point. Maybe this should be a song of the month? HEY STIP!!!! Any way we can set this one up for song of the month next month??? hu?? PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?
We really should talk about the raw energy and funk like sounds this song provides.. that and it is great live, Listen to the Atlanta show from 03.

I've always liked this song too. It caught me the first time I heard it, and still gets me fired up 13 years later. BTW - great workout tune.

Ed probably hates it because he's gotta listen to Stone butcher the backing vocals. :wink:
